loverboy!jason who has an attitude all day until he sees your face, then immediately dissolves into soft smiles and gentle hands.
loverboy!jason who you affectionately call ‘puppy’ because he’s like a big cuddly dog. it makes him melt every time. he’ll deny it out loud, but he knows it’s true.
loverboy!jason who uses his mercenary money to pay for anything you want. even if you protest, he’ll give you a stern look and open his wallet anyway.
“baby, my money’s not worth anything,” he assures you as he hands the cashier a couple bills. “yours is. keep it, you hear me? sock it away for a rainy day. you can blow my money all you want, sweetheart — it doesn’t bother me.”
loverboy!jason who gets genuinely giddy when you kiss him out of nowhere.
loverboy!jason who has anxieties about how long this will last. you’ve long since quelled his doubts about whether you should be with someone like him, but his fear of abandonment still comes back to bite. it’s always soothed by a good cuddle session though and a few sweet kisses.
loverboy!jason who gets gently upset with you if you don’t take care of yourself, especially once he’s started taking care of himself too.
“you have a headache?” he sighs through the phone whilst fidgeting with a socket wrench. you’d called when he was in the middle of working on his bike and blasting the clash in his garage. “have you had any water today? a cup? y’need more than that, baby, we talked about this. i bought you that water bottle for a reason. have you eaten? what about those snacks i got you? baby, you’re killing me here. fill up your water bottle and grab a snack, then go for a walk. wear a sweater. i know— yes, i love you, too. bye, baby.”
loverboy!jason who loves flopping down on top of you on your bed after coming back from patrol. his hands find the dip of your waist, his face the crook of your neck. your scent, warmth, the softness of your skin lulls him to sleep in just a couple minutes.
loverboy!jason who thinks you’re the best thing that’s ever happened to him and loves you accordingly.
might expand on a couple of these later but no promises ..
At first Bruce was relieved, seeing his son do normal teenager things like ignore everyone around him with his face in his phone was a good bit of normalcy in both their lives.
The novelty ran it's course pretty quickly.
Tim started giving him confused glances during meetings when Damian would have his head down, phone under the table, clearly only half listening.
During dinner, every time his phone would vibrate, he'd slip it under the table and type a reply before going back to eating. In the car, at gala's, even during training.
He thought it was just Jon at first or perhaps correspondences with the titans team but the way Damian would lock his screen the second anyone got into viewing distance of it made him rethink that theory.
He managed to hold himself off from snooping until he had evidence that his son's new habit was actually negatively affecting him. Like, for example, catching him hunched over on some random apartment roof, typing away when he should've been patrolling.
Figuring he had a right to snooping now, Bruce crept behind him like a shadow, finally getting a good look at what the hell had his son so distracted.
"Cute."
Damian fumbles with his phone and tries to throw a kick behind him but Bruce catches it. He meets his father's cowl and Bruce catches the split second of genuine fear on his son's face. Bruce must've let his amusement show because Damian's scowl returns in full force, he stands up on the ledge, towering over his father.
"That was an invasion of privacy-"
"World's sexiest girlfriend?"
Damian's shoulders tense all the way up to his red ears, completely forgetting the accusations he was throwing to instead defend his honour.
"She put that stupid name as her contact! You really think I-"
"You didn't change it?"
"...It's none of your business!"
Bruce crosses his arms, he's a father of four sons, he's dealt with this kind of thing before but he never actually thought he'd have to with Damian. A strange fatherly pride swells in his chest.
"It is when you do it on the job. If I catch you slacking again, I'll have to tell your girlfriend you're grounded. Don't make me do that."
Bruce tries his best to sound like a tired parent, like he isn't completely amused by this situation. As his youngest angrily grapples away, he can barely hide the delight in his voice when he says,
hey!! can you do headcanons of how the mbav boys would act if reader ask them if she can do their makeup just for fun? thankss
"you're the one i need"

benny:

uhm kissing him and then asking doesn't work.
you guys are cuddling on the couch, watching one of his nerd shows. you look up at him and then you press multiple quick pecks on his lips. while he was all 'eeeeee!!!' is when you ask.
