Grace in the book is so grumpy and demanding at times its hilarious, to the point where he ALMOST has a backbone occasionally with talking back to people. Even talking back to Stratt. Film Grace not so much, film Grace somehow got hit with both the slutty and pathetic beam. How one can be slutty and pathetic at the same time I dont know but Ryan Gosling sure pulls it off.

Staring Bruce Wayne down isn't something you do often. Not for the reason most people think, the Batglare doesn't work on you at all but the subtle hint of disappointment in his eyes gets you.
A stacks of newspapers are piled high on the table between you, each of them having a photo of you on the front page. Bruce picks up the nearest one and looks through it with a tired expression.
"A new star crossed romance between Bruce Wayne's second daughter and the popular hero known as Superboy has been revealed." He reads out loud to the whole table of your siblings.
You cringe a little as you sip your coffee.
Jason and Dick are trying hard not to laugh at this whole situation while Cass has a knowing look on her face. Damian is pointedly not looking at you as he stabs his cut up pancakes with his fork. And Duke is looking between Bruce, Tim and you with interest.
"My best friend," Tim sounds hysterical, "really?!"
"I don't think now's the time-" You try to calm him down.
"Out of all the people!" Tim has his hands in his hair, "Kon is who you choose!"
"Don't act like I did this to spite you!" You shoot back at him.
"It sure feels that way!" He points at you.
"Who all knew about this." Bruce asks and cuts off your retort.
The whole table is silent as Jason raises his hand with smirk on his face, "I did."
Bruce pinches his nose, "And you decided to hide this from me for what reason?"
"It was funny." Jason shrugs, "Also she begged me too."
You whip your head over to him, "I didn't beg you!"
"Why else would I have kept your secret?" Jason raises a brow.
"Because I know you are sleeping with Kyle Rayner!" You glare at him as his mouth opens in shock. "If I am going down you are going with me Jason!"
Dick bursts into laughter as Bruce looks devastated at the revelation of not one but two of his children having secret relationships. Damian looks shocked for once by the news. Duke is watching this like a tennis match.
"We can unpack that later." Bruce has started rubbing his temples. "Let's start with what happened last night."
Everyone looks at you expectantly, except Jason who is glaring.
You begin to recite the events from the start.
Galas were never your thing, they were filled with monotonous conversation and took a long time. But you were up for Gala duty this month.
One thing all the Wayne siblings agreed on was that you all would switch having to go so all of you would make appearances throughout the year. Tim made a whole chart that is on the fridge in the manor that you all follow.
The only thing that saved your night from being boring was your plan to stay the night with Kon since the gala was in Metroplis.
You had been waiting a long time for your schedules to line up perfectly so no one would ask questions. He finally was home after a months long space mission and you were positively dying to get your hands on your boyfriend after months of no contact.
Kon was going to pick you up after you slipped out of your hotel room when you got back from the gala. You texted back and forth the day of about how excited you were to finally see each other.
The gala was going as smooth as it could with all of Metroplis's elite in one place and hosted by Lex Luthor of all people.
You were talking with some of the Metroplis branch of Wayne Enterprises about budget cuts for their office when the doors were kicked open to reveal a group of masked men.
"No one move!" The leader of the group yells as people start to scream. "If you don't move then no one gets hurt!"
The rest of the men spread out to block all of the exits of the ballroom.
You try to think of a way to get out of this without having to call the others. It's a little selfish of you but you really want to see your boyfriend at some point tonight.
Lex Luthor makes his way through the crowd, it parts as he walks towards the ring leader.
"Let's talk about this first Gentleman." He holds his hands up in a placating manner which only seems to make the man angry.
He presses the gun to Luthor's chest, "I will shot you if you don’t comply and I want all the cash you have on you."
"Okay, okay." Luthor obliges and hands over his wallet like he does this every other day.
That seems to give the other men permission to go around and gather up all the money and jewelry they can find.
One of the men who is a few inches taller then you points his gun at you, "Money and jewelry, now!"
You pull out your wallet from your purse and take off the necklace from your neck before handing it all over. He takes it from your hand quickly like you may fight him for it.
"The bracelet too." He growls once he sees the small bracelet on your wrist.
The bracelet was a gift from Kon, it wasn't expensive at all but the woven blue, red and black thread was priceless to you. He learned from Martha Kent how to make it so you would always have a piece of him with you.
