[He isn't sure what exactly happened between leaving the classroom that day and the next morning. Only that he had somehow ended up getting so horridly sick that even the front office lady sounded concerned when he called in about needing a substitute. He had barely called in for work, usually being extremely healthy and quite good at avoiding getting sick, so him being bedridden was a shock to himself.

Still, the nice sudden break from being at school and teaching was nice. That, and being able to sleep a good portion of the day was good.

And who was he kidding, he wasn't sure what to make of what was going on between him and Jason. He, of course, was happy to oblige to the partnership. But he still wondered just exactly how things would work. It wasn't like he couldn't deal with staying professional during school hours, but he couldn't see how this relationship would affect the teen. It wasn't exactly healthy. And he didn't want to subject the other to a relationship that had a high chance of caving in on itself.

Maybe the fact that he would't be in class for a few days were good. Jason would be able to think perhaps, and if it ended as a fluke, Dick wouldn't mind. At least he didn't mind if it meant Jason being happier with someone else. But he couldn't be selfish about it right?

God why is he thinking this, he needs more sleep. Hopefully the substitute got all his lesson plans.]

He's just intimidating. He's actually got a big heart in him, no matter how much he pretends he doesn't. But don't tell him I said that. He gives pretty intense glares. [He laughs a little.]

[batmansphoenix.livejournal.com]

...What if he doesn't like me? [He's a kid he's allowed to get worried shush]

[notasidedick]

I don't care. I like you, and that's good enough. It's not like he can control who I fall for or not.

[...stop making him blush]

Grayson... you're so sissy I can't even...

[notasidedick]

[Nope. It's cute.]

But you like that about me right? It makes up for you being so macho.

[batmansphoenix.livejournal.com]

[He laughs] You think I'm 'so macho'? I thought I did a lot of really cute things a moment ago.

[notasidedick]

I thought you were the one who thought they were macho. I still think you're cute.

[batmansphoenix.livejournal.com]

I know I'm macho. I'm obviously so manry I make all the girls swoon. You're the one determined to see me as cute.

[He keeps onmnomnoming on the cake]

[notasidedick]

You've got me swooning at the very least. [Bats his eyelashes playfully.]

I'm glad you like the cake though. [On the account he burned himself like a retard, but he's not mentioning that.]

[batmansphoenix.livejournal.com]

[He laughs and winks at him] And you're the only one I really care about 'swooning' right now.

And yeah it's delicious. [He grins] best cake ever.

[notasidedick]

[He does a mock swoon before going back to finishing his slice of cake.]

If you tried Alfred's cake, you'd think anything I made is just mediocre. [He laughs.]

10 days I took to reply to this I are awesome

[batmansphoenix.livejournal.com]

[He rolls his eyes] Can't you accept a compliment? Jesus Christ Grayson. [He then engulfs the rest of the cake] You just need to make sure I get to try it then.

5 days later :|;;

[notasidedick]

[He just chuckles a bit as he eats his own slice. Is that frosting at the corner of his mouth?] I will. He always makes me one for my birthday or other Holidays at the very least.

<3;;

[batmansphoenix.livejournal.com]

When's your birthday? [He tilts his head, looking at the frosting. He wonders if he'll notice without him telling.]

[notasidedick]

My birthday? March. March 21st. [And because this is Dick, he's completely oblivious to the frosting. Completely and utterly oblivious. As usual.]

[batmansphoenix.livejournal.com]

I will try to bake a cake for you next year then. [He reaches for his tie and tugs him closer, until he reaches to lick the frosting out of his lips himself. Dick should probably get used to these randoms moments of affection from Jason's part.

Dick isn't the only one who likes to fluster the other.]

[notasidedick]

You don't have to if it's too much work. I'd like to celebrate my birthday with you though. [He blinks in surprise, before breaking into an embarrassed smile. What a derp. He presses his fingers against where he licked the frosting off.]

Whoops.

[batmansphoenix.livejournal.com]

Yet you had to make a cake for me? Nah, I can do it.

[He grins, standing up] We should go before somebody sees us.

[notasidedick]

I didn't have to. I wanted to.

[He starts packing his briefcase.] I guess you're right. It's getting late for staying on school campus.

[batmansphoenix.livejournal.com]

Then maybe I want to, too.

Will you be alone at your house? [aka can I come?]

[notasidedick]

This is such a childish conversation. [He just laughs.]

I was hoping to have company tonight. [That means you.]

[batmansphoenix.livejournal.com]

Some people still see me as a child. You should know better though... [He grins]

That an invitation? [He's already processing if he'd be able to get away with telling his mother he's at a friend's to celebrate his birthday.]

[notasidedick]

Were you implying something dirty just now?

It's only an invitation if you want it to be. [He picks up his briefcase.] So?

[batmansphoenix.livejournal.com]

[He raises an eyebrow because do you even need to ask.]

Count me in. [He jumps to his feet]

[notasidedick]

[That just makes him laugh.]

Alright, come on. It's getting late. Grab your birthday present. I guess since I hadn't decided what I'm making for dinner, you can help me decide.
