AGE 18 (The next day)
Barbara rolled over the next morning to find only herself in the bed. She sat up and eyed the room. After determining that Dick was not in there or in his bathroom she slid out of the bed and pulled on his button up shirt over her panties.
As she made her way down the back stairs that led to the kitchen she heard Dicks voice but what he was saying was rather odd "Ow, ow...damn it...ouch"
Barbara scrunched up her nose and continued down the stairs at a little bit of a quicker pace curious as to what had him saying this
When she reached the kitchen she found Dick at the stove attempting to fry bacon in nothing but sweat pants
Barbara laughed and stepped forward "What are you doing?" She asked raising an eyebrow
Dick looked at her over his shoulder "Well I thought it'd be nice if you came down stairs to me making you a sexy breakfast." He went to flip a piece of bacon that popped a splash of grease hitting his abdomen "Ouch!" He let out
"But it's actually less sexy and more painful then I imagined" he turned around to face her
Barbara grinned and stepped forward "Its okay I'm not really hungry for breakfast anyways"
"Well I'm almost done with it, the bacon is done and the pancake batter is in the fridge all we have to do is heat up the pan" he pointed his thumb toward the refrigerator
Barbara stepped forward and reached around him turning off the stove and moving the bacon from the burner "We can eat breakfast later, right now I'm kind of in the mood for something else" she grinned placing a hand on his bare chest
Dick chuckled he turned and began heading toward the stairs he immediately took notice that Barbara wasn't following him and looked at her "Babs the bedroom is this way" he grinned pointing up the stairs
"Yeah but the closet is this way" she bit her lip and flashed him a mischievous grin.
Dick smiled and headed toward her she giggled running toward the hall closet. Dick caught up with her and grabbed her pulling her into the closet and shutting the door behind him. He pressed her up against the wall and kissed her tenderly
"Do you know which closet this is hunk wonder?" Barbara whispered as Dick sucked on her neck
Dick grinned and looked up at her "Of course, it's the same one we had our first kiss in when we were 14" he kissed her lips she kissed him back, Dick ran his hand down her thigh "By the way, when did you get a Garter tattoo? It's very sexy" he whispered in her ear as he began to nibble her ear lobe.
"About 3 months ago" she said as she ran her hands through his hair and gasped as he began sucking on her neck again.
"Well I love the color, blue is a hot color on you. I also love my new nickname Hunk wonder has such a better ring to it then Boy wonder"
Barbara grinned and pulled his pants the rest of the way down only to unveil that he didn't put any underwear on. Dick chuckled "What is it?" He asked capturing her lips and holding her close he reached his hand under the button up and began kneading her breast earning a moan from both of them
"I put panties on " she gasped
"Well maybe we should change that" Dick growled pressing her further back against the closet wall.
He was about to begin unbuttoning his shirt off of her when he heard the sound of the closet door open "Oh my god!" A stunned voice said the two quickly whipped around to see Tim standing in the doorway in shock. Dick pushed Barbara behind him "I'm blind! " Tim screeched
Dick realized he was still naked and picked up his sweats to cover his groin area "Tim get out "he barked
"I'm too shocked to move...and I'm still blind" he stated in a monotone voice
Dick quickly slipped his pants back on and walked to Tim grabbing him by the wrist he pulled him down the hall "Let go of me! I don't know where your hands have been or worse your fingers" Tim fought Dicks grasp and shuddered at the thought
Finally Dick released him "You didn't see anything" Dick stated
Tim shook his head "What, so you two are fuck buddies or something" he asked harshly
Dick shook his head "no"
"Then what are you?" He asked in an aggravated tone
Dick was quiet for a moment "We are...Why are you here anyways? I thought you were going to be at your dads the rest of the weekend" he attempted to change the subject
" My old man doesn't care about me why do you think Batman let me be Robin without me being a true orphan, or why Jim Gordon has knowingly let me live here with Bruce for the past year without him being my legal guardian. I got there and he was already passed out drunk, he didn't get up tile 3pm yesterday and then he started drinking again only to leave me at his house by myself for the rest of the night while he went out parting. He came home with 2 women who looked like hookers last night and this morning I woke up to him passed out on the couch so I left " he explained
Dick looked at his brother sadly "Tim I'm so sorry"
Tim shrugged "It's okay, but you would think after a guy hasn't seen his son in over 6 months he'd make some sort of attempt to spend time with him" he attempted to say in a brave face.
Dick shook his head "Come here" he pulled him into a hug and rubbed comforting circles on his back.
As he hugged Tim, Barbara stepped out of the closet "I'm going to go change" she mouthed not wanting to disturb the moment. Dick nodded in response
Tim pulled away from the hug first "Come on let's go to the kitchen Alfred left us some pancake batter and I made bacon" Dick told him leading him to the kitchen.
Tim sat on a bar stool sipping on a cup of coffee that Dick had made for him, he was beginning to feel a little bit better now that he was back home.
