Wally's phone began to ring. He rolled over in his bed and reached for his phone that was on the floor. He stretched for it before tumbling out of his bed, bring his sheets down with him. He sighed and rubbed his head before grabbing his phone and answering it.

Once he answered his phone, time just stopped along with his heart. Finally he brain caught up and he ran to get dress and to wake his uncle Barry up. He was spending the weekend at his aunt Iris's and uncle Barry's place. He sped around his room, tripping on things that were laying on his floor. He seriously needed to clean his room, but he couldn't think about that right now. He needed to get to Dick.

Wally then raced out of his room and ran directly into his uncle's room, waking him up.

Then they both ran to Gotham City, to Wayne Manor.

As the ran to Gotham, all Wally could do to not completely freak out was to keep going over the phone call.
It had been from Dick's cell, but it was Alfred on the line. Wally closed his eyes for a split second to go back and listen to the call again.

"Dick?" Wally's voice cracked as he answered his phone.

"Oh Master Wallace, I'm so glad I finally reached you." said Alfred.
"Alfred? What...what are you doing with Dick's phone? Where's Dick?" said Wally.

"Something has occurred at the manor with Master Dick, and I..." said Alfred but Wally cut him off.
"What happened to Dick?!? Is he alright? I want to talk to him!" Wally yelled, his voice full of panic.
"He is currently laying in the medical bay in the batcave.'' Alfred.
"WHAT!?!" questioned Wally, fear etched deep inside him.
"I think it would do Master Dick good if he saw you when he awakes. He uttered your name when we brought him to the cave, sir." said Alfred.
"I-I...I'll be right there!" Wally stuttered and hung up.

Wally opened his eyes and saw that they were just entering Gotham City. He pressed himself to run fast, he needed to see Dick.

--------------------------

Wally and Barry came to a harsh stop inside the Batcave. Wally's eyes darting everywhere for any sign of his best friend. Just then Bruce turned around from the Bat computer and looked over at the speedsters. He rose and walked over to them. Bruce then looked over to where Alfred was standing and Wally didn't even wait a minute before he ran over there.

He came to a stop as he saw Dick laying still on the hospital bed. His green eyes widen as he slowly walked closer to his bird.

"He has been recently very depressed, after your last mission on the Fog and The Shadows." said Bruce as he stood behind Wally, with Barry right next to him.

Wally closed his eyes, flashes of that mission and following the mission flashed in his mind. The Kiss. Wally opened his eyes and took a step back.

"No" thought Wally, as he shocked his head then look over at Alfred.

"We didn't realized the severity of his depressive state this time. I thought giving him some space to collect his thoughts and feelings was wise, but I appeared to be wrong. He cut again. He hasn't self harmed since his parent's death." said Bruce stepping forward.
Wally hung his head, he knew that wasn't true, he knew that Dick had relapsed and started cutting again. He knew Dick was skipping meals and hiding the fact that he wasn't okay. Wally knew, he knew all of this and now...now Dick was laying in the Batcave, unconscious with an iv in his arm. 

"This is all my fault" thought Wally as tears puddled within his eyes.

"We think...Dick tired to take his life last night.'' Bruce said and placed his hand upon Wally's shoulder.

Wally's chest was tight, he had stopped breathing as he stared down at the boy he loved, the boy who broke his heart, his best friend. His bird. Just then, a single tear trailed down his face. 

"After Alfred worked on him, Dick whispered something. He said your name.'' said Bruce who then turned around and left the young speedster alone with his son. Barry hugged Wally real quick, told him that it was going to be fine, then left to talk to Bruce. Alfred stood by for a moment longer. He directed Wally to a chair near Dick's bed and then once he say down he turned and left him alone with Dick.

Wally was frozen for a while, just lost in thought.

------------------------------

Sometime had past and Dick's eye lids were beginning to flutter open. He was blinded by the lights above him but after blinking a few times he could finally see. He turned his head and saw Wally sitting next to him with his head in his hands. Wally's shoulder shocked as he cried. Dick's eyes widen at this and soon everything came flooding back, Dick began to cry, breaking Wally out of his state and rushing over to him.

"Dickie?" Wally said he leaned over him. All Dick did was nod his head, and that was a good enough response for Wally. He quickly bent down and brought Dick into a hug. Dick slowly and painfully brought up his now bandaged arms and held tightly onto the back of Wally's t-shirt. They stayed together in each others arms for quite sometime, until Dick pulled on Wally's sleeve, signally that he wanted Wally's attention. 
Wally reluctantly pulled back from his best friend, whipping the tears off of his face. He looked directly into Dick's ocean blue eyes. Dick then suddenly began to sign very quickly, to fast for Wally's brain to keep up. Wally reached forward and grabbed both of Dick's hands, stopping him for a moment. Wally could feel Dick's hands shaking within his, Wally's heart broke a little bit more right then.

