man vs cat || Dick Grayson x reader

—Dick and your cat hate each other. Then your cat get's stuck and Dick is the one in charge of getting him out.

!!: crack drabble. fem!reader. established relationship. drabble to get out of writers block so I can finish my long fics. Reader's cat is called Mang. Dick calls reader 'baby'. not proofread. literally written at 2am.

[dc masterlist]

“Hi, baby. What should I do if Mang gets stuck in between the big closet and the washing machine?”

“The what?”

“You know, there’s a gap between the washing machine and the big closet you have in your apartment”

“Richard, there’s no gap there.”

“Sorry, I should clarify. You know that very tiny space we can’t reach, that we didn’t even know it existed until now? Well, Mang is in there.”

You knew leaving your boyfriend in charge of taking care of your cat while you were in another country, travelling with your family, was not a good idea. 

You also knew that your cat, Mang, hated Dick. But it wasn’t an indifferent hate, it was more like “I’ll bite you and I'll disfigure your pretty face if you even dare to step inside my house” type of hate. Dick didn’t get purrs out of Mang—he got death threats in cat language, which were very loud, long and aggressive meows.

And now Mang, your beloved cat, was trapped between the wall and the washing machine, in a very tiny space the closet must have had that you didn’t know existed. He was probably not going to come out while Dick was at home, and Dick was probably not going to try and get Mang out of there, out of pure fear of the small animal.

Who would’ve thought. Nightwing—the brave vigilante—was scared of a domestic cat.

“Get him out of there!” you shouted on the other line. One thing cat owners definitely don’t like to hear while they’re away is that their cat is trapped somewhere.

“I can’t!” Dick complained. You could hear Mang’s meows through Dick’s line. That poor cat was either stressed because he couldn’t get out or he just wanted Dick outside of his house. 

“Richard Grayson. My cat is stuck and he’s stressed. I’m not there, so you will have to find a way to get him out.” 

“What if I call Damian? I’m sure he will be most eager to help” Dick suggested, while pressing his head back against the wall so he could peek through the small space Mang had entered to the unknown void.

“Richard!” 

“stop calling me by my name! And you know Damian could be of great help,” Dick insisted. Mang hissed. “Baby, I can’t get my hands in there, he’ll tear them up, I’m sure you don’t want a boyfriend without hands.”

“I would rather have a boyfriend without hands and an alive cat, than having my sweet boy die in the space between my closet and the wall.” Dick noticed how you grew progressively more stressed. 

He felt bad, he knew you had been probably enjoying the beach with your family, and suddenly he had called you to tell you that your cat was stuck and that he couldn’t get out. You were definitely not in a good mood right now.

“I’m going to call Damian.”

“No!” you shouted, “Because if he rescues Mang he’s probably going to keep him. Leave my cat for me. You get him out.”

“But, I can’t,” Dick tried to sound as sad and vulnerable as possible; maybe that way you'd feel sorry for him. 

“Richard!” You sounded like you were seconds away from getting into the next plane back to Blüdhaven.

“Fine!” He didn’t hang up, instead he left the phone on top of a table and started moving the washing machine out of place so he could easily reach the entrance to the unknown space where your cat was now in.

You could hear the meows and the hissing from Mang, as well as Dick’s curses and complaints.

“Come on dude, don’t do this to me...”

“MEOOOW”

“If you keep hissing at me I’m not giving you any treats.”

Another hiss.

“Come on, Mang, I’m trying to save you so my girl doesn’t get a heart attack, and I don’t get a sex ban.”

It took Dick twenty minutes, countless hisses and his hands and forearms covered in bites and scratches, but Mang was finally out of that little space. 

“He’s out,” he informed you, picking up the phone again.

“Now give him a treat,” you said.

“But why!? He just attacked me! He doesn’t deserve it,” Dick complained.

“Give him a treat so he doesn’t do it again, and because he has successfully got out of there,” you explained.

“I’m pretty sure that’s not how treats work, and I was the one getting him out. He only complained and bit me. He’s worse than anyone I’ve ever encountered as Nightwing.” 

