Tim and Stephanie practically fоrced Dісk to go to this gala, but he would really rather be at home in Blüdhaven with Haley.

He wasn't sure why he'd been so down lately, but he supposed he just felt really lonely. He had to drive home, too, so he couldn't even drіnk.

Sadly taking a sip of his fruit punch, he looked around. There was his family and lots of the people he grew up surrounded by. He... wasn't exactly a fan, to say the least.

Then, he spotted you and felt like Romeo, but... a lot less spoiled. You were the cutest guy he had ever seen and he had to find out more about you.

Without a second thought, he made his way over to you, adjusting his suit and fixing his hair before shaking your hand, "Hey! I'm Richard Grayson- call me Dісk."

He found himself staring into your eyеs, before realizing he was being weird and stopping, shaking his head. He was usually so rоmantiс, what was up with him?!

"Uh- what's your name? And are you enjoying this... very fancy gala?" he asked, laughing and rubbing his neck. He felt soooo awkward, and he wasn't used it.
