I awoke to the feeling of fingers on my cheek; at first I ignore it, thinking it's just my hair teasing me. But it keeps moving in a slow circle, I open my eyes and look up to see Wally looking at me through blurry eyes. I smile lightly and take his hand in mine. It's warm, I intertwine our fingers and he smiles at me lazily. But then I remember how badly I felt, look at the clock, its two in the afternoon, I frown and meet his gaze. He notices me gaze and turns a little serious, at least he knows that he needs to be.
"You are an idiot!" I whisper, biting my lip, "You should have gone to the doctor if you were hurt!"
"Your lip is bleeding," he says, wiping the blood off of it, completely ignoring the subject, I knock his hand away gently.
"You had me worried; I almost had a panic attack when you didn't wake up this morning." I pull my feet up to my chest.
"I'm sorry,"
"Sometimes you need to take of the mask and think," I stress, "You're not just a super hero dedicated to protecting people, you are important to people, and you need to think about them before you go charging at some villain."
He stays quiet in his hospital bed; I look up at him and see his blue eyes staring blankly up at the ceiling, his lips set in a straight line. I suck on my lip, he's angry with me; I shouldn't have brought up the hero thing. Great now he is going to hate me forever, I contemplate leaving, just going home packing up all of my stuff and just take a bus far away and out of Wally's life. It's probably my fault he got hurt anyway, trying so hard to defeat the villain quickly so he could get back to me. I really am just as my name is, I'm a jinx. I stand up and turn to leave but he pulls my arm back and I fall on top of him on the bed. I look up from his chest, flushed with embarrassment. His hand rests gently on my waist, and he is staring down at me with intensity.
"Don't leave," he mumbles, pulling me closer to his chest, weaving his fingers into my hair.
"I've upset you." I manage to get out without stuttering.
"No you just pointed out the truth, I should be more careful. I don't have anyone watching my back and I get too cocky. When you're out in the field with me things will be different, but until then I need to be more careful, for your sake."
"My sake?" I question, trying to look up at him.
"I don't even want to think about how bad I would feel if I were not able to come back home to you." He says gravely, tightening his grip on my waist and hair. I think for a minute, blushing lightly and deep in my greedy heart I actually hope he is talking about loving me. But I end the thought, and decide to say something sappy, that's usually how this sort of dialogue goes right?
"Remember the first day I came to your house?" he nods against my head, "I was so nervous about living with you, and the first thing you did when I got there was take my hands, and you let me take off your mask. You revealed yourself to me and I appreciate that you trust me enough to do so. Not even Seymour would let me see his face. I guess I'm just saying you don't have to be the super hero all the time, so while you're out of commission I am inviting Raven up and she is going to help me with my magic and protecting the City. Think you can handle that Flashy?" he pushes me off of him and gives me the most breathtaking smile, my heart pounds in my chest.
"I think I can handle it."
I smile lightly and fall back into him, letting my head settle in the crook of his neck, breathing him in. I know he does not like me, not the way I like him. But right now, just lying in his arms, I can pretend he does, and that makes me feel so much better. The room fills with the sound of our breathing, his heart monitor, and my own heart pounding in my ear. And I am content.
This is my submission for Day Three, its a little late but i got stuck home sick today so Ce's La Vie, anyway its very short but i promise to make part four longer if possible, hope you guys enjoy it!
