It was an annoying feeling. Something was on his face. Wally realized this in his half asleep half awake stupor, so it took him a moment to process this fact.
Wait - he had fallen asleep first in Dick's room, and something was on his face
This jolted him awake like a rush of electricity, and he swatted at whatever the object was; tarantula? Shaving cream? Teletubby?! He should have known better than to be the first one to fall asleep while The Master of the Aster (Master of Disaster, in Wally's opinion) was present...heck his hair could be a green mohawk right now.
Hang on, something was duct taped to his forehead...seriously? What, probably a sign that said 'Kiss Me I'm Irish'? Wouldn't be the first time.
With a grimace, he ripped it off quickly as one does with a bandaid. It was a...list. Wow, a long list. Was he really expected to read all of that?
Rubbing his forehead with one hand, he took in his surroundings. Dick was on his side of the bed, curled up under the covers with only his dark, messy hair visible at the top. The alarm clock said it was 10:31 am. No wonder it was so bright.
It was too early for this.
Looking at the list again, he rubbed at his eyes then began reading Dick's small, neat scrawl:
...

And Stay out of my stuff.
...
Wally stared at the list for at least a solid minute after reading it. He then gave his sleeping friend a long look, and thought hard about his choice of best friend.
Eh, pretty darn good choice.
Half an hour later when Dick woke up with a tired groan, he glanced across the room at Wally with squinty, sleepy eyes.
"You have a lot of glitter," Wally commented in a bored tone. He looked up from the box of stuff he was rummaging through.
"Dude, get out of my stuff!" Dick exclaimed in a scratchy voice, throwing a pillow at him.
"Why did you stay up till 4:30?"
"Why are you going through my stuff?"
"Why do you have so much glitter?"
"Why does it even matter?"
"...Is there really a dead body in your closet?"
