The six (Dad, Damian, Timbo, Jason, Wally, and Alfred) were in the living space that his family got and he was unsure what to say and how to act around them. Unsurprising with how long they all had not seen each other. They all grew older and the one person he has seen this the most is with his brother Damian. The other had grown a lot and is now a teen. From what he could tell around 15 years old. Then there was Timbo who by now was a young adult.

They were all now sitting in the dining room and a plate with food was being put in front of him. The scent alone made his stomach rebel once again and he had to wonder how he could eat something. Even when he was sure it would be good, he could not get himself to eat. Even as his boyfriend gave him a look to eat. But it wasn't just him but Alfie as well. Leading him to eat a few bites. But that was all that he could manage before he could feel the other's concern about him eating not enough. His boyfriend on the other hand let out a sigh as this was better than not eating anything.

"I want answers now, Richard." The tone of his father made him wince and dart his eyes everywhere then his Dad.

No way he could talk about this when not even Wally knew all of it. He knew that there had been something bad that had happened but never what he had been forced to do. Nor the fact that he had killed. His hands shook and he shuddered at the memories. His hands for a moment even looked as if he had blood on them. But he knew that it was his mind playing tricks on them.

"Richard John Grayson." The full name came warningly and he sniffled not wanting his Daddy to be angry with him. Usually when someone said his full name, meant that he had done something bad.

Wally knew that he was feeling overwhelmed. Of course, he knew as he was his bestie. As his bestie, he would always know and that was why he was probably pulled into a side hug, and instinctual he ducked his head and snuggled into the touch.

"Me sowwy..." He mumbled through the fabric and tears started to soak the clothes of his bestie.

"No need to apologize sweetie. Bruce surely is not mad at you. He just sometimes is a dummy not realizing the tone he uses." Wally reassuringly said and he knew that this was true but he could not help but feel that the other was not liking him anymore. After all blood was on his hands.

"Look Bruce, we had gone through unimaginable things and Dickie went through even so much more than I had possibly. He has worst PTSD than I have and I hope that you will wait until he's ready. Oh and a warning, be mindful of what you say." Wally softly yet warningly replied, but as well protectively and this was why he loved his besties lots. The look that he felt everyone giving him; The looks reminded Dickie of his sister that would always give that kind of look that made him know that she cared lots for him.

"I know that you two were close, can it be that you two are finally together?" It was said by Timbo and he tilted his head as his expression was puzzled.

It was not that he had not understood the question but he was not sure what to say. His cheeks heated up and he could not help but hide his face out of shyness.

"Of course. How would I not when he's the most amazing person ever?" His bestie stated as if it was the truth. Yet he felt as if he wasn't an amazing person. Not with how he got blood on his hands. How could he handle this guilt that he was feeling? How do Dami and Jay do this? His heart ached and his insecurities peaked at the fear of rejection.

"I am not even surprised that you two ended up as a couple." His Tati stated wryly and he was relieved that at least the other was accepting this. But would he accept him for what he had done?

"But harm him and you will wish that you had never harmed my son." It was soon added and he felt embarrassed but at the same time, it warmed his heart. It showed that his Tati cared for him.

"I won't, not with how much he went through." His bestie promised and he smiled slightly at hearing this. It was showing him once again that the other cared for him, but his smile slipped with the thought of the rejection could still happen. All he could hope was that they would still accept him.
