"i've never fallen from quite this high, falling into your ocean eyes"

he always smiled as if nothing could touch him. and maybe nothing could. it was always that way with him. that easy, careless smile, the slight curl of his dark hair as it touched his forehead, his melodic voice as it rang out in laughter, his ocean colored eyes sparkling with pure joy; he was the embodiment of happiness, that dick grayson, a pure ray of sunshine. it was heartbreaking to think that it could all be an act, but it was soul crushing to know that most of it was. i had known dick my entire life, so to speak, and i knew him inside out. his trauma, his breakdowns, the sleepless nights he spent crying over the mistakes he made. the nights where he would crawl in through my window at three in the morning because his thoughts had wandered into a dark place he was too terrified of to face alone. i knew all of it. he trusted me with it. after all, i was his best friend. i was as much a part of him as his own spirit was. and he was a part of me.

"are you coming over tonight?" dick asked, brushing a loose strand of hair out of my face so that i looked at him. his nose was tinted a slight shade of red from the early october cold. "alfred's making your favorite" when i only gave a small shrug of my shoulders and didn't respond, he quickly wrapped his arms around my waist and threw me over his shoulder as i burst into sudden laughter, the book i was reading for english class flying out of my hands and landing on the jacket that he had spread out on the still damp grass. i gripped his hips out of instict, my fear of falling taking over as i dug my nails into his shirt. some passing people turned to look at us with strange, disapproving looks. others laughed along with us. i hiccuped a couple of laughs as i struggled to get my words out and playfully punched his thigh to tell him to let me down.

smiling, he ran his fingers over my hair to smooth it out, and fixed my gotham academy uniform jacket, then placed his hand on my shoulder. "so are you coming over? please say yes..." he practically begged as he fake pouted. i chuckled as i looked down, avoiding those crystaline eyes of his. those eyes that i had slowly fallen in love with.

"yeah, sure. it's not like i have anything better to do. and i have physics homework to finish up; your computer is way better than mine anyway" i said casually as i picked up my book and bookbag off the ground, noticing as dick made an exaggerated movement as if he was stabbing his heart.

"ouch" he hissed "you're using me for my computer?" he said in feigned hurt.

i simply laughed shortly and waited for him to catch up to me "come on, richard" i joked as he slung an arm over my shoulders.

the drive from the school to the manor wasn't a long one, but we had spent about an hour in the park so it was already getting dark. i looked out of my open window, not caring about the crisp cold breeze that pricked at my skin. the sensation was pleasant, not bothersome. dick, however, worried too much about my health.

"you're gonna catch a cold, Y/N, roll the window up" he said catching a quick glance at me before returning his eyes back to the road, his fingers grazing over my cold knuckles.

"i'm fine" i responded, turning my head to look at him. i couldn't understand how he could be so angelic, yet still human. he had the body of a greek god, and a heart of pure gold. his mind, though, was dark and guarded. with walls that stretched far beyond just trauma and pain. walls that no one could break down. no one but me. i was the one and only person that he let in, the one and only person that could truly see dick grayson, and not just look at him. i think it's what made me fall for him. now, as his hand was wrapped around the stick shift of his sky blue mustang, his eyes reflecting the light that bounced off the exit signs, everything was still and perfect. and my lips moved faster than my mind.

"i love you"

so simple and yet so complicated. so meaningless and so meaningful. i saw something flash in his eyes; hope, joy maybe? but i knew i must have imagined it, because he pulled into the driveway of his father's mansion without saying a word, and it was then when i felt my heart clench and break into pieces. he didn't feel the same way. but how could he? he couldn't love me back. i was his best friend, and you can't fall for your best friend. but i did. i stupidly, blindly, willingly fell for him. and now that i stupidly, and blindly put it out in the open for him to know, it would change everything.

"i'm sorry" i began to mutter as i reached for the door, but stopped as i heard him lock the door.

i turned my head to speak, say something along the lines of an apology, but couldn't as he leaned over his seat and kissed me. so passionately and longingly that it made me feel as if he had wanted to do it for ages. i kissed back just as passionately and longingly, because i knew i had wanted to do it for ages. he pulled away, breathing slightly heavier than normal, his hand resting at my jaw.

"god, i love you too. i've loved you for the longest time, Y/N." he said as a smile drew itself upon his perfect lips. "i love you"

i felt my heart mend from those million pieces it broke into. a smile crawling onto my face as i stared up into his ocean eyes and he stared down into mine, laying another kiss on his soft lips as he brought me down into the backseat.
