to be 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘥𝘪𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵 for as long as we’re here together.”

he’s finally smiling, his head tilted slightly before he looked down in a lame attempt to hide his blush.

“i’m uh.. i’m done here. did you wanna hang?”

[#𝟱𝟳. @hisletterman]

wally remained completely still when the blond moved. his eyes slowly follow his hand, watching him tuck that strand back where it belonged.

the athlete had a hard time accepting compliments or praise from other people, especially people he was fond of.

“well.. i promise [...]

[⋆˚𝜗𝜚˚⋆ 𝓐𝒍𝒍𝒚. @drumwail]

flyaway curl back into the mostly gelled slick-back with tender fingers.

“i’m very grateful to have my friends here. i am. it makes the days pass much faster. you’re just — you’re different. good different.”

[#𝟱𝟳. @hisletterman]

cheeks flushed a slight pink at the various compliments. he didn’t do anything he did for praise, but it was still nice to receive every now and then.

“you don’t need me to get through all this. i help, and your friends are already here.. you’re stronger than you realize, alex.”

[#𝟱𝟳. @hisletterman]

it wasn’t very often that someone would be so kind to him. charley was always nice, and rhonda had her own way of appreciating his antics occasionally, but this was different. alex appreciated him in a way that he needed. in a way that made wally feel seen.

he smiles, [...]

[⋆˚𝜗𝜚˚⋆ 𝓐𝒍𝒍𝒚. @drumwail]

wally, you are definitely not ‘just some guy’.” he uses air quotes to emphasize. “you’re funny, you’re supportive, you’re generous. it’s the little things about someone that make them more than the average joe. you’re not just a guy to me.”

[#𝟱𝟳. @hisletterman]

“oh, totally. i was a blubbering, snotty mess. i was inconsolable.”

he smiles, leaning to gently leave his own head against alex’s for a moment. wally hums softly to himself, and then turns his attention back to the field.

“i’m just a guy.. you met in the afterlife.”

[⋆˚𝜗𝜚˚⋆ 𝓐𝒍𝒍𝒚. @drumwail]

“really?! you were worse than me? that’s insane. not — ! in a bad way! i’m just used to being the emotional one.”

alex decides to be bold and scoot in even closer to rest his head on wally’s shoulder. “i feel much better being stuck here with someone like you.”

[#𝟱𝟳. @hisletterman]

“it.. wasn’t that bad. trust me, i was way worse when i first ended up here.”

he honestly couldn’t remember much of when he first got here. he worked so hard to look forward, ignore the past. he wished he hadn’t now.

“i like making you laugh. makes me feel good.”

[⋆˚𝜗𝜚˚⋆ 𝓐𝒍𝒍𝒚. @drumwail]

“that’s high praise considering that you saw me quite literally at my worst.”

he’s lucky that his death was pretty much instantaneous like wally’s was, though the dread of it lasted much longer for alex. “you’re pretty cool. you make me laugh.”

[#𝟱𝟳. @hisletterman]

before sitting up. he crosses his legs, gently nudging alex’s knee with his own.

“... and you. you’re pretty high up on the list. don’t tell rhonda.”

[#𝟱𝟳. @hisletterman]

wally had big dreams in high school, but it was hard for him to imagine this massive, grand life for himself. mostly considering how long he’d been here.

“i know, and i appreciate that. i mean it when i say i’m good. i got charley, and rhonda..” he trails off, smiling [...]

[⋆˚𝜗𝜚˚⋆ 𝓐𝒍𝒍𝒚. @drumwail]

least you’re not alone. no matter what, you’ll have me. not that i’m much fun, but y’know.”

[#𝟱𝟳. @hisletterman]

they sat in the silence together, and he thinks about reassuring the other. he wants to, but alex speaks up first, so he pushes the thought aside.

“kinda. not always. on things like my birthday, or the anniversary of my death, holidays.. it’s harder not to.”

[⋆˚𝜗𝜚˚⋆ 𝓐𝒍𝒍𝒚. @drumwail]

alex did notice, and as a result, he scoots in closer himself. “i didn’t mean to knock on your lucky shorts. sorry.” he giggles and snorts.

a beat passes. “do you ever think about what you’d be doing right now if you were alive?”

[#𝟱𝟳. @hisletterman]

today he actually wore only the shorts, that was normal for practice days, but alex did have a point.

“noted.” he says softly. he wasn’t sure if alex noticed, but he scooted a bit closer while he spoke.

[⋆˚𝜗𝜚˚⋆ 𝓐𝒍𝒍𝒚. @drumwail]

alex turns away from the glaring sun and towards wally, chuckling softly at his statement even though nothing funny was said. to him, it was.

“telling me not to worry is like telling you to leave behind your blue shorts for once.”
