[Dick - 25; Wally - 27]
"You should go sleep, Wally. You've been awake for god knows how long." Dick looked over at the redhead, worry clear on his face. Wally huffed and gave Dick a hard look.
"Funny that say that to me, D." He gestured around the room. "But no. How am I supposed to sleep when my lover and best friend is in the hospital because he was tired on duty and got shoot in the end!" Wally glared at his boyfriend, but Dick can see the worry and fear clear as day in his green eyes.
"I get it-" "Oh, do you now?" Dick looked pleadingly at him which Wally rolled his eyes at but backed down. "You were worried and, admittedly, I shouldn't have exhaust myself like that. You're worried and scared for my life, as you should and have right to, but I can take care of myself." He reassured, but Wally didn't look reassured though.
He gave a tired sigh and slouched in the hospital chair besides Dick's bed. "We could have avoided this entire situation if you'd only take care of yourself. I'm just-," Running a hand through his hair, tense and stressed. "I'm scared. Scared for you. Scared for your life. Scared that you die. Scared that-...you leave me." Wally ran his hands over his face and rubbed his eyes.
Dick looked owlishly at his partner. He wasn't aware that he thought of it like that. Frowning and thinking back to his behaviour, he mentally beat himself up. No wonder Wally was so persistent about him taking care of himself. He was such a dick. He had been blind to his fears and got offended when Wally told him to rest, to take care. This wasn't just about him anymore: he had people that depend on him, but also people who could depend on, and he was ignorant for ignoring that.

Looking over to Wally, Dick could see how worn out the other was. How...defeated. He probably expects Dick to object his claims and, realizing to his own hurt, he probably would've in normal circumstances.
"Wally..." The speedster, much to Dick's dismay, sank into himself. "-you're right." Shocked, Wally looked up into the blue eyes of his boyfriend. "I'm reckless, I'm not going to deny that, and you've all the right to worry about me, I'm just a stubborn dick who can't see over his own pride." Dick reached his hand towards Wally. "And I hope you can forgive my stupidity and how dickish I've acted the last years."
Looking at Dick and down at his outstretched hand, Wally began to chuckle. "I've forgiven you for every dickish thing you've done the last years, I can do it once more. Probably shouldn't but you know. You make me go crazy." He winked flirty and made Dick giggled.
Wally laughed and took Dick's hand, who pulled him towards himself and kissed him. "Careful of what you say, or I might just marry you on the spot."
"Well, hopefully you do, because I didn't panic over proposing to you for months only to not marry you." Dick glared amused at Wally. "And yet I was the one who proposed." Wally waved dismissively. "Details, details."
Pausing and looking at each other, both burst into laughter.
They might have a happily ever after, after all!

My Pixie Familiar
Pixies are real. Not only are they real, but are considered pests due to their mischievous nature and love of pranks. Some people think they are magical and making a potion or powder from their wings will transfer that magic to a person. Any good alchemist will tell you that is not true. Most will gladly take your money and make you a "magic potion" though. My name is Jase Fisher and I thought I would follow in the steps of my mother and become an alchemist since I didn't enjoy fishing, hunting, or any of the other trades offered in Beau Ferry, my village. Not only have I been looking forward to being an alchemist, I was looking forward to bonding with a familiar. My biggest fear is not bonding with one of the exciting familiars such as a dragonet. If I can just make it through the bonding process, my life is set. Oh, and not run afoul of any pixie pranks.
