Charity Case

Hey!

Richard Grayson, or Dick Grayson, was walking down the hallway at Gothom Academy. He was upset. These boys were bullying him.

"Hey, freak!" called Toby Con.

"Speak of the devil," said Dick," What?"

"Bit snippy for a circus freak," said Toby.

"Shut up!" said Dick.

"Who's picking you up?" asked Toby.

"Bruce,"said Dick.

"Charity project," said Toby.

"What?" asked Dick.

"You're just a charity case," said Toby.

"No, Bruce loves me," said Dick.

"No, he doesn't. You make him look good. Taking you up was not for you, but him. If you didn't make him look good, you'd be on the streets," said Toby.

"You're lying," said Dick, but he was beginning to doubt Bruce. He always seemed to love him, but he did seem to like sending it to the news people. He might be trying to make people like him better. He hasn't dated anyone though. Dick was confused.

"Am I?" asked Toby and he left. That was all it took. The doubt were coming faster now than ever.

After school, Dick was waiting for Bruce. He started thinking. He finally realized it. It all made sense. Bruce never had time for him. He never seemed there when he really needed him.

Bruce picked him up. He tried to act the same, but Bruce was Batman. He knew something was wrong. He was determined to figure out what it was.

"What's wrong?" asked Bruce.

"Nothing," said Dick.

"Yeah, right," said Bruce, and he rolled his eyes," I'm Batman, Dick. What's wrong?"

"Am I a charity case?" asked Dick," Did you just take me up because I make you look good? Would I be on the street otherwise?"

"What?! No!" Bruce said astonished," I adopted you because I saw me in you. I love you."

"No, you didn't," said Dick," You never signed the papers."

"Well, then I'll do that when we get home," said Bruce, and he gave Dick a quick hug.

Line Break...

After Bruce signed the papers, he realized he didn't know what made Dick think like that. "Dick, can you come here for a minute?" Bruce asked. Dick let him into the room. He was staring at the floor with tears in his eyes. I knew that he was going to get rid of me. I really am a charity case. Toby was right, thought

"What made you think that you were a charity case?" asked Bruce.

"Toby said I was and I just believe him," said Dick.

"You aren't and if it makes you feel better, I already signed the papers," said Bruce.

"I love you, daddy," said Dick. Bruce was shocked. Dick hadn't called him daddy in a long time. He was quiet too long though. Dick was looking down with tears his eyes. He thought he said the wrong thing. I ruined it, thought Dick.

"Dick, I love you too," said Bruce," I didn't mean to stay quiet. You just surprised me."

"Daddy, can you stay with me tonight?" asked Dick," Please, hold me tonight."

"Of cource, Dickie," said Bruce, and he held Dick to his chest. He smiled as he heard Dick's breath even out.

Sorry it's mostly dialogue. Hope you like! Review, yal!
