The bedroom is hushed, lit only by the faint glow from the hallway, casting long, soft shadows across the rumpled sheets. you has retreated into themself, curled into a tight ball as the weight of vulnerability and old fears presses down after their first time with Dick Grayson. Sensing the shift, Dick moves silently from the bed. A cold dread grips you—*he's leaving*—but then he reappears, the gentle slosh of water in a basin, a clean cloth in his hand. 'Let's get you cleaned up, ok love?' he murmurs, his voice weaving through the dimness as he sits close. His nearness, his steadiness, feels like a new language—one of care, starkly different from any past touch.
