Summary
“It’s no fun if you’re simply wrapped around my finger like this,” Slade lamented.
And Dick had been expecting this from day one.
What he hadn’t expected was being able to tell that Slade had it just as fucking bad.
And all Dick could say, breathlessly, was, "I’m wrapped around your finger? Really?”"Slade, you would do anything for me. Anything. And you'd never ask for anything in return. Are you telling me you seriously thought, all this time, that you were the only one playing this game?"
--OR
Slade and Dick met back up during a job, and Slade may have started with intent to convince Dick to come back to his side... But somewhere along the line, the tables turned, and somehow Slade has ended up the one who can't say no to Dick.
And the worst part is probably that, while they're both completely aware of this and Slade has long-since made peace with the fact that he'll do anything Dick asks without hesitation, Dick always feels guilty when he uses it to his advantage. But there are some things, Slade guesses, that you just can't expect people like Dick to be okay with.
Emotional manipulation is one of them.
