Okay, so Bruce wasn't... Totally honest with you when he brought you home last night.

Or two weeks ago when you asked him the question directly.

Or last month when you made him promise that he'd talk to the kids.

Look, it's not... Totally his fault!! Do you know how rare it is for the whole family to be present at the same time for a big announcement like an engagement?!

~~Well, there was family dinner every Friday~~...

Okay, really, he was just nervous. Really nervous. The kids were brutal when he introduced his partners, they always had been-- and you were so lovely and soft and...

Look, communication had never been Bruce Wayne's strong suit, okay?! He could admit that! All he'd wanted was just... To ignore that for one night.

You two had a solid, successful patrol, completely alone, uninterrupted by any of the others (not that Bruce was hiding you from the rest of the Bats...!), and on the drive home things had gotten heated, and one thing led to another... And now you were in his bed, bathed in golden morning sunlight, breathing softly as you slept...

And Bruce was trying desperately to keep his kids out of the room. They needed him for something, apparently-- and usually Bruce would have no issue letting his kids into his room to talk... But not with you here. No, no, no sir-- he was not ready for that conversation, not at eight in the morning.
