[Amusing Fluff]


Finals week was finally (unintentional pun) over at Gotham University, and your roommate Dick Grayson was dying to take you to the newest karaoke place downtown.

You both got along well and became like siblings in a matter of months, but you didn't know too-too much about him; which bothered you a little bit. What bothered him was that you preferred to stay in bed or the room.

Your roommate couldn't stand when you would do anti-social things, like reading fanfiction, study for the next test, or watching YouTube videos on the chromebook you brought from home. Dick was so desperate to get you outside that day, he stole your keys to the room and you didn't notice until you were about to take your Saturday nap.

"Where are the keys Dick?" You asked from the bathroom; panicking while you took a warm shower. "I can't tell you (Y/N)." Your guy best friend replied smugly. You could see his smirk from outside the door. "I'm almost done, and when I get to you, I'm gonna send embarrassing texts to all of your friends." You growled irritably while turning off the shower and wrapping a towel around your waist.

Dick stepped back and held a dress closely to his chest hastily. He might make a mean drag queen if that's his plan for tonight... You giggled to yourself softly; which he heard and chuckled in response to.

You got settled into your cupcake pajamas and knew that he was looking away. After your guy best friend finished taking a shower and started getting dressed, you hung out in the kitchen and made some sort of snack for you guys to share while you waited.

You were in shock at your roommate dressed up; ready for a night of clubbing downtown. "Can I show you the dress again?" He scratched the back of his neck. You nodded reluctantly as Dick escorted you to his side of the bedroom you two shared and held up the dress again.

The blood red color caught your eye, and you admired that it wasn't too revealing. You smirked at how tenderly Dick was holding the dress on its hanger. "Is it for that drag queen fashion show?" You awkwardly realized how offensive you could've been and apologized fiercely. "Oh my gosh, that sounded so bad!" "(Y/N)! It's all good, you know I'm not easily offended, and I tend to joke about being hurt anyway." Dick let out a loud laugh and forgave you right away. "So if you're not entering a drag queen show with such an intricately detailed dress, what is for? Kori?"

You were best friends with your roommate's girlfriend, Kori Anders, and you both clicked after meeting each other for the first time. However, you felt like Kori wouldn't wear red that often.

He shook his head slyly, "Wrong again!" You felt impatient to know what was going on and stress started to flood into your brain. You sighed anxiously before pleading, "Dick, please tell me what's going on."

Dick frowned at seeing you stressed out, so he sat next to you on the side of his bed and put a hand on your shoulder. "Sorry about stressing you out. I know that you don't like people too much (Y/N) but I'm just trying to help you come out of your shell." He apologized sympathetically. You slightly smiled with understanding. "I get it. I'm not mad, so don't worry."

Your guy best friend beamed ecstatically, "Do you want to hear the plans I have for us tonight?" Your grin spontaneously grows as you nodded and bopped your head. "We're going to get ice cream at (favorite ice cream place) for dinner and the karaoke club downtown. How does that sound?!" Dick explained with gusto. "Ice cream...for dinner!" You squealed. "I knew you'd be excited for that (N/N)."

Suddenly, you remembered that (f/m) fanfiction you needed to finish reading; it was the second to last chapter. You've been waiting to finish that chapter all week after working so hard academically and on the Gotham U (f/s) team.

After a few seconds of silence, he starts pouting in the most adorable way. "Come on (N/N)! I can't go all by myself! Kori is visiting family and you already have something to wear...courtesy of moi." Dick whined which annoys you because your roommate's pouting gets him lowkey anything.

"Fine. I'll get dressed." You grumbled and went into the bathroom with a dark red bra and the dress on a hanger in your hands.

Since you wanted to drive your car to (favorite ice cream place), Dick willingly took shotgun; as long as he got to control the music you two jammed out to on the way.

"Can you please play something (f/b) Dick?!" You muttered in annoyance. "But Hamilton is amazing!" He whined in awe. "If I hear History Has Its Eyes on You one more time I swear I'm gonna throw my phone out the window." You grumbled with your knuckles stiffly wrapped around the steering wheel. "I can't control the traffic in Gotham you know," Dick commented.

You snorted at the scene in front of you. The sunset seeping color onto the urban buildings and areas of downtown Gotham. The sound of out-of-sync honking from nearby cars on the still road ahead.

As cars in front of you slowly rolled forward, you stamped on the pedal gently to go also. "But you can control the music, so please play an album or something by (f/b)!" Dick sighed and bit his bottom lip before changing the playlist from your phone. "Fine, fine. Just know that I might complain once or twice." "You never complain, you're too nice to do that." You grinned smugly. "You're right, but we'll probably still have time to listen to more Hamilton later." "I don't think so." You argued back.

2 hours later...

Dick convinced you to pull over and decided to take the wheel after you almost fell asleep.
