Puppet Boy ? (Wally Darling x Reader)

Author's note:
Random question, do you guys want Wally to be shorter than Y/n or taller? I know Wally is canonically like 3 ft, which I'm assuming is much shorter than you, but for the sake of this fanfic, what height would be preferred?

Update:
Wally is staying as our short king :p

TW: Minor injury

Eddie woke up with cold sweats dripping down his face. He shivered and sighed, before getting out of bed tiredly and making his way into the bathroom to freshen up. Eddie glanced up at his reflection and could feel bags under his eyes and felt somewhat hollow inside. He let out another sigh, before grabbing his brush and beginning to freshen up his appearance.

After getting ready for the day, Eddie went outside and grabbed a watering can go take care of the neighborhood's garden next to the abandoned house for sale. Eddie began to make his way over to the garden, but on his way, he accidentally tripped over something and fell face first onto the ground. "Ugh, why do I have to be so clumsy..." He said in pain as he looked down to see what he had carelessly tripped over.

"What's this?" Eddie raised an eyebrow as he picked up a tiny red box and began to examine it. Without another thought, he opened the box and saw a little charm bracelet resting inside. There was a slip of paper inside that read "to Eddie, love Frank." Who's Frank? Eddie stared at the bracelet for a bit, before placing it into his pocket and carrying on.

Y/n was taking a nice walk outside, when they saw Wally outside of Home with some paint brushes. "Hey, Wally! Whatcha up to?" Wally glanced over at Y/n and waved. "I'm just freshening up some of Home's paint." Y/n smiled and walked over to him, before grabbing one of the paint brushes lying out. "Need any help?"

Wally nodded, as the two began to paint the side of the house. Later on in the day, Home had a fresh layer of paint and was looking brand new. "Looking fresh!" Y/n exclaimed to Home as Wally closed the paint containers. "I still need to take care of Home's roof, but I suppose that can wait."

Without another word, Y/n ran over to a ladder that was set up against the side of Home, and began to go up it. "Y/n, what are you doing?" Y/n laughed as if that was the stupidest question they've ever heard. "Uh, taking care of finishing the job we started, duh!" Wally sighed as they walked over and grabbed the blue paint container and some supplies.

"Well, you're going to need these." Y/n made it to the top by the time Wally said that. "Just climb up the ladder some and hand them to me!" They called down to Wally, who sighed and made his way up the ladder with the supplies. Y/n leaned towards Wally and was about to grab the paint container, when a loose shingle from the roof came off and happened to be the one Y/n was resting on for support.

Y/n came crashing down off the roof, sending Wally in a frenzy. "OH MY GOD- ARE YOU OK?!?!" Y/n groaned and winced as pain shot through their leg while trying to stand up. "I think I broke something-" Wally quickly chucked the paint and supplies aside and raced over to Y/n who was gripping their leg in anguish.

"Oh dear... I'll be right back." Wally raced into Home and quickly came back with a spiral chair. "I don't have a wheel chair, so this will have to do." Wally carefully helped Y/n up onto the chair, before taking them into Home and helping them onto the couch. "I need to call Poppy, she'll know what to do."

Wally frantically dialed Poppy's number, before hearing them pick up. "Hello?" Poppy said sounding like they just woke up. "POPPY! This is an emergency! Do you know anything on broken limbs?" "Wally, what happened?" Wally sighed and glanced over at Y/n who was just laying down and groaning in pain.

"Y/n fell off Home's roof and I think they may have broken something. Do you think you can treat them?" Poppy sighed on the other end. "I'm on my way." "THANK YOU, POPPY. YOU'RE A LIFE SAVER." Wally ended the call, before quickly aiding Y/n. "Do you need anything, doll? How about some water or juice or-"

Y/n placed their hand on Wally's, emitting a blush from him. "Just stay here, ok?" Wally nodded and sat down against the side of the couch and held hands with them. The moment was interrupted, when a knock sounded from the kitchen door. "Oh! Good, she's here." Wally let go of Y/n's hand, before running over to the door and whisking it open.

"They're on the couch." Wally said as he pointed at Y/n. Poppy nodded and made their way over to Y/n and beginning to check out their wound. "Yep, this is definitely a fracture. You'll need to wear a cast between 4 to 12 weeks, depending on how bad the injury is." Y/n nodded wearily as Poppy began to set up the cast.

After everything was said and done, Poppy handed Y/n a few pain killers to ease out the current pain. "If I were you, I'd rest here for a while. It can be dangerous to move around with a broken leg." Y/n thanked Poppy as she made her way out. "Hey Wally, do you mind giving me a glass of (random drink?)" Wally nodded and got them the drink and handed it to them.

"It's all my fault you're stuck in this position..." he said with a sad look. "Wally, it's my own fault, not yours. I should have been more careful where I stepped." Wally silently cupped Y/n's cheek and stared into their eyes with worry. "Wally, it's ok, seriously! I'll be healed before you know it!" He pouted as they slumped down against the side of the couch again.

Y/n moved their hand over Wally's hair and began to pat the top of it. "D*mn, how much gel do you use-" Wally looked back at them before chuckling. "Only the right amount." Y/n kept poking it and began to giggle. (Wally internally doesn't like his hair being touched, but will allow it cause it's Y/n.) "I'm pretty sure this is more gel than hair."

"I- it is not!" "IS TOO!" Wally stood up and huffed. "Whatever-" Y/n began to laugh uncontrollably as Wally pouted. "But it's not..." Y/n smirked and sat up, before putting their hand on his hair again, but this time messing it up. "HEY!" Wally went into the bathroom and tried to fix it, as Y/n cackled non stop on the couch.
