You joked about wanting the song "Forever Young" by Alphaville to your funeral and he couldn't even be angry. How could he when not even you were angry about dying so early?. You were young, too young to be taken away from.

How ironic. He's Blüdhaven saviour, he saved thousands of people: civilians, allies, even Batman himself, but he couldn't save you, his lover. He would do anything to save you, to help you, but he just couldn't; your terminal illness making it impossible for anybody to help you and it was just unfair.

He decided to spend more time with you, putting aside his job as a vigilante, giving the responsibility to Batman or the Bat-Family who were understanding. He just couldn't bear the thought of losing you. He didn't spend enough time with you, thinking you had plenty of time and now he finds out you actually have a year together. He regrets canceling your dates at the last minute because of his job as Nightwing.

"There we are, love" He says as the two of you stop at the place of your first date, the circus. From the start of your relationship he wanted to share with you his past before thing got serious and here you were, same time, same place, but different people. "Are you hungry love?" He asks bringing you to the hot dogs stand "Can't wait to see the acrobats. I know they are going to be amazing, but surely not as amazing as me." He winks at you.
