"Stay with me, stay with me, STAY WITH ME!"

Robin practically screamed the words as he shook his wounded lover below him, rain pounding against their figures relentlessly. His emerald eyes were almost completely hidden by his eyelids, his breathing shallow, his voice small.

"Rob..." the ginger said quietly.

"Oh God this is all my fault..." Robin practically choked on the words. "Stay awake!"

Mere hours before, the team had been sent on a mission against the Joker, to find out his latest scheme, not to take him down. Robin had agreed with his mentor on that; he knew what the madman was capable of and couldn't bear to see his friends suffer like that. However, things hadn't gone quite according to plan. While shifting through the Joker's Top Secret files he'd triggered an alarm that had alerted the entire base of their presence. While trying to escape, he had been cornered with no way to escape by the Joker himself, gun barrel pointed directly at his heart rapidly beating heart. As the deranged villain had pulled the trigger, a dark blur dashed in front and a heartbreaking grunt of pain filled the Boy Wonder's Ears. He never took his wide eyes off of the speedster as he fell to the ground weak, limp, not even as the enemy made his exit, as the psychotic cackle filled the space around him. The others had managed to find them in the chaos, making their way to the somewhat safe haven of the trees. M'gann was currently trying to call the bioship but the rain and the psychological toll of Wally's condition was causing her difficulties.

"Shh..." Wally whispered as he reached up to brush a few wet strands of jet-black hair out of his partner's face, a small smile struggling to stay on his lips. "S'not your fault..." The other enclosed the soft hand in his gloved ones, holding it close to his chest.

"I'm so sorry..." he whispered back. The solemn red-head's eyes closed further and a surge of panic ran through him. He laid the hand back onto his torso gently before reaching to pull the mask and goggles over his firery red locks now covered slightly with dark soil. With an incredible slowness he removed his own domino mask, revealing his sea blue eyes now clouded with sorrow. If these were their last moments together, he wanted them to be face-to-face, no masks, no secrets, no barriers.

With a steady carefullness he placed one hand on the ground beside the other's head, leaned down further, closer and closer, until his tiny lips met the other's, the taste of fresh rain, salty tears, and apology dark and vivid. The kiss was long and strong, begging, pleading for him to stay, to not leave this world, to not leave him. He didn't care that the others were all staring. He didn't give a damn that their eyes were as big as saucers. And he didn't give a flying f*ck that he'd just thrown his secret identity into the goddamn open. All he cared about was the boy he loved dying beneath his trembling fingers. As he pulled away, eyes begining to open, they grew wide at the sight before him.

He wasn't breathing.

Dick slammed his ear against the other's chest, listening for a heartbeat, a pulse, anything.

Silence.

Sobs racked throughout his body, begging to be released, but he kept them down. This wasn't happening. He couldn't be gone, not him, not Wally. All sounds were blocked from his brain; the cries of M'gann, the others' quiet sobs. Not even the pelting rain nor the wind, the thunder reached him. He listened and only listened to the silent heart of his lover.

. . .

. . .

Oh God, no.

. . .

. . .


The others tried to pull him off but he fought against them.

Dammit Wally, no!

. . .

. . .

Dick was just about to lose it, to let the misery and dread overtake his body and soul, when the tiniest sound caught his attention.

B-bmp...

Dick didn't move, unsure if this was real or he was just imagining it.

B-bmp...B-bmp...

He was certain of it then; he was definitely hearing the heart beneath him beat again.

B-bmp...b-bmp...b-bmp...

Dick still didn't know if he was dreaming or not until he felt a soft pressure on the back of his head.

"Miss me?"

Dick jerked upwards to stare, mouth agape, at the grinning face of his boyfriend.

"Wally...Oh my God...You're alive...But-but how-?" The ginger raised his hand and cupped the smaller boy's cheek softly. Robin leaned into the soft touch, eyes fluttering closed, hand reaching up to touch it.

"You see, the thing is...I was at this gate, right? And this tall guy was there and he opened the gate for me and welcomed me in. He said I didn't have to go in, that I could go back, but at first I really didn't want to. But then all I could think about was you and that look you had in your eyes..."

The speedster raised his other hand up and brought Dick's face closer. "And I just couldn't bear to be without them." The two shared another kiss, one of pure love and thankfulness, grateful that they could lay their eyes on each other once again.
*dodges numerous bullets*

I'M SORRYYYY!

B-but I didn't kill him! I could never kill Wally. But did you guys really think I was going to kill him? I'm really just curious.

This was inspired by the song "Looking Through Your Eyes" on Quest for Camelot. I never really realized how beautiful that song really is. I started tearing up after hearing it after so long. If you listen to it while reading this maybe it'll have a bigger effect...idk.

So hopefully after school Friday or something I can go back to happy fluff. Just been sad lately...and the reason i say friday is because we're going to read poetry aloud again in English and she assigned us to write a poem about an object, including people, and I wrote about my grandfather who passed away last month.

The worst part was I wrote it in the middle of math class and I was wiping tears from my eyes as quickly as they formed.
Imma have to ask :iconhellpassion: to read it for me because if I'm gonna cry, I want the class to at least be able to understand what the poem is actually saying.
