I can make an exception.

[farcry]

Okay.

In that case, I was debating with myself whether you were the shampoo first or the body wash first type.

[theknightshift]

[ ... ]

You're serious?

[farcry]

Yeah. It matters cus I'm wondering if I'm there with you, in that big shower, do I get my fingers in your hair first? Or down your skin? Do you use liquid soap or solid?

[ can Bruce read the teasing smile on his face? ]

[theknightshift]

[ He absolutely can. ]

Funny that you think I would be concerned about that if you're there with me.

that icon, so CUTE

[farcry]

[ … ]

I’m being considerate because right after I get you clean I’d get you all dirty again.

it's that real smile

[theknightshift]

Shampoo first then bodywash. Since you're so considerate.

[farcry]

Can’t wait to get my fingers in your hair, Bruce, then touch every little bit of you with that fancy soap of yours. Think you could be patient for me?

[theknightshift]

I am patient. Since all I've been thinking about is you.

[farcry]

[ that’s—so surprisingly sweet. ]

Yeah? Been running through your mind nonstop?

I’m surprised I’m not exhausted.

[ badum-tssss. ]

Do you miss me?

[ never did he ever think he’d flirt with Bruce like this. ]

[theknightshift]

[ wow Dick that was terrible. You're lucky you're cute. ]

I do. When will you be back in town?

[farcry]

[ it’s how he gets away with most things, really. by being lucky he’s cute. ]

Wednesday. I’m meeting J for lunch.

[ i.e., he’s working on a case and wants Jason’s intel. though as soon as he sends the text, he wonders if he’s said too much. Bruce will no doubt read between the lines. ]

Why? Thinking about asking me out on a date?

[theknightshift]

[ There is a slight delay in his reply. Probably doesn't help that 'I said too much' feeling Dick is having. ]

Maybe I will. Dinner?

[farcry]

[ not at all. ]

You gotta know how to ask nicer than that, Bruce.

[theknightshift]

[ He almost sends something snide, but decides it's probably better to backspace that if he wants a date on Wednesday. ]

Would you join me for dinner?

[farcry]

[ alright. good enough. ]

Just name the place and the time.

[ how did he get here? Bruce is spying on him. tracked him without his permission, is messing with his case, yet he's angled invitation for a date and is agreeing.

he's more fucked than ever. ]

[theknightshift]

[ Possibly even more fucked after Wednesday. ]

I'll make the reservations and send it to you.

[farcry]

[ it looms over his head already. ]

Full service. At what cost?

[theknightshift]

It's on me.

[ Or on Dick. If he feels like he can't escape Bruce's looming presence. ]

[farcry]

[ haha. very funny. not. ]

You know what a date is, right, Bruce? It's different from an interrogation.

[theknightshift]

I don't plan to interrogate you. It's dinner.

[ Maybe ask a series of strategically placed questions to ascertain the nature of his lunch with Jay. But definitely not an interrogation. ]

[farcry]

You said it, Bruce. Don’t be salty when I hold you to it.

[ are they going to be having seafood for dinner? because he thinks things are starting to smell a little fishy. ]

[theknightshift]

You don't trust me?

[ He just wants to take him to dinner and maybe fuck a little before patrol. It's all fiiiine. ]

[farcry]

I trust you with my life. I trust you to fuck me good but I don’t know about everything else.

[ does he trust him with his feelings? to not try to manipulate him with all the new leverage Bruce now has against him? ]

Should I?

[theknightshift]

[ As much as he wouldn't want to, he isn't above using them against you. Manipulating them for an advantage. Sometimes it happens without him realizing it. But more often than not? He knows exactly what he's doing. It isn't safe to trust Bruce with your feelings. ]

You can.