One day Mang and Dick will learn how to tolerate each other.

photo dump of the last week of June 🌷 Watched Obsession yesterday. You guys know I don't usually watch horror movies in the cinema, I prefer to watch them at home, safe and cozy, but I've been hearing lot of mixed opinions about this film and I couldn't wait to finally watch it myself. I would rate it with 4 stars because it was really good and extremely disturbing. As always, you guys can find my complete review (with spoilers) in my letterboxd!! -💋

Normal People by Sally Rooney. 3 stars. I can't deny Sally Rooney is a very talented author, and the start of the book was very powerful and entertaining. However, the ending disappointed me (complete review in my Goodreads). I can't consider Normal People a bad book, it was beautifully written and didn't feel boring, but it's not one of my favorites.

Haven't had much time to read this past weeks, so I figured I could talk about a book I read a while ago, that I really enjoyed, and never posted my review here. Wuthering Heights gets five stars from me. It's impossible to sum up everything I love about this book in here, so I suggest you all to go and read my review in Goodreads. But it's darkness, and poetic story has made this book one of my ultimate favorites. P.S: I don't usually mark classics, so I just decided to post some photos I took this month.

Found the Dead Poets Society book in my local library and, since I never watched the movie and the book is short, I decided to read it. It gets 3 ½ stars. I found it quite plain and, although I think the story is moving, I'm not sure the book captured the feelings that well. Also, some of the characters were quite questionable. Either way, you guys can find my full review on Goodreads. P.S: I think I like this photo dump thing, I might keep doing it.

When did you think this was a good idea? Maybe when you saw an opportunity to prove you were right about your favourite movie. That the story changed completely by watching it rather than reading it. 

You knew Jason hadn’t liked that one star you had given to Pride and Prejudice. You saw in his goodreads that it was one of his favourite books and decided to watch the movie and give it a low rating just to piss him off. Surprisingly, it worked, because he talked to you after seeing your post. 

And now, waiting for him to arrive at your house, you kept checking the time, fixing yourself, walking around—doing anything to calm yourself down—because you had invited a handsome man to your house without thinking it through first.

Of course you had stalked his account. It hadn’t been until recently that he had started posting pictures of himself, at first all of his posts were the cover of the exact book he had read and then photos of some phrases highlighted. The man was truly a romantic. He mostly read romance novels, but his favourites were the classics. 

You couldn’t help but wonder if he had checked your account too. You posted photodumps more regularly, your account was almost your online diary, so he knew how you looked.

While you were drowned in your own thoughts, Jason had arrived at your building. It was a funny coincidence that you lived in the building right across from Jason’s, and somehow you hadn’t known about each other’s existence until you decided to appear in his comments section. 

Jason swallowed hard before knocking on your door. You opened it, with your hands shaking and your heart pounding aggressively on your chest. Jason was tall—way taller than you had imagined—and he looked like he had come straight out of Fight Club. His leather jacket, a worn black cotton t-shirt, and dark jeans were a very simple outfit—but combined with his piercing greenish-blue eyes, a fading bruise near his right eye, and a white streak on his hair? That man was breathtaking. 

From Jason’s point of view you were a sight too. He had seen your posts, he knew how you looked, but in person you had a magnetic energy that no one could ignore. The only reason for him accepting your proposal, of coming to your house to watch a film, was because he found you attractive. He saw the opportunity, took it and he didn’t regret anything.

“Hi,” he said. 

His voice woke you up from your trance. You moved to the side, letting him into your apartment. 

“I’m Jason, I thought we should introduce each other properly. You have a nice house by the way.” He looked around, scanning your living room and kitchen with detail, like he wanted to find something. “You have a lot of movie posters.”

“Ah! yes. If you ask the correct people that work in the cinema they give one to you for free,” you explained, guiding Jason to your living room.

The movie was already paused on your TV, ready to be watched. Two bowls filled with buttered popcorn sat on the tea table, one for Jason and the other one for you. Once you were settled in the sofa you pressed play.

