SHOCKWAVE OF CYBERTRON, YOU HAVE DISPLAYED THE SKILL TO SPREAD FEAR ACROSS THOSE WHO CROSS YOU WITH LOGIC AND SCIENCE. FOR THAT YOU HAVE BEEN SECLECTED TO JOIN THE YELLOW LANTERN CORPS.

The Cybertronian Members of the Lantern Corps (A Concept)

So here’s the idea: The Cybertronian Civil War has finally and truly ended. Megatron has surrendered, and the Decepticons and Autobots have struck up a peace. And thanks to this, many old records from Iacon have been recovered and Cybertron has once again opened up trade and travel with the galaxy, becoming an active participant of the universe… which gets the attention of the various Lantern Corps of DC. So many new Rings find new owners from the various members of Cybertronian Society.

(Side note I’ll be focusing on four Lantern Corps since I know more about them than the others)

(ALSO note that this is MAINLY IDW Comics inspired)

There would be one UNIQUE Lantern, who would become the main threat to many and would be the reason there are once again Black Lanterns… Overlord. He would be both a Red and Yellow Lantern, harnessing Rage and Fear for his own gain. So a new battle would have to begin.

DC Justice League: Dark Rebirth

In a universe where Darkseid won, effectively ruining the Earth, leaving husks of cities and towns. He killed Superman, and took control of the rest of the big league members of the Justice League. Darkseid even brought the planet Apocalypse to replace the Moon. But he left one hole in his plan empty… he didn’t capture Cyborg, Raven, Starfire, and Redhood, alongside a few other heroes and villains, which include the likes of Zatanna, Question, Batwoman, Batgirl, Artemis, Green Arrow, Bane, Poison Ivy, Harley Quinn, Captain Boomerang, King Shark, Captain Cold, Black Manta, Deadshot, Deathstroke, Mr. Freeze, Cheetah, and Solomm Grundy. Together they survive the wastelands, killing and avoiding parademons who wander the dead planet. The team also looks for other survivors, who are scattered around the world. Little do they all know though, a new being is about to step into the limelight, with a goal to save Earth… _______________________________________________________

This being is named Deathjaw. He’s a necromancer from Hell who has always dreamed of redeeming himself from the wrongs he’s done in the efforts of good. So he studied for centuries but when millions of lives began to enter Hell, Deathjaw became suspicious of the now swarming new waves of tormented souls being thrown to Hell. While the Righteous Demons judged them, Deathjaw questioned a few until he learned of what happened in the mortal realm. It was then Deathjaw decided to leave the realm of the Dead to fix the problem, taking his personal assistant Dark Cyber, a powerful knight infused with the powers of dark magic and demonhood. Deathjaw used a powerful spell to enter the mortal realm, stepping out into the ruins of Gotham. He ran into Killer Moth and Clayface who were trying to escape the Parademons. While Deathjaw couldn’t save Killer Moth, who was eviscerated by the demons, he and Dark Cyber were able to save Clayface, who told them everything that happened. Deathjaw began to plot while escorting Clayface to a safehouse, run by the surviving heroes and villains. Deathjaw left the safehouse, leaving Dark Cyber to help guard. _______________________________________________________

Deathjaw came up with a plan that would require a lot of magic but if he could pull it off, Deathjaw was sure he could help face Darkseid. During his travels, Deathjaw would come across a lot of survivors, who he’d direct towards the various safehouses he would come across, sometimes helping defend them from the eyes of the parademons and Darkseid. Eventually he came to the ruins of Metropolis. Where LexCorp once stood was a massive crater, and in the center was the body of Superman. Darkjaw had decided to resurrect the symbol of Hope using a spell he had learned and manipulated slightly by Trigon himself. Superman had been torn apart by Darkseid, but with the spell, Superman would be able to regenerate himself from tremendous damage. Alongside that, Superman would achieve various other abilities. But Deathjaw also knew that by reviving Superman, Darkseid’s attention would be gained, so Deathjaw took the body to the living planet Io, who while the rest of the Green Lanterns had been slain, still lived thanks to some last minute thinking by the Guardians. Io helped gather the magic required to summon the massive spell, and Deathjaw used it all to revive the mighty Superman. While Superman wasn’t exactly happy, he accepted the facts and with Deathjaw they returned to Earth, where Deathjaw executed the next phase of his plan. _______________________________________________________

