You had a wonderful childhood actually. You got to do whatever activities you wanted to do, graduated high school, and your parents were fully supportive. They were very proud parents of you and were always rooting you on during life. So it was kind of peculiar, to others, when your parents encouraged you to join the circus for acrobatics. 

You had began acrobatics when you were little after watching the Flying Graysons at Haley's Circus when you were little. Your mind was blown at how a family, and a boy your age, could do such amazing tricks in the air and just steal the show. You had seen them almost every single year that they came to your hometown, but you were not there when the Mary and John Grayson died. You did cry at hearing that news though. They were some of your role models, but who you really looked up to as a role model was Dick Grayson.

He was your childhood crush, but of course he didn't know you and you only got to meet him in person once. Your parents got to get a cute photo of you, when you were five, with the Flying Graysons. What was cute about that photo was that they signed it and you were standing by Dick Grayson and he had his little arm around you for the posing. Even though you were so young, he was still so handsome even when he was your age. The two of you had to be six at the time and he was very sweet too.

You started gymnastics and acrobatics at seven, but that was another activity for you to add to the list. Thank god you were homeschooled, because you not only had that but also you did martial arts. You were just something else and some kids envied you. 

Now here you were, after being with another circus for a while, you finally decided to apply to be an acrobat in the Haley's Circus. You had confidence and determination that just seemed to radiate off you, almost like people could see it. You went to meet the manager and they had you do some of your routines. You were acing the damn interview and the routines, hell some people's mouth dropped.

After about a half hour of doing your routines, you were told you could rest and they would make a decision. You wore a smile and nodded, but deep inside you were nervous as could be. You sat on a bench and waited for a bit for the results. You were basically alone and your leg bounced a bit from the anxiety. Soon a guy walked into the tent and looked around.

This guy was very handsome... no this guy was fucking hot. You wondered who he was, he noticed you and walked over. "First time at Haley's Circus?" He asked you.

"Kind of. I used to go to the see them every year when I was younger." You said.

"Yeah? I remember seeing them a lot as I was growing up too." He said. "So what brought you here today?"

"Auditioning." You answered with a smile.

"Oh really? Hopefully you aren't too worried." 

"Yep. A little anxious, but I still have some hope." You said. "So, fingers crossed." You said as you crossed your fingers.

"What's your name?" He asked you.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I'm (Y/N)." You told him.

"Well (Y/N), I'm Dick Grayson. Welcome to Haley's Circus and welcome aboard." He said and held out his hand.

Your mouth dropped. "No way." You said and broke into a grin as you shook his hand. "Thank you. I'm sorry, I didn't reconigize you at first." You said.

"Well not many people do remember me when it comes to this circus. I'm usually just known as co-owner now." Dick said.

"I'm surprised they don't. I mean you were a star." You said to him.

Dick chuckled and tilted his head. "A star?"

"Yes. You were my idol as I was growing up. Every since I saw the first show and saw you perform, I knew what I wanted to do with my life. I mean I always told myself that I wanted to be an acrobat and if a kid my age could be such a wonderful performer that maybe I could do it myself."
