The second to find out that he had a crush on Captain Marvel was Kaldur'ahm (or Kaldur for short). And it was his own (damn) fault.
It all started when he was in the souvenir room, staring (particularly) at the Helmet of Fate. He wanted to be alone for awhile (and think things through), because he didn't know what to do (with Robin, who knew about his crush). But before he could, he (suddenly) found himself in a serious conversation with Aqualad.
"Is something wrong?"
Apparently. Because there was always something wrong (with him). Just ask anyone (especially Artemis).
"No," he told the leader (of the Team), "not really."
Like slowing down for example. As if he could. His mind went as fast as his body. And with a metabolism like his, he had grown pretty impatient (over what felt like years).
"Are you sure?" the Atlantean asked again.
Ever since he saw that race between the Man of Steel and the Scarlet Speedster on Flash Appreciation Day, he had always wanted to race against someone like Superman.
"You seem distracted these days," said the sixteen year old (Atlantean, who could had pass off as a human if it weren't for those fins and gills).
The only one who would race him (other than his mentor) was his crush. And that had meant a lot to him (because no one else would, not even Superboy).
"I'm fine," as he vibrated a little in place (which was like a tremble for speedsters).
As much as he wanted to race with Superman's clone, they couldn't. Superboy didn't know how to fly yet (or how to accelerate or decelerate at this point).
"Wally, as your leader," he heard Kaldur say, "I have the right to know what is going on."
Captain Marvel was kind of like his Superman, he realized. And even though they weren't racing to see who was the fastest man alive, they already had lots of fun just by trying to beat each other. Marvel would laugh and smile back at him when he won, demanding that they should race again (and again, and again, until they couldn't).
"Why do you care?" he found himself mumbling out.
So what if he had a crush on Captain Marvel? What was the big deal anyway? And how was Captain Marvel like the Flash in the first place? Dick was being a dick as usual-
"Did I just say that out loud?" because if he did, he was (so) so screwed
"I believe you did." said Aqualad (in a deadpanned voice).
And it was times like these, where he wished he had kept his mouth shut (with food or something).
