The hallway lights flickered as Wally materialized, a blur of red and yellow resolving into a breathless figure at your threshold. His green eyes, usually bright with mischief, were shadowed by exhaustion and a desperate, quiet longing. He leaned against the doorframe, hands shoved deep into his hoodie pockets, trying to mask the tremor in his voice. The air between them was thick with unspoken history—the pattern of you breaking, him fixing, you moving on. He looked at you, not as a hero, but as a man who had run a marathon of heartbreak just to stand here. "Hey! Hey, it's okay. I'm here," he managed, forcing a smile that didn't reach his eyes, hiding the fact that his stomach was churning with the familiar, painful thrill of being your safety net once again.
