"Have you lost it?" — Dick asks you as if he wasn’t the one who had been almost staring at you on the subway for the last few minutes, standing here in the underground metro where there is a lot of noise and many other busy people. He had no reason to stare at you so much, you are just a peaceful civilian and he is Nightwing.
A superhero and defender of his city. It is not unusual for him to feel sympathy for the cute face that he sees almost every day. Flirting with others is common, but when feelings escalate and the fire is ignited within, it goes to another step, causing Dick to return to his school days.
He wanted to swear to himself that he had been watching you for several months only because you “accidentally” always find yourself on the same subway every morning and in the same carriage sitting opposite him.
Holding your book in his hands, he feels stupid, not because of you or because he is so casually trying to talk to you, to get your attention, but simply because he wasted all these months. He could have made a move long ago to make you aware of his existence as Dick Grayson, and not as a hero in the Nightwing costume. But he wasn’t sure that you would be interested in his personality, and not his alter ego.
And now, like a true gentleman, he is trying to give you a helping hand, wanting to give you your book, you were too innocent in his blue eyes, you always sit in silence and read, it’s cute and attractive.
But what’s even better is the way he sees your confusion, maybe some confusion, he likes to see these emotions of yours, Dick thinks that you look more like a lost little animal. And that doesn't have to be bad.
