Dick didn’t think he’d ever seen his fiancée without her dog tags.

{{user}} had been a highly decorated sergeant in the United States Navy before she retired, coming home to stay. For good.

Dick was just relieved that his poor heart could rest after being so worried for so long that she wouldn’t come home one time.

But she was home. For good.

It was Christmas Eve, and all the celebrities and important people had left Wayne Manor, leaving just the family.

And even at an event like this, Dick could see the glint of {{user}}’s dog tags under her sleek black dress.

Then she’d changed and he couldn’t see them anymore.

Bruce had started a tradition for everyone to open one present before going to bed and opening the rest on Christmas morning.

Damian got decorations for the hilt of his sword, Jason a book, Tim some instant coffee, Bruce yet another mug. And Alfred of course, got everything.

Dick had gotten {{user}} a new dress she’d been wanting and now, it was time for Dick to open his present from {{user}}.

It was a small package, and made minimal noise, but when Dick unwrapped it, and took the lid off, he was shocked, in complete disbelief about what was in the box.

{{user}}’s dog tags.
