So I'll have an excuse to come see you.

ty 💙

[farcry]

See, from anyone else, that would come off kinda sweet.

❤️

[shoving]

Or not. That’s fine too. You can still keep it.

1/2

[farcry]

Okay. Thank you.

2/2

[farcry]

I didn’t mean that offensively. You understand where I’m coming from. Right, Bruce?

[shoving]

You're still mad at me.

[farcry]

[ sigh. ]

No, it’s just. Why do you always need a reason in order to visit me?

[shoving]

I didn't think you would want me to just drop by without a reason.

[ I mean he's probably got eyes on Dick's place out of, y'know, paranoia. But he would never just stop by! ]

[farcry]

[ how does one express that he’d like to be checked in with without it being a checking up on. ]

Would you even want to drop by without reason?

[shoving]

If you want me to.

[farcry]

But would you want to? Regardless if I wanted you to or not?

[ listen. it’s not just semantics ok. ]

[shoving]

[ Just confess, Bruce. ]

Yes.

[farcry]

[ he knew what the answer was, but hadn’t expected to actually get it out of Bruce. ]

Okay.

[ then he’ll keep the gift, even if he suspects it’s bugged in some way. ]

Just give me a heads up. So I know to be here.

[shoving]

Are you there now?

[ it's definitely bugged. ]

[farcry]

Yes.
You knew that, didn't you?

[shoving]

Do you really want me to answer that?

[farcry]

No. Not really, no.

[ what's strange is how strange this feels to think that Bruce might be dropping by for no reason at all. he has a hard time convincing himself to believe it. ]

Are you headed over now?

[shoving]

I am. I do actually have something for you.

[farcry]

[ phew. he reminds himself not to get too excited. ]

Really. It's not my birthday.

[shoving]

It's not much of a gift.

[farcry]

The suspense.
You're driving at speed limit right now, right?

[shoving]

Absolutely.

[ not. ]

[farcry]

Oh. That's why it's taking you so long.

[shoving]

[ Knock, knock. ]

You were saying?

[farcry]

[ the door to his apartment swings open to reveal Dick, dressed casually in a pair of dark pants and a black hoodie. part of him wonders how Bruce got into the lobby and up the four flights of stairs, but the other part of him doesn't want to know.

he just tips his head at Bruce with a knowing smile tugging at his mouth. ]

Guess you were closer than I thought since you got here so quickly without speeding.

[ he steps to the side to let Bruce into the dimly lit apartment. ]
