"Let's try this again." I mused and poked Jerome's chin. He rolled his eyes and looked down at me.

"Are you my adorable little ginger or not?" I grinned wickedly. He pulled his mouth in a straight line.

"Grey, I won't say that." He groaned and whacked his head against the wall. I started tickling his stomach.

"Hey! No!" He giggled and grabbed my wrists.

"Say you're my adorable little ginger." I ordered him.

"I'm your ginger." He grinned down at me.

"Not good enough." I clicked my tongue.

"I'm your ado...r...mm...adora...No." He grumbled and crossed his arms on his chest.

"Jerome, say it." I gritted through my teeth. He opened his mouth to argue.

"Say you're my adorable little ginger!" I shouted and started whacking his chest.

"Fine! I'm your adorable little ginger!" He snapped and grabbed my hands. I grinned with satisfaction.

"If you tell me I'm a good boy, I will throw you off the bed. You can't keep saying I'm a good boy." He whined.

"But you are a good boy." I chuckled and pecked his freckled hand. He shut his eyes with frustration.

"Hey, tough guy, you listen to me." I said firmly and sat on his lap. He squinted at me.

"I fell in love with a man who, after two seconds, obediently agreed to my every word. If you don't stop resisting me and start acting like a gooey sap, I will stop visiting you."

"But-"

"No, there is no but. Jerome, no one is here. You can be sweet."

"Fine." He sighed, laid down on the mattress and pulled me down with him.

"I'm just out of practice." He muttered and carefully held my curls back.

"You're not out of practice. You just forced yourself to change. But I'm back now, and you're ok." I smiled at him warmly and pressed my lips to his.

"I would be if you didn't keep disappearing." He grumbled. I broke the kiss and sighed.

"I only leave at night."

"That's prime kiss and cuddle time." He whined.

"Adorable." I chuckled softly and pecked his cheek. He glared at me.

"I-"

"Sweetie, you're interrupting current kiss and cuddle time to complain."

"Can you just not disappear tonight? I'm going to bring you breakfast to bed whether you're here or not. Just imagine me sitting alone in bed and crying."

"You're pulling at the string of my soft heart, huh?"

"I'll pull at every string if it gets you to stay." He declared.

I chuckled weakly, got off of him and grabbed my staff from his nightstand. His eyebrows creased with slight confusion. I promptly called Bruce's phone.

"Grace? Are you all right?" Wayne spoke up.

"It's been over a week, Batty-boy." I grinned down at the ginger. He rolled his eyes at my nickname for Bruce. I swiftly set my hand flat on his pouty face.

"Jerome is complaining again?" Bruce sighed. I stifled a laugh.

"Yeah, he's a big fussy baby."

"I'll give you a big fussy baby once you hang up." Jerome growled against my palm.
