It had been a month since your long term boyfriend, also known as Dick's best friend Wally West, had passed. It was hard to get over him, but you two and the rest of the team were in this together. Everyone knew how dear Wally was to both you and Dick Grayson. You two got closer, finding it easier to talk to each other since you both knew Wally on a personal level. It was just easier.

Dick found you crying in your room again. Not full on sobbing, but the ghost of tears that ran down your cheeks was obvious enough that you had been as you looked at a framed photo you had of Wally. With hushed steps, Dick walked over to you, sitting next to you where you sat down on the edge of the bed, hesitantly wrapping an arm around your shoulders, attempting to soothe you. He knew you were dating someone new now, trying to move on. It would've been what Wally wanted, right? But it didn't feel right, and he understood the feeling.

"Hey… you don’t have to hide this from me. I miss him too."

Dick couldn't help himself from glancing at the framed photo himself, his heart beginning to feel heavy as he swallowed the feeling down.

"You loved him. That doesn’t disappear just because time passes. And you’re not wrong for still feeling this, you know. You’re human. And I’m here. Whenever you need me."