Once they arrived on Earth, Darkseid appeared, annoyed that Superman was alive once again. The two clashed once more, now on equal footing. While they fought, Deathjaw teleported to Apocalypse. There he used his magic to track and fight the various controlled Justice League members. There was Wonder Woman, who’s body had been turned into a cyborg. Then it was the Flash, who was forced to have his arms replaced and his eyes removed, replaced with a visor. Green Lantern was turned into Dark Lantern, his ring corrupted with Dark Matter. Martian Manhunter was turned into a Super Parademon, having all his abilities but a deadly hunter instinct. Aquaman was also turned into a Super Parademon, with fish-like features. Finally, Batman… they were turned into Darkseid’s military general, his body mainly unaltered, mainly his legs and eye being replaced. Deathjaw took each one out using his magic, and then reversed the mind control forced upon them. With the Justice League freed, they returned to Earth to see Superman and Darkseid still fighting. The fighting had brought the survivors out as well, mainly holding off the parademons. The Justice League hopped into the fight to save Earth. Deathjaw joined Superman to fight Darkseid. _______________________________________________________

During the fight, Darkseid would taunt Deathjaw, questioning why Hell spawn would even want to save Earth. Deathjaw explained that in life, he used Necromancy to defend his family and friends, but the king who ruled the kingdom Deathjaw lived in forced Deathjaw to raise an undead to serve the king, and in their first battle, many innocent lives were lost to the chaotic army, causing Deathjaw’s family to be killed. Enraged, Deathjaw killed the king and was hung for the act. Deathjaw explained further that Darkseid reminded him of that king, and if Deathjaw had to die once again in order to not only save Earth but redeem himself, he would. Deathjaw then activated his true form, a Fallen Archangel, and helped Superman fight the dark tyrant. Nearing the end of the fight, Deathjaw decided to use a move that would surely kill him, but also end Darksied’s threat forever. With Superman’s help, they were able to stun Darkseid long enough for them to summon a wormhole to something Deathjaw called to Fallen Graveyard, a universe that swallowed anything and anyone whole. With help from everyone, Deathjaw and Superman were able to push Darkseid into the wormhole, and forced all the parademons to follow suit, all being eradicated almost immediately. Deathjaw would fall onto the ground, feeling the spell take its toll. But Dark Cyber is able to reverse the effects, truly allowing Deathjaw, alongside the rest of the living members of Earth, a second chance of living on Earth. And so began, while Grim and Dark, a Hopeful Rebirth. _______________________________________________________

DC Justice League: Dark Rebirth is something I came up with relatively recently, and I really wanted to somehow write a somewhat dark but hope filled story about a Darkseid invasion. So this is what it became! I’m very happy with what I did with this!

Okay now to the basic facts one should know:

This plot would go around for a few “episodes” due to the extensivity of the story. 

Characters like Lex Luthor, The Joker, Sinestro, Black Adam, etc are most likely dead. 

Deathjaw and Dark Cyber ARE my own original characters for the DC AU.

Is Deathjaw very powerful? YES. That’s the point of his character, he’s supposed to be this powerful figure who limits himself due to his past. He only really goes full power against Darkseid.

This plot is HEAVILY inspired by some of the Animated DC Universe’s concepts of Darkseid’s invasion and such.

Is Alfred alive? Yes. Yes he is. I ain’t killing the lovely old bastard.

The “designs” for the manipulated members of the Justice League are heavily Borg/General Grievous/Ultron inspired, with obvious inspirations for Darkseid’s army itself.

To all wondering, yes Trigon taught Deathjaw. To an extent. It was really just Deathjaw examining Trigon using his powers.

Will I do short stories or art with this universe? Yes but most Epilogue stuff. It’s funner that way.