Dick began to pour the first pancake onto the hot pan. Barbara walked down the stairs and gave Tim a casual smile "Hey Timmy" she said ruffling the 15 year olds hair and taking a seat next to him
"Ummm hey Barbara" Tim said avoiding her eyes
Dick laughed "Tim you can look at her, it's not like you saw anything of hers" he teased
Tim shook his head "I'm still scarred by that" he stated
Dick walked over placing a heart shaped pancake in front of Tim "You're kidding me right?" He glared at his brother. Dick let out a chuckle and turned back to the stove to flip the new set of hot cakes.
Barbara leaned in closer to Tim "All kidding aside Tim what did Dick tell you about us?" She asked resting a hand on his shoulder
Tim looked up at his brother who was holding two plates of pancakes that he assumed were for himself and Barbara "He didn't tell me anything"
Barbara looked at Dick who shrugged "We haven't exactly talked about what we are " he placed the plate down in front of her and laid a hand on hers "I mean I know what I want to be though" She smiled at him "But what about the team, and with you being the girlfriend of Bruce Wayne's adopted son it could target you as a kidnapping prospect" he said with concern as he walked around the counter closer to her.
"Like I'm not already a kidnapping target as it is being the commissioner's daughter, and I know what you mean with the team it'd be completely unprofessional for me to date the boss"
Dick nodded and leaned his forehead against hers "What if we just date but keep it a secret between us" Barbara whispered
Dick nodded "That sounds like a very good and sexy idea Ms. Gordon." He leaned forward capturing her lips
Tim gagged and pushed the remainder of his breakfast away "I'm still here"
Dick and Barbara pulled apart and looked at the current Robin "Sorry Tim boy, you can keep it a secret right? "Barbara pleaded
Tim rolled his eyes "I guess"
Barbara jumped up giving him a side hug "Thank you" she kissed his cheek
"Yeah thanks bro" Dick reached over ruffling his hair
"Yeah yeah just don't do any of that cutesy couple stuff around me anymore" Tim said as he straightened out his hair.
Dick glanced at his phone then took a bite of pancakes "I gotta go change, Wallys coming over" he said with a mouthful of food.
"Whys Wally coming over?" Tim asked curiously
Dick shrugged "I guess him and Artemis think I'm lonely with everyone gone this weekend"
Barbara smiled "I'll go drive around a little bit text me when they get here and I'll come back" she gave Dick a quick hug before he walked up the stairs to change
Tim spun around in the chair "Oh I get it, Wally and Artemis don't know you two had a little sleep over" he pointed out
Barbara nodded "And they won't find out right" she looked at him sternly
Tim held his hands up on defense "I won't say anything about you being with him I swear"
She flashed him a smile and walked out the door.
10 minutes later
Artemis and Wally walked into the manor helping theme selves in. Dick hadn't come back down from his room yet. Wally ran into the room and smiled "Tim Timothy! I didn't know you'd be home" he grinned grabbing Dicks remaining pancake and stuffing it into his mouth.
"Yeah things sorta happened with my dad and I decided to come home" he explained not wanting to go back into detail.
Artemis rested a hand on the boys shoulder "I'm sorry to hear that sweetie"
Tim shrugged "Its fine I'm over it"
Dick made his way down the stairs "Hey Walls hey Arty" he grinned giving Wally a high five and Artemis a quick hug.
"Where's Barb I figured she'd be here by now." Artemis said looking around the kitchen
Tim shot Dick a secretive knowing smirk Dick playfully shoved him "She's on her way over she should be here soon."
Artemis smiled "Well I hope you told her to bring her bathing suit cause Wally and I brought ours , we really want to swim" she said holding up a bag.
Dick nodded "I think she actually left one here from last time she came over to swim" he told her. His phone vibrated and he glanced at it "She's here now anyways" he said
As if on cue Barbara walked through the doors "Hey Wally Hey Arty!" She smiled rushing into the kitchen and embracing them both in a hug at the same time
"Hey girl it's been a while! What's new?" Artemis asked
Barbara hopped up on the counter "Not much, graduated high school, and starting college in the fall but in the meantime I'm at full time work patrolling Gotham and working with these two along with the rest of the ole team" she explained
Artemis nodded "Nothing much is new with Wally and I either, just work and school, you know boring civilian stuff"
Barbara smiled "You two need to come visit the mountain. Everyone misses you so much!" She told them
Dick nodded in agreement
"We'd like to...we just have to find the time. But we're here now" Wally told them
Tim nodded "Yeah let's go swimming!" He jumped down from the barstool
"Yeah Timboy is right let's go swimming, pick a room and get changed" Dick said as they all headed up the stairs
An hour later.
Barbara was on Dicks shoulders and Artemis was on Wally's they were in the middle of a game of chicken with Tim playing the part of the referee.
