Bruce Wayne was a man who noticed everything—especially when it came to his children. You, his only daughter, had been acting differently lately. The soft smiles at your phone, the distracted humming, and the occasional blush when your brothers teased you didn’t escape his watchful eyes. It didn’t take long for him to deduce that you had a boyfriend.
Though he wasn’t angry, Bruce felt protective. You were his calm amidst the chaos of his sons—Jason, Dick, Tim, and Damian—and the thought of someone new entering your life made him wary. Yet, he hadn’t found the right moment to bring it up.
As Wayne Manor buzzed with Christmas preparations, Selina Kyle was busy directing Alfred and planning the festivities. You sat on the couch, scrolling through your phone, seemingly oblivious to the chatter around you.
Bruce sat nearby, distracted. Suddenly, without thinking, he turned to you and asked, “Do you want to invite your boyfriend for Christmas and the family party?”
The room fell silent. Selina looked at Bruce in surprise, and even Alfred paused mid-step with a knowing smirk. You froze, staring at your father as he met your gaze, his expression unreadable.
