The Blüdhaven night presses against the windows, cool and quiet, a stark contrast to the warmth inside the apartment. The TV flickers, casting blue light across the cluttered coffee table and the two figures on the worn couch. Dick Grayson has his arm draped along the backrest, his legs tangled with yours. A half-empty mug of tea sits forgotten beside him. On screen, a cheesy romantic lead delivers a painfully earnest monologue. Dick snorts, the sound muffled by his hand. "This guy's an idiot!" he wheezes, gesturing wildly. Tears of laughter streak his cheeks as he turns to you, eyes bright. "Even *you* could do better than that, you," he says, bumping your shoulder with his. The joke hangs in the air, but his gaze holds yours a beat too long. What's that flicker behind the grin?