Artemis and Barbara held onto each others arms pushing back and forth, suddenly Artemis quit and tilted her head to the side looking at Barbara's neck. Barbara took advantage of this opportunity and pushed Artemis into the water
"Yes victory!" Barbara screamed throwing her hands up in the air and falling into the water.
When she came back up Artemis had already resurfaced "gotcha!" Dick shot a teasing grin at Artemis and Wally
"Yeah yeah, come here Barbara" Artemis waved Barbara gave a confused look but obliged and swam toward her Artemis reached her hand up and ran it along Barbara's neck "Where were you last night girl?" She smirked at her
Barbara pushed herself a little bit away "I was nowhere, had patrol and that's about it. Why do you ask?"
Wally noticed what Artemis was talking about an amused smile formed on his face
"Guys leave Barbara alone we met up here last night went on patrol and she went home" Dick defended
Artemis shook her head "Hate to break it to you Nightwing, but I think Barb her might have went somewhere else either before or after your patrol" she swam forward and ran her fingers across the bruises on Barbara's neck.
"Damn Barbara what did you have sex with a vampire?" She asked pointing out the multiple hickies that lined her neckline
"He probably wasn't far from it" Dick chimed on earning a glare from Barbara
She brought her hand to her neck and rubbed it "Did the makeup wash off that bad?" She asked Artemis and Tim nodded
"Well we can say the same for Dickie boy over here, look or his back it looks like he got attacked by a mountain lion" he said turning Dick around to reveal his scratched up bare back. Barbara looked down and blushed
"I'm getting out because I don't want to relive this again." Tim stated he began to make his way toward the steps of the pool but was stopped by Wally
"Wait you know who Dick was with?" he asked
Tim nodded "Yeah, I walked in on him this morning scarred me for life" he stated
Dick glared at him he hadn't said Barbara's name but Wally and Artemis were close enough to figuring it out without Tim's comment "Well you should have knocked" Dick told him in his Nightwing tone
Tim rolled his eyes and wrapped the towel around his body "Since when do you knock to go into a closet? I was looking for my jacket so I could go for a walk and clear my head" he protested "I'm going to my room to take a nap I haven't slept well all weekend" Tim told him he walked back into the house
There was a minute of awkward silence before Wally broke it "Wait...closet. And you have scratches on your back then Barbara has love bites. And you two have always had a history of closets." He looked toward Artemis for her to continue she looked at him for a moment processing what he was saying a big smile formed on her face
"You two hooked up! Well it's about time!" She splashed Barbara who smiled at her
"You can't tell anyone. It's supposed to be a secret Tim wasn't even supposed to know" Barbara informed them.
Artemis and Wally both nodded "I promise I won't say anything" she held up a hand in a mock pledge the three of them looked at Wally
"Wally..." Dick said sternly
"Fine I promise I won't say anything to anyone. Because otherwise I know Artemis would kill me" he grumbled
Barbara sighed "Thank you"
Wally nodded "No problem, trust me your secret is safe with us. We've been shipping you two since you were 14. We don't want to risk anything to ruin it now that it's finally happened" he told her she smiled and hugged him quickly
A little while later Barbara and Artemis were laying out on the deck chairs soaking in the sun while Dick, Tim and Wally played football in the grass outside the screened in porch.
"So I know you have to be dying to tell someone the details about last night, spill girl!" Artemis gushed
Barbara turned toward her and smiled "I thought you'd never ask! We were in the kitchen last night doing dishes and had, had some moments. I turned away and tried to push him away like I always do because my stupid mind told me I needed to keep our feelings in friendships boundaries. I guess Dick finally had enough of the back and forth situations because he stepped behind me pulled me to him and kissed my shoulder. Then he whispers in this super sexy voice how he has a theory on how long it'll take for a 'female best friend' to admit her feelings to her 'male best friend'. He continued by saying it would be in 3 seconds. As he was counting down he kissed my neck and cheek. I couldn't control myself anymore before he got to one I turned around and kissed him the rest just happened" she gushed
Artemis let out a small squeal "Oh my god that is the sweetest thing ever. I guess all the stories I hear about Dick are true, he is a total sweetheart. No wonder he gets so many girls" she said as she watched the boys jumping around chasing each other. She caught what she had said and quickly turned to Barbara "Barb I didn't mean it like that!"
Barbara shook her head "Artemis its fine, I know Dick has a little reputation as a playboy. But I'm okay with that because I know to him I'm not just some other girl. I'm his best friend he's not going to just leave me when he gets bored." She watched Dick toss the football to Wally as Tim jumped up and attempted to catch it.
Artemis nodded "I agree, even when you weren't on the team and he was a scrawny little 13 year old boy he'd always talk about his best friend in Gotham, he's always cared deeply for you" she smiled at her female friend
Barbara jumped up "Come on lets go play with the guys, we can show them how it's done"
Artemis grinned "Heck yeah girl!" they sprinted toward the screen door and toward the yard ready to take on the guys
