bruce/dick ... hmmm... flowershop AU?

At this time of day, the sun's rays pierced through the glass to illuminate the flower shop with a soft glow. Dick was too busy putting together a bouquet of roses to notice him, but that was alright, Bruce didn't want to disturb him either way. Instead, he watched silently as Dick worked - admired the small unconscious smile playing on his lips and the way his hands moved.

Bruce hasn't seen him so completely at ease in a long time. He imagined that Dick was humming quietly while working, maybe one of those songs his mother used to sing him that the words of were long forgotten by time, and for a moment he wanted to get inside the shop, just to see if he's right. Just to hear Dick hum the song, to close his eyes and listen.

But then he would disturb Dick's peace; that blissful state of calmness that only acrobatics and being among flowers managed to put him into. So for now Bruce was alright with just admiring him from a distance, like one does with a flower so beautiful they're afraid to touch in fear of damaging it.

It was a good comparison, but Bruce knew well that Dick didn't want to be just something to look at. No, Dick was like a sunflower that always followed the sun, that always looked for praise and tender touch, for love. And he chose Bruce to be his sun, to be the one he loved and was loved by in turn.

But the truth was, even a sunflower can suffer from too much sun.

They haven't really seen each other since the time Dick stormed out of the Manor after their last fight. Dick didn't call him and Bruce didn't try to contact him either, wanting to give Dick some space. But how easy would it be to just open the flower shop's door now and walk inside, to gently cup Dick's face in his hand and apologize. To lean down and press their lips together in a kiss as sweet as the scent of flowers around. No calls or texts would be needed - Dick was here, right in front of him. All he had to do was-

"Mr. Wayne, we have to keep going. Would you like me to order some flowers for you later?"

Bruce wet his lips nervously, forcing himself to look away from Dick.

"No, there's no need." He said. "Let's go."

here is a painted doodle thing I did for a request– injured Bruce and protective Dickie in the middle of a snowstorm. Dick’s wearing Batman’s cape to cover them both *c*

I vaguely remember something similar happening in canon once lol

Thanks so much for all the recommendations! Loved them all so far and there are some great writers in this fandom. I almost read all of them, but if someone has another one they like, I’m up for more. <3 This fan art is inspired by various fics I’ve read over the last couple of days, can’t pinpoint it to one, haa.
