( that dick's used to being a leader, the responsible one. he's used to being bruce's support, the one who keeps everything from falling apart. he'd gotten that put on him long before bruce'd shoved more brats at him. )
But you can fall apart on me. ( he presses a small grin against dick's hair, keeping him close still. ) Your counterpart's the same way, y'know. Always there for every other damn person in the world, rarely gives himself any space. Sometimes when he's being particularly bitchy, I piss him off on purpose. He's got a hell of a temper, even if he's real good at hiding it. Sometimes, he just needs to let it out a little.