You couldn’t deny that the first few minutes of the movie were awkward. Jason sat rigid on one end of the couch, looking attentively to the TV, paying attention to everything that happened in the movie. You, on the other hand, kept drifting your gaze from the movie to Jason, to see his reaction, to make sure he liked it. 

And when the scene of the party came, you whispered: “Now look at Knox, poor boy, he didn’t do anything wrong.”

Jason looked at you, smirked, and then turned his attention back to the film. “Well yes, but he still kissed her, and she has a boyfriend,” Jason remarked.

“He kissed her on the head,” you defended.

“Still, that’s not cool and she’s unconscious, I would’ve reacted the same way Chet did.”

And that started a friendly discussion between the two of you. You never stopped talking since then, commenting on everything about the movie, Jason criticizing it—just to see your offended expression—and you refuting everything he said, like you were the director herself. And when the movie ended, you kept talking and talking, until it was past midnight and Jason got a message from someone and told you he had to leave. 

“It’s not a three star story,” you insisted, walking Jason to the front door of your house.

“Four stars,” he rated. You opened your mouth offended.

“Four and a half,” You suggested.

“I think I’ll have to watch it again to see if you’re right,” he smirked, walking out of your apartment. “Thanks for the date, it was nice.”

“It was not…” But Jason had left before he could hear what you had said. 

It might not have been a date, but you had enjoyed Jason’s company, and something inside of you told you that you were going to see each other again, very soon.

Tough Luck!

Dick Grayson x gn!Reader

summary: The three times he tried to kiss you and the one time he finally got to kiss you.

warning: fluff

Dick was genuinely starting to think the universe hated him. Because seriously, how hard was it to kiss you?

Apparently impossible.

The first time happened in his room at Wayne Manor.

You were sitting on his bed while he rambled about something that happened during patrol, waving his hands around dramatically while you laughed at him. His hair was messy from the shower he’d taken earlier and he looked dangerously handsome in gray sweatpants and an old band shirt.

Dick had been staring at you for a solid five minutes at that point. Not even listening to himself anymore.

Just you.

The way you smiled at him as if he hung the stars for you. The way you always looked at him and smiled at him. It made his chest hurt a little.

“What?” you asked finally, catching him staring.

“Nothing.” he said immediately.

“You’re smiling at me weird.” you pushed yourself up a bit with your elbows so you could look at him a little better.

“I always smile at you weird.”

“True.” You laughed quietly and Dick swore he almost melted into the mattress. God, he liked you so much.

Before he could chicken out, he moved closer. One hand landed beside your thigh on the bed while his eyes flicked down to your lips.

You noticed immediately. Your breathing hitched a little. Dick’s heart nearly exploded.

“Can I kiss-” The bedroom door slammed open.

“Dick, have you seen my- oh.” Jason froze in the doorway. Dick closed his eyes slowly. Of course.

Of fucking course.

You looked away quickly trying not to laugh while Jason stared between the two of you with the most annoying grin imaginable.

“Oh my god!” Jason said. “Was Grayson finally about to make a move after pining for like thirty years?”

“Get out.” he throws a pillow at Jason but he quickly dodges.

“You were gonna kiss them!” Jason says loudly and points at dick. To be fair, he always had to listen Dick rumbling about how much he likes you.

“Jason.”

“You hesitated too long, ancient man.”

Dick threw another pillow directly at his head while Jason laughs and disappeared down the hallway. The mood was officially dead.

Dick flopped backward onto the bed dramatically. “I’m moving to the other side of the world.”

You were laughing too hard to comfort him properly. The second time should’ve worked. Key word: Should’ve.

Dick actually planned this one. Like he actually bought a notebook just to write his ideas down on how to kiss you and where to kiss you. Safari open next to the notebook so he could look up beautiful places to take you.

So, he took you out for dinner after patrol and the two of you ended up sitting on a rooftop overlooking Gotham with your legs hanging over the edge and Dick’s hand protectively holding you close to him by your waist so you don’t fall.

