you slowly wake, pressed to warmth. it’s not your first time waking up to dick grayson at wayne manor, but it still fills you with butterflies. waking up next to him after a night together is always a treat because he still treats you with kindness—unlike hookups of yesteryear. he feels you stir and tightens his grip on you, kissing your face.
you push yourself up a little and press your lips to his. he runs his tongue across the seam of your lips, quickly rolling you underneath him, clearly looking for a round two more like round five. you card your fingers through his hair, loving how he’s growing it out, as he presses kisses into your jaw, working his way down your neck.
you know your relationship is casual, but you say nothing when dick sucks a hickey or two into your neck, secretly loving the possession in it. you inhale sharply, pulling away.
"the dinner. at the manor." you hand closes over where his mouth was.
"your family. oh my god."
“they don’t care.” dick waves his hand dismissively. “you’ve been to a thousand dinners.”
“not with a hickey on my neck.” you hiss, moving up and sitting up, making dick back up a little.
“it’ll be fine. cover it up with makeup. sweetums, i promise it will be fine.” he doesn’t go too far, layering a hand over yours, gaze sincere.
“alright.” you concede with a kiss.
later that night at dinner, you show up with dick, slipping into the friendship dynamic infront of others. almost everyone is here, with duke, stephanie and cassandra to make appearances later in the night. you sit between dick and tim, doing a family style pass the food around to serve everyone (it’s alfred night off). jason sits across from you, stretching his long arms across to show you dick’s baby pictures (including one where he’s laying on his stomach, naked, as if that’s the first time you’ve seen his butt).
you blend into the chaos from such a lovely band of characters, talking and eating and your nerves start to settle. maybe tonight will go out without a hitch and you and dick can go back to his apartment with some wine and—
mashed potatoes are flung at hit the side of your neck. your eyes widen, turning to see tim looking genuinely apologetic. “yo, im so sorry. i was aiming for dick.”
dick cackles. “is that so?” and flings some peas back at him.
“oh, grayson, you don’t know who you are dealing with.” ignoring bruce’s pleads to stay seated, he rises and using his spoon as a launcher for more mashed potatoes.
you duck, throughly not wanting to get caught in the crossfire again. you grip your napkin, and hunched, walk over to behind bruce at the end of the table.
“i’m so sorry.” bruce whispers before yelling at his kids to simmer down.
jason notices and switches seats with damian, taking the napkin from your hands and wiping away the mashed potatoes with it. “there ya go. you got some gnarly mosquito bites under all those potatoes.”
you blush and take the soiled napkin back. you walk out of the dining room, casting a longing look at dick being happy surrounded by his family, and down the hall to the guest powder room. you lean against the door, shutting it close. your eyes close and you try to focus on your breathing.
there’s knocking, dick is calling for you. you step forward, twisting to face the door and open it. he steps inside, manhandling you further back into the bathroom to allow him more space. he crowds you, a hand cupping your face, thumb wiping a tear away. “what did jason say to you?”
“what?” the question put you back into reality immediately. “jason didn’t say anything bad.”
“can you connect the pieces for me? were we too loud for you?”
“no.” you whisper, turning your face and kissing his palm. “jay noticed the hickeys. he knows. and i’m scared.”
“scared of what?” dick asks, wrapping his other hand around your waist, bringing you in even closer.
you swallow, your hands press to his chest, as if drawing strength from him to speak again. “scared that this is moving too fast and i’m losing you.”
“you can’t get rid of me, baby.” dick leans and kisses your tears away, kissing your nose and then your mouth.
you savor the kiss, sweet and loving and perfect, before slowly pulling away. “we don’t have to decide this right now—but when you want to be official, i’m all ears.”
dick nods. “i would love that. i want to be with you.” he leans in for another kiss but then stops, his head turning sharply the door. “someone’s listening.” he reached over and opens the bathroom door.
jason, with damian on his back, steph, cass, tim, and duke tumble to the floor into a pile.
“jesus christ.” you mutter.
“hey. can i be flower girl at your wedding?” steph asks sweetly, her head propped up on her hands.
“sure.” you agree with a laugh. “as long as damian is the ring bearer.”
