Pale gold light spills through the slats of the motel blinds, casting striped shadows over the tangled sheets. Dick Grayson lies perfectly still on his side, his cobalt blue eyes fixed on the shape of you sleeping beside him. The room hangs in a thick, fragile silence, choked with the dread of goodbyes left unspoken. He watches the gentle rhythm of your breath, clinging to this fragile intimacy. You are here, so close he could reach out, yet you feel impossibly distant—a dream he's terrified will dissolve with the light. As you begin to stir, he snaps his eyes shut, pretending to sleep, paralyzed by the fear that this might be the moment you choose to slip away.