The city lights reflected in Dick’s eyes while he looked at you.

You were sitting so close your knees bumped together every few seconds, neither of you moving away.

“You know.” Dick said softly, “I think this is the longest we’ve gone without one of my siblings ruining my life.”

“You just jinxed it.” you smile at him.

“Nah.” He grinned. “Nobody knows we’re here.”

The second he leaned in, you smiled to yourself, eyes dropping to his mouth. This was the moment!!

Finally.

Then suddenly-

“OH COME ON!”

Wally appeared out of literal nowhere. Dick almost screamed. Wally blinked between the two of you before looking genuinely offended. “Were you guys about to kiss without telling me?”

Dick stared at him with betrayal in his eyes. “How did you even find us?”

“I brought fries.” Wally holds two bags of fries in his hands and lifts them in his face.

“I don’t care!” You were fully hiding your face in your hands laughing while Dick contemplated pushing his best friend off the roof.

“This is sick.” Dick muttered. “I’m cursed.”

“You kinda are.” you admitted.

The third attempt somehow went even worse. Which honestly felt impressive.

You were both in the Batcave helping Dick patch up a tear in his suit after patrol. Well. Dick was pretending to help while mostly flirting with you.

“You missed a spot.” you told him.

“I’m distracted.”

“By what?” you ask him, acting confused.

“You.” You rolled your eyes but smiled anyway.

Dick leaned against the work table, watching you carefully while you focused on fixing the suit. You looked ridiculously cute under the cave lights and Dick decided he was done waiting.

Absolutely done.

He stepped closer slowly. Your hands stilled immediately.

There it was again. That one look. That soft nervous look you got every time he got too close.

Dick lifted a hand to your face gently. “Can I please kiss you now or is the universe gonna send another speedster after me?”

You laughed quietly. “Maybe you’re just unlucky.”

“I’m Nightwing. Bad luck is kinda my brand.” You smiled up at him and Dick swore his heart did a backflip.

He leaned down slowly-

“Richard.” Dick nearly slammed his head into the table. Bruce stood at the entrance of the Batcave looking completely unaware of the psychological damage he just caused.

Dick looked seconds away from tears.

You actually turned away because you were laughing too hard.

Bruce frowned slightly. “Am I interrupting something?”

“Yes!” Dick said immediately.

“No.” you said at the same time.

Bruce looked between both of you silently before turning back around.

“I’ll come back later.”

“THANK YOU!!!” Dick groans which earns him a little laugh from you. And he could swear he just felt his heart melt away. He wants to hear your laugh more often and if he could, he would tattoo the sound of your laugh on his skin.

The cave elevator closed again.

Dick dropped his forehead onto your shoulder dramatically. “I can’t do this anymore.”

Your shoulders shook with laughter while he groaned against you.

“You know I’m trying here.”

“I know.” you reply while resting your hands on his back, comforting him.

“I’m literally suffering.” Dick places his hands on each side of your hip.

“You’re so dramatic.”

“You love me.” The words slipped out accidentally. Both of you froze. Dick lifted his head slowly, eyes wide. “Well.” Your face warmed instantly.

“Well…” you echoed quietly.

Then suddenly Dick narrowed his eyes suspiciously. “Wait. You didn’t deny it.”

“Maybe because I do.” You laughed softly. Dick genuinely forgot how to breathe for a second. And that was exactly why attempt number four HAD to work.

No siblings.

No Wally.

No Bruce.

No Alfred walking in with emotional support cookies.

Nothing.

Dick planned everything carefully.

His bedroom door? Locked. Windows? Checked twice because apparently his family climbed into rooms acting like they will die if they don’t get in there. Phone? Off. Comms? Disabled.

He even bribed Damian with twenty dollars to leave him alone for one night. Bought Tim five coffees so he wouldn’t knock on his door asking if he wanted to go and grab coffee. He hid Jason’s book in the refrigerator so he was busy searching for it. Dick trusted Duke enough to tell him about his plan and begged him to keep Steph, Cass away from his door.