"heyyy...." you whisper, "can i do your makeup, my love?"
he'z zoned out but he zones back in immediately, "no."
you groan, "why not?!"
he doesn't answer, he simply puts his hand over your mouth.
he looks 0/10
BOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
rory:
he will do anything for you. anything.
he shrugs and says yes.
"yeah, sure, why not?"
you have to squeal

summary: when Damian Wayne gets in trouble in your class, once again, you call in his father who just so happens to be the handsome billionaire playboy Bruce Wayne
warnings: grumpy Damian (which none of us are surprised about), mentions about panties and cleavage, intimate touching, overprotective Bruce 😝
next ->
You'd be lying if you didn't admit that Damain Wayne was a problem child.
Of course, you had plenty of proof that aided that conclusion: the fact that he was involved in almost every fight that took place at Wayne Academy, his lack of effort in class despite knowing he was smart, his grumpy attitude throughout all hours of the day, etc. He was a troublemaker at his very core.
And yet you couldn't feel any anger towards him as he sat directly in front of you, scowling while sporting a fresh bruise on his cheekbone. He was just too...adorable.
"What triggered you this time?" you inquired, finishing grading the papers in front of you. You were currently waiting for his guardian to show up—who just so happened to be the Bruce Wayne who owned this school and half of Gotham with it—and decided to try and weedle the full story out of Damian.
"Jaxton Dent is a prick," was Damian's mumbled reply.
"I'd expect that kind of language from Jaxton, but never you." Lie. You definitely expected it from both boys but you figured if you gave Damian some credit then he would warm up some.
"Then you haven't met my father and brothers."
Half of that was the truth.
You straightened the assignments and organized them to the side of your desk and looked at him straight. "Damian," you sighed, "why did you initiate the fight this time?"
Damian never shied from direct eye contact—as you'd come to learn—his impossibly perceptive green eyes meeting yours. "He had it coming. That's all I'm going to say."
The boy was so much like his father. Too proud to admit his wrongdoings and too smart to admit anything without a lawyer present. Or, in this case, his father.
You spent the remaining ten minutes giving him a times tables sheet to fill out. If he was going to keep you after hours and refuse to cooperate, he would do some schoolwork. Heaven knew he needed it with all the assignments he hadn't completed while in class.
As always, Bruce Wayne entered your room as if owned it. Which technically he did. "What did my dear son do this time?"
Damian glared at the suit-clad businessman who he looked uncannily like. It seemed no one was spared from his wrath. You stood and held out your hand for Bruce who shook it with his own large hand, completely enveloping yours, and invited him to take a seat.
You didn't notice how his large frame swallowed the chair he took nor did you notice the slow appraisal of his blue eyes on you as you settled in. No. Definitely didn't notice it at all.
"Well?" he inquired again, and irrelevantly, you thought. You both knew why he was here. It wasn't the first time you discussed Damian's track record for violence.
You leaned forward, arms on your desk, and noticed Mr. Wayne's eyes drop to the exposed skin of your cleavage at the action. You bit your lip to keep from smiling and continued to the matter at hand. "Damian got into another scuffle with Jaxton Dent."
Mr. Wayne threw a tired look at his son who sat defensively, arms crossed over his chest and mouth set in scowl. "We talked about this Damian. Your brothers talked to you about this. Hell, even Alfred talked to you about this. You have got to leave the kid alone."
"He was being an asshole!" Came the retort.
"Language." You and Mr. Wayne scolded simultaneously to which Damian scoffed at.
"What," Mr. Wayne rubbed the bridge of his straight nose with his thumb and forefinger. "did he do to upset you this time?"
"He..." Damian mumbled the rest incoherently.
"Speak up," Mr. Wayne insisted.
"He..."
You sighed, exasperated. You had a very important date tonight that you were looking forward to and this impromptu meeting was interfering with your prepping time. "I don't have time for this Damian, just-"
"He told the class he knew what color panties you had on!" Damian exploded, eyes burning into you.
Dumbfounded, you blinked. The room had gone silent enough you could hear the ticking clock and the hum of the a/c unit. What?
