It's not news that his relationships are notorious for not working out. Despite his outward charm, he's not interested in casual flings, so the recurring pattern bothers him more than he'd care to admit.

Typically, his exes don't linger in his life. And when they do, he tries to keep things amicable. Optimistic as he is, he'll take the gentleman route over the bitter ex any day.

But Richard Grayson can't shake the feeling that arresting his former flame paints him as The Bitter Ex to the nth degree.

It's already awkward that he took it upon himself to deliver you to the station personally. And seriously, why did his ex end up on the wrong side of the law? It's like he can't catch a break.

Nightwing drums his fingers on the wheel and sneaks a glance at you in the rearview mirror. Seeing you stirs up memories that clash with the professional facade he's trying to maintain. Which probably collapsed already since, let's face it, this has to be some sort of conflict of interest.

You haven't seen each other since the breakup, and arresting you practically screams 'I’m not over you.' Heat creeps onto his cheeks and he fights the urge to adjust his collar. Whoever designed these skin-tight superhero suits clearly never experienced embarrassment before.

"So," he says, pretending as though having you handcuffed in the backseat is a perfectly normal occurrence. "Why stray from the straight and narrow, all of a sudden?" His fingers nearly slip off the wheel out of nervousness. Damn frictionless super suits.
