The fourth to learn about it was M'gann. And she didn't even mean to (it was an accident). So of course, he forgave her (because it wasn't her fault). Despite what she had thought.

"I'm so sorry, Wally," Miss Martian went on, "I didn't mean to, really."

"It's fine," he tried to smile.

Even when he gave her his best one (she knew it was fake). And it was hard (because he didn't want to smile). It felt forced (too forced for his taste).

"Oh, Wally," as she glided over to where he was, "I just, I don't know, I don't know how to explain it."

He was tempted to ask her for further explanation, but he didn't. Instead he looked over to where she had previously sat, particularly at the stacks of cookbooks on the table. He was about to ask her about it, when she cut him off.

"Do you want to talk about it?"

About what? These feelings of his?

Like when he first found out about them? It was sometime after their mission in Northern India. And from then on, they just kind of grew. Grew into this thing that wasn't quite like love, but it was more than what he had felt in the past.

"What do you like about Captain Marvel?" and even though she said she wouldn't (it didn't occur to him that she was still reading his thoughts).

Not that he had minded (because at this point, he just needed some sort of support). "I don't know, I just do."
But there were something about those blue eyes. For some reason they were like his when he was a kid, the way they would get so big. So (so) big whenever he was around. It was as if he were the Flash (even though he wasn't).

And for a second, he wondered if his crush would ever want to know him as Wally West. Not that he didn't mind being Kid Flash, but it would have meant a lot to him (because he was more than just a sidekick).

"Does that mean you're going to tell him your feelings?" M'gann squealed (in his head).

"Yes, no, maybe, I don't know."

And that was how he ended up spending the rest of his afternoon, talking about things (like double dates and hot guys) that didn't really matter to him. But it had been awhile, since he (had last) smiled (like this).
