Kori's POV
Light filtered through the windows as I slowly awoke from my peaceful slumber. I yawned as I remembered that I wasn't at my own house, I was at Dick's house. Memories of passion and love filled my head at the thought of last night's events. I rolled over in bed to say good morning to my man, to find that there was nobody there.
Where's Dick? I sat up from bed and looked around the bedroom, it was completely empty. That's funny, he never gets out of bed without trying to wake me up first. My thoughts were disturbed when I started hearing footsteps coming up the stairs.
Soon I saw Dick standing at the doorway so smiled at him and said, "Good morning handsome, where—"
"Kori, get up and get dressed we're going somewhere right now." Richard had such an emotionless face, not the usual face after a fantastic night of pleasure.
"Dick, what's wrong? Where are we—"
"Now...please." He looked so serious all of a sudden like something was really wrong.
He turned around and disappeared from sight. I jumped out of bed, into some clothes and in his bathroom, to freshen up a bit.
As I stared at myself in the mirror, I wondered what had gotten into him. I mean everyone has their mood swings but, nobody ever could figure out was up with Dick. I mean I guess that was one of the reasons why I was attracted to him, because he was so cool, and completely mysterious.
But after almost One year of dating, his mysterious-ness questioned my love for him. It was more of a question...
What makes him different than the other men I've dated?
What makes me so attracted to him?
Does the fact that he has never opened up to me keep me coming back, or is it just getting old?
Could I spend the rest of my life with him? To be honest, I wasn't really sure...
All these questions just fogged my mind as I finished putting my make-up on. I walked back into the bedroom, made the bed, put on a sweater, and grabbed my purse. I took one last look in the mirror then closed the door to meet Dick downstairs.
-
I walked downstairs to see Dick sitting on the couch with his head in his hands. It was really weird. What in the hell was going on? He looked up when he noticed I was downstairs.
"You ready? Let's go."
I put my hands on my hips, " You want to tell me why were going somewhere at 8 o'clock, or better yet, where?" I wasn't going anywhere without some answers.
"No questions. We have to go now." He wouldn't even look at me, instead he just grabbed the car keys and made his way towards the door. He turned around when he noticed that I hadn't even moved.
He sighed, "Come on Kori, we've got to leave."
I raised an eyebrow, "I'm not going anywhere until you give me some answers."
He walked over towards me and held my hands tight, "Please Kori, I need you. I need to show you something. Can you please just come with me?"
His voice was pleading, how can I deny him that? I sighed, "All right, if it's that important."
He turned around, still holding me by the hands, and practically threw me out of the house. We silently made our way to the car and drove out heading out of town.
The car was comfortably silent, my mind racing, trying to figure out what was going on in Dick's head. I wonder what he wants to show me. Maybe he's taking me somewhere romantic, or better yet, we're running off to get married. Haha That'll be the day. Or maybe something was really wrong, like someone was hurt or something.
My thoughts dispersed as we came to a stop at A...Flower shop. What the hell? Was I really right about the marriage thing? He stepped out, entered the flower shop, and came out about 5 minutes later with two beautiful red roses. He stepped back into the car, and I decided to turn my head, not asking him any questions, because I was about one-hundred percent sure that he wouldn't tell me anything anyway.
He started up the car, and left the flower shop. As we went back onto the road, I looked over at him. His face was filled with sorrow, and I couldn't help but thinking, have I ever seen him this upset before? Cause this was about as much sadness as I could bear, especially when you have no idea what's going on.
-
We pulled off the main road onto a country road, I saw a sign but I couldn't read it. We continued through the country road until the wheels finally met the pavement and I could take a good look around. A Cemetery. Okay I didn't see that one coming. I was immediately worried, thinking that somebody had died or something.
It wasn't until we had found a parking spot that reality had dawned on me. Oh my god, his parents. He took me to his parents. I couldn't believe that he was taking me here. I mean nobody knew about his parents. Not even his closest friends. The only people that knew anything about Dick's parents are Bruce and Alfred, and they never spook anything about it.
I suddenly turned to him, "Oh Dick, you don't have to do this. I don't have to be here." I didn't want him to do something he didn't want to do. I knew so little about his parents because I came into his life just after his parents passed away. I don't even know how they died.
"Kori, please come with me. I want you to come with me. There are two very special people that I want you to meet." He took the flowers out of the car as he stepped out, he took a deep breath. He then closed the door came over to my side, opened the door expecting me to get out.
There was no way that this is happening. He wouldn't tell anyone about his parents. I don't even know there names! I turned to get out of the car and just stared at him, not able to move.
He knelt down and came face to face with me. "Kori, I love you with all my heart. I really don't feel like you understand how strong my love is for you. I thought to myself, if there is one person that I can trust with the history of my parents, I know without a doubt that it's you."
I leaned in closer to him, "And your sure you won't regret this?"
