Wally ended up going to a room. It was clear that this was a bedroom and that this bedroom belonged to his best friend with how chaotic it looked. The room looked like it had not been cleaned up in a while. He slowly was put back on his feet's and he looked around and then giving the other a raised eyebrow.

"Meh couldn't be bothered." A shrug was added to the answer that Wally gave and he snorted at this. Of course he wouldn't be bothered by it.

"Just say that your lazy, dude." He amusedly said as making his way to the bed, plopping himself down and wondering once more what he should now say.

"Well your not wrong about that." The tone was having mirth but by now he was occupied with his thoughts to realize that the other had said something.

"Dude you don't even need that long to clean up." The tone tone was having the same mirth yet fondness as even after a year they had seen each other his best friend had not changed much. So that this made him be thoughtful and his expression changed to blankness as he started to think.

The two had not met each other in a while and now being alone with his best friend yet crush made him feel self conscious. He once more wondered what the other would say to him having had to harm others. What he would say when he would know that he was doing self harm as his own punishment.

As he felt like he deserved this. Hurting someone was against everything that a hero was. It was why he was harming himself.

"Richard?" This brought him back to reality so see his best friend sitting next to him and giving him a concerned look. His heart felt a fluttering as his feelings were felt with this once again.

This was one of the reason why he had fallen for the other and it made him fall even deeper for Wally. But he gave no answer as hugging his knees, head on top of his knees and feeling the fuzzy feeling whenever he regressed.

It was the stress that made him regress and the fear of Lotor that he done this. As the only time that he was not harsh to him or less harsh was when he was in his regressed mindset.

"You alright there Dickie bird?" The tone was even more concerned and that done it so he shook his head and sniffles were heard as his eyes squinted close. He wasn't wanting the other to see him cry but he couldn't help it.

The kindness of the other was too much to handle. He felt like he wasn't deserving it and it was one thing that Elle was knowing and trying to make him believe that he deserved it.

"Richard?" When he heard his name got softly called he turned his head towards his best friend now to realize that the other had his arms around him. It was so casual and so Wally that he couldn't help but snort.

This entire thing was just so normally done that this felt just ridiculous. This just was like nothing had ever changed. A thing that surprised him. He thought that them having not seen each other for now a year would change something but it seemed that this never changed.

His body leaned into the touch and he Wally's expression was making his heart flutter with how he looked at him with pure adoration yet as well as concern. Leading for him to feel guilty now. After all he had helped Lotor with doing these horrendous things. Maybe this was why he cherished this now as curling himself into the side wanting to be as close as possible as it could be the last time.

"Am fine jus' tired..." He mumbled and it was the half truth. This was also something that tend to happen him feeling exhausted.

"Alright, just that you know that you can always talk to me. Anything that is bothering you, okay Dickie bird?" The tone was soft, soothing and reassuring. It made him still not sure that he should tell the other and so he hid this.

There was just no way that he could mention what he done and maybe at some point he would be ready but right now he wasn't.

"I-I know..." He mumbled and this was the last thing said for a long time with both enjoying their company. But then a loud alarm blearing, leading for him to flinch and a whimper escaping.

It was making him fear what would happen. Fear that someone would get hurt. Someone that he cared of.

"Walls please do-don't go." He softly yet fearfully as wanting to have the other stay with him. His arms hugged a bit tighter around his best friend out of fear. At least so he knew that he would be safer. At least here he was knowing where he was and here were the chances that Wally wouldn't end up getting hurt.

"Shiro's gone mad! He's escaping with Lotor! Stop him before he leaves the ship!" The voice of Allura made him whimper once more and feeling the confusion and fear but also the betrayal of this making him regress.

This wasn't his Shi-Shi. The male would never do something like this or would he? The doubt alone led to him feel the tears build up. It would not take a lot from him to start crying with him ending up regressing.

"Please let go Dickie I need to get-"

"No! Plea-Please do not lea-leave me again." He sobbed out and that was all that was needed before breaking down into a sobbing mess.

The sob's that were escaping showing how heartbroken he felt right now with the betrayal of the person he seen as a big brother but also at the same time father figure. It was paining him a lot and having another person leave him made him feel like no one cared for him. And that hurt a lot.

