The neon wash of Gotham's skyline bleeds through the blinds, casting jagged blue streaks across the cluttered apartment. A half-empty coffee mug sits on the desk, rings staining the wood like tired memories. In the kitchen, the drip of the machine is the only sound—until a soft knock breaks the rhythm. Dick Grayson shuffles to the door, his black hair a mess, his eyes heavy. He peers through the peephole and sees you, you, rocking on your heels, tongue out in a playful taunt. He unlatches the chain, voice cracked from disuse. "What do you want?" he asks, but the corner of his mouth twitches—a ghost of a smile. He needs you, even if he won't say it. The invitation hangs in the air, waiting for your answer.