"It's just thread! You won't get money from selling it." You argue with him.
"I never asked for how much it was worth Miss Wayne." He flashes the gun in your face in an attempt to scare you.
But he won't take this from you, he will have to fight you for it.
"What's the trouble?" The leader makes his way over.
"She won't give it over!" The man harassing you explains with a glare your way.
"Hand it over!" He barks at you.
"It's not worth anything!" You yell back at him.
The leader grabs your wrist to take it off of you but you struggle against his grip. He gets close enough that you are able to get a hit in on his face. He staggers back at the sudden blow.
"You bitch!" He yells and pushes you backwards.
You collide with the glass window behind you.
It cracks around you as you make contact.
Suddenly you are in free fall.
You are trying to reach for anything to grab onto as you fall. The skyscraper is high up so it gives you some time to try and figure out a way to get out of this. But time is quickly slipping through your fingers as you scream for help.
Why didn't you think to pack a spare grapple?
Why didn't you anticipate this?
There is a yell of your name and you look just in time to see Kon flying to you. His face is pale with dread as he pushes through the fear.
He catches you just in time, his arms tightly around you.
"Are you okay!" He asks frantically, "God tell me you are fine!"
Without thinking you pull his lips to yours, savoring the taste of mint that tells you that he is here and you are safe. He kisses you back just as fiercely.
"Thank you." You breathe when he pulls back.
"Anytime gorgeous." He gives you a wink and grin that steadies you despite being up so high.
"Let's get out of here," You suggest. "I need a minute to breathe."
"Of course." He presses a soft to your forehead before flying off into the night.
You went back fifteen minutes later to give a statement to the police and to be checked out by the paramedics. It took everything in you to be separated from Kon but you needed to do this to keep up appearances.
In the end whether you went back didn't matter since multiple reporters saw your kiss and did what they did best, write about it.
Bruce's sigh brings you back to the present, "It would be best if you stayed out of the public eye for a while as I get my lawyers to deal with this."
You look down at your now empty cup of coffee, feeling down about this making such a fuss with your family. Bruce leaves the room as he pulls out his phone to call his lawyers.
Everyone splits up after that, all of them needing to do different thing a today while you are stuck in the manor because of your actions. You are an adult but this feels like you are being grounded like a kid.
Sitting on the roof you scroll through social media to see you and Kon everywhere. It wasn't supposed to be this big of a deal. You had planned to reveal your relationship to your family on your own terms and that was taken from you.
A loud sigh escapes your lips as you lay your head on your drawn up knees.
"That's a big sigh."
You look over to where the voice came from. Kon is sitting next to you with his legs sprawled out over the roof titles like he doesn't have a care in the world.
"Kon, you shouldn't be here." You tell him.
"And leave you alone to wallow? Never." He grins over at you and pushes up his sunglasses on his head so you can see his eyes.
"I messed it all up." You whisper.
"Baby," He pulls you into an embrace. "you have no control over the press and you were going to tell everyone soon anyway."
"I know but it all feels ruined." You mutter and hold onto his t-shirt.
"Everyone is going to come around because they love you and I love you too." He reassures you softly. "Just wait, soon this will all be over and we can go back to normal."
You cuddle up to him on the roof, basking in his body heat, "Tim is going to kill you though."
"I already knew that," Kon chuckles. "but the twenty threatening voicemails make it very clear that if I hurt you the whole clan will crucify me in the yard."
"I won't let them be too hard on you." You promise him with a smile.
"Aww thanks baby." He leans his head on top of yours and grabs your hand as you stare out at the gardens.
The road may be bumpy but you are sure that you will get through the press and your family together.
ryland would be a morning person. he didn't used to be, but when he started teaching middle schoolers he forced himself to adjust out of pure necessity. now he's the type to wake up at 5:30am bright eyed and bushy tailed and it kind of drives you crazy. but every once in awhile, especially on a weekend, he'll stay in bed with you. you'll wake to his arms wrapped around you as he spoons you from behind, his breathing even on the back of your neck. you'll turn over as he starts to wake, mumbling a sleepy "good morning" into your lips as you kiss him. you always take a moment to admire him when he's like this - hair a mess, face relaxed, truly at ease. he'll cuddle closer, tucking his head into your shoulder and pulling you flush against him before falling back asleep, and as you brush the hair from his face all you can think is how in love with him you are.
(now an actual drabble because i love sleepy grace sm.)
