[ He's 21 (and Bruce didn't need to see his abs....) which means this is probably a far cry from the Wally he's used to, but still Wally. ]

hey wally
how are you?
i was wondering if you'd want to watch a movie sometime and eat pizza
( she doesn't want to be alone, is the point, and they're - friendly acquaintances, right? maybe friends, even. )

[ wally would definitely consider them friends. it doesn't take much for him, especially with someone as friendly as kara. he gets a weird feeling something might be wrong, but he doesn't want to pry. he's not sure if they've reached prying level. ]
hey kara!
im cool just hanging out at uni before my next class
i would absolutely love to eat pizza and watch a movie sometime :)
im free tonight if you want?

hey wally
( he's actually taking his time with writing this message, so he can cut out all the awkward turn of phrases he might've included otherwise. it's kind of difficult to swallow anyway, but -- barry isn't mean by nature. it really doesn't suit him. )
i wanted to send you a message to apologize for acting kind of like a baby since you got here
i felt sort of threatened but
i do want to have a relationship with you
if you want
and i thought maybe if you wanted to we could go out for a run sometime?
or
something
yeah

[ it's probably a little bit embarrassing how excited (and also slightly nervous) wally is to be getting this text. he's obviously been keeping his distance, because he doesn't want things to be weird, and if it's easier for things to not be weird if he's not in the picture then... well, that's what he's been doing. so for barry to reach out to him like this -- yeah, he's vibrating a lot of nervous energy right now. ]
hey!
uh
that exclamation point was probably unnecessary but
yeah um
i... get it
i mean everyone thinking im you goes two ways
i dont want to be you, barry
i just
want to be part of your life
as much as youre comfortable with
so yeah
going for a run
i think that'd be a nice start

[ he's not really sure what he should be expecting, if anything, but leave it to wally to always ignore those serious vibes and jump straight oblivious playfulness. ]
Mm, I think for than a few for you. What's up?
Mm, I think for than a few for you. What's up?
( it's late when he gets home, after his meeting with the other dick. the other dick, and dick swallows down a rock in his throat, thumping the door shut a little loudly. the telltale signs that wally is home clue him in and dick, quiet as he usually is, makes bustling noises as he pads over to wally's door, knocking once before helping himself inside.
he doesn't know for sure. he can only assume. they've always had expectations between the two of them, things they won't admit to -- wally's always been compared to dick's wally, and dick has always been compared to the other. it's just -- different, now. that he's here maybe, that wally can find forgiveness he so wants, which dick can't supply, not really. he can try to, he can forgive whatever offense wally never inflicted on him, but it won't mean anything. this was always temporary -- they were never going home together. )
Hey, ( he walks slowly over, light from the living room pouring in through the crack of the door dick leaves open, taking a seat at the foot of wally's bed. his hand reaches and touches his thigh, to wake him up. ) Sorry to wake you. It's important.

[ he's not really asleep, when dick sets his hand on wally's thigh. the door was enough to rouse him, but he's sluggish in deciding if he wants to get up -- it's probably nothing, it's just dick, but -- then he's already in wally's room, and with a hand on his thigh and it's important on his lips, and that's when wally finally rolls over and sits up, blinking back at dick in the dim light. ]
[ he rubs at his eyes, and tries futilely to hold back a yawn. ]
Hey. What's up? [ he doesn't immediately guess what should be obvious, considering how late it is, and who generally flock together during the late hours of the night. this probably isn't going to go well. ]

[Never mind that Kate's been gone for about a week. Never mind that that this message might so happen to be the first form of contact from her since her departure. Never mind that.]
Put on your swag tonight.
Styled in a suit and tie.
Be lookin' so fly.
Pick you up at 8?
[Another text comes in soon after:]
PS: NOT AN APRIL FOOL'S JOKE.
Gosh. Bishoping is serious business.

[It's during some afternoon. One where her call doesn't come with much of a warning. Her voice isn't much different than usual, simply bright and casual as Kate Bishop tends to speak.]
Hey, babe, can you do me a favor? I'm a bit unsure about my outfit right now. If I send you a picture, can you confirm that it's on point?

[ wally is currently in a massive line at the university coffee shop, waiting impatiently to order his daily dose of banana bread, and of course that's when kate calls. which he answers, because he's going to be in this line for a while, since there's a customer with an issue and of course they're short staffed today, and during the afternoon rush of all times. ]
[ it's inconvenient, but their banana bread is really good, so what can he say. he'll wait. and he'll talk to kate. it's a win-win, in the end. ]
Well, duh, of course I will. Not that I have any sense of fashion, but I know you do, so I have no doubts whatsoever.

[there's no response beyond that. not for a long while. he may not know wally (yet), but that still doesn't make it any easier to hear.]
i know i'm not

[ and wally may seem pretty unfazed about it, but that's only because he's had a lot of time to come to terms with it. still, he knows it's kind of ... a bomb to drop that casually, so he gives barry the time he needs and doesn't elaborate. no point rehashing all the details unless barry wants to know them. ]
yeah man
i'd love that
maybe i can even teach you your own tricks
