A/N: This chapter is based off the picture above.
Dick/Robin hasn't slept in a very long time and he is struggling a lot and Wally becomes aware of this and tried to help but he continues to push himself farther until he eventually passes out.

Wally's POV-

It has been the third day that I've noticed that Dick is off, like way off. He is naturally a little off, he is different than the rest of us and that has something to do with his past and now how he is being raised but these last few days I've noticed him being way more off and it is worrying me a lot. 

He's my best friend, my secret crush and my little brother, he means so much to me and with him acting off it scares and worries me a lot. I got to find out what is going on with him before something terrible happens.

"Or what if something terrible has already happened and that's why he's like this'' I thought. 

I quickly glance over at him. He is talking with Kaldur probably about a mission or something, who knows. But by the look of it, Kaldur looks a little bit worried about Rob as well. 

"Humm interesting'' I think. I quickly get up and sped over towards them and throw my arm around my birdy's  shoulders. Dick turns to look up at me and gives me a smile, but for some reason I can tell that it is fake, it's his smile he always uses when he hides and tries to act like everything is 100% okay. Now I am really worried about him.

"Hey Rob you wanna go and play some video games with me?" I ask and he just shrugs his shoulders and I push him off towards my room, waving bye to Kaldur and Conner who is sitting on the sofa watching static for the thousandth time. 

As we are walking down the hallway towards my bedroom, I list off all the games we can play and the whole time he is silent, not uttering a word which makes me frown. "My poor birdy what's the matter?'' I wonder with sadness filling me up inside. We enter my room and he rights away sits down on my bed and sits silently while I pick a game and put it in. I plop down beside him and holds out a controller for him. I watch as he reaches over for it and I can see the slight shake of his hand. 

We begin to play which turns into playing for almost two hours before I hear him yawn. And that's when it hit me. He is acting off because he is tired. I want to slap myself for not thinking that in the first place. I know that him and Bats stay up a lot and that Dick has skipped sleep for a day or two but now I'm wondering how long he has been awake.

Dick's POV-

"Damn it!'' I think. I freaking just yawn, letting Wally onto the fact that I am tired, now he is probably going to start asking me questions. I sigh and try to keep my focus on the game before me but it is getting really difficult to do, my eyes and my whole body feel super heavy right now but I can't go to sleep, I just can't.

"Hey Dick?'' Wally asks me and I roll my eyes behind my mask. I know that he is just worried about me and that he cares but I feel like I have no energy and I just really want to be left alone and to not talk about this.

"Yeah?" I whisper and I see the game pause before me and I sigh. "Great'' I think. The bed shifts under me and I lay the controller down and look over at him. He is facing me and I can see the worry shinning brightly within his green eyes. 

"When was the last time you go shut eye?'' Wally asks me and I bit down on my bottom lip. I look from his face down to my lap. Thinking if I tell him the truth then he will freak out but if I lie then I am lying to my best friend in the whole world, someone I think and consider as a brother, also someone that I have a crush on. Just then I felt a hand gently upon my shoulder and I know who it belongs to. I can't lie to him, I just can't and even if I did he probably would see right through it. So I reach up and pull off my mask and then turned to look up at him.

"Since Monday'' I whisper and I see his eyes widen and I get it. He is really worried about me because today is Saturday. 

"DICK!" yelled Wally and I quickly shushed him, there was a half Kryptonian in the mountain. "Dude what the hell!?! Why aren't you sleeping? Does Bruce know?" Wally started rapid questions at me. I finally reached over and placed a finger to his lips to shut him up. As soon as my finger touched him lip he shut up and his face turned red. I smirked up at him before pulling my hand away but he caught ahold of my wrist. He gave my wrist a small squeeze, silently asking me to tell him what was wrong. I nod my head before I whisper what has been going on.

I was infected with Scarecrow's fear toxin one night on patrol and even though Bruce gave me the antidote, I was haunted in my dreams by the things I saw and heard.
As soon as I told Wally this he pulled me into a tight hug. 

"It's okay. Just go to sleep Dickie, I'll be here for you'' whispers Wally and I nod my head before I lay down on his shoulder. Just before I can fully relax and close my eyes, Bruce's voice comes over the intercom alerting us all that he has a mission for us. I pull away from Wally with a small frown on my face as I slip my mask back on. I can tell by Wally's face that he isn't happy about this. I stand up and hold my hand out for him to take which he does and it sends small shivers up my arms. 
"How much I wish to be held in his arm and..." I stop myself from thinking down that road, there is no way Wally feels the same about me.

Wally's POV-

Dick lays down upon my shoulder and before I can wrap my arms around him I hear Bruce's come over the intercom. 
"Perfect timing as always Bruce. You just gotta ruin this moment, jeez" I think as Dick pulls away and puts his mask back on. He is no longer Dick who allows his walls down, he is now Robin the boy wonder who can't show any weakness. I roll my eyes, I am not happy at all and then I turn to get up when I see Robin holding his hand out for me to take.

I take his hand and can feel butterflies within my stomach and I know that I am probably blushing right now but I could care less. Dick is so amazing and I want to be there for him and to hold him safely in my arms and to let the love I have for him flow to him.
"I doubt he feels the same way I do. All I am to him is his best friend'' I think and sigh at this sad thought.

Batman discusses the mission but I'm not really paying any attention to him or the mission. My focus is on Dick who is standing beside me who hasn't let go of my hand yet. I give his small hand a little squeeze and I can see a tiny smile form on his face which makes me even more happy.

After about a few minutes we all head onto the bioship and I sit in front of Dick which I am not to thrilled about. I want to keep a close eye on him and I quickly turn around to see him. He has his head resting on his hand but I can tell that he isn't asleep but he totally needs it. I sigh and reach over and touch his knee, causing him to jump. His masked eyes are widen and I can tell right away that he didn't realize that it was me who touch him. He takes in a few deep breaths before he whispers that he is sorry. I nod my head understanding him but that doesn't mean that it's okay, he is so tired, he needs his rest. I turn around and look out the window and sigh.
"I just hope he doesn't get hurt'' I think as we keep flying through the night sky.

The mission was a stake out and it felt like forever. Nothing was happening which made it ten times more boring. 
I glance over at Robin who is sitting beside me on the edge of the roof top. I can tell by the way he is body is that he is totally worn out and this mission isn't really helping him stay awake.

"Birdy?" I question him and he looks up at me and gives me a small smile. 

"I-I'm fine KF'' he whispers but I don't believe a single word. I turn my focus back on the mission and wait for some kind of action, when just then I feel pressure on my shoulder. I look over to see Robin passed out, laying upon my shoulder. 
I shake my head and then run my glove fingers through his black midnight hair.

"Good night birdy, I...I love y-you" I whisper to him and after I finish I see a tiny smile form across his face, telling me that he heard me. 

I can feel my face heating up once again and smile widely.