"I promise." And then he kissed me. It was a short simple kiss that meant the world to me. I smiled as he took my hand and closed the car door behind me. Hand in hand, we started are climb up a peaceful hill.
This place is so beautiful. The place was filled with such disposition, a light breeze filling the air. When we reached the top of the hill, i took a second to look around, taking in the scenery before resting my eyes on the tombstones laid before me.
John and Mary Grayson
Their Love, like a river,
will cut a new path wherever
it meets an obstacle.
I just stared the tombstone as I could feel the tears coming. I stood at the foot of their graves as Dick walked over and dusted of their tombstone. Then he took his time putting the pretty roses on their graves. He just stared at the graves for what seemed like hours, when in reality it was only about five minutes. Then he slowly stood up and looked at me, kind of smiling too.
He looked back at the grave and cleared his throat, "Hey Mom, Dad, it's your son Richard. I hope you guys are doing okay...I remember this time of day, Mom you would be trying to wake me up and I remember you were never able to succeed at it." he kinda laugh softly to himself before he continued, "But your son is all grown up now and he gets up bright and early every morning. As you can see I'm not alone this time. I brought someone whom is very special to me. She means the entire world to me.This is woman I could see spending the rest of my life with. Her name is Kori Anders and she is the most beautiful woman, inside and out, to ever grace my presence." He walked over towards me and put an arm around my waist. "I just wish you could actually see her."
He looked down and I wrapped him in a big hug. I never had met his parents, and I was crying. I felt so bad, nobody ever deserves to have both of their parents killed. We held each other close and he slowly pulled away and I looked at his face. His face looked so soft, but he wasn't crying. Instead he wiped my tears away and said, "Please Kori, don't feel bad for me, don't pity me either."
I cleared my throat, "I know. It's just nobody deserves losing both their parents like this. And the way you talk to them, you said Richard, and you never call yourself that or let people call you that."
He sighed, "I guess there are some things you need to know about my parents. May be I should start out by saying that today was there10th anniversary of their deaths." He took out a picture from his coat pocket and showed me the picture, "These are my wonderful parents John and Mary." I took the picture from his hands, What a wonderful looking couple, simply perfect. It looked like a studio picture and they sure did compliment each other perfectly.
"Your mom, she's so beautiful."
He nodded in agreement, "Yeah she reminds me of you actually. I know she's my mother but she could always see right through me. She always knew when something was up. She could always make me feel better with every word that came out of her mouth. What I'm trying to say is that your care for me reminds me of my mother, and it's really nice to have that back in my life."
I thought that it was the right time to ask him the one question I've been dying to ask him, "Dick, what happened to them?"
He exhaled really loudly, "They died in a car crash. My dad was driving my mother home from one of those fancy parties, and a drunk driver crashed into them at full speed, killing them both instantaneously."
I put my hand over my mouth, that's horrible.
"And my parents, they called me Richard, but after they passed away, I couldn't bare hearing that name come out of anyone else's mouth."
I nodded and hugged him again. This has got to be so hard for him. But I have to hand it to him, he sure knows how deal with it. He doesn't cry, not a single tear. And he hasn't told anyone about this. Only me. I was the first person that he even spoke about his parents too. And that means so much to me.
"Dick, you have always been so bottled up, and you have no idea how special this is to me. To see you finally open up to me, it makes me see how much love I really do have for you. I mean I'll admit that I wasn't sure about my love for you at first. But to see this side of you, I know that I really do love you." I stared deep into his deep blue eyes.
Then he slowly leaned in and kissed me. The passion, the way he made me shiver at his touch, the way he could make me so weak, and the way could make my heart completely stop. I knew I could spend the rest of my life with this very man.
"Kori, come live with me. Sell your apartment, and come be with me." His voice was pleading for me to come stay with him.
"Of Course I will, I love you."
He smiled and hugged me, lifting me off the ground. We stared at each other and he took my hand. "Let's go home." He turned around one last time and looked at his parents graves, then looked deep into the skies. He felt a strong wind wash up on him and Kori. He looked down at his hands to see the picture fly open, as if his parents were looking right at him with those perfect smiles.
Oh sooooo sad!!!!I hope you guys enjoyed it! I know I enjoyed writing it!
Haha you guys might have thought that I was gonna have him propose to Kori. But it didn't really seem right so I didn't. Besides...COUGHthatisthetopicofmynextoneshotCOUGH...lol

In these AU fictions:
Do you Think-
A.)Kori should be completely innocent
B.)Kori should be kind of innocent
C.)Kori Should NOT be innocent at all.
D.)It doesn't matter
Why?-i have this idea for a new AU story, and in this story Kori is NOT innocent. Like not at all. and if that bothers people then i wont post the summary. but if people don't mind her being a bad girl, then i will post the Summary on my next one-shot.
