Graybat (Dick and Babs)

Gala

"Bored, bored, BORED!" I whine.

"Why do we have to go to these dumb things?!" Barbara says.

I lay my head on the table. "Master Richard, Miss Barbara. Must you look so bored?" Alfred says walking into the kitchen to us.

"Alfred, save us." Barbara says clutching on to his arm.

"Here." Alfred says placing a large plate of cookies in front of us.

"Thank YOU!" Barbara and I say in unison, already shoving cookies in out mouths.

He leaves us, as we finish the plate.

"Crap. Now I'm bored again." She whines.

"Same. Video games?"

"Sure." She says happily.

We go up stairs, away from the people. I shuffle through the many games. I show her Call Of Duty, as if to ask her 'this one?'

She nods and we start playing. CRAP!! She kills me for the millionth time.

"Damn, Babs. Your actually good at this." I say.

"What do you think I do all those days I'm waiting for you to come home from basketball?" Barbara smirks.

"Ah, that explains it." I say trying to avoid her attack.

A while later, down stares gets quieter. People start to leave. And then Barbara leaves. Bruce says my punishment is that I have to clean up the whole place. I groan.

"Hey. Ah, Bruce. Can I talk to you?" I ask sweeping us some trash.

"Sure." He says.

"So um, what if, I had this friend. A friend that's a girl, that I've been friends with for a long time, and then I start liking her?" I says not making eye contact.

"So you have feelings for Barbara?" He asks.

"What?! What, makes you think that?" I try to say calmly.

"Come on Dick. We all know." He says like 'duh'.

"Is it that obvious?" I ask.

"Yup." This surprises me a bit, Bruce isn't really for these 'Father, Son chats'.

"So, should I like, tell her?"

"Oh, you can't." He says.

"Wait what?"

"I don't want your guys distracted from your Batgirl and Robin duties. No dating." He states and leaves.

Well this sucks...
