    Summary

    The knife pushes thin along Dick’s carotid artery, cupping the indent between neck and jawline—forcing him to angle his chin. The metal is warm, pulled with execution speed from under Damian’s pillow.

    “Okay,” Dick says quietly, tracking the intricacies of his own heartbeat—counting the space between breaths. “Guess I did need a shave.”

    (With faltering steps, Dick and Damian become Batman and Robin.)

    Summary

    "I have scars too." It's an offering, something small and fragile clasped in his palm. Bruce offers the hand holding the dangerous vulnerability of his life to Jason, waiting.

    Jason turns to look at Bruce over his shoulder, and Bruce sees the moment understanding fills the boy's eyes. Sometimes Jason acts too old for his age, filled with empathy beyond his years.

    He reaches out and accepts the small offering, holding it carefully in his own damaged hands.

    (The first time Bruce washes his son's hair.)

    Summary

    “You’re doing it again,” Bruce says, tone accusatory. “You’re faking.”

    “It’s not faking,” Dick snaps, a little more aggressive than he means to be. But he doesn’t like that word, doesn’t like the connotations.

    (Especially when he knows Bruce is lying about something, too.)

    “Then what is it?”

    “It’s called being charming and it’s nice.”

    -_-

    Dick’s mother raised her son to be a star. Dick’s father raised his son to be an athlete.

    Bruce's new ward is charming (manipulative), dedicated (obsessive), and way, way too smart for either of their own good.