(Yall I made a youtube playlist just for this lol. And yes I just wanted to post something a little different.)

bunch of doodles in spired by @mysterycyclone 's Dark Matter fic !! Please check out their writing ❤️❤️

Can I request all the characters you can do with an s/o who tries to pour bleach into their eyes becuase of something they saw on the internet?

Request: Yes Summery: Reader pours bleach into their eyes when they see something cursed on the internet Characters: Peter parker, Tony stark, Osamu dazai, chuuya nakahara, steve harrington, Eddie munson, Joker, Harley, elvis, tartaglia and beidou. Genre: Big crackheaded shit

A/n: Guess who's alive! sorry for keeping you from this one, I hope you'll enjoy this request, it was lots of fun to write haha! Now enjoy you guys before my social and private life will kick me in the ass again-

Peter parker

this poor boy got the biggest heart attack of his life-

There you two were, just chilling in the compound of the avengers, as you were in the kitchen and him on the couch, when he suddenly heard you scream.

He quickly ran towards you, sliding into the kitchen seeing you wave your eyes dry cause they looked red and and puffy

"WHAT HAPPENED-" He screamed a bit in distress, as he saw the bleach at the side, dumbfounded as you explained it that you saw a cursed meme on your phone.

He takes you to the infirmary of course, as he cleaned the mess up

lets just say from now on your not ever alone with the chemicals around you

Tony stark

After hearing your screams, he quickly ran towards you

"kid what happened-"

He saw the bleach, your puffy red eyes, ur crying face and immediately knew what happened

"Okay why did you pour bleach in your eyes what is wrong with you-"

You explained what happened and he immediately slapped himself in the face

"for this dumb reason you decided to throw bleach in your eyes?"

He'll get you cleaned up

Expect child locks on everything now, something only he can open

Osamu dazai

"Oh belladonna~!" he chirped as you just were blinking constantly, trying to get the burn out of your eyes

He looked at the table where the bleach was still at, and your eyes who are red, puffy and look like they went through hell-

"....YOU DOING A SUICIDE WITHOUT ME-?"

In all seriousness, he would be concerned about what happened that made you do this.

Probably listening and curious what you have seen that did this, search it up and then join you too

now your two idiots with bleach in their eyes

congrats your made for each other

Chuuya nakahara

"WHAT THE-"

He'll scold you like a mad man

"WHY ON EARTH DID YOU DO THAT-"

He loves you to much though, so he would help you get your eyes treated cause of the love he has for you, if it was dazai who did this he would just let him die <3

You will pout at the way he's treating you, which would make him melt a bit and kiss your entire face

Steve harrington

His mother mode got activated, I swear to god.

Towels? Water? Where the fuck did you even see this shit that you decided to just throw bleach In your eyes

"Sweetheart why did you do that-"

"I saw something at the neighbours house that I shouldn't have."

He will just chuckle, scold you for being such an idiot and help you settle down a bit because your eyes burn like hell

don't worry, he still loves you

Eddie munson

we all know the kind of place Eddie lives, not the big and fancy houses that almost every character in the show has

so when you just did the laundry, looking over at the neighbours on accident, seeing a whole...intercourse scene happening in front of your eyes, you couldn't help it but walk back inside

and so the random bleach in the eyes started

Eddie, looking at you like your crazy, slapped the bleach right out of your hands

"Doll what the fuck-"

He helped you clean it up, scolding you for being crazy

"they call me crazy but what about you-"

The Joker

Boy this man would just laugh at you-

no mercy, he ain't the type of man for that man

He would order some of his henchmen to follow in your footsteps, which they can't refuse cause like, either bleach in your eyes or die at the hands of the joker? bleach it is-

he does however have a little soft spot for you, so he'll order frost to go and help you clean up, recover from this stupid decision you made.

Maybe he'll search up the things that traumatised you so much and broadcast it through all Gotham.

Harley quinn

Just like J, she would laugh, only at some point she'll help you herself

when out of sight of the joker, she'll scold you for being such an idiot

"sweetie why?"

