town gossip

Wally Darling x Reader

Warnings: Frank getting sucked back into helping Wally with the obstacles of his relationship, haha!

although it is not necessary, I highly suggest reading my fics in their recommended order for the best experience! here is the link to all my silly lil wally fics in order. this is #9 :)

News spread quickly about you and Wally, but what actually are you?

“Would you mind throwing a Red Delicious in there too please, Howdy?” 

You stood at the till of Howdy’s place, buying a snack for yourself, figuring grabbing one for Wally for the next time you see him would be a good idea.

“Ahh, a Red Delicious, hmm?” He hummed, a grin playing at his features as you plucked the best looking apple you could spot from the crate.

“Yes, please,” you nodded, a little wary by his tone, looking back at him after examining the apple. “And what do I owe you, kind sir?” You jested, eyeing him suspiciously as he leaned over the counter, two arms resting on it as a hand supported his chin while the other two crossed before his stomach.

“How about an answer to some… town gossip, I’ve picked up on?”

Ah.

You think you saw where this is going.

He seemed to know you understood by the rosiness of your cheeks.

“... News travels fast around here, huh?” you uttered sheepishly, toying with your fingers.

“It’s true then, isn’t it?” He cackled, “You and Wally finally got together?”

You opened your mouth to speak your defense, only to pause.

Wait a minute…

Together…

Were you two actually together yet?

Howdy quirked a brow at the sudden dumbfounded expression taking over your face.

“Why, you are together, aren’tcha?” He questioned, brows furrowing as your conflicted eyes met his.

Are you?

“... that’s actually a good question,”

“Oh?” He questioned. “Ohhh..?” his head slowly bobbed up and down as a nod, beginning to grasp slightly onto the situation. “But you are both aware of each other's feelings?”

“That, I will say, we are,” you agreed. “However, I sorta never thought about giving us a proper title…” You trailed on.

“Well, I’d suggest you get on it, then! Might as well get it said instead of stuck inside your head! Say, why not take some flowers for him, hmm?” His hands folded together, a smile on his features. 

“Free, on the house!” He grabbed an arrangement of red, orange, and yellow tulips, thrusting them towards you. You nearly wheezed at the force, accepting them.

“Thank you for your business, neighbour,” He gave you a playful wink, “‘n go get ‘em, tiger!” he gave a thumbs up. Four, actually. Extra good luck!

“Thank you, Howdy,” you rolled your eyes with a laugh at his comment, heading out of the store with new questions on your mind.

How were you to go about this, now?

…

“So, little buddy,” 

Barnaby and Wally strolled along, the big blue dog gazing down at his companion.

“Hmm?” Wally hummed, meeting his eyes.

“I’ve heard a little rumour about you,” Barnaby claimed, trying to gauge Wally’s reaction. 

“Oh yeah?” Wally inquired curiously, “What would that be?”

“I heard that you and a certain someone have finally gotten together,” 

Wally began to answer, but hesitated.

“‘Gotten together’...” Wally repeated, looking a little lost. Then, he paused, head tipping to the side.

“... Little buddy?” Barnaby stopped a few steps ahead, turning towards his friend.

“Are we together now?” Wally quizzed himself, tapping his chin in thought, Barnaby’s eyes widening in realization.

“Wait, aren’tcha?”

“... I think I’d better pay Frank and Eddie a visit,” Wally decided, offering an apologetic smile to his friend. “Sorry, Barnaby,” he spun on his heel, headed toward the couple’s shared home.

“... huh.”

…

“Just when I thought I was free of this stress,” 

Frank rubbed at his forehead, Eddie chuckling behind him, patting his back.

“It’s no big deal this time,” Eddie said, “I’ve got this one under control. I already came up with an idea, actually! As long as you’re willing to spare some of the flowers from the garden,”

Wally watched the two, especially focussed on the way they interacted. The touch they shared. The same that he desired with you.

Eddie’s hand moved from Frank’s back, settling wrapped around his waist instead. Ooh, he could do that with you!

“What are you thinking?” Frank questioned, peeking at Eddie.

“Well, I reckon Wally should take ‘em on a picnic,” he said. “Take some flowers to their door and propose the idea,” he continued.

“‘Course, I’m fairly sure they’ll say yes. Treat ‘em to a nice meal out under a pretty tree, and bring it up by the end!” Eddie explained. 

Frank tapped his chin in contemplation, nodding with a hum.

“I quite like that idea. Nice and casual, I don’t believe much could go wrong,” he agreed. “What do you think about that, Wally? Do you like that plan, or would you like to give something else an attempt?”

“I think I like the sounds of that,” Wally nodded slowly, contemplating. “Yes. I think that sounds nice,” he decided, more confident now.

He had this in the bag!

frank and eddie always to the rescue, it seems! I hope you enjoyed, haha!

"Oh but if so and so gets elected then-" read 1-45 Have Lied, 46-100 Will Be No Different (I Don’t Want a Dyke for President) by Mwende Katwiwa before you spit out representational platitudes. I am SIIIIIIICK OF IT. Be brave. Imagine bigger things. Imagine a better future. If you don't, it will never come! You deserve better! The world deserves better! This is not a good world! You could elect the Messiah and it would still not be good! The system itself is rotted! Nothing can grow within it! Do people not nod along when people explain that "systemic racism" describes a state of affairs where it is possible that no individual in the system is racist, but the system itself reproduces racism? If you can understand that, never open your mouth about this nonsense again! Fight for a better world!

I really want to give a nickname to the Reader in the Poly Winters fic, but God. I am Not Good At That. at least not trying to give them a nickname this early in the story :(

but I avoid using Y/N at all costs, and I don't think it makes sense in this fic for both Ethan and Mia to use a petname from the get go.

the current (much disliked) nickname in my outline is "Junior". there was a reason for that but I forgot what it is. I hate it.

Yeah…

[zeravmeta]

very few things will ever hit as hard as the end of rvb season 11, where after 10 seasons of being perfectly fine with being shitty soldiers, they’re suddenly put into a position where a bunch of scared conscripted kids are relying on them to be heroes because they give them hope

[certifiedflowr]
