[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!

Draugr Cell //Layer 01-- Investiture:
With the end of the only war to ever reach mainland Australia I found myself living out of a small room in an old military compound that had been handed over to the jurisdiction of the Department of Veterans Affairs. The end of the war, unfortunately, didn't mean the end of hostilities. The terrorism trend that had started back in the early 2000's with the attack on the world trade center over in America, had spread to just about every country on the face of the planet. Over time the constant threat from various groups meant the civilian police force was quickly undermanned, under equipped, and overwhelmed. They were simply unable to respond to the daily threats in any reasonable time frame, and in many situations lacked the both the skills and equipment required to deal with the threats to put them down in a 'safe' and expedient manner. Veterans of the war that were being reintegrated into society however, were just about everywhere, all the time. We have the training and the skills required to deal with just about any threat you care to mention, all we needed was access to the equipment to do so. In a world first, under the new Veterans program, the Australian government had taken the rather controversial step of allowing specifically selected veterans to go armed in public. Sure, with Australian weapons laws being very, very strict there were a number of hurdles to get over first, but that's where the selection part comes in. Tangentially that's actually how I met Brianna, my current partner. We work as ringers in Victory City, I thought being thrown into imptomtu combat operations and risking my life on a daily basis for barely livable wages was excitement enough. Then I met her... it... I don't know. An AI unlike anything else out there has wedged itself into my life and decided it needs to... look after me. What could possibly go wrong? **** This is the first book I have released, and my first entry into a cyberpunk universe. There is minimal drug use, a fair amount of sex, a bit of gory violence, and a sultry AI that has decided the main character needs a harem.

The Card Thief of Culnivar
Deep with the cozy kingdom of Daeton, among the generation-old farmlands and villages, a young farmer’s daughter stumbles upon a dead man. His elaborate clothing has been torn to ribbons, yet his skin remains unblemished. His face is peaceful, and tucked into the hand lying across his chest can be seen a solitary playing card. He is a Ludum Haeres. The last remnant of a Summoner. Numbered among those few capable of changing their destinies. The unseen rulers of the world known as Vesperia, and one of the most powerful creatures in existence. The woman knows none of this. And so, she picks up the card... This is my third novel on Royal Road, the first being "Beyond the Horizon's Eye", and the second being "The Dawnfire Archives". This story is something of a test in a new genre, that of CardLIT. We'll see how well it succeeds as the story continues. It takes place in a different setting than my other tales, with an entirely new cast of characters. It does, however, contain several ties between the stories. Average post between 1000 - 3000 words.
