3rd POV

Dick went up to Bruce, who was sitting in front of the Bat computer with his cowl pulled down.

"I'm heading out, see you later Bruce." Dick bid his goodbye, as he was returning to Bludhaven. Bruce waved goodbye, and Dick turned around, ready to leave.

"You should probably tell Damian you're leaving." Dick heard Bruce say from behind him. Dick smiled lightly to himself and walked up to Damian's room before lightly knocking.

"Dami?" He called into the room as he opened the door and stepped in.

"Grayson? What are you doing here?" Damian asked his eldest brother, not looking up from his task of sharpening his katana.

"I wanted to tell you I was leaving, I'm not going to come back until Christmas, which is in three months. That is unless an emergency comes up at least." Dick alerted Damian. Damian stopped for a moment, but quickly resumed sharpening his katana.

"Farewell then Grayson." Damian said curtly.

"Can I have a hug before I go at least?" Dick asked, trying to break the tsundere's shell.

"Hugging is a useless gesture Grayson." Damian kept pretending to be tough. Dick shrugged.

"Alright, I've got to get back anyway. I'll see you in a few months Damian. I'm sorry that I won't be able to call or anything." Dick reminded Damian he didn't have service where he lived, and his job in the Bludhaven police was taxing, along with his duties as Nightwing, he never called the manor much. Damian put his katana to the side and stood up before walking over to Dick.

"Why must you leave so soon?" Damian asked formally.

"Well I mean, I got Babs to cover Bludhaven for the weekend, but I can't stay in Gotham forever, Bludhaven still needs someone to watch it." Dick shrugged thinking nothing of it when he got no response.

"Well, I've got to-" Dick began, but stopped when he felt a pair of arms wrap around his waist.

"Do you have to go?" Damian whimpered lightly into Dick's torso, since he was short in comparison to Dick. 

Dick didn't know what to say to that. Yes, he had to go, but he certainly didn't want to leave the crying assassin alone. He knew from experience that Bruce wasn't much of a touchy-feely person, nor was he one to give his priority to the kids unless they were injured, and even then it took a near fatal wound to snap his attention to the kids. And the problem stood that Damian, more than anyone else, needed the attention of his father, and if not him he still needed someone, anyone. He grew up with the League of Assassins, training to kill, and now he was being told that was bad, and all he ever knew and learned was wrong. You couldn't just change a person like that overnight. Bruce wouldn't mind most likely, so Dick made up his mind.

Dick bent down to Damian's level.

"Want to come and hang out with me for the week in Bludhaven? Be my partner?" Dick offered, smiling at the crying assassin. Damian's eyes lit up as he nodded.

There was the little softie Dick always knew was there.

And that's the first chapter! They're going to be of differing lengths, some shorter like this one, some may even have multiple parts! I may do some "x readers" or general shipping, but the two ships I will NOT do are Spitfire and Chalant. No offence to those ships and those who ship them, but I am a die hard BirdFlash shipper - It's my OTP, so I'm very sorry, but I can't write shipping stories about one of the BirdFlash members being romantically involved with any but the other BirdFlash member.

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed the first chapter! 

I'll take any requests given until they are smut. I don't do smut.

Until next time,
