ALFRED PENNYWORTH

As I was dusting the vases in Master Bruce's study, I stole a glance at the clock that was perched above the fireplace. My goodness, it was almost 9:30, yet there have been no sounds of Master Dick or Miss Verena waking.

Perhaps they were gone already?

I finished up Master Bruce's study, before heading upstairs to the young wards' rooms.

Master Dick's door was open ajar, and I peered inside. It was nice and clean, as usual, with the bed completely made, showing no signs of sleep.

I walked over to the door of Miss Verena's room, and knocked patiently.

"What is it?" I heard Miss Verena's sleepy voice call from the other side.

I twisted the doorknob, pushing at the door. Miss Verena was sitting up in the bed, leaning against the headboard, rubbing her left eye.

I spotted a lump next to her, and saw a tuff of black hair. Ah, so that's where Master Dick is.

"It is already 9:30," I declared. "Seeing as today is an off day, would you like some brunch later?"

"Belgian waffles," Master Dick muttered sleepily. He peered over the bed sheets and his cloudy grey-blue eyes looked at me. "Please?"

Miss Verena nodded in agreement. "That'd be lovely. You're the best, Alfred."

"But of course," I responded. "I shall make them in half an hour after my rounds around the mansion. Come down any time after that."

"Mhm…" Miss Verena nodded before sliding back under the sheets.

Master Dick's arm moved under the sheets and snaked around Miss Verena's waist as she settled herself back in bed. She let out a contented sigh and snuggled into Master Dick's chest.

From the looks of the movement, he also threw his leg over the young girl.

A small flitter of a smile appeared on my face.

The two were absolutely adorable. It was interesting to see how the two were so drawn to each other, whether it was conscious or unconscious. When one moved, the other moved.

I left the room without another word, closing the door behind me, leaving the two alone in their cuddling state.


A/N: I need a Dick Grayson to cuddle with. :( I suppose my Kaname body pillow will have to suffice. Now I'm off to make Belgian waffles because it's 2PM, I just woke up, and I'm starving. Review/request~! Also, don't forget to check out my poll if you haven't already! :D
