[ This is the moment Wally has been bracing for since he knew they were going to have to have this talk. He would let her know how much of a mess he is, she would tell him it's too much, and he would gracefully accept it with a smile and hope he didn't screw up their friendship in the long run. It's really the only way this scenario could play out in his mind.
But, the deflating words he was expecting don't come. In their place are ones hinting at wanting something more, the same more he has been talking around because he feared that directly acknowledging it will have this whole thing crumbling into dust like everything else in his life has done. Still, he has to remind himself not to get too far ahead here. ]
Does... that mean you want to try being fucked up together?
[ He thinks that is what she's offering, and if it is, it's an offer he accepts without reservation. There's no way of knowing how things will play out from here, it will probably be a disaster if his past attempts at trying to reestablish or build a real connection with someone are any indication, but it is a risk he is absolutely sure he wants to take if she's willing.
And maybe on this strange moon, with her, it will be different. Crazier things have been known to happen.
This time when he reaches out to take her hand in his, there's no sign of the tentativeness or trepidation he displayed in his previous aborted attempt. He knows what he wants, thinks she kinda might want the same, and it feels like he's almost on solid ground for the first time in a long while. ]
Because I'd really like to give it a shot. [ He gives her hand a little squeeze. ] I might not have all the answers, but I don't have any doubts about that.