You explained the thing you saw online as you saw her shudder

"Yeah that explains why, I see why you did it-" Giggles leave both you and Quinn

She'll help you the best she could, as she smiles at you

"now MAKE OVER TIME-"

Get ready to be dragged into some shopping without paying

Elvis presley

"Mama have you seen my- OMG-"

You scare him To death as he pushed the bleach away, immediatly helping you get rid of the sting

"SATNIN WHAT ON EARTH-"

You explained what happened, That some fan had send you a letter and the pictures with it were so disgusting

Now Elvis didn't like that one bit.

after aiding you, he made sure to track down this person and make sure there will be a nice chat.

"I got you lil mama, I got you"

Tartaglia

"Babe I'm homeeee- what happened to you-?"

You sat there, sniffling as your eyes were burning badly

"I poured bleach in it"

"why-"

"I got flashed by our neighbour-"

Childe was not having that.

"come here darling let me help you."

He was so nice to put you into one of his sweaters, cleaning you up and giving you soft kisses on your forehead, making sure your comfortable before he would have a talk with your neighbours

Nothing you'll know

Beidou

She expected to come home with a smiling lover, but instead, she came home with her lover having bleach on the floor and in your eyes.

"Oh dear what happened?"

You told her you kinda got some gross photo's from some men, and when you got home you wanted to forget those photo's so you bleached your eyes, which was a bad idea.

Beidou shushed you, helped you clean up as she cupped your face, kissing your lips shortly and smiles at you, hiding her anger for your sake

She puts you comfy as she quickly made an excuse to see ningguang, who secretly has a soft spot for you

lets just say you never see or hear from those men again.

Do you have a rules page or any guidelines for requesting ?

your very free to ask whatever you want! I do have a few rules, but those are kinda the basics, just decent human being rules

Scroll all the way down at this post and you’ll see the few rules I put in :D

Thank you for asking though <33

Headcannon that due to diligently monitoring the Wayne family’s media image, Alfred is chronically online, and as such, is constantly dropping slang into conversation like-

(Over the coms)

Batman: Alfred, what’s the update on the Arkham situation?

Alfred: *Ahem* Unfortunately sir, it is as they say- ‘we’re cooked’

Collective groans from Tim, Dick, and Jason over the coms

Batman: …Huh?

Jason: *muttering* I knew I should’ve stayed outa this one…

Damian: I don’t understand, what are we cooking?

Alfred: It’s giving ‘failure era’, sir-

Dick: Damn it!

Tim: We really are cooked

Damian: What does that -?

Alfred: It’s lowkey not-

Batman: In English Alfred. Please.

Alfred: *Sigh* My apologies, sir. The Joker has escaped.

damian: you bumbling bafoon! never in my life have i met such a -

jason: big words considering i fucked your mom.

dick: YOU DID WHAT?!

jason: oops

this is the ONLY damian wayne design i accept by the way. brown skin, a crooked nose, dark green eyes and thick eyebrows. keep that white-washed monstrosity away from me

tim showing duke around the cave for the first time: there’s jason’s memorial case, and - oh, here’s dicks old nightwing suit, we call it discowing cuz frankly it’s kinda —

duke: it’s beautiful.

tim: what.

duke: all those bright colors, i bet he pulled in this suit

tim: i mean, i guess he was dating starfire, but she’s not exactly a normal girl —

duke: im gonna have to take notes, maybe dick will help design my suit?

dick wrapping his arms around duke and leading him away to discuss suit ideas: i’m glad someone appreciates my artistic eye

jason: imma kms, there’s two now

I love the circle of like 80 maximum Cass fans on tumblr who are all mostly chill and doing their own thing but then someone makes a random poll being like "Best batfam character with Bat in their title" and we fucking swarm and promote that shit like it's the most important election of all time. It happens once a month and it's worth it every time. I think Cass fans on twitter do the exact same thing like she won the best batfam member poll with thousands of accounts voting a year or two ago. Fantastic work everyone keep up the spirit of Cass winning everything, it's what the annoying menace would want ❤️

My two loves currently. x

If you ever catch me randomly laughing at nothing, it's because I remembered that comic panel where Tim is like "my girlfriend is pregnant" and Dick just falls off the fucking roof.

