Fic: Revelations [3/4]
Title: Revelations [3/4]
Fandom: Young Justice (cartoon)
Pairing: Dick/Wally
Rating/Warning: Rated PG for adorable gaykins
Word Count: 581
Summary: Written for the YJ!anon meme prompt which asked for LGBT characters struggling with coming out. Particularly a trans* character.
Dick hasn't seen Wally in something like a week and it's starting to make him feel less crushed and more furious.
"Fucker!" He hisses upon arriving at Mount Justice and finding that (once again) Wally hasn't shown up. No one else is to be seen, most likely because Dick has been in an increasingly terrible mood since he and Wally fought.
The cold voice of the computer is all that warns Dick about Wally's arrival. The young speedster appears in a blue glow, walking into the main room of the base with a look that Dick can't really decipher.
"Hey."
"Yeah. Hi." Dick says. He doesn't make eye contact.
"So... You're probably really mad at me, right?"
"Probably."
"Yeah." Wally droops.
"You haven't been to training in five days." Dick says, inserting as much cold distance as he can into every word, "Aqualad's going to be pissed."
"Look I--"
"You should probably check in with him."
"I don't--"
"Unless you want to get extra push-ups or something."
"I'm sorry, okay?"
Dick isn't sure if he forgives him.
"I'm not sure if I forgive you."
"You shouldn't." Wally tells him, "Forgive me, I mean. I was a shit. I can't believe I said that stuff to you and I really, really don't mean it and I just want you to like me again. Please?"
Dick looks down his nose as imperiously as he can when the person he's looking at is a foot taller than him.
"You called me a girl." He says, "Do you have any idea--"
"I do!" Wally interrupts, "I know. It was stupid. I'm stupid. Sometimes I just don't think and then my mouth goes faster than my brain and end up saying something that my da- saying something I don't mean."
"I don't know." Dick says. He's not quite as angry (or as hurt) as he was before, seeing the honest droop in Wally's shoulders and the dark circles around his eyes that mean that he hasn't been getting any sleep. "I don't know if we can stay together if you're thinking-- If you think of me as a girl, Wally. Because I'm not."
"I know." Wally says, "I did some research. I looked up gender identity disorder and genderqueer and, like, everything and I really, really don't think you're a girl. I'm sorry I ever thought that."
Dick looked up at him and didn't know what to think.
"Please. Dick." Any second now, Wally is going to fall on his knees or start quoting stuff and that would be just plain sad.
"I'll think about it." Dick says, but he's already going up on his toes to meet Wally in a kiss and it feels as though gravity has suddenly been reestablished on a planet that had fallen off its axis. It feels right. Like the day that Dick showed up at the first day of fourth grade in Gotham and everyone was calling him 'Dick' and not 'Rachel' and he thought maybe, just for that one day, he could fly.
Just as Dick is feeling a little bit like he'll never be sad again, wrapped comfortable in the embrace of Wally's acceptance, the computer is speaking in its annoying tinny voice and there's someone stepping out of the blue glow.
And there's someone freezing in the entryway and saying "Wally?" and everything stops.
"Ba-- Flash?" Wally says, even though his back is turned to the entrance and he's not turning around.
"What's going on here?!"
