the cave in possession of all the spares of everything a bat could need and dick returning one day just to load up on electronics and such and finding a few replicas of his nightwing suits there. a mild horror as he feels the fabric so like his own in his hands. trying it on, too identical to his own, nothing altered in any noticeable way except perhaps extra padding in the knees and hands, taking it off and folding it back up. bruce entering the cave, seeing dick there, and dick just has to say something and he says "it's too big. nice try though" and thinking nothing of it other than the knowledge that batman stores replicas of nightwing suits (for what? for him? for other people to wear?), and bruce still and quiet and wondering when dick lost enough weight for a costume tailored to adjust to his size to become loose on his frame
