Chapter Text
It was a warm night, there was no news of a storm or rain which was quite unusual for Gotham. No complaints were going to be made about the weather, but rather what you had to spend that night doing instead.
Your father, Bruce Wayne had decided that tonight was the night to have a lovely family outing with you, your mother, and your darling half-brother.
You sat next to your demon spawn brother in the car, he looked just as unpleased as you, maybe even more so. You could hear him grumbling under his breath, saying how he could be out with Jon instead of here.
You were thinking about the epic party that you had planned on going to and how your father ruined your plans.
“Let’s enjoy our night,” your father smiles. You knew he would rather be out and about playing hero. You knew this was all your mother’s idea and he wanted to keep her happy and agreed.
“What 17-year-old wants to go to a circus?” You grumble with your arms crossed. Your father shakes his head and your mother looks over at him.
Alfred finally announces that you’ve arrived. Your parents are the first ones out and then with a sigh and a huff you and your brother step out met with flashes of cameras and questions. You smile and wave, getting into the circus tent quickly and avoiding the questions.
No one was in the tent, just the ring leader and some of his performers. The ring leader, Haly was speaking and thanking your parents. Behind him there was a small group of what you assumed to be acrobats, you walk closer to the ring and watch them. One catches your eye, he was tall and muscular with bright blue eyes and black hair. The tight suit he wore didn’t leave much to the imagination, but you had no complaints.
“Hello?” You hear a voice say. You hadn’t realised that the guy had caught you staring and was now waving his hand in front of your face.
“Ah oh, hello,” you awkwardly greet him.
“Y/n, this is Richard Grayson, he is a part of the acrobat team,” your father says with his hands on your shoulders. You smile at him and reach your hand out, he grabs it and gives it a soft kiss making you turn red and laugh nervously.
“It’s an honor to meet such a gorgeous young woman,” he compliments. Your face starts to heat up as you try and get your head together.
“It’s an honor to meet such a handsome guy like you too,” you attempt to flirt with him. Your father pulls you away and makes you take your seat.
After the performances were over, you decided to go find Richard and invite him to the party tonight. You see him enter a trailer and go knock, a woman about your height opens the door. Her eyes fall on you and she smiles. “Richard I think there’s someone here to see you,” she giggles and moves away. You smile before Richard is standing in front of you.
“Oh, it’s you! Hey,” he smiles before stepping out and shutting the trailer door. That fucking smile! It made you weak.
“Heyy, I was wondering if you wanted to come to a party? Here’s the address,” you say rushing all your words out. You give him the little invite that was given to you previously. He looks over it and smiles.
“I’ll see you there,” he smiles and turns away. You practically skip all the way to your car with a massive grin.
“What has you so happy?” Damian asks with his eyebrow raised. You shoot your head towards him, your smile now faded.
“None of your business, demon spawn,” you say before turning to face your parents. They look at each other, your mum whispers something to your dad.
You're in your room trying to work out what to wear, you wanted to impress Richard Grayson. You look yourself up and down in the mirror wondering if this was the right outfit, there's a slight knock and your mum pops her head in. "Hey darling," she smiles letting herself in.
"Hi mum," you greet her back happily. She smiles while looking at you, she knew something was up.
"Is this about that circus boy?" she asks. You slowly nod.
"I invited him to this party," you say quietly. You were worried she would say no to going.
"Have fun, tell me what he is like," she walks to the door. "Alfred is waiting in the car." You smile to yourself.