"But he- Okay I will stay here when it upsets you so much, just please don't cry anymore okay? I really like you better when you smile." The tone was soothing and arms pulling him a bit closer to the hug.

His cheeks flushed and he couldn't help but bury his face now in shyness. It was one thing that he just couldn't get over with the shyness when someone compliments him. A hand going through his hair soothingly and soon his sobs quieten and soon all that were heard sniffles.

"Aww how cute. Look at you being all shy and hiding your gorgeous face.~" The chipper voice of Wally made him even shyer and it was not helping that he did call him gorgeous.

It lead to him feeling his cheeks heat up more and he peaked out to see Wally giving him a soft smile. The kind of smiles that were pure adoration. It made his heart flutter and he hid his face once again out of shyness but a slight smile couldn't help but slowly come up.

"Ya know I mi-miss home. Miss my Tati, my annoying yet loving bro-brothers, miss our te-team and my other Un-Uncle and Aunts...I miss Earth ba-but most I missed was u..." He muffled shyly through and he could feel a stiffen and he hoped that he had not messed this up now.

His homesickness hit him harder now that he said it out loud and he really hoped that Wally wasn't going to call him sappy or it would be really embarrassed.

"Guess you did feel the same way. I do too and I am glad to see that you feel the same way." The tone was the same and he relaxed now as snuggling himself deeper into the arms of Wally. God he missed the speedster so much.

"They told me that I would be able to go back to earth but..." There was a pause and he peaked out to see a sad yet also an expression that made him know how much the other cared for him. "I couldn't not with you being still in the hands of Lotor. I had to stay." Their eyes met at this and he shivered but feeling glad to know that Wally would not leave him.

This was a reassurance and he knew that this was why the speedster had told him this. A slight smile was forming on his lips. Once again a silence was between them and this time there was nothing said.

Then all lights went off and he felt a panic come up. This felt too much like the room. But soon he relaxed when feeling a someone's forehead on his and the calm yet soothing reassuring word of his best friend made him know he was not alone. It made him have a sudden confidence boost.

"I need you to get me to the main computer. Need to stop this before it will get bad and when I am not mistaken it has to do with Shi-Shi's suddenly helpful behavior towards Lotor." He softly replied but the eyes showed the confidence.

"Well let's move then, just hold on tightly Dickie." The tone was playful and he let out a slight squeak as being picked up and they soon ended up at the place where was the main computer. Richard was not even waiting for anyone to ask questions.

He just walked over to the one where Pidge was and asking politely to let him try. The female at first stayed but when Wally told her to move she did. It took him a lot of energy and a lot of time to get the virus to be finished and when he done he was relieved.

Everyone was astonished about his skill but Wally was not surprised but giving him a beaming smile. It was making him flush and giving him a timid one back. But at least he knew now that this virus was one made by him and god he was really wanted to defeat Lotor and be over with this but he also wasn't wanting to meet him at the same time.

"God you two are showing your ultra gay energy."

"Hah jokes on you I am not gay but Dickiesexual." Wally chirped out and he spluttered as giving him a wide eyes.

"You- I- What?" He couldn't even grasp that his best friend just said this and he wished that this wasn't one of Wally's jokes. Hope bloomed and he gave Wally a look that said everything.

"Well guess we got a couple now, huh sharpshooter?" Pidge teasingly said and he could feel the heat on his cheeks trail all around his face.

"Of course, or why else do I always complain to you about Wally being constantly talking about Richard non stop. I knew that Wally liked Dickie boy and the same surely is said to Dickie. Look at his flustered expression and tell me otherwise."

"Well I did say I am Dickiesexual meaning yes I am gay for the cinnamon roll." The shrug was making this not better for him and he puffed his cheeks out and deciding to stop Wally up with a quick kiss. Which was making the other freeze for a moment and the blush that adorned was as red as the hair that his crush had.

"There no-now shut up..." He muttered and Wally grinned brightly. He could just puff his cheeks out. It was not said between the two but it was now clear that their relationship was more then just best friends.

"Aww my little cinnamon roll of a brother finally finding their love." A teasing tone coming from Elle made him puff his cheeks out and Wally obviously asking since when he had a sister. Making him have to explain about Elle and their relationship. Then the teasing continued.

But soon he realized that one person was missing and this person was someone who he really wasn't wanting to be missing....
