[closed] you call me weak but still your secrets i will keep
Date & Time: January 3rd
Location: TOWN OUTSKIRTS
Characters: a Bat and a Robin
Summary: Bruce is investigating a thing, Dick is trying his hardest to investigate him.
Warnings: probably none!
[ An hour outside is really all it takes; an hour in and already the cold is settling in a way that steals his breath when the wind turns against him. It's the kind of cold that makes him want to stop and hug his bare knees, the kind his instincts say will wear his reflexes down as long as he's in this outfit, no matter how okay he is now at keeping his heart rate up for the bodyheat when he needs to.
And Bruce would tell him to suck it up, if he could see him shivering up here now. No matter what Batman would tell him he can go home if he’s chilly, that there’s work to be done. He knows it in his heart, he’s sure he knows it better than anyone that just because Batman isn’t talking doesn’t mean he isn’t watching.
Maybe that was the problem before. Looking the part isn’t all there is to being Robin, but without an insulated suit it’s harder here to keep working at the same pace. With a secret to keep from two new roommates, with no way around the awful fear of exposure he can’t keep working the same way. Not as often as Robin should.
But he has a little time left, before he has to turn back. He can’t give up.
Not yet he can’t. ]