Mr. Wayne sat tense in his own chair, eyes burning furiously. His broad shoulders were so tight you wondered how they hadn't torn the sleeves of his suit. He clenched his hands tight enough around the chair arms that they groaned under the intense pressure. You had to tear your eyes from the bobbing of his Adams Apple to regain your bearings. That was not what you expected Damian to say.
"Yeah," Damian mocked, obviously annoyed at the both of you. "Jaxton was making sexual jokes about my teacher and I decked him. Aren't you always telling me to stand up for women, father? Especially the only teacher who gives a shit about me?"
Oh brother. Damian had defended your honor and you had gotten him in trouble instead of the actual perpetrator. You felt absolutely horrible.
Mr. Wayne spoke up before you though, his voice softer than you'd anticipated. A heavy hand landed on his son's shoulder in a show of what you assumed was affection. "I'm proud of you Damian. I am. He should never..." he took a deep breath, "He should never have said anything like that about your teacher or anybody else."
"I appreciate your sticking up for me." You added. "But you could have come and told me instead or told him to knock it off. There are better way to diffuse a situation than resorting to violence."
"What did you do to him exactly?" Mr. Wayne pressed, curious.
Damian, who looked more relaxed after his admission, smirked softly. "Uppercut his jaw.'
You could have sworn you saw a gleam of pride in Mr. Wayne's eyes. "Knock him flat on his ass?"
You gaped. "Mr. Wayne."
He only chuckled. "I apologize for my language but you know how much of a bas- a jerk this young Mr. Dent can be. Just like his old man."
It was difficult to argue with that. You had met Jaxton's parents more than once and came away with the impression of arrogance and snobbery. You could only imagine what Harvey Dent was like in a political setting.
You stood as well as both father and son. "Well then, I think this little get-together is adjourned. Damian, if you have a problem with anyone, please, come to me. And Mr. Wayne, please encourage healthier and safer outlets. I'm getting tired of the blood on my carpets."
"Go wait out in the car," Mr. Wayne encourage Damian who grumbled a thank you and scurried out of the classroom. When it was only you two, Mr. Wayne motioned you closer. As soon as you rounded the desk, he had his hands on your waist, thumbs pressing into your rib cage, right below your breasts. "I missed you," he nuzzled his nose into the soft spot of your throat.
You curled your fingers into the thick raven hair at the nape of his neck. "I'm now beginning to believe you've been orchestrating Damian to get in trouble just so you can see me."
You felt Bruce's lips curve into a smile. "Now why would I do that?"
Ever since you began dating, six months ago, you hadn't gone a day without seeing one another. Whether it be under the cloak of night when Bruce would invite you out to rendezvous, a planned date, or these parent-teacher meetings, you had never spent a day apart.
"While I am sorry that Damian's been getting physical, I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm damn proud of him for punching that asshole."
Like father like son.
"They're fifteen year old boys, Bruce. Shouldn't it be above you to call them names?"
"When they're making fun of their teacher's panties, they're old enough to be slandered. Besides," he pulled back and held your gaze, "only I'm allowed to know what color nickers you have on."
You rolled your eyes but kept close. Big, overprotective brute.
Bruce pressed closer to you, urging you to perch on the edge of the mahogany desk. He then stepped between your legs, uncaring that the move had your pencil skirt slide up your thighs. Fortunately, it was the end of the day and there were only a few staff lingering.
"What are you wearing for dinner tonight?" he sucked on your exposed collarbone.
You threw your head back in pleasure, hands travelling down to explore the sinuous planes of his muscles back. Damn did he look good in white dress shirts. "A-a little black number."
"And what color panties will you have on then?"
You pinched the small amount of fat you could find of his skin to which he only chuckled at. "Who says I'm going to be wearing any undergarments?"
He groaned, filling you with delight.
"He's a good kid, Bruce." You said out of the blue.
Bruce nodded his agreement, paternal fondness coloring his features. "He wasn't lying either when he said you're the only teacher he feels cares for him. He talks about you so much at home that the boys have been teasing him about a crush."