Dick Grayson? You mean Eldest Daughter Syndrome Incarnate?

Mushy ~ Nightwing

A/n: So I haven’t written in a while huh? Well let’s not dwell on that that... or the fact that this request came in like centuries ago didkdkdkd

Request: “(a member of the team) and dick are already in a relationship but neither bothered to tell anyone. whenever the two are with the team or (anyone really) they just keep each other company & don't interact much in front of people (both are content with this tho) so the team find out by walking in on them when they're alone at the base and being lovey dovey dorks 💙 (a bet may have been made among a few of the members)” by anon!

Word Count: 2600+

Warnings: Brief violence. Pain. Kinda graphic.

MASTERLIST

Dating was hard. So was being a super hero. Combining the two was a whole other level of ridiculous.

Dick had far too much experience with dating people he worked with. He had never been one to push separating pleasure from business if the opportunity arose, but Y/n always had been. They had watched Dick go through girlfriends one after the other - and it was always ruined by being a superhero. Seeing that Dick wasn’t one to be a player, and ended on good terms in all of those relationships, it was obvious that dating superheroes didn’t work. So when Y/n started to have feelings for him...

Listen having feelings for Richard Grayson was one thing. It was risky on its own. Dick was a great guy but he also had a lot of responsibility and it left little time for a relationship. Which meant that when Dick called Y/n out on their feelings, Y/n made him set immediate rules if they were going to date. He had to treat them like any of the other team - they could take care of themself, it wasn’t his job to take care of them. With that, no PDA. They couldn’t be coupley - it was distracting and if they didn’t end up working out it would mess up the team. Dick, more than willing to go through the relationship and try it out however it needed to go, agreed immediately. He had tried the open and adorable and flirty thing and it had failed, so why not try something new?

It was surprisingly easy. The two had already worked well before, but as they grew to love each other even more and learn more about the other, their trust and understanding grew. They went from functional to exceptional. Any team with both of them would succeed - no matter what. They didn’t have to talk, a simple touch or look and they understood each other. The team tried to communicate as much as possible and with Megan connecting everyone telepathically it wasn’t often needed, but when it was? Everyone was very grateful for the new dynamic duo.

As much as Y/n and Dick were very lowkey and casual, their growing connection went very noticed by everyone around them. It started with their closest friends of course, but very quickly branched out to even those who didn’t know them well. Even without the usual flirting and blushing and flusterness they were used to seeing with in-team dating, they had an undeniable chemistry. An energy, like a chord that tied them together. So thick and present that it was almost tangible.

They always sat and stood close to each other, and even if they never were touchier than with anyone else or didn’t explicitly move to be together, it was odd that they just happened to be side by side. Like they were subconsciously staying close by each other even if there was nothing going on. They came and left together a lot, usually passing it off as being engaged in some kind of conversation or plan. They usually went on patrol together unless they had a specific need for someone else or Dick was taking one of the other Robins for mentor stuff.

They just... clicked. And everyone could tell.

It became very normal for the two to be casual, even though they’d been dating only a few months. They went on dates, and the Batfam all knew they were dating of course - even without talking about it. They still had their domestic and romantic moments as well. They just got used to existing together. That was their love language.

That changed one day when Y/n got hurt.

Dick had been back at the compound. It was a big mission and Y/n had ended up with Tim. The two weren’t as fluid as Y/n and Dick, but they did have a certain flow that Bruce and Dick both thought would be a good influence for Tim. So the duo had set out, and for a while everything had been okay. It was only a recon mission - get intel, get out. They had underestimated security though and Y/n had barely pulled Tim out of the way of an arrow that sunk into a wood wall where Tim’s head had been.

The fight wasn’t too bad. The thugs were slow and awkward. They were used to Tim - this was Gotham after all and Red Robin wasn’t a new player in the game - but they had never seen Y/n before and as they were a super powered individual and not just a well stocked tool belt and incredible amount of smarts, the usual tricks that were used against the Batfam... didn’t work on Y/n.

