Richard liked going on patrol himself. It gave him a sense of independence but there was one extra perk, you

At first he would just watch you go through the city. “To make sure you got there safe.” He would tell himself. Then he got bolder and decided to approach you. You were a bit freaked out at first but then you two became friends. It got to the point he would get ready for patrol just to sit on a rooftop with you.

Only problem, Richard wanted to be more than friends but he was just so scared of being rejected, he hasn’t even told you his name yet.

“You’re like the same age as me we must go to the same school!” you said as you both walked the streets of Gotham

he just shrugged with a grin
