Batmom & Batfamily Imagines 『√』

don't cry || Dick Grayson

Not a request, I should be working on them. I just can't resist. I'm feeling angsty lately.

Warning(s): death

::

Dick shouldn't have left you alone, he shouldn't have chased that guy, he should've stayed by your side and keep you safe but no he just had to leave you.

He knelt down by your side, his hands pressing hard against the huge gash on your stomach, a desperate attempt to keep you from losing too much blood. He forced his blue eyes to look at you, he just couldn't bear it.

You were on the ground, staring back at him with a smile on your beautiful face he had loved. He knew you didn't want him to worry, that was why he tried his best not to cry, so far it worked.

God, if he hadn't been so clumsy this wouldn't have happened. He didn't know that the mob he chased had a trap installed in his office where the two of you barged in. No, he should have known. It was something normal that a leader of a mob group has at least something to protect themselves with when they were in a life-threatening situation.

"Dick?"

"Yes, baby?" He answered instantly, hand still on your wound. His hand was wet because of your blood. He could feel his heart slowly cracking, your voice was weak and raspy.

"I'm sleepy."

"No. (Y/N), please, keep your eyes open for me yeah?" Dick forced a smile to his face, leaning down and gave your bloody lips a peck. He could taste the metal instead of the familiar sweetness of your lips, it was there but so faint. "You can do it baby."

"I love you." You mumbled, eyes heavy, they were begging to be closed. You still could feel the pain, it stung but you focused on the warmth of his gloved hand.

It felt like his chest was stabbed with thousands of arrows, he would smile if it was just your usual cuddling day. On the bed, body pressed against each other's closely, he pampers your beautiful face with his small kisses as you let a string of cute little giggles and squirm happily in his arms, him telling bad puns that earned a smack to his chest or bicep, you straddling his hips with your hands holding his as you leaned down and kiss his lips.

"I love you so much too," he whispered, holding back tears that threatened to pool in his eyes. "Hang on, help is coming."

"Mmhm." You hum tiredly.

He rummaged his brain, you wouldn't last long if he didn't think of something to keep you awake. "Hey, sweetcheeks?"

"Yea?" You croaked.

"Do you remember the first time I introduced you to my family?"

You giggled, recalling the memory when you first came to the manor.

How Damian loathed you back then, telling you that you were just a distraction for Dick but warmed up, slowly, a few days later when you played with his pets.

Jason didn't care much, but he playfully flirted with you and tell you Dick's deepest darkest secret which of course earned a flying shoe to his head.

Tim was absolutely adorable, he was wary of you at first (the rest of them did but you were too oblivious to notice) he went as far as doing a background check on you where he found out you were also a vigilante, then ended up being the closest to you.

Alfred was kind as hell, the both of you spent time sipping tea and tell each other stories. He told you more things about Dick you didn't know in details, then helped him with patching up the boys. He also sometimes ranted how much of a stubborn head his family was but he loved them of course.

Bruce? You've met him on your night patrol and went into an argument for god knows what. He apologized though. He also asked you how Dick was doing and if he treated you good which made you ramble how awesome he was and Bruce was there listening to everything, responding with a curt nod or some words.

There was also that one time where you lulled Damian to sleep with your soft humming and separating Bruce and Jason when they fight.

Dick would always grin proudly as he watched those things happened, "that's my baby." He then said to whoever watching by his side and pointed at your figure.

Such a happy memory, there were lots of things you could list. You spend the entire summer with them, playing at the beach, meeting the rest of the girls, Cass, Babs, Steph, ending up wasting money at the mall and restaurant and hearing Cass and Steph arguing.

You let out a shaky sigh as Dick kept on rambling, you couldn't make out what he was saying, hearing his voice was enough though. You tried to fight the tiredness, even went as far as focusing on the pain and winced but it was no use. You were...tired.

"---and I told Wally that he can't do tha---" he stopped when he felt you didn't move, he glanced at your chest only to find it barely moving. You looked like a drop-dead gorgeous porcelain doll causing his face to lose all colors.

Dick moved his hands from your stomach to your face, "no, (Y/N) please, please stay awake for me." He then slowly cradled you in his arms, you were still warm but he knew it wouldn't last long. "God, what take them so long?" He muttered.

You felt droplets of tears falling on your face, your lidded eyes glanced up at him. "No, handsome, don't cry." Lifting your weak hand, you cupped his cheek. Smiling when you felt his strong cheekbones, "I'll be here."

The raven-haired man shook his head before he leaned into your touch, turning his head slightly to press his lips to your palm. He couldn't help but think that this felt almost like losing his parents again, dare he say this just as worse as his parents' death.

"Please stay awake."

Your life was slowly slipping away, your hand fell from his face causing him desperately grasped it in his and brought it back to his cheek.

"No, please."

You weakly ran your thumb across his cheek, wiping the tears that fell freely from his eyes, your palm was slowly getting warm by his hot tears but you couldn't bring yourself to care.

"Smile for me, bird boy."

Dick forced his quivering lips to smile, for you, just for you he'll try. He intertwined her fingers with yours, he was desperate, cursing the back up for taking so long.

You returned his smile before finally caving in and closed your eyes, your entire body went limp as your slow breathing finally stopped.

"Not again." Dick sobbed, bringing your now cold body into his warm one, he clung to you. Hoping that this was just some kind of sick joke you were playing, he wouldn't care, he just wanted you back, he didn't need another person he loved dearly gone forever.

He didn't know what to feel nor what to do except crying his eyes out as he heard his family finally came. Why now? Why didn't they come sooner when you were still breathing?

"Please come back."

Ayyy, that was just, NOPE.
