Ohh, I wanna go! A song: "Angel of Mine", by Monica. (I'm a 90s baby-throwback, classic R&B is quite important to me!)
we luv a good 90s throwback, hope you like thisβ¨
dickβs twisted a curl in between his two fingers as your eyes trailed over the words of the book. your eyes stopped at the phrase, βinnocent loveβ which was halfway through the page. this made a smile spread wide across your face, and made you a brief memory of the first time you met the very person that was under you, watching and wondering what had made you dazed all of a sudden.
βwhat are you smiling so hard for baby?β dick asked from under you, leaning into your head of hair when you looked to the side, to catch sight of him beaming, showing off his pearly whites.
βdo you remember the first time we met eachother?- i mean really metΒ eachother?β you asked while fiddling with his fingers that rested in the palm of your hand.
βwell it dependsβ¦β he trailed off, βwhoβs askin?β he mocked your very first words, to him. which really brought the memories back.
β kinda 90s au esque β
βis this seat taken?β a husky voice asked politely, not wanting to seem like the other men who would come to clubs like these just to fan their beer-scented breath, to whoever was available, and make inappropriate jokes and come-ons, saw a girl with jangly hoop earrings who he coudl only assume was one of your friends, hop off the stool in front of you and onto the dance floor- minutes before he could even muster enough bravery inside of him to even talk to someone like you. someone as bold and as vibrant as your skin, and even more so when accompanied by the blue and red strobe lights of the club.
βwhoβs askin?ββ you arched your eyebrows in fake curiosity as you took another sip from the glass of expensive liquor, sporting a half-smirk that was pressed up against the glass- if only he could take the bravery he already had and βeveryone but himβ knew he had hidden deep inside of him- and replace the glass with those very lips of his.
everyone characterized him as this βcharming womanizerβ. for which only the charming part was true, and nevertheless obvious. but the other part? not so much.
he laughed nervously as he caught a glimpse of two people running straight out of the club, smiling and giggling, and holding eachothers hands in a tight grip. he wanted that badly, preferably with you more than anyone else in the world. βi uh, i want you to take a wild guessβ
βyeah itβs takenβ for a moment, dick was actually genuinely surprised by your words, even though he knew that he couldnβt possibly ever have a chance with you. but that was untilβ¦
you smiled a little, setting your glass down on the table, βby youβ and his expression was quick to transition from surprised to happy, as he hopped onto the stool only a foot in front of you.
βmy name is dick graysonβ
you giggled a bit at the fact that he had the nerve to state his name when everyone, including you, already knew him.
βyeah everyone already knows you, mr. womanizerβ you mocked. only in the voice of one of your friends that had claimed, the previous day to have known him so well.
βI- is that what theyβve been saying about me recently?β he pointed a thumb at the dance floor full of people, some that were known to gossip, and had been looking at the both of you talking to eachother as the minutes went by.
you shrugged your shoulders βwell i mean, for a while- but basicallyβ
dickβs head was still turned to the side, looking disappointingly over to the crowd of people that still decorated the dance floor, but were no longer looking at him anymore.
you smiled, as your eyes traced over his jawline, βhey look, my head is starting to hurt, mainly due to the same tired song being played over and over again, so how bout we go for a walk outside so we can talk a little bit? especially with the chatty cathyβs in the back.βΒ you nodded to another one of your friends that thought she was slick, but had her cover blown by you. but she was quick to realize that you were looking at her and so she waved at you, sporting a sweet smile.
βthat sounds like a great idea to meβ he agreed, leading the way out of the noisy club as you followed behind him, hearing some people whisper and whistle until the door closed entirely.
after getting a good distance away from the club and onto a small hill, where the music could barely he heard. dick was now telling you all about his brothers, after making jokes with you, and shamelessly trying to flirt several times, but in the smoothest,Β and cutest way he possibly could.Β
βheβs sarcastic, witty, and not even just a bit of an assβΒ
right at that moment, the door to the club swung open, and a guy with a spot of white hair stepped out and yelled,Β βlovebirds!β before cackling and making his way back inside. which only made dick sigh drop his head as he covered his face, hiding the blush behind his hands.Β which made you think that, that was his brother, jason todd.
βhe seems niceβ you commented sarcastically, and he groaned at that, head still in his hands.
you chuckled resting your head on his shoulder at once. and for an instant, you couldβve sworn you felt his body go stiff. his head was now turned towards you, as he took in all your features in that moment, everything from your hooded eyes, to your lips. but he was so enthralled by you, that he didnβt notice that you were doing the exact same with him.
he hesitated at the thought of finally being able to kiss you. and even though your lips were hardly even inches away from his, thatβs not what it seemed like to him, because to grayson, it felt like you were mere miles away.
but all worries were gone the moment you kissed him, deeply but soft, and all at the same time.
once you pulled away, his lips already missing your own, he leaned his head on yours, and you ahve your fingers with his.
you were now teasing him on how shy and reserved he was then.
βyeah, you were pretty introvertedβ
he nodded, βokay,Β but i wasnβt-β βboy, if you say shy i will smack you across the head with this bookβ you held your book high in the air with your left hand, fake threatening him.
βokay, okay iβll admit that i was a little shyβ
you raised both eyebrows at him, βonly a little?β
βalright, alotβ he agreed
βbut thatβs because you were your naturally bold and beautiful selfβ
