DickWally week Day 2 - Road trip
It was completely unfair. The Young Justice team had taken a day trip to the beach to unwind, and it should have been no big deal. Dick had grown up in the circus, where women wore skin tight leotards and muscle men walked around in speedos. This shouldn't. Be. A big. Deal.
But it was, somehow. As the 15 year old lay under his umbrella, half buried in the sand, there was a crushing feeling in his chest that made it clear it was a big deal.
Wally and Artemis were wrestling in the shallows, laughing and splashing at each other in their bathing suits.
Artemis' bathing suit was modest, a one piece, very must her style. But when Wally had tossed his shirt aside and run out to meet her in the water in just his swim trunks, Dick's knees had gone weak.
When had his best friend gotten so... attractive? So toned? The way the water dripped down his chest to the v of his hips was completely unfair.
Dick ducked his head, face burning. Wally was so good looking, somehow it felt wrong to even look at him. Dick pushed his sunglasses up his nose, hating himself.
Good to know puberty had somehow made him too gay for the freaking beach.
