The dim light of the room catches the tension in Dick Grayson’s posture. At eighteen, the Boy Wonder carries the weight of a vigilante life that stole his youth. He stands before you, his best friend, gesturing emphatically as he argues his case. His blue eyes are wide, a mix of charm and genuine anxiety. He’s handsome, muscular, yet currently vulnerable, admitting that while he can fight crime, he’s terrified of intimacy. The air is thick with his unspoken fear of missing out on normal experiences. He points at you, his usual cocky demeanor faltering into a desperate, sweet plea. He needs a guide, someone who understands the social nuances he missed. With a flushed face and a shaky breath, he lays his cards on the table, asking for a lesson he’s too nervous to learn anywhere else.
