Aster
Dick's POV
"Hey um Dick can I ask you something?" Barbra asks, a hint of nervousness in her voice. We were hanging out for the first time in a long time at the Manor, since I had been so busy with my hero stuff, between the Team and Gotham itself. I turn to face her, curious to what could have possibly flustered The Barbra Gordon.
"Just did Babs but you can ask me another one" I tease, giving her a wink. She rubs her arm nervously, something not lost on me, I could tell she was really unsure about herself. I mean we were best friends, just best friends, so I had to notice things like this.
Well you see I have this friend, a guy, and I kind of really like him but I don't know how to tell him. If he doesn't feel the same way I don't want it to ruin our friendship, and I don't know how to tell him... can you please help me?" she asks she bright blue gaze flitting away from mine. I feel my heart drop to the floor, I was hoping for something different because well... I kinda sorta really liked Babs... but I couldn't let her know that, no I had to help her because no matter what she was still my friend.
"Sure things Babs" I respond forcing my voice to sound cheery, and hiding my true sadness at the statement. I force a grin on my face, hoping Babs was to caught up with her own worries. "Why don't you practice on me and I can tell you if you're doing something wrong" I suggest before pausing "what's this guys name anyway?" I ask. Because I swear if this guy broke Babs heart he would be getting a little visit from Robin, because Babs only deserved the best.
"Um... uh... Alex he's not from around here though" Babs responds quickly. I just go with it and stand, trying to control my own emotions, and walk into the open area behind the two chairs where we had been sitting, turning off the television neither of us were really watching anyway. She joins me in the area and I begin, changing my voice slightly.
"Hey Barbra! It feels like forever since I've seen you!" I say trying not to stare into her brilliant blue eyes, knowing I could easily get lost in them.
"Uh hi Alex yeah it really has I missed you! And um I wanted to tell you something" she responds and I shift my gaze to her flowing red locks, wondering what it would be like to run my fingers through them.
"Really Barbra what is it?" I ask stepping forward unconsciously and gently placing my hand on her arm, "You know you can tell me anything" I say truthfully, again gazing in her eyes, looking down on her slightly. I had become taller then her over the last year, a huge contrast to when I was 13 and had to look up at her.
"uh..." she says, her blue eyes filled with nervousness. We are so close and I feel my body temperature rise, suddenly I lean forward and press my lips to hers but I pull away as soon as I feel her tense beneath me. My eyes widen in horror as I realize what I had done.
"Oh my god! Babs I'm so sorry, I don't know what got into me. I mean with you and this Alex kid..." I exclaim but she steps forward and kisses me, wrapping her arms around my neck, and her eyes flick shut. I don't question her, unable to even think clearly, as I melt into the kiss, my hands resting themselves on her waist. I feel like an electric current is coursing through my body and it feels so amazing, but all too soon we are forced to pull apart for air. I take a few deep breaths, regaining enough air to speak. "B-but Alex?" I ask, I had a feeling he was fake but I wanted to be absolutely sure, besides I had to act clueless to protect my other side, at least for now, no matter how much I trusted Babs.
"Alex was made up, I just didn't know how to tell you. Damn it Dick you're so blind!" she exclaims. I pretend to look shocked but soon a smile breaks across my face.
"So you feel the same way?" I tease and she just rolls her eyes.
"Yes damn it Dick will you please just kiss me again?" she says impatiently, her arms finding their way around my neck again. I smirk slightly and comply, gently pressing my lips to hers. I feel her smile and I wrap my arms around her back, pulling her closer to me, our kiss increasing in intensity sending pleasing tingles down my spine. I carefully navigate towards the couch, out bodies pressed so close as we collapse onto it. The electricity returns and I feel Babs shiver against me, knowing she felt it to. Again we run out of air and pull apart, my face ending up in her red locks.
"I've wanted to do that for a long time" I whisper breathlessly into her hair, loving the silky smooth feel of it.
"Me too" she replies at the same volume, laying her head against my chest and closing her eyes, I follow her example, my eyes blinking shut, feeling happy and at peace for the first time in a long one. The kiss Zatanna had given my two years back was nothing compared to what me and Barbra had just shared. I feel her breathing slow and sense she had fallen asleep on me. I carefully pull out my phone, so not to awaken her, and text Wally. Not gonna make it to the Cave tonight. He replies almost instantly, perks of having superspeed. How come dude? A disaster in Gotham? I glance down at the sleeping red head, admiring the peaceful expression that graces her face, No definitely not a disaster in Gotham, I am totally feeling the aster, more so then in long time. I reply turning of my phone and placing it on the table above my head, before settling back against the couch cushions and again closing my eyes, joining the girl of my dreams in dreamland.
