F2F@Barbra&Dick - Old friends

cantstayaboywonderforever:

It took about fifteen minutes, but surely enough Dick bounded up towards the the restaurant, zipping up his leather jacket due to the windy weather. His day had been busy. He’d patrolled last night, gone to bed early in the morning, got up mid-day for a class, and rushed home to shower and change before making the commute to Gotham via motorcycle.

“Barbara!” Dick called out as he spotted her near the entrance. Even though his casual style hadn’t changed much, he must have seemed different to her;  considering most of the time they’d spent together was either in uniform at Gotham Academy or some formal event held by Bruce or charity organization. His blue eyes were covered by sunglasses even in the cold weather, simply out of habit. He was layered in clothing, from his T-shirt to a hoodie and finally his jacket paired with simple dark jeans and sneakers. Between patrol, school, and sleep, there really hadn’t been much time to update his wardrobe. “Here, let’s get out of this wind.” He suggested and hurried over to open the door, allowing her to go in first before they properly greeted each other. 

She laughed, going into the warm pizzaria, letting the smells and draft of the heat from not only heaters but ovens wash over her. She pulled her hat off, and her gloves spinning to face him fully. “Little Dick Grayson~ How long as it been” She said happily shoving the items into her bag and wrapping her arms around his neck in a hug pulling back and smiling at him.

“Hey, I forgot you got taller than me.” She teased shaking her head and pulling back. “So how have you been? Hows everything with moving cities, and the new school and all?” She asked, excited at that. She was so happy to finally catch up with the other, feeling bad for taking off on him like that without much word. Or words in between her absence.

So she went out, shopping and browsing. Dick wasn’t an easy person to shop for that was for sure. But there was one thing she knew he’d like, and she went for it. Technology. Something they both had in common, and addiction of the two of them. She loved it, she worked it, she was obsessed with it. Oddly enough having a best friend that was also highly technologically advanced. Buying the object that caught her high she packaged it up nightly and shot him a text on the decision of where they were going to eat tomorrow.

Nothing fancy, they had enough fancy with who there relations were. Her Dad and Bruce…she picked pizza, childish, and unoriginal. But something that they could be them, and not the Daughter of Commissioner Gordon and the Ward of Bruce Wayne. Shadows they were pushed in for a very long time, something else they connected over she mused.

And so the day came, she changed into something warm for the cold oncoming winter weather of Gotham. Finding her way to the Pizza location, the small box hidden away in her purse she clutched it tightly to her chest as she crossed the streets, knowing better than to leave her bag hanging she moved stepping against the wall of her location. Habits that could save lives, and things. She pulled her phone out, watching the time. She’d wait a bit before bothering him on where he was. Humming softly to the sounds of the city.

Dick was sitting on the sofa looking over some work when she replied to him. He easily abandoned the paper he’d been editing to respond to his old friend.

Ha ha, what a comedian :P
And don’t worry about Wally, we just won’t tell him. Shhhhh

Too much trouble? For you? Never.
Lunch sounds perfect. Meet you in Gotham tomorrow? Lady’s choice for the restaurant, since I’m such a gentleman and all~ 

Dick chuckled, sending the text off. He was smiling again, that same unavoidable smile that seemed to sneak up on him when it involved the idea of spending time with her. And why not? She’d always been one of his closest friends, one of his oldest friends. And even though they hadn’t really talked much in the past couple months, even their easy, teasing texts proved that nothing had changed between them. He loved that, and he looked forward to seeing her.

Sliding on her shoes, she had some plans in mind before everything went down. She picked up her phone again.

<Text>
Haha, I see how it is.
I won’t tell a soul~

Sounds great, I’ll look up some places later and send you what I pick~ Because I’m being treated by the great Richard Grayson to dinnner~

Picking up her keys she headed out, a certain someones birthday was approaching, and despite the months that had passed it was something she didn’t plan on forgetting. So despite him treating her to food, she was definitely getting him something. She missed him, they were close in High School, though he was absent more often than not, she never really saw it as to odd. A warm smile on her face as she moved out, tomorrow was going to be great. She wondered if he changed at all, or if he was still the Dick Grayson she spent her high school years with.

Dick had been standing in the middle of his kitchen, cleaning out the various take out food boxes that had never been eaten and were now causing a concerning odor when he spot a light flash on the kitchen island in his peripheral vision. He tossed the last styrofoam box in the trash and shut the fridge door before walking over. He blinked in surprise at the contact name and picture that flashed on the screen, an involuntary smile breaking out onto his face at the same time.

” Barbara.” He read aloud as he opened the message and leaned back on the counter against the sink and read through it, laughing at the unsure nature of the last line and how he heard her voice in his head reciting it with the exact quirks in her speech that he remembered all too well. He began to type back.

Hey, way to be a stranger, Babs~
Ahaha, don’t worry about it, I’ve been busy too with moving and school and all that junk.. JUST BEEN EXPERIENCING THE GLAMOUR OF GROWING UP~

But hey, I miss you too..  We should definitely catch up soon. I mean, I’m in Bludhaven now but I could always make the commute for my favorite redhead.

Dick reread the message a couple times, editing here and there before deciding it was acceptable to send off. 

She grinned, stopping her spinning, leaning her head back and holding her phone in front of her face. A small laugh escaping her as she read the text, and swinging her feet happily as she replied.

<Text>
YOU AN ADULT NOW DICK~?
So proud.
My little guys growing up :’D

Haha, careful about that redhead line, Wally might get jealous.
But if its not to much trouble maybe we could meet up for lunch?

Climbing off the chair she moved to dig something to wear up and out of the closet. Excited to see her old friend again. Kicking the boots of her night costume away and frowning shoving them farther in the closet she found something moving about humming happily to herself.

She’d been so busy since returning to Gotham. Between trying to find a job, and adjusting to the life of Batgirl she hadn’t even realized she hadn’t taken the time to catch up with some of her friends. Said friends being well Artemis and Dick. Though she did have an interesting conversation involving a taser with Artemis she really wanted to see her friends again. Rolling around in the computer chair she’d recently named her second home pulling out her phone she scrolled the short list of contacts finding the right name and spinning in a circle, smile on her face.

<Text>
How is the ever famous Dick Grayson doing?
Haha guess who?
Sorry haven’t really been in contact for the past month or so…I miss hanging out with you~
Oh gosh I sound bad I’m stopping now.

Aha, Babs can definitely handle herself sans taser.

Because I go for a nice night walk planning to taser someone.
That’s what pepper spray is for my word.
You can’t just tase people..
