A/N: Please. Homework. Stawp. :c Anyway, thanks for all the birthday wishes guys! If you guys follow me on Tumblr or have my Facebook, you guys know that my incredibly awesome teacher got me a Batman letterman jacket and Batman cupcakes. ;) I had this written two days ago but because of real life, I couldn't post it until now. :c Here's some Bruce observation, which kind of fulfills piggythelaw's Bruce request (not really, but bear with me here :c)?

BRUCE WAYNE

As Bruce Wayne, I was no stranger to relationships: long-term and short-term. ... Mostly short-term, especially concerning romantic ones.

Platonic relationships are a bit longer, especially concerning Alfred, Dick, and Verena. They are, without a doubt, my family; no blood is needed to prove it.

Friendships... I count very little that are close to me, despite Bruce Wayne's social life. The only ones I'd trust would be those that know my secret, and no one else.

While my relationships were either one or the other, Dick and Verena's were all three: they're best friends, siblings, and recently, boyfriend/girlfriend.

It's about time. I give it two days before it's everywhere.

I have degrees in Biology, Computer Sciences, Advanced Chemistry, History, Engineering, and spoke over fifteen languages and yet I could not understand Dick and Verena's relationship. [1]

It would make a lot more sense if they were psychically linked, but they weren't.

They had a familial relationship towards one another, since the very beginning. Dick was protective over Verena once I had assigned him to watch her, growing attached to her, even though I told him not to. They were closer than twins, and where one was, 99% of the time, the other was as well.

Their friendship ran thicker than Wally and Dick's and Roy and Verena's combined. Because of our line of work, the first thing came above all else was safety.

Their trust in each other was unbreakable. Even with a gun at point blank in one of their faces, because they believed in each other, they continued on, knowing the other would be completely safe. The second they realized one was in a quagmire, all would be dropped to keep the other safe.

And then there's their romantic relationship. I probably should be frowning upon it because Dick was only thirteen, turning fourteen in December, and Verena was only twelve. If it didn't work out, their relationship could be ruined forever.

But I just couldn't. Unlike me, these two will have a relationship that will last a lifetime. I'm not saying it'll be easy, but if a couple could survive through anything, I'd bet everyone on this couple.

A light, familiar giggle filled the room, and I looked up from my computer screen to see Dick talking to Verena quietly in her ear as they worked on some paperwork I had given them. The corner of my lips twitched when I saw that interaction.

Dick's lips were curled into a smirk and he had a hand resting on Verena's shoulder, with his thumb rubbing small circles on the upper limb.

"How far are you two?" I inquired from where I sat.

Dick and Verena looked up, snapping out of their little world. "Almost done," they replied in unison confidently.

I smiled and patted a stack of papers that were about a foot tall. "Good, here's another pile."

The two groaned, for once acting their age.