You laughed. "When are we going to tell them Bruce?"
You were referring to his boys, of course. Alfred had found out long ago about your relationship despite your attempt at hiding it. The butler was unsurprised but kept his mouth shut, heaven bless him. And honestly, you figured it would only be a matter of time when the Wayne boys would find out but they'd yet to discover it.
It was nice having this to yourself though. Bruce insisted that he would let the whole world know at your agreement, not embarrassed to be known dating some common teacher who just so happened to be working at the school he'd funded. Which wasn't why you were with him. At all.
To be honest, you'd thought nothing of him at first. He was just another rich guy who had the world in his hands. It wasn't until he'd asked you out after an SEP's and you found yourself truly enjoying his company. Besides his obvious handsome looks and awing intelligence, you found yourself attracted to his dry humor and subtle kindness. His wicked mouth was only an added bonus.
"Whenever you want, my love." He pressed his lips to yours briefly. "Although I'm only surprised-"
"I knew it!"
You both looked to the now open door of your classroom to where Damian stood, pointing an accusing finger in your direction. He glared at you both as if you'd just caused the greatest infraction known to man.
"-Damian hasn't figured it out." Bruce finished with a heavy sigh.
Oops.
author's note: i thought about this one aaaaaall day long while i was supposed to be working lol so i really hope y'all enjoy 😍
you notice it while you’re sitting on the couch together, your legs tucked under you and his stretched out across the coffee table.
the hair tie.
your hair tie.
it’s looped twice around dick’s wrist, snug against the faint white lines from old escrima grips. pink. a little stretched out. unmistakably yours.
you squint at it. then at him.
“why are you wearing my hair tie?”
he doesn’t even look up from whatever he’s fiddling with. just hums, absentminded, like this is the least strange thing in the world.
“am i?”
you grab his wrist gently and lift it. “dick. that’s mine.”
now he looks at you. really looks. that stupidly fond smile sneaks onto his face before he can stop it.
“yeah,” he says, like it explains everything.
“…okay,” you say slowly. “can i have it back?”
he pulls his wrist out of your hand with exaggerated care, tucking it closer to his chest. defensive. dramatic.
“no.”
you blink. “no?”
“nope.”
you stare at him. “why?”
he shrugs, too casual, eyes flicking away for half a second. “you always lose them.”
“that is not true.”
“last week,” he says immediately, “you left one in the batmobile, one in the shower, and one on the kitchen counter.”
you open your mouth, then close it. “…okay but that doesn’t mean you get to keep it.”
he grins wider. “it kind of does.”
you reach for his wrist again, and he dodges easily, laughing as he leans back against the couch.
“dick.”
“it’s practical,” he insists. “what if you need one later? boom. i’m prepared.”
“you are literally hoarding my hair accessories.”
“i’m safeguarding them,” he corrects. “important difference.”
you huff and cross your arms. “you could at least admit you just like wearing it.”
that makes him pause.
his smile softens, just a little. “maybe.”
your expression melts despite yourself.
“…why?” you ask, quieter now.
he rubs his thumb over the hair tie without thinking about it. “i don’t know. reminds me of you. feels like i’ve got you with me, even when you’re not around.”
your chest does that annoying warm thing.
you sigh, defeated. “you’re impossible.”
he leans in and presses a quick kiss to your temple. “and yet,” he says, “still your boyfriend.”
you shake your head, smiling. “fine. you can keep it.”
his eyes light up. “really?”
“but if i need it,” you warn, “i’m taking it back.”
he nods solemnly. “deal.”
then, after a beat, he adds, “i might need a backup though.”
you groan. “dick.”
he just laughs, wrist still proudly decorated with your hair tie.
hey!! can you do headcanons of how the mbav boys would act if reader ask them if she can do their makeup just for fun? thankss

sum! (HC) how the boys would react seeing their s/o in a star wars shirt

ETHAN:

bf!jason who's super big on forehead kisses. they're easy access and a great non sexual way to show you he cares.
you who always mysteriously end up in bed by night even when you fall asleep on the couch.
bf!jason who gets mad when you bring it up but is always touching you in some way, especially if he's jealous. on the couch? his knee's bumping yours. at a restaurant and someone looks your way? his hand's gripping your thigh. walking and he thinks someone stared at you too long? hand on your ass. yeah... it's a little overkill but you love it.
bf!jason who despite his rough exterior is soft with you. he always walks you on the inside of the sidewalk, puts a hand on your lower back in public, guides you through crowds—you get it.
bf!jason who's not without his more... suggestive, quirks. he loves pinning you to the couch or bed just to kiss you. he loves biting your lip during kisses and pretending he didn't.
