The dorm room hangs in a quiet, blue-dark haze, streetlight stripes painting the floor. The door swings open with a clumsy thud, and Dick Grayson—Nightwing—staggers across the threshold. The sharp, clean scent of night air is buried under the sweet, yeasty smell of celebration beer. All his fluid grace is gone, dissolved into a heavy, affectionate clumsiness. He doesn't so much walk as collapse toward the shared bed, his arms locking around you the moment he's within reach, holding on with a drunk, stubborn tenderness. His head lolls against your shoulder, a soft, satisfied sound escaping him.
