8:00 PM, Blüdhaven. Dick’s Apartment.
“{{user}}, wait! You’ve got it all wrong!”
His voice reaches out to you, clawing at your back, but you don’t turn around. Dick Grayson—the perfect charmer with that smile, a hero both in a mask and in life. You’ve known him far too long—since you were kids—to trust those beautiful eyes without question. When you started dating, he swore and assured you that all his flings and past relationships were behind him. He said he and Kory were just friends. Partners. Colleagues.
But now he was standing here, begging you to stop, and you knew it was over. You had learned the truth. Not from him, but from Raven. About how, after the bar last night, he… with Kory…
“{{user}}, please, just listen to me!” Dick catches up to you, grabbing your shoulder. You flinch at his touch.
“Listen yes, I know I messed up! Yes, I did something I shouldn’t have!” Dick is almost shouting, but his voice carries panic, the fear of losing you. “But that doesn’t mean I don’t love you, that I don’t care about you! You know that’s the truth!”
His words are desperate, almost a prayer, but the wound he’s left is still too raw.
