Welcome to Gaia! ::

Wally gasped as Connor's arms circled him and finally, finally, after so long allowed himself to melt into the man's arms. "Oh god Connor I missed you." He whispered, cluttching Connor tightly in his arms and nuzzling into the man's chest. "I know--" Wally choked, looking up and brushing Connor's tears away. "I know you do, I only love you though--so much." He whispered before moving closer to Connor--he froze though and looked into the man's eyes. "May I?" He asked, his lips barely an inch from Connor's but not touching--god did he want it--so much did he want but they were taking baby steps right?

"Okay." Wally said, respecting Connor's wishes and smiling though it was forced. He moved into the hand on his cheek and nodded, "That's all I can ask for--I was--unforgivable...the fact that you're giving me a shot at all make me happy."

Wally smiled when Connor asked if he wanted to get some food, "Yea, let's go to Central Ciy. I'll change out of my flash suit and we can get something to eat." He said, stepping away from Connor and taking his hand to lead him to the zettabeam that took them down to Central City.

"My apartment is right down the block. Just give me a sec, I'll be back in a flash." He said with a light laugh before zipping down the road. He was back a moment later in jeans, a t-shirt, and a green jacket. "Alright, want to get some hotdogs for old time's sake?"

Wally smiled and said, "No hot green things I promise." He teased, he lead the way to the hot dog stand but froze at Connor's words and stared at the ground. "I'm sorry Connor...I'm going to make it up to you though. I'm going to make you trust me again, one day at a time." He said, taking Connor's hand and giving it a squeeze before leading the man on into the city. He'd get Connor to trust him, even if it took forever.

(We can do a skip, maybe do an interaction with Tim or something? )

Wally didn't miss the way Connor's face lit up and bit his lip nervously--was he already losing Connor to someone else? When Connor turned back to him he said, "Oh, the new boy wonder?" He asked, smiling though it was forced. "That's cool." He said before coming to a hault in front of a hot dog stand. They ordered their food then Wally took Connor to the Central City park. It was a nice place with a stone walkway a fountain in the center, and flowers and trees as far as the eye can see.

"This is where I like to eat when I'm here in Central City." He said, sitting at one of the benches circling the fountain and looking up at it. "So uh--You and Tim, I heard from d**k you guys are pretty close...he half as fun as Dickie bird?" He asked, trying not to sound like he already felt threatened by this boy--Connor was giving him a chance right? He wouldn't run off with some other guy....would he? To say Wally was nervous was an understatement.

"Oh." Waly said simply, "And if he wasn't?" He asked, looking at Connor. "Straight I mean, if he was gay..." Wally stared then shook his head, "Don't answer that. Obviously you'd pick him, he was there for you...when I wasn't." Wally fidgeted a moment then said, "Please Connor, just give me a little bit of a fighting chance and I swear I'll win you over again." He pleaded, taking Connor's hand in his and looking at him with sad green eyes. "I messed up royally but i'm trying to fix it now, I really am." He said, his tone desperate.

Wally smiled and closed his eyes at the contact, "I know..." He said, opening his eyes again and looking at Connor, "All I ask for is a chance, that's all I can ask for." he said with a light smile. "Thank you Connor." Wally finished his hotdogs and stared down at the ground, "I guess you should text him now..."

"Oh." Wally blushed and looked away, "I'm sorry....I saw you once or twice but I always of course took off in the opposite direction." Wally fidgeted then said, "Bowling alley would be great." He took Connor's hand and said, "i've been wanting to play some pacman again!" He laughed lightly and tugged Connor along towards the bowling alley. "Go ahead and text Tim while we walk." He said, though he'd rather it be just him and Connor--he hadn't deserved that though...

The look and the clothes weren't lost on Wally he knew Tim's plan, he was far from straight and he wanted Connor. "Hello there Tim pleasure to meet you." He lied, his eyes sharp and a fake smile on his face. Damn it, he didn't know what to do in this situation, sure his body was better then Tim's but he couldn't really show it off in the clothes he wore now. He could easily turn Connor on--he remembered how but...Connor would be mad at him for pushing and in the end that wouldn't win him anything.

It wasn't fair! Tim got to play this game with no restriction while Wally had to play with a severe handicap! Wally frowned and turned back to his pacman game--he'd lost two games since he couldn't pause. "********." Wally growled, focusing on his game as he tried to think of a way he could get Connor's attention without breaking their 'baby steps' rule. If Wally had just been there all along he wouldn't be in this mess...He and Connor would be maried, in Hawaii maybe like their trip when they were young.

Wally wanted to cry--crying wouldn't make Connor like him though. Think Wally think.