ᝰ.ᐟ can’t stop thinking about it being your first winter in gotham and jason cannot handle how underprepared you are. i’m talking, jason who can’t shut up about how you’ve gravely misinterpreted what winter in gotham is. for example, the coat you wear the first snow…is barely a coat. light, breezy, barely insulated. mostly cute rather than practical, and when jason lays eyes on it, he’s running his stupid mouth a mile a minute.
“fuck no. what in the absolute hell are you wearing, babe?” jason barks the minute you step outside. his hands have found their way out of his thick puffer coat’s pockets, snowflakes catching and melting on his black gloves as points to your attire.
you shrug, eyes already teary from the chill, “a coat? i wore it all the time back home.” you grab jason’s arm, pulling yourself into his warmth, “c’mon, i wanna get food before gotham decides to get colder. duke said freeze went berserk last year, i’m not jinxing it.
jason rolls his eyes at you, your sorry excuse for a coat, and the mention of mr. freeze, “we can get food after you come back out here in something built for the weather.”
you go to argue, but jason cuts you off with a tsk and an expression you would go as far to call snooty, “seriously. what the fuck were you thinking? we’ve already got five inches of snow and single digit temps through the night…and you come out here wearing a fuckin’ raincoat.”
“it’s not a raincoat, you ass!” by this point your fighting not to shiver in front of him. damn this gotham cold, and damn your gothamite boyfriend. it’s not your fault you underestimated how bad this shitty city’s winter could be.
jason looks at you for a long second. really looks. the way your shoulders are creeping up toward your ears, the way your nose is already running, the way you’re trying to pretend you’re not thirty seconds from becoming a human popsicle. his jaw tightens, “you’re literally vibrating.” he says flatly.
“i am not!” you immediately shiver. like, full body. teeth chattering and all.
he just stares at you. “fuck. i cannot believe you.” he’s glaring down at you, no hatred in it, just actual, jason todd, disappointment.
“you’re my girl, i can’t have you frozen in this city in the name of soup and hot chocolate.” and with that, he’s shrugging off that black puffer of his, exposing the obvious extra layers underneath it. you’re embarrassed he’s actually dressed for the weather. gloves, beanie, hoodie, thick sweater, and a thermal longsleeve. damn him to hell.
he’s shoving you into the (actual) coat before he even starts muttering, “wear this. you’re fucking crazy. actually fucking insane, babe.”
he doesn’t even wait for your permission. he just grabs your shoulders and turns you, shoves you forward a step, then swings the puffer around you.
it’s immediately too big. it swallows your frame, the hem hitting mid-thigh, the sleeves hanging past your hands.
but it’s also warm. so warm that is causes you to make a small, traitorous sound in your throat.
jason stops, slowly looks down at you, and squints.
“did you just fuckin’ purr?”
“no.” you lie.
he snorts and starts tugging the zipper up himself because of course his control freak psyche has taken the reigns. his fingers are quick and practiced even in gloves, like he’s stripping a gun instead of zipping up his girlfriend.
“unbelievable,” he mutters. “you come to gotham, walk out into a blizzard in a glorified windbreaker, and the second you’re too proud to admit defeat, you’re all, ‘oh, actually this is fine.’”
you burrow into the coat on instinct. it smells like his soap and cologne and a little like the metal of a gun, “this is really warm.”
