Roy Harper/Reader, ≈ 600 words
Hi Bug!! I really hope you do greatly enjoy reading this, and that it lives up to what you'd hoped for. You're so welcome, I have so much fun writing, and if others find any sort of enjoyment in reading my nonsense, then I love it even more!

Tattooed arms wrap around you, cloaking you from the wreckage of the battle you’d nearly lost. Roy’s heartbeat hammers in your ear almost as rapidly, if not more so, than your own. His embrace is so fierce, it’s as if he fears you’ll disintegrate the moment he lets go. As if he might never have the chance to hold you again. For good reason, he very nearly didn’t.
“I almost lost you.” There’s a crack in his voice. You hadn’t thought it possible, but one hand grips you even tighter as he leans down, reaching up with the other hand to pull off his tinted visor, revealing wet lashes and red rimmed eyes.
The relationship between you and Roy has always been in a steady limbo. Never quite crossing the line to romance, but to flirty and intimate to be defined as merely platonic.
At this point, though, you were resigned to simply let things play out however the fates intended. That was at least, until you’d seen your life flash before your eyes as you'd stared down the barrel of a gun. It was in that moment that you’d realised nothing was guaranteed. You might die never knowing what could be, and the only way to find answers is to get off your ass and ask the questions.
His grip on you makes it hard to lift your arms, but as you shift beneath his muscles, he starts to relax, letting you return the affection. You rest a hand on the small of his back, and cup his cheek with the other, gently caressing the spot on his face where soft, freckled skin meets prickly, evening stubble, basking in the way his forest green eyes make the simmering chaos of the world stand still for a moment.
“Would you have missed me?” It’s not quite the question you’d wanted to ask, you’d just spat out the first one that crawled to the tip of your tongue, but you hope the longing in your eyes is enough for him to infer its deeper meaning.
From the way hesitates to answer, head cocking to the side as he looks your face up and down, you’re certain he's one your wavelength, yet again.
“Stupid fuckin’ question. Of course, I would have missed you, dumm-” The rest of his answer is cut off by the smack of your lips on his; they fit together so perfectly, like your lips were made for each other, meant to be together. Roy must agree, mirroring your own placement, he cradles your cheek in his hand, smiling into your kiss as he draws you into him.
Somebody whistles, probably Wally. Neither of you pulls back to check who. You just can’t believe it took you all this time and a brush with mortality to get here.
“Dummy.” He finally finishes when the need for air outweighs your visceral need to feel his lips on yours forever. His eyes are drier now, the concern that had been etched into his face replaced with an impish grin. “Who else is gonna laugh at my crappy innuendos?”
Reaching up, you tuck a stray strand of copper hair back under the rim of his cap. Slowly, and tentatively tracing what’s exposed of his hairline, then his brows, and his cheekbones. Making a dramatic show of examining the features you’ve already had memorised for years before you deliver your answer. “I dunno. I only laugh at them cause you’re hot.”
“I knew you only liked me for my looks.” He playfully narrows his eyes, faking an offended sneer as he leans back into you for another, ardent kiss. The second of many, many more to come.
Send me a pairing/character + prompt and I’ll write you a drabble/blurb.
take all the time in the world btw, your stuff is always worth the wait
🧹 Chores
Are they the one doing most chores in the house?
Yes. He complains about it on a semi-frequent basis, but he’s just faster at getting it all done.
Which chore is the one they dread doing the most?
Mopping the floors. He can do it fast as hell, but he can’t speed up the drying process, which is such a drag. Sure, he can zoom across the wet floors without leaving a footprint, but he doesn’t always want to be moving at superspeed.
Do they wash the dishes right after a meal, or do they leave them in the sink until it's impossible to ignore them?
He leaves them all. It’ll take him all of 5 seconds to do them all anyway, might as well do it all at once instead of splitting it up into multiple nanoseconds.
Do they have the dreaded "laundry chair" where they put dirty clothes on?
Yep, and laundry is another thing he doesn’t enjoy. It's the waiting once everything is in the machine that bugs him.
Do they make their bed in the morning, or leave it undone until it's time to sleep?
He leaves it undone. He could easily make it in the blink of an eye, but it’s one of those things that he just overlooks without thinking every day. It’s only gonna be slept in again later anyway.
😴 Sleeping routine
At what time do they tend to go to sleep?