"Dick stop!" yelled Wally. Dick's eyes widen and he leaned back from Wally, trying to pull his hands back from Wally's grip. Wally didn't mean to yell at him. "Dick, just stop. Stop for one second and slow down, okay?"said Wally. Dick inhaled and nodded his head. Wally slowly let Dick's hand drop down. Wally sat down on the side of the bed, not taking his eyes off of his best friend. Dick began to sign, but slowly this time.

'This was all a big mistake! I didn't mean to, I swear. Wally, you got to believe me, I didn't try to kill myself. I thought about it but I didn't do it...I was just upset and I-I cut too deep and too much and...' Dick's hands began to shake and he couldn't sign anymore. Tears flowed from Dick's eyes. He then leaned back into his pillow. He brought his shaking hands up and over his eyes as he cried.

Tears where beginning to fall from Wally's eyes once more. 
"Rob...it's okay." said Wally. Dick shocked his head 'no' and now his whole body was shaking from his sobs. He then quickly moved his hands from his face and began to sign again.

'No it's not Wally! It's not okay! I did this, I screwed up. I screwed everything up. I-I I destroyed us, I ruined our friendship. I-' 

Wally leaned forward and place his hand on Dick's shoulder as he shocked his head at Dick. "No you didn't. Your still my best friend! I'm still your's. You didn't destroy anything Dick. I'm here, okay? I'm here right now because I care about you. You mean so much to me and a lot of people. You didn't screw anything up. Just calm down dude, it's alright." said Wally.

Dick nodded his head even though he fully didn't believe Wally, he nodded and tried his best to calm down but he couldn't seem to do it as he looked into Wally's eyes, and he remember the hurt look they held when he pulled away from Wally after he kissed him.

'Wally, I did mess up. You kissed me and I, I pulled away.' sign Dick. Wally's eyes fell from his face and looked down at his own hands.

"Dick, don't worry about that right now man." said Wally. The Dick reached over and grabbed Wally's hand. Wally looked up at Dick quickly.

'It's not what you think Wally. I pulled away because, you deserve someone so much better than me. I care about you too Wally, I do. I have for the longest.' Dick sign and began to cry more. His arms hurt, his head and heart hurt as well. Everything felt like a complete and utter mess to Dick. 

Wally sat there on the bed in shock. 
"Dick, my best friend had feelings for me too? He thought...he believed that he wasn't good enough for me? He is so perfect, I wish he could see what I see when I look at him. Oh...my Dick, my birdy." thought Wally.

Wally leaned forward and brushed the tears from Dick's face. Dick looked up at Wally, he felt like he could get lost within his eyes, little did he know, Wally thought the same thing about his eyes and his smile.

Dick was still crying but it didn't matter, because Wally's lips were suddenly covering his. Wally's hands were then cupping Dick's checks. Dick's eyes widened in surprise, he barley had time to completely think about this before he closed his eyes. Wally's lips were gently pressed against his lips. Dick then slowly began to move his lips with Wally's. He then slowly wrapped his sore, injured arms up and around Wally's waist and slowly pulled him down, deepening their kiss.
Wally's hands then slid down off of Dick's checks and rest his hands on his shoulders, then he slowly pulled back. He looked down at Dick. His lips were red and his eyes wide. Wally smiled then leaned back, making Dick's arms drop. Wally searched Dick's face for any sign that he didn't think that this was a good idea, but he found none. Wally then moved more on the bed.

Wally was now on his knees on either side of Dick's thighs as he leaned forward and let his forehead touch Dick's. His hands were once again on Dick's face as he closed his eyes. One of Dick's hands touched Wally's wrist. Wally slowly opened his eyes and looked down at his best friend. Wally saw that Dick looked happy, at peace. He hasn't seen his birdy this way in suck a long time. It made Wally smile wider, knowing he was the one causing this mood. Wally leaned back from Dick and chuckled a little bit, looked down at him. He shocked his head, because he was actually happy and at peace too, just like Dick was.

'I love you.' Wally signed. Dick began to blush and he closed his eyes for a moment. He then reopened them and stuck his tongue out at Wally.

"I l-love you too Walls." said Dick, earning him a huge smile from Wally, who gave Dick a quick peak on the lips. Dick then pulled Wally down to lay next to him on the hospital bed. Wally pulled Dick into his chest. Dick leaned his head into Wally's hold as he laid on his back while Wally laid on his side. Wally's head was leaning on his hand, his elbow holding his head up. Wally could see Dick's eyelid drooping closed.

"Good to sleep my birdy. You're safe.'' said Wally keeping a watchful eye on Dick. Dick's eyes finally closed. Wally smiled down at him.

"Stay" whispered Dick, Wally nodded his head and laid his arm over Dick's waist and touched his hand. 

"I won't leave you Dickie'' said Wally as a ghost of a smile crossed Dick's lips as he drifted off into peaceful sleep.

Soon, Wally cuddled up beside him and fell asleep too. His hold on Dick not letting go for one second.
