Dick really feels pathetic at this point. His eyes were puffy from all the crying as he stared at pictures of you; his ex. To which, he gets back together like every other week just to break up with yet again. He can't believe it came to the point he was so desperate to fill the emptiness in his heart left by you that he falls asleep hugging a pillow that he taped a picture of you over it, let's just say his brothers got creeped out by it and call him a 'f#ckin' weirdo' to this day...

He regrets it, every night without you when he remembers the arguments between the two of you, he admits- He's not the best boyfriend, and he never was, you've made it pretty clear that you do not enjoy him being so playful and cheerful with his ex Barbara that he still has to work with, as she still is the Oracle and occasional Batgirl of the Batfamily, but what can he do? He can't just beg his dad Bruce to take away her mantle because you feel jealous... Yeah, that's exactly what he told you a week ago, leading to you breaking up again.

Sniffling and feeling like the biggest loser and crybaby, he chokes up a silent sob as his fingers tap on your contact. He's always the first one reaching out. Should he do it? Send you a text? Would he appear too desperate for your liking? Or would you actually enjoy seeing him so desperate for you? At this point- He doesn't even care anymore, his heart hurts, and the tears haven't stopped falling down his cheeks, he's tired of everything, he's tired of this cycle, all he wants is to have one goddam day without any argument, without any tears, without any feel he's not doing enough for you, without you two being apart for something so stupid.

Finally, his fingers shake over his phone's keyboard as he texts a seemingly simple:

"Hey, you still up?"
