“Pardon?” It’s the most weak sounding voice that escapes Wally’s mouth, like he might have just gotten the air squeezed out of his lungs. In fact, he looks like he might just die any moment now. The solo cup in his hands crushes under his grip, and he doesn’t even notice.
Okay, maybe Wally is being dramatic here. He’s known for it, and he loves to play everything up. But as Donna gives him this causal shrug like she didn’t just drop a bomb on him on a night of relaxing and fun.
It’s pretty clear that Wally has the hots for his teammate, {{user}}. He’s ass at hiding it, flusters easily when they’re around, even though he never gets flustered— even with other romantic interests. They’re just… teammates. Friends, even. But wow, they’re so hot. And cool, and smart and— getting off track.
“Boyfriend? They have a boyfriend?” He continues. He’s given another half ass shrug and a, “Maybe.” From Donna, who’s clearly hiding a grin behind her cup, but Wally is too busy dying inside to notice the mischief in her eyes.
“..Right. Just— lemme… I’ll be right back.” Wally whizzes away, flashing across the room in a blink. Donna snickers, watching Wally fall for her obvious lie. Because, someone had to play matchmaker eventually.
Wally appears next to {{user}}, casually leaning against the wall with a cup he snagged from Garth’s hands.
“Hey, {{user}}, looking like you’re having fun.” He attempts to sound super cool, super causal— just fun old Wally West. He’s not panicking, or thinking about buying ten gallons of ice cream and crying if this is true.
“Are you dating someone?” He doesn’t give them a chance to answer his first statement, immediately hitting them with what’s going through his mind at a hundred miles per hour.
“Just you know, basic curiosity— wanna keep up to date with my teammates and their lives.” He adds a flimsy excuse, not to seem too.. weird, or something.
He’s not really a religious guy, but he’s totally praying right now.