“You’re insane.” you told him while laughing as he checked the hallway one final time.

“I’m cautious.” he replied softly.

“You barricaded the door.”

“Trauma changes people.” Dick shrugs off. You snorted while Dick finally turned toward you with a victorious smile.

“There.” he said proudly. “Perfect.”

“You’re adorable.”

“No, I’m determined.” He walked over slowly until he stood right in front of you.

This time there were no interruptions. No doors opening. No dramatic entrances. Just you and Dick.

Finally.

His hands settled gently on your waist while he looked at you with that stupidly soft expression he only ever wore around you.

“You know.” he murmured, “I’ve been trying to do this for like a month.”

“Your success rate is terrible.” you smile softly as you wrap your arms around his neck.

“Don’t bully me before I kiss you.”

You grinned. “Make me stop.”

Dick laughed quietly under his breath before leaning in again. This time he actually made it.

About damn time!

The kiss was soft at first, almost shy despite all his confidence. Like he’d wanted this for so long he was scared to ruin it.

But the second you kissed him back properly, Dick melted. Actually melted.

One of his hands slid up to your cheek while the other pulled you closer against him like he physically couldn’t get enough.

And oh my god… He kissed exactly how you imagined he would. Warm. Sweet. A little breathless because he was smiling into it half the time.

When you pulled away, Dick rested his forehead against yours looking ridiculously happy.

“There.” he whispered softly. He is very proud of himself. “I won.”

You laughed softly. “Against who?”

“My entire family.”

“Fair.” Dick kissed you again immediately, quicker this time because now he finally could.

“No interruptions.” he mumbled against your lips.

“Don’t jinx it!”

He gasped dramatically. “Take that back right now.”

Okay but you know what I love MOST about this.  He has never fought Shinsou using the capture weapon.  He’s never fought anyone using it.  Aizawa has never used it in training with 1A (at least that we know of or that we’ve been shown) which means he picked this up either watching Aizawa use it or right on the spot with Shinsou using it.  

Both which just…this kid…THIS KID

Battle Training episode all the way back to the first season, Izuku is inspired by Eraserhead’s moves (when Aizawa was first shown using it to wrap Bakugou up to stop him from attacking Izuku during the Fitness tests) and applies it when using his capture tape in the battle training proper. There’s also a bit of montage where Izuku mentions reading his old notes on Eraserhead.

BUT

Izuku does not only learn from heroes and his classmates, but from villains as well. During the Internship Arc, when Izuku and Aizawa are separated from the rest of the pro heroes, they were attacked by Toga.

Pictured in the above gif is the capture weapon wrapped around Toga as she proceeds to use it to her advantage. See how she grabs that part of the cloth, and by doing so she has gained control over what binds her? Fantastic move by Toga btw. It threw Aizawa off and she manages to get a stab in.

Izuku’s present and watching during this, and this was likely when he had learned how Aizawa’s capture weapon could be a double-edged sword. And as you can see with his battle against Shinsou, Izuku manages to apply that observation of his.

Izuku’s really cool 😎

Okay I’m sorry I thought I was finished with my obsessing over this fight scene but apparently not

I love Shinsou, but he’s commited a few blunders with his handling of his own support item. Look here:

See how Izuku grasps that tail end of the capture weapon? Then on the right, he’s wrapped himself up in it and pushes down to wrestle control of the cloth from Shinsou.

Now look at Shinsou in the fight scene, and notice how in his panic he forgot to hold onto his capture weapon. His arms flail around, his hands in the air…. And it shows how using it is not something that’s become second nature yet.

Btw, Izuku NEVER lets his hold on the cloth go even after he’s taken Shinsou down, ensuring that he has control of it from start to finish.

Heyyy, you know, Izuku showing off his capture weapon skills here is a very nice foreshadowing how expert-level he’d be when it comes to aerial ribbon-dancing with Blackwhip