The problem arose in numbers. There were so many of them, and it was far too soon that the two were outnumbered and back to back as even their combined efforts were not showing any openings to snag an upper hand. Y/n, whose powers were based on the flight their wings gave them, was not having an easy time maneuvering in such a small space as the thugs closed in. And they could have just flown off, but there were snipers on the roof and they couldn’t move fast enough to get out of range while also carrying Tim. They’d have been shot down. Even now it was risky - they were lucky they were in the cover of so many trees.

There was the sound of some kind of gun - not armed with bullets, as it soon became obvious, but anchors that caught Y/n’s wings and yanked. Hard. They dodged several of the things, but it made it even harder to fight while trying to hide their large target wings from such attacks while also fighting the other people. Tim eventually got caught up in the dodging, fighting, and trying to avoid messing up Y/n, and slammed into their back on accident. The space they both had was too small now and Y/n tripped, losing their balance. It left an opening for one of the anchors finally implanted into the side of Y/n’s right wing. All the person had to do was yank and they weren’t only thrown off balance - they were distracted by an incredibly sharp pain that wracked their entire body.

Dick was screaming in Y/n’s ear piece, something about back up coming and being careful and holding in there and- and something else, but Tim and Y/n couldn’t pay attention or respond. Tim was suddenly doubled up on enemies as another anchor hit the bottom of Y/n’s right wing, and then another hit their left finally. They were being yanked, this time in three very different directions. Not only the pain of being pulled like that, but also in near opposite directions - like being pulled in half - set their body on fire.

They were blinded by vision that was going white with agony, a scream ripping from them with every yank. It went from fighting to defending as they simply tried to pry off the anchors and push the other people away from them. But it was too much and another anchor caught them - this time sinking into their arm. Seconds later their opposite leg was caught too, and they couldn’t even move. Dick had gone silent and Tim had taken his place, screaming Y/n’s name. But they had been separated and he had his own problems to deal with.

In the end, backup got there just in time. Y/n had been caught in several places, and was immobile as they got the shit kicked out of them. Garth, M’gann and Zatana showed up in time for the rescue, finishing off the rest of the thugs and scooping Y/n and Tim onto the ship and away from Gotham. They all returned to the cave alive, even as Y/n had been very messed up.

It wasn’t long before Y/n was okay. They had been out of commission for about a week, more for psychological reasons than physical ones. The team had a healer now and Y/n had only let her in, wanting to be alone for a while to go through the course of events in their head and process what had happened. Black Canary had helped, and then they were back and just fine, if a little sensitive wing wise and a little jumpy when it came to missions.

Dick hadn’t seen his partner in a week. They had texted and called, but they had begged him to give them a second because they were having a hard time handling what had happened. Dick had tried to come out of costume and without the team, but things kept coming up - suddenly a week was gone. Y/n understood and soothed his worry and guilt, but it still didn’t change that when they finally were back, Dick was a little protective.

When one of the younger kids asked about it, Dick explained that as team leader he felt very guilty for being partly responsible for the harm that Y/n experienced that night. It was a good excuse, especially as everyone on the team cared very deeply about each other and everyone felt just as upset about Y/n being hurt as Dick did (if maybe a little less, as Dick was their boyfriend). Even as valid as it was, they all knew the truth. They couldn’t imagine what it would be like to watch someone you loved go through that, so everyone gave them as much space as possible.

It was early morning and everyone was either not awake, at school, or at work. Y/n had switched to online school, excusing it as being super sick. They usually bind their wings for public stuff and it was just fine, but with their new sensitivities it had grown from slightly annoying to suffocating and even painful. Not wanting to stay home and worry their parents, they had taken to doing school in the cave. Dick had graduated, so he no longer had school and he didn’t need to work so when he didn’t want to - he didn’t. That meant that even early like it was, Y/n was sat on the couch with their laptop, backpack, and notes out, wings stretch out and resting gently, when Dick entered the cave.

Immediately Y/n rose an eyebrow. “You never come over this early,” they pointed out.

