[Dick - 14; Wally - 16]
"Ugh," Wally groaned, miserably laying on the couch. He was so bored, and his best friend could not be bothered to help him, he had "important" things to do. Dick's probably only hacking into the League's servers again, how boring.
Glared at the device that takes up his best friend (who he has questionable feelings for but who needs to know that) attention, who was furiously tip-tapping away.
Sighing, the redhead got up and walked to the kitchen. Hopefully, there is something to quell his boredom.
Looking through the various cupboards, Wally found some quite interesting. Picking up the little box, the word stood on it. Whilst wondering how this got here (probably Megan's doing), an idea popped up. Wally grinned before going back to where Dick sat. This will help with his boredom.
Trying to be as nonchalant as possible, Wally sat down beside the ebony and began to open the small box. The chocolate-covered breadsticks in all their glory, Wally's mouth immediately watered but he had to contain himself. He was a speedster on a mission, and he was going to succeed!
Wally took one of the deliciousness's out and took a bite. He was careful to chew, as to not accidentally eat all of them.
After a few agonising minutes for the speedster, what he was waiting for finally happened!
Dick closed his laptop and put it aside, looking over to Wally to see that the speedster was eating some candy slowly, which was highly unusual for a speedster. Slightly frowning, he wondered what about it was so special if Wally had not inhaled it in seconds. Something was up, but what?
"What you got there?" He leaned forward, trying to catch a look at the candy, but Wally moved his hand in a way, effectually blocking his view of the text on the boy.

"This? Oh, nothing," he lazily leaned back, a smirk bloomed on his face, which only managed to irk Dick even more.
He huffed, crossing his arms and glaring at Wally over the rim of his glasses. "Well, it is something, if you hadn't eaten it already by now." Raising an eyebrow, he silently dared Wally to say any different. Well, we cannot let the bird get cocky now, can we?
The redhead leaned towards the ebony and took a pocky out of the box. "If you're really intent on knowing, I can be...persuaded." Dick hesitated, before opening his mouth. "And what is it?" He should not give in to Wally, but he was also curious, so he will humour him.
Victoriously, Wally put the candy between his lips and looked expectantly at him. After a minute of silence, the redhead rolled his eyes. "Play the Pocky Game with me!"
Wally looked smug as Dick stared at him. Processing what the other wanted from him, his cheeks dusted slightly red as he finally connected the dots. In a last-ditch attempt to save his dignity, he looked unimpressed at Wally. "Didn't know you loved Pockys so much."
Wally deflated, he looked down in dejection, the Pocky still between his lips. Dick looked at him for a moment before sighed in resignation. He leaned forward and took a bite of the Pocky, their lips brushed briefly before Dick pulled back. "Happy?"
Wally was startled, but collected himself, brushing his weird feeling aside. He grinned at his friend. "Yup!" He got what he wanted.
"Really..." Dick shook his head before turning back to his laptop and returned to his work. Wally contently sat beside him, happily munching away at the candy.
Success!

This is the world that Esterian is born into. After learning of his father’s death at the hands of one known only as the 'Shadow of Heaven', he vows vengeance. But there are other forces at work as well. The rulers of the land, beings of unimaginable power known only as the ‘Holy Ones’ would twist Esterian’s rage to serve their own perverted motives. So too would the band of rebels called Advaitha, shrouded in mystery, their seemingly noble motive of reclaiming the world for man hiding a much darker agenda.

Lawman.
Lawman follows the exploits of Relovan, a Human Police Enforcer stationed on the BlargonianPlanets – a series of small planets on which pure Essence is mined, and refined into fuel. On hisday off, he finds himself and his fellow Enforcers caught up in a fight between two Void Lords,beings of immense power, who answer only to the Council, after the pair of Void Lords touchdown on the Station, seeking to refuel their respective Void Walkers. In the ensuing clash,Relovan punches above his weight and subdues a number of Void Knights – those in the serviceof the Void Lords – before becoming directly involved in the confrontation between the VoidLords themselves. His performance during the incident catches the attention of the current PoliceChief, Nura, who essentially takes him under his wing, and assists him in various ways,including when he is summoned to answer before the Council for getting involved in the spatbetween the two Void Lords. The book ends after the conclusion of the Hearing.Relovan is a stickler for the Law – something that prompted him to learn not only the laws ofvarious territories and planetary systems, but also the native languages and customs, so as touphold the law as best he can. As a highly trained, and immensely skilled former soldier,Relovan’s abilities along with his latent talent regarding the use of Essence, allow him to hangwith beings infinitely more powerful than him. Lawman is a full length manuscript that I will likely self publish once I have the artwork for it.
