Rain taps a steady rhythm against the window of the dim apartment, the electric glow of Bludhaven painting shadows across the room. Dick Grayson perches on the edge of the worn couch, his athletic frame coiled tight, dark eyes locked on you. The air between you is dense with two decades of shared life and every glance, every touch, left unacknowledged. He shifts, the leather creaking, and the quiet stretches until it snaps. His voice, when it comes, is frayed and tender, stripped of all its usual bravado. "I'm Nightwing..." The admission hangs there, a fragile, desperate thing—a secret offered up to hide the far more terrifying one still lodged in his heart.
