And yet here we are. [He doesn't feel pressured. And maybe Alan and Jay were the tiniest bit dramatic about certain things but...they had good intentions. Their concerns are very fatherly. It's nice that they care as much as they do]

As much as I still think it's gonna be a pain in the ass...yeah. She's gonna have a good time. That'll be nice. [Again, he'd do absolutely anything for Dawn] So, what do we think the chances are that Jay hasn't already called Wally and told him?

How the fuck did that happen? [He knows how it happened. He’s stupidly in love with Barry. That's how]

God, don't remind me that I have to call Jack. He’s gonna talk shit. [He loves his brother, honestly. But the man is a dick] Yeah, me either. But we started this fuckery so now we're finishing it. Might as well get it out of the way.

The baby isn't even paying attention to us. And anyway, she's got Guy Gardner in her life. Which I know is my fault, before you even say anything. So I wouldn't complain about me cursing every now and then with that in mind, if I were you. [How did Guy ever become a family member? Who let that happen? (Hal. It was Hal)]

Do you need to ask? Wally. If he finds out we told anyone else before him, he'll explode. [A brief pause] Even if I think it'd be kinda funny to tell Kyle first. That'd really set him off.

Nag.

[He wouldn't have Barry any other way than exactly how he is, honestly. The mention of the last barbecue makes him laugh, hiding his face against Barry's shoulder. They do big family stuff all the time these days. Sometimes Wally and Kyle can get along just fine, sometimes they get into thoroughly stupid fights over nothing that lead to poor Connor having to try to keep the peace] Everyone remembers the last barbecue, Bar. Everyone.

Hey, kid. You want the good news or the bad news first? [There is no bad news. He just has to fuck with Wally a little bit]

[personal profile] braveandthebold 2024-09-26 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
As if we can avoid them fighting if they decide they want to.

[He gives Barry a light, playful shove when he refuses to let him mess with Wally. That's rude]

The bad news is that your uncle refuses to let me have any fun ever. [So rude] The good news is that we're getting married.

[Wally not believing that they're getting married is not surprising. They were always pretty insistent that they weren't going to do that. The universe has a sense of humor]

Joke's on you, kid. We're actually getting married. Surprise.

[personal profile] braveandthebold 2024-09-28 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
We're serious.

[Honestly, if Hal weren't involved in this situation he also wouldn't believe it]

And we're actually having a wedding. A small one. Mostly because Alan and Jay will never let it go if we don't.

We got bullied into a wedding. [It's fine. No one is upset about how things have turned out]

You're both assholes. [He nudges Barry] Don't even think about scolding me for cursing again.

[Wally's right, though. Hal's never going anywhere. Barry's stuck with him for life]

And before you even ask, Wally, we told you before Kyle.

[personal profile] braveandthebold 2024-09-30 08:06 am (UTC)(link)
Stop bullying Kyle. That's my job. [Said as if Hal doesn't baby the absolute hell out of Kyle like they all know that he does. He'll deny it until the day he dies but he absolutely treats Kyle like a baby]

And while we're at it, don't tell anybody else. We're aiming for small, here. We're not inviting half the League. You remember how Ollie and Dinah's wedding turned out, don't you?

I know. Let me dream.

[There's a good chance this is gonna spiral out of control and end up being a disaster. That's just how things go. As long as Wally keeps from getting overly excited and running his mouth, it shouldn't be too bad. To be fair, though, there's also Ollie to consider. He's also a big blabbermouth risk. Hal can only roll his eyes when Wally asks if he can tell Linda because, yes, Wally, of course you can tell your wife. Who's Linda gonna tell?]

Thanks, Wally. Talk to you later.

[Hal would love it if this whole thing could stay small and casual but he's also realistic and knows how these things tend to go]

He should be on planet. Hopefully.

[He takes the phone and calls Kyle, putting it on speaker. It takes a few more rings than the other calls had but Kyle eventually does pick up]

Hi, Hal.

Hey. Barry's here, too. You're on speaker.

Oh, you're both calling? Hi, Barry. Whatever Wally says I did, he's lying.

I have some news, like this isn't about both of us.

[The way Wally and Kyle interact doesn't make sense to Hal, either. Not any more than the way Kyle and Ollie talk to each other makes sense. But at this point, he's given up questioning any of it]

We're getting married.

[This time, there's only a very brief pause before Kyle responds. Kyle didn't know Hal when he was younger, has only ever seen him with Barry, so he isn't quite as surprised as the other people they've called so far]

Married? But I thought you guys didn't want that?

Yeah, well, turns out that it's hard to adopt someone else's kid if you're not. There's less hoops to jump through if you marry the kid's biological parent first. So.

[On the other end of the line, Kyle laughs]

Wow, Hal, that's so romantic.

Shut up, Kyle.

I bet it was. Hal Jordan and genuine emotion don't really go together, in my experience. [Honestly, one perk of being the baby is that he can make fun of Hal and get away with it. So Kyle appreciates the ammunition whenever it is given]

Don't be a dick, Kyle. It's not a good look for you. And you. [He gives Barry the lightest of shoves] I can still take that proposal back.

Everyone here knows you're not taking that proposal back, Hal. Empty threat. [Everyone who knows Hal knows how ridiculously in love he is with Barry. Now that marriage has been put on the table, it's happening]

Whose side are you on here?

There are sides? Then Barry's. Definitely.

You're a shitty little brother. Zero loyalty.

[Kyle laughs again, clearly having fun with this. Hal isn't even actually annoyed by the teasing because he knows that Kyle's just happy for them]

Seriously, though, congrats guys. Happy for you.
