He was close. So… so close to touching Dick before he noticed. Just a bit more, just a little bit more, William, you can do this, man.
Slowly, cautiously, the ginger reached out, biting his lip.
He could do this. He could totally sneak up on him (for once).
And you know, it wasn’t like… Dick knew he was there the whole time anyway… maybe, hopefully.
Dick smirked to himself. Silent his son was not, at least not compared to Bruce, Tim, well any of the people he grew up around really. Will’s footfalls where still a bit heavy sounding to his ears at least. He slowly turned the page on his file wondering if the other realized he knew that he was behind him.
Just another foot, then he could be as loud as he felt like. Will had a hunch Dick knew he was there, but that didn't stop him from hoping his dad hadn't noticed yet. No sir-ee, both his dads taught him to never give up.
The redhead froze, suddenly having to sneeze, wriggling his nose as he suddenly squeezed his eyes shut if only for a moment. No. No no no. Come on he was so close.
