I stirred awake softly and squinted my eyes, trying to get adjusted to the light the television radiated in the dark room. Ugh, Dick and I must've fallen asleep again. I glanced at the clock and saw that we had dozed off for about half an hour.
We were both on the large, sectional couch of the television room. The couch was actually large enough for the both of us to lay next to each other side-by-side and still be comfortable. Though, if I attempted to roll right now, I'd fall right out.
I reached for the remote blindly, and looked for the power button. I found it with ease and almost let out a sigh of relief when the television shut off, encasing the room in darkness and no longer blinding me.
I felt Dick move, and I moved slightly. Dick, in response, let go of me slightly, just holding me loosely, enough to make me more comfortable.
I smiled and rolled onto my side, looking at Dick.
He was laying face-up on his back, and he breathed softly with his mouth slightly open. His chest moved up and down in a rhythmic pattern, and his other hand was resting smoothly against his chest.
I smiled softly. He looked so adorable and so much like an angel. He had a devil of a personality, but I knew in reality, he was pure-hearted. Well… for the most part. He is, after all, a guy and he likes his mischief.
My eyes traced over his strong jaw, which was slowly getting sharper as he lost his baby fat. From his messy, unkempt hair to his quite pretty toes, Dick was the personification of human perfection… in my eyes at least.
He was the most handsome, adorable, cute, insert-another-nice-adjective-here male I've ever met, and to say I wasn't attracted to him was a total, out-right lie. I liked him, there, I admit it. But no one else can know.
Barbara liked Dick, and quite frankly, they made a beautiful couple. They were the same age, and Barbara was tall, slender, and all around beautiful. In comparison, I was short, had more muscle than slenderness, and I knew I was physically attractive on some level, but not like Barbara. After all, I wasn't fully developed like her yet.
But that can't stop a girl from hoping, right?
I found myself leaning forward, and my eyelids fluttered shut softly. I pressed my lips softly against Dick's warm cheek and let them rest there for a while.
I felt stirring and quickly pulled back. I pulled back so quickly that I fell back, falling on the floor. Oh crap. Better get out of here before Dick saw me.
I scrambled to my feet and rushed out of the room, closing the door behind me.
DICK GRAYSON
My eyelids fluttered open, and I sat up quietly. I placed my hand over my cheek, unable to stop the grin that was slowly creeping on to my face.
She didn't need to know I was awake the whole time.
A/N: I feel Verena is confident in a lot of thing, but love isn't one of them... well, romantic love anyway. I know Dick kissed Verena on the lips in Black Falcon, but I feel V's not THAT confident to kiss Dick on the lips, so... yeah, the cheek. :) Request/review~ :3