“yeah. because it’s a real coat. that’s what they do.” he presses two fingers to your forehead like he’s checking for a fever, expression sardonic. “you got hypothermia already, baby? brain gone?”
you swat his hand. “be nice, todd. i just didn’t think it’d be that bad.”
he gives you a look. the kind that says he’s deciding whether to roast you alive, lecture you, or pick you up and carry you back inside your apartment.
he settles for the lecture, roasting hidden within.
“you’re in gotham city.” he says flatly. “winter here isn’t cute. it’s not a little chilly. gotham is actively trying to kill us all at all times. weather included, and sometimes with a guy in a cryo suit.”
“i already said duke told me about freeze—”
“yeah, and you still dressed like a—what the fuck is it called—uber outfits mannequin.”
you glare, “first of all, it’s urban outfitters. and second, i’m fine now.” you throw up your arms, puffer sleeves still covering your hands, “so can we…go? or are you going to starve me?”
“god forbid i starve you for five seconds to prevent you from becoming a human icicle.” he huffs, but holds his hand out for you to grab, “come on, let’s get food.”
you hum, both happy to win and happy he’s finally letting you live down walking out in basically a raincoat.
“i’m getting you actual winter clothes after this, you little fucking embarrassment.” he pulls you closer, guiding you through the snowy sidewalk. “walkin’ out here like it’s fifty out and not fifteen.”
he’s lucky he’s cute. and that you’re still too cold to move your arms away from the heat of your body. still, you let him be disgruntled about your poor taste in appropriate winter attire. it’s nice that he cares so much.
besides, he’ll end up paying for the, no doubt, hideous (weather-friendly) gear. might as well listen to him complain. you’ll get it right next year.
maybe.
WRITER’S NOTE
i’m snowed in, cold, and stir crazy. my laptop is away at war (being fixed) and there’s only so much stardew and cult of the lamb i can play before i go insane. so pls have this probably terrible blurb i wrote on my (new!!!) phone. if the formatting is stupid you have my permission to stone me. ik i’m barely here, but hopefully this was okay enough that you guys don’t hate me. having a full time job and doing school is not for the weak…and i am the weak :(

Dick Grayson buys you food almost every day. At first you think it’s just Dick being sweet, something small and mundane he does without thinking—like holding open doors or kissing your forehead when he walks by. But no. He really means it. It’s as if he’s convinced you simply won’t eat unless he’s the one putting something in your hands.
Some mornings it’s a croissant still warm from the bakery, sometimes a bagel you mentioned liking once in passing, always bought because he refuses to risk poisoning you with whatever disaster he’d create in a kitchen.
On days where exhaustion clings to you like a second skin, he shows up with soup—or noodles, or something soft and quiet you don’t have to think about while eating. After patrols, he brings you tea; after nightmares, milkshakes. He acts like feeding you is part of his nightly crime-fighting routine, like Gotham will fall apart if you skip a meal.
Dick Grayson asks you the most random things. Not the usual getting-to-know-you questions normal people ask when they’re trying to flirt or bond.
No.
Dick will point at a plant you’ve walked past a thousand times, a streetlight pole, a rock sitting on the edge of a rooftop, and quietly murmur, “Do you like that?”
You’ll blink at him, trying to figure out what cosmic significance this singular chunk of concrete suddenly holds, and just when he starts to retract the question—“Never mind, that was dumb”—you hum a soft, “Mhm,” because somehow you know he just wants to understand the way your mind moves through the world.
Dick Grayson likes putting his escrima sticks next to your shoes when he comes into your apartment.
It’s not something he says out loud or even acknowledges, but you see it every time—two polished blue sticks laid neatly beside your worn sneakers or your soft slippers.
It makes him feel like he belongs there, like there’s space carved out for him in a different way that the circus trailer’s or Wayne Manor were. One night he hands you a paint pen and asks you to sign one. You write your name out carefully, and you catch the way he looks at it afterward—like you autographed a piece of his ribcage.
Dick Grayson has you as his wallpaper on everything. Not in the cute, “oh, that’s my partner” way most people do it—no. Dick Grayson commits.
