You were his, he couldn't stop thinking about it and he was so happy he could burst but he managed to keep his cool but of course he was still more affectionate, he was glad he didn't have to be paranoid around you anymore.

So as he looked at you warmly, with so much love in his eyes he couldn't help but reminisce about the time you had agreed for him to take you out.

It was a great day that time, and it might've been the catalyst for him to own up and confess to you

"Do you want to go out-like see a movie-just us y'know like a-"

"Yeah sure-that'd be nice Dick"

He had paused as you answered he didn't even finish it and you agrees to date! It was great and the date was amazing he couldn't be anymore happier

So now back to the present, he approached you hugging your waist as he gently kissed your neck, you had stiffened up but you were probably just surprised since he didn't kiss you or hug you this closely yet but he was willing to take the first step.

"Hi baby"

He spoke softly, burying his head at the side of her neck, he wasn't overly showy with affections but he felt way too happy today to not show you

"Dick?-"

You turned around a flustered yet confused expression on your face as you avoided eye contact mouth open in an o, he smiled softly you looked like a little fish so cute..and pretty he swears he's never felt so mushy before in his life.

"Um..why-did you call me baby?"

you spoke softly trying to ignore the kiss, you were so shy sometimes but that's what drew him to you-well one of the things that drew him to you.

"I know i'm not overly affectionate but I want-to call you things like baby-..because we're dating and I love-"

"What-?"

You had this look on your face as if you'd seen a ghost, and he wonders if he said something wrong, he was about to speak but you had spoken.

"We're-we're what?-Dating?"

He was still smiling like a lovesick idiot but he'd sacrifice his withdrawn image for you.

"We're not dating?"

maybe he heard you wrong, but the look on your face..was enough

"What..?"
