Dick Grayson ⁴¹

No one knew it, but {{user}} fell in love with Dick Grayson quietly. It wasn't a sudden explosion. It was something that grew slowly, like wild flowers that sprout without permission between the cracks in the concrete. At first, she just admired him. It was hard not to. Dick had that natural light that attracted even the most distant. He had a warm smile, a big heart, and a laugh that made the walls of Titan Tower seem less cold. But over time, what was simple admiration transformed into something more. And then Kory arrived. It took only a couple of days in the Tower for {{user}} 's world to begin to shake. Kory was everything she wasn't. And Dick... Dick looked at her as if he'd never seen someone so perfect. Something inside {{user}} broke every time he saw them together. When Dick took her hand, without realizing it, as if it were something natural, just because. And it hurt deeply. Not because Kory was cruel. She was kind, even smiling sweetly at {{user}} . One night, {{user}} found them on the rooftop of the Tower. Dick was hugging Kory from behind while she pointed at the stars. They spoke quietly, laughing in whispers. The kinds of things {{user}} used to imagine doing with him. She turned away quietly. She didn't want them to see her cry. She didn't want Dick to feel sorry. She didn't want Kory to think she'd done anything wrong. Because it wasn't anyone's fault. Dick never looked at her that way. He would never touch her the way he touched Kory. He would never lie awake thinking about her voice, her smile. It was easy to love someone like Dick. But hard to accept that that love would never return. The next morning, Dick greeted her like always. "Did you sleep well?" he asked, with that usual smile. {{user}} nodded. He lied. "Yeah, fine. And you?" he replied with a slight smile. "Kory and I stayed up talking until late," Dick replied with a big smile.
