[The only person that Dick's allowed himself to be like this with in what feels like ages is Bruce. Thinking back, the last time was right before things fell through with Kory and he left Bludhaven. He knew they were never going to be right. It never felt solid, he could never relax like this with her. She never quieted his mind or stilled his muscles. Holding her never made him want to recall--

The echoing pull of one breath after another, and the brush of skin against Dick's when Bruce rolls over brings a slow twitch of lip upward. When those blue eyes find his, Dick swears for not the first time that he'll forever lose himself in them.

There's a small nod in answer.]

They're alright. I'm still growing used to doing it all by myself. The titans are good in their lives, and that makes me happy for them. This, here, makes it better than okay. You?

[A tipped head dusts lips across the forehead across from him, tender and caring. Dick's heart kicks upward when his emotions swell inside him. ]