Dick shrugged. “I know you’ve been having a hard time sleeping with your wings, so I gaurentee you slept in and haven’t eaten breakfast yet.”

Usually Y/n wouldn’t hesitate to call him out on such a blatant excuse to be around them, but honestly he was right and they were very happy to see him. On top of that, they hated to be alone and no one else was in the cave so they could be a little coupley without it being a big deal.

“Fine,” they relented. Dick, who had predicted as much, was already starting his work in the kitchen. Y/n didn’t bother him with questions or breakfast cravings - Dick knew their favorites and preferences. Instead they focused on class, headphones in and pen working across their sheet as they took notes along with the lesson. It seemed only minutes later when Dick appeared next to them. He set two plates down, and then left again to return with two glasses of orange juice as well. He set the glasses on the coffee table where he had put the plates before. Then he plopped onto the couch next to them. His arm went around their shoulders, holding then to him rather than just resting like they usually did. There was a desperation to it - almost like he was reassuring himself they were there at all.

Y/n didn’t give him crap for throwing them off balance and almost making them drop their laptop. They just readjusted and curled into his side. On one knee they watched the stream and on the other they balanced the plate they had grabbed. They ate as they watched and Dick watched with them. He snagged an ear bud and they listened together. When Y/n got confused - he could tell because they froze while eating - he would quickly explain it a different way and they’d nod before continuing.

Once they were done eating, Dick gathered the dirty dishes and left the couch. He cleaned it all up before returning with a large blanket. Y/n smiled as he settled next to them again, this time full pulling them almost into his lap. They chuckled, readjusting once again. “You’re being incredibly distracting Richard,” they teased.

Dick smiled softly. “How ever will you cope?”

They looked at him, an eyebrow quirked in an annoyed expression. Unfortunately their blush ruined it, especially as their lips curled into a smile. “I suppose I’ll tolerate you. Just a little.” They both chuckled and then leaned forward, stealing a long, gentle kiss. His hand rose to cup their face, thumb brushing their cheek and jaw over and over again. Comforting. Loving. They sighed into the kiss, melting into him completely.

Finally Y/n pulled away and they cuddled closer, Y/n’s head falling on Dick’s shoulder and their legs draped over his lap. They returned their attention to the class, Dick’s chin resting on top of Y/n’s head. He caught them up on what they’d missed while distracted by him and they laughed breathily. They were practically glowing as he held them. It was an incredible relief to be reunited after such a harrowing experience and time apart. Perhaps it was why they stayed like that even as the first class ended and the second started.

What they notice was that time was passing. They knew it logically, but both were immersed in the class and their own reunion and the relief and comfort and love they both felt - they didn’t even register the ticking of the clock or the rising of the sun, let alone Connor coming into the room to get some breakfast of his own.

Connor stopped in the doorway, surprised to see the couple so... coupley, I guess. There was something so tender and domestic about them cuddling up, chatting about class when Y/n needed it. Connor almost felt like he was walking into a personal bedroom, witnessing a very private and intimate moment. He had never seen them so like this, and his definition of love between them had become standing close and making eye contact while talking. This was a whole new level of precious.

When the shock wore off, a glowing grin took his place. Someone walked up behind him. “What are you-“ the voice that obviously belonged to Raquel cut off with a gasp as she noticed the same scene he had. “Oh my god.”

Connor chuckled. Y/n and Dick looked over just in time for Connor to hold out his palm, and Raquel, speechless, reached into her pocket and pulled out a ten dollar bill. She placed it in his hand and he smirked before going to make breakfast.

They had made a wager on whether Y/n and Dick were together or not. Interesting.

Dick smiled to himself. “We should do this more often. I like seeing their reactions to us.”

Y/n hummed, nodding. “Okay.” Their answer made Dick soften, and he sunk deeper into the couch like he had gone a little limp.

Raquel shook her head before moving to the kitchen with Connor. Now that she had gotten over her shock she was determined for breakfast as well. She simply looked at Connor and rolled her eyes. “Simp.”

Connor actually snorted in amusement. “You’re surprised?”

That made Raquel giggle. “Fair enough.”
