                       BETTER POKER FACES HAVE been seen on children caught stealing from the cookie jar. At least for their offenses, they might pilfer a delicious taste or two. Diana? Well, she makes out remarkably worse; the glossy magazines spread out on the kitchen table leave her stomach churning. More so now that Bruce has found them. Bolded, red ink hurls accusations at him, excitedly declaring a mystery woman has entered his life. She doesn’t have to squint her eyes to make out her own features in the grainy photo splattered on the cover; strange how lewd it makes her feel, a private caress of theirs displayed for strangers to gawk at. ❛❛ I meant to get ride of these. ❜❜ Embarrassment infests her complexion, from the tips of her ears to way down, but it is the eyes wider than coins that announce the verdict. She’s as guilty as the skies are blue of reading a page or two. ❛❛ Lisa brought them over. She’s invested. ❜❜ Her voice says invested, but the page still open for Bruce to see–– the one displaying a lengthy timeline of all his rumored romances, along with quotes about his bedside manner–– make it clear the better description for Lisa is very, very concerned.

   “Bruuuuuuce.”

   Jason sprawls himself catlike over the back of the couch, the lilt in his voice hitting an octave up when he gets to the middle of the man’s name. He wants something and he’s pretty sure he’s gonna get it.

   “So I was thinking.”

   He’s on his back now, slinking very slowly into the cushions beside Bruce, looking up at him with the most innocent eyes he can muster.

   “Since... I should technically be getting a license soon... if I fix up the old Firebird in the garage... can I have it?” Of all the cars to be smitten with in Bruce’s garage, Jason decided on that hunk of metal. But it’s a serious query, and it might keep his hands busy long enough to keep him from getting into trouble.

The pause is almost to be expected and he tries, really, to not let his eyes study things too intently. The other man had a right to his disguise. To the mask --- pointed ears and all. It’s just hard not to be curious.

“ We’re not. ” The fact that the compliment isn’t well received isn’t a surprise; the Batman was known for functioning in shadows. By himself. It’s a lonely gig, one that doesn’t seem to have a lot of room for pleasantries. Sonny Carisi is willing to be the opposite. To say what others don’t have the chance to.  “ I can tell your heart’s in the right place, at least. ”

dick...really wishes he didn’t recognize that look on bruce’s face.  except he’s lived with bruce for most of his life, so he does, and he hates it.  hates that bruce has drifted somewhere away from him again.  but he goes about it carefully, like he always does.  slowly, carefully pulls the batarang out of bruce’s grip, just in case his dad forgets he’s holding it and closes his fingers around it by accident - it’s happened before.  sets it aside for the moment and drops to a crouch in front of bruce, casual stance despite the tense set of his shoulders.  ❝yeah, i didn’t call ahead.  hoping for the element of surprise.❞ he smiles, and everything about him says ‘this is fine’ and ‘trust me’, and he tells the stupid voice in the back of his head to shut up.  he’s got this.  ❝you busy?❞ // @vespertiilian & cont.
