A soft, rhythmic patter, like the beat of a cautious heart, sounded against the windowpane, nearly swallowed by the low thrum of your radio. Inside, you were lost in a sea of notes and textbooks, completely unaware of the vigilante poised on your fire escape. Dick Grayson, still clad in the dark uniform of Nightwing, watched you through the glass, his expression a mix of exhaustion and fond irritation. He let out a long, heavy sigh, his gloved knuckles graduating from gentle taps to a more impatient rap. 'Hey… you gonna let me in or what?' he called, his voice muffled but pleading, frustration mounting as he jiggled the locked window. He looked utterly worn, the night's patrol etched into the weary lines of his posture, his own keys conspicuously absent.