I’d average out around midnight. Yeah, Wally likes going out with friends, and being a superhero means having a wild schedule. He often doesn’t come home until the early hours of the morning, however, on his off day, when he gets the chance, he likes to decompress, watching TV and eating many, many bags of potato chips for hours before tanking between 11-12.
Do they take anything to help them sleep ( medicines, chamomilles, warm milk... )? & How much does it take for them to fall asleep?
Nah. Wally is the kind of guy that can and will fall asleep the moment his head hits the pillow.
Are they a light or a heavy sleeper?
Heavy sleeper. He is gone to the world once his lights are out.
Do they snore, talk and/or move a lot while sleeping?
Light snoring, the occasional talking if he’s really deep in a dream. Absolutely non-stop restless moving though, his legs especially. Like when dogs are chasing things in their dreams.
Do they dream often? & What kind of dreams do they tend to have?
Lots of dreams about running, and nightmares about being trapped in the speedforce. He also dreams a lot about his family, and friends, echoing lives they’ve lived in other universes.
Do they prefer to be in complete darkness to fall asleep, or are they ok with a bit of light?
He’s alright with a bit of light in the room, so long as it’s not directly on his face.
Do they need the door or the windows open, or do they prefer them closed when they go to sleep?
Wally runs hot, so he likes the windows to be cracked a little in order to let in the cool night air.
What's their usual sleeping position?
He’s a side sleeper. He often wakes up cuddled into the person beside him or a pillow if nobody is available. This does result in his partner getting kicked a fair bit in the night, however.
Where is their bed? with a side against the wall, in the middle of the room... ?
For some reason, and I can’t pin point why, but I’ve always pictured him having an elevated bed, one side and the headboard against the wall. Something like the below image cause I don’t know how to explain it properly.
🍕 Food breaks
Do they have set times for their meals, or do they eat whenever they feel like it?
Wally constantly. He’s got a high metabolism, gotta keep up energy.
Do they have a proper meals everyday, or do they tend to skip or get just a snack for lunch/dinner?
He’s like a hobbit. Breakfast, 2nd breakfast ,elevenses, lunch, etc, with snack in between.
Are they a home-cooking kind of person, or do they rather get takeout?
Why not both? No, he does prefer home-cooked foods, but that won’t stop him ordering a pizza for supper.
If they eat at work/school, do they take time to prepare even just a sandwich at home before going out?
He always has food prepared/packed lunches for whenever he’s going to be out of the house for more than a couple hours. He always gets through it too.
Do they tend to have any make-ahead meals?
Yep. His fridge and freezer are fully stocked. It’s expensive work, keeping up with his stomach, so if he can save money by batch cooking, he will.
Do they tend to have leftovers?
No. If Wally ever leaves leftovers, you’ll know that he’s been body snatched. Or at least that something is wrong.
How often do they get fast food?
At least once a day.
How often do they go to restaurants?
Restaurants are more for special occasions, maybe once a month at most.
hey there! i’ve been having Guy Gardner thoughts and didn’t know who else to go to so now i’m here ;)
i know that you’ve said you don’t think Guy has a type, and in a way i agree but i do think he naturally is drawn to people who tend to be a little weird, whether that be looks or personality wise.
Tora for example i feel would be pretty weird, like i think she would eat frozen fish sticks and her water glass would be 4/5ths ice instead of water, i think Guy likes that in a romantic partner or friend even, someone who is weird, freaky and doesn’t fit in all the time!
i could definitely see him complimenting wild colored hair, piercings, odd hairstyles or outfits too.
let me know your thoughts and what you might add on and agree/disagree with!
p.s , super proud of you for graduating! congratulations!! <3
fmh (fuck marry hug/kiss because I don’t want to kill anyone 💔) with my personal favorites!!
hal jordan, barry allen, jason todd !!
congrats on uni btw! happy to see you posting again :))
Very real, I understand completely.
Fuck -> Hal. I feel like Hal is at his bed sexually when it’s a one time thing. Like, one and done means he’s giving his all. Hate sex? one night stand? There’s a spark here that we can’t peruse long term because of reasons, so let’s just get it out of our systems? Peak.
Marry -> Barry. There are few ultimatum where I wouldn’t put Barry in the marriage slot tbh.
Hug -> Jason. He’s not a bad option for fucking or marrying but he needs a hug. And therapy.
