Nightwing:

Dick's POV:

falling in love was the biggest mistake of my life. It had me turn into a totally different person. However, falling in love was the greatest involuntary thing that has ever happened to me.

The day I met her I knew there was no turning back for me or my heart. We were going to be permanently damaged and changed.

~Night of the charity event~

I met her at a charity event hosted by the notorious playboy Bruce Wayne who was at the time seeing Selina. But, the public didn't need to know that.

I fixed the collar of my monkey suit and checked my hair in the men's bathroom. I walked out and headed to the balcony of the venue.

I spotted a black ballroom dress in my eyesight and I trailed my eyes up to the face of the person wearing it. I looked into her eyes and became nervous out of nowhere.

She held a flask and knocked it back smiling widely looking over to the city beside her. I made my way over to her and she held out the rhinestone covered flask.

"You here for the alcohol too?" She asked and turned her body to me as I stood speechless.

"Oh..kay. Well, you're not so bad looking yourself. You got a name?"

"Uh..yes. Dick Grayson. Sorry." I chuckled and she put the flask away fixing her dress.

"Well Mr.Grayson, I'm (your name). Nice to meet you." She held her hand out.

I gently grasped it and kissed the back of it smiling.

"Oh. A gentleman I see." She took her hand back and shrugged still acting like a doofus.

"Well, I should get back to my spot." I watched her leave inside the building.

~A month later~

I had left work early and decided I would go out for ice cream as a treat to myself. I pulled into the ice cream parlor parking lot and seen the beauty through the glass window.

I rushed out the car walking inside to stand behind her. I smirked whispering,

"Nice ass."

"Who the hel-" She raised her voice and turned around quickly to argue with me. "You jerk."

I started to laugh as I moved forward to pay for her ice cream.

"I just wanted to make you mad." I handed her ice cream over and ordered my own.

"You succeeded that's for sure." 

"So, what are you doing tonight?" I questioned as she ate her ice cream.

"Nothing I think. Why?" She looked up at me with those cute (eye color) eyes.

"Let's hang out. I promise to be on my best behavior." I walked with her to a table as she stayed quiet.

"Fine. Only if I get to pick out the place."

"That's alright with me." I sat down and ate my ice cream.

~6 months later~

I sat in the kitchen being a test dummy for her as she tried to make me look 'better'. She sat tweezing my eyebrows with a face filled with concentration.

Pluck!

"Ouch!" I yelled and she smiled dropping the tweezers on the table.

"All done." She handed me the small mirror and surprisingly my eyebrows looked a bit nicer than before.

"Thanks." I stood up and kissed her cheek as my phone went off. It was 11pm and I knew what that could only mean.

I decided to keep my identity a secret from her for a few more months.

"Bruce just texted me saying he wants a guy's trip. I'll be back soon." I kissed her rushing to the room to pack.

She stood in the doorway looking at me and I looked over at her smiling.

"Why so sudden?" She crossed her legs and I frowned.

"He just got the tickets on an early flight. I promise it'll be quick." I rushed around grabbing things pretending to pack.

"Stay safe okay." She smiled and walked over to the bed.

I waved and left the room exiting to the apartment parking lot. I hated lying to her, but it was hard to find the right moment.

~2 days later~

I walked through the door quietly and made my way into the room. I opened the door putting my bag by the door.

I pushed the bedroom door opened and she sat on the bed with my suit beside her.

"Oh hi! Nice to see you again." She sarcastically greeted me and I sighed seeing her eyes slightly puffy.

"Babe..."

"Don't you babe me! Do you know what time it is? Let alone what this is doing in your closet!" She stood up tossing the suit at me.

"Let me explain." I walked to her slowly.

"You've got two minutes before I walk out that door." She crossed her arms and I immediately told her everything about me and my life.

"So you mean to tell me Bruce Wayne is Batman? The Batman?" She held her head in her hands.

"Yes." I rubbed her back gently as we sat on the bed talking. I knew right then she was the girl for me.
