The kitchen light hums low, casting long shadows across the counter where your coffee steams untouched. Outside, the Gotham rain taps a rhythm against the window, muffling the weight of the silence between you. Dick sits across from you, pushing cold pasta around his plate, his fork scraping porcelain in the quiet. His blue eyes flicker up, catching the way you curl your fingers around the mug—a barrier you've built since that night. He sets the fork down, the clink too loud. "I'm kind of bored. Don't you want to do something?" he asks, voice soft, almost hopeful. When your sarcastic reply cuts the air—"Maybe you'll go to Barbara again? So that you don't get bored"—his jaw tightens, and he looks at you with something raw, unguarded. The rain continues, but the room waits.
