[ the kissing, the breathing, the words that steve hadn't expected. it was enough to make him dizzy, so he puts a hand around the back of dick's neck, pressed to him for gravity. he takes in a breath, nodding, eyes meeting dick's as he plants a kiss on his forehead. he plays with the fine hairs at the back of dick's neck.
this is nightwing he's been dating, and bruce wayne is... batman. it makes sense, it does, but there's something still so shocking in it that steve can hardly believe it. he kisses dick again, then listens to his confession. so many places, so many people - steve feels overwhelmed again, but he holds onto dick. solid, firm. ]
Why did you come back to Gotham? Just to be closer to Bruce?
[ he gets that. sometimes it's hard to leave, and steve certainly understands. his eyes are kissed and steve melts into it, instantly feeling better. he feels so safe with dick, and as he continues - steve blinks at him, brows knitted in surprise. dick's words are so touching, so - ]
I love you. I love you so much, sometimes it scares me. I've never felt like this, and I know what love is, I know I've felt it - but this is so... perfect. You're perfect for me. You're everything - and I love you more than you could ever understand.
[It's in the solidness of Steve's arms, against the firmness of his chest and within the constant of his heartbeat that Dick finds peace-- the peace that has eluded him for so many years. It's not something that the vigilante can easily explain. He's done so many things wrong through the years, but this is the one thing he's done right. Steve. The name is a song written across his entire universe.
Tender digits course over the perfection that are Steve's cheekbones, and along the soft tufts of hair that come down before his ears. He knows that Steve has no idea how attractive, how devastating he is to Dick. One look sends him spinning without recourse. Dark eyes meet those across from him with a small smile. ]
There was some tragedy here a while ago when Scarecrow tried to take over the city, and that's when I ... when I was killed and raised from the dead in the Lazarus pit. After that, the Titans, my small group of teens I'd helped out, had to go to Metropolis to stop the apocalypse... twice. And when we'd done that, everyone went their own ways. Bruce had tried to kill himself when Jason and I almost died, and he's mostly back to full strength, but I decided to help out. Now that both Bruce and Jason patrol the streets of Gotham, I can go anywhere we want. I happen to be here for now....
[There was a small shrug of shoulders. He wanted Steve to know that he wasn't held down to living in Gotham. They could go anywhere they wanted, the pair of them. Dick was completely in love with the man in his arms. He couldn't have put his feelings into better words than the ones Steve professed. Dick sighed deeply and continued to caress Steve's cheeks, then his chest. If they didn't have more to discuss, he might have done more. ]
I feel the same way. You are everything to me. I'd go anywhere, do anything for you. What I have, what I do is for you. I am for you. I am yours, completely. That is why I wanted to have this talk. No more secrets.