Your face lights up his laptop every time he opens it. Your smile greets him on his phone when he checks the time. He’s got a photo of you taped right beside the little rack where he keeps his suit, tucked between a grappling hook and a spare set of gauntlets, like you’re his own personal patron saint of not doing anything reckless. And there’s another tucked into his wallet—assuming he hasn’t lost that week’s wallet—worn at the corners because he checks it more than he should.
You’ve caught him more than once just… staring at one of the pictures. Zoned out, soft-eyed, looking like one of those big, dopey dogs that sit with their chin on their owner’s knee as if the sun rises and sets on them.
The first time you teased him about it, he tried to deny it—tried. But Dick has this problem where his blush shoots straight up to his ears and gives him away instantly.
And the truth is… he doesn’t even care if it’s embarrassing.
He likes having you everywhere. Close, constant, familiar. Something warm to look at before he goes out, something grounding when he comes back in bruised and exhausted, something soft to fall asleep next to when he’s crashed on your couch and you’re shaking him awake with that half-scolding, half-laughing voice he pretends not to adore.
Dick Grayson’s hands always twitch when he wants to touch you.
It’s ridiculous, really. It’s not like he’s a very still person in general but when he really wants to be his body does usually listen to him. This is a man who can hold perfectly still while a psychopath waves a knife an inch from his throat, who can balance on a wire thinner than your pinky without shifting so much as a breath—and yet when it comes to you, his fingers can’t stay calm.
They jump at the hem of his shirt, curl, uncurl, hover near you like they’re magnetized. The first time you touch him, really touch him—a casual brush of your knee against his under a restaurant table—he jumps so hard the silverware rattles. He tries to play it off. You try not to laugh. Neither of you succeeds.
Dick Grayson likes not talking about feelings.
That sounds bad—he knows. And Dick is working on it, truly, honestly, in the shaky, halting way only someone who grew up swallowing every emotion can. But god… he loves those quiet moments where he doesn’t have to be good with feelings, doesn’t have to name or explain anything.
He loves sitting near you—close enough that your knee brushes his, close enough that he can feel the rise and fall of your breath—and just letting his brain go blissfully blank. No acrobatic mental dodge, no defensive wall, no fortress he has to build brick-by-brick to feel safe.
Just you.
Just breathing.
And the knowledge that you won’t push, won’t pry, won’t kick down the doors he isn’t ready to open.
You’ll wait. You always wait.
And because of that—because your silence feels like permission rather than pressure—he finds himself wanting to speak more than ever.
But not yet.
For now, he’s content to exist beside you, emotions unspoken, heart unguarded, mind finally, finally quiet.
Dick Grayson hates a movie date. Genuinely, the silence and the forced stillness drive him insane — if it’s at home, fine, he can lie on you like some oversized cat and call it cinema, but this early in your relationship he’s convinced a real date means taking you somewhere out in the world. Fancy restaurants were his first attempt, and god, he tried. He wore the suit, he opened the doors, he let the waiter pronounce all the French words so he didn’t have to — and still, he could see it. The way you pushed expensive food around your plate with that polite grimace, trying to pretend you didn’t hate it.
So he scrapped that whole plan and went feral with relief the second he discovered carnival dates. The fair becomes his battleground and you’re the prize every single booth wants to steal from him. He shows off shamelessly — knocking down towers of bottles in one hit, absolutely obliterating the pull-up bar challenge, winning you every single plush in a five-mile radius. He insists your collection needs to be “properly diversified,” as if you’re running a museum of stuffed animals.
He only stops when you eventually kick him out of your own bed at 3:00am because, “Dick, you can’t sit on the plushies, they are our children,” and he stands there in the dark hallway looking personally betrayed by the rules of parenthood.
Dick Grayson loves walking you home.
Takes the long route every single time, even when it’s cold or Gotham smells like rain and old concrete, because stretching those minutes with you feels like stealing time from the universe.
If he gets to walk you home, that means you enjoyed being with him, that means there’s a next date, and Dick lets himself be embarrassingly, hopelessly giddy about it. He talks softer, laughs easier, practically skips under the streetlights with his hands stuffed in his pockets so he doesn’t accidentally reach for yours too soon.
And when you glance up at him, smiling in that small way you do, he thinks the long route is still never long enough.
