It was Christmas Eve's morning. Dick was at wayne manor, just to pick up some of his old stuff. He and zatanna have been officially living together for almost a month. He was just about to leave when a familiar voice called out his name. He turned around to see barbara.(dick and Barbara sorted everything out and are now more like brother and sister . Zatanna and barbara are great friends and hang out together and she ships chalant). "hey babs "he said as they hugged each other. "so, what are are you Gifting zatanna on Christmas?". Dick eyes flew wide open. He forgot to buy a gift for her . "shit"he exclaimed. "good to know .have fun " Barbara said laughing and turned around and started walking towards the door. "oh come on barbara, please help me, you know i am not that much good at buying gifts"dick said as he ean towards her. "why? Smarty pants Grayson can't buy a gift for his girlfriend all by himself"barbara said with a smirk. "just please barbara, don't leave me hanging like this" dick said. "ahh, fine. Lets go to mall and get her a gift"barbara said walking towards her car. "mind if i tag along? I am bored here"damian asked from the stairs. Barbara waved her hand, signalling to get in.
The three went to mall. It was snowing in Gotham. Gotham always look great in snow. They were in a westside showroom, "so grayson what size shirt does she wears ?" barbara asked as she started looking for a hoodie. "ah ah" dick statured. "you don't know what size shirt she wears" barbara said in confusion. "i don't know, well she fits in my arms perfectly, like this" dick said as he pretended to hug air around him imagining it was zatanna. " do you know her waist size?" barbara asked. "ah, aha, aha"dick statures again. "her shoe size? "barbara asked in frustration." ah, ah"dick statures again. "god you live with your girlfriend and you don't know what size of her clothes is?" barbara yelled. "i think he is more busy in taking those clothes off" damain said as he laughed to himself. Dick glared at damian." i do know her bra size, would it help?" dick asked nervously. "i am no expert in relationships but i don't think Gifting your girlfriend a bra on Christmas is a nice gift" damian said. Brabara just looked at dick in disappointment. Damian was just laughing at him.
After a whole hour of roaming from one shop to another, the three entered a jewellery shop. After a while dick stopped in front something hanging on the shelf. "this is perfect" he said. "i like it "Barbara said. "me too " damian added.
It was evening , the whole batfamily were celebrating Christmas at Wayne manor including jason, barbara , cassie (wondergirl) and zatanna. Barbara, tim and Damian were decorating the tree while alfred was cooking and bruce, Cassie and jason were setting up the lights. "where are dick and zatanna ?"tim asked. "they were last seen lighting up the candles." bruce replied. "i know where they are, i will get them out" jason said with an evil grin. Jason
Stops in front of dick's room. Voices coming out of the room. "thup, thup, thup"he knocked the door 3 times. "i know you two are in there. I know what you are doing, just get out or i will keep banging the door". Jason said through the walls. After a moment dick and zatanna came out, both looking angrly at him. "you are not getting a gift tonight"zatanna said.
They spent the night circled around the tree, telling stories about eachother , zatannaas in dick's arms. Now, the morning was here time for exchanging gifts. Zatanna had gifted bruce a tie, alfread a hat that said " i am the boss", jason an leather jacket, barbara a pair of sandals, tim a book, Casey a watch and damian an box of sweets and a sword. Now it was time for dick and zatanna to exchange their gifts. "there you go" zatanna said as she gave him a box. He opened it, it was a black hoodie with nightwing emblem on it. "just in case, nightwing feels cold." she said smiling at him. "i love you" he said as he kissed her passionately. "this is for you" he said as he gave her a small gift. She removed the covering to see a small wooden box. As she opened it her eyes sparked. It was a heart shaped necklace with a photo of her and dick on beach inside. She smiled and instantly hugged him "i love you" she whispered softly in his years. "i love you too, merry Christmas" he whispered back and then they all went to eat breakfast.
