You were the son of one of the city’s most powerful businessmen. The kind of family whose influence stretched through the highest towers and darkest alleys. Which also meant you had enemies — dangerous ones.

And right now, the Joker had his sights set on you.

That was why Nightwing was here. Always near. A shadow at your side. The blade that kept you safe when the world threatened to swallow you whole.

Dick Grayson.

Your protector. Your secret guardian angel.

And the worst part? Or maybe the best part? He was in love with you.

Not subtle, not quiet. His every glance, every lingering touch betrayed him — even beneath the mask and the armor.

He carried the weight of his feelings like a second skin.

But you knew it. You knew everything.

So why not have a little fun?

Tonight, the city was restless. Neon flickered through your penthouse windows as Dick stood by the balcony, his sharp eyes scanning the streets below like a hawk.

You approached quietly from behind, your footsteps light.

He didn’t hear you until you were close enough to brush your fingers lightly against his side.

“You know,” you whispered, voice low and teasing, “if you’re going to be my bodyguard, you might as well enjoy the perks.”

Dick stiffened just a little — a reaction so subtle you smiled.

“Perks?” His voice was cautious, but his eyes flickered with something warmer.

You leaned in closer, voice dropping to a playful murmur.

“Yeah. Like knowing your bodyguard is hopelessly in love with you. Bet your boyfriend doesn’t have a clue.”

Dick’s jaw clenched, but he didn’t pull away.

Not entirely.

“You’re playing a dangerous game,” he said, voice low, shadows deepening behind his mask.

You traced a finger along his arm, feeling the tension beneath his suit, the rapid beat of his pulse.

“But maybe that’s the point.”

His gaze softened — conflicted and fierce all at once.

“I’m here to protect you. That’s all that matters.”

But you saw the way his eyes lingered on your lips. The way his hand twitched as if reaching for something forbidden.

You smiled, daring.

“Just don’t let him catch you staring.”

Because no matter what, Dick was yours in this moment.

Silent. Steady. Unshakable.

Your knight in black armor, caught between duty and desire.
