Ren Fair: Dick Grayson x reader
summary/request: dick x reader going to a renaissance fair.
Warnigns: some innuendo (but funny ones I hope), some injuries (obviously), fluff.
***
She definitely didn't expect this.
It was just a regular Friday, and that usually meant counting down the hours until the weekend and dreaming of spending the entire two days in your apartment, in a comfy sweatshirt and sweatpants, doing nothing except maybe cuddling with your boyfriend.
With her beloved boyfriend Dick, who always knew how to take care of her, even if she wasn't aware of it.
And whom she loved because of it.
So when she came home from work, dropped her bag on the floor next to the door, kicked off her shoes, and fell face first onto the couch with a loud groan of relief, she was more than pleased to see a box wrapped in blue paper with her name tag on it. Apparently Dick's handwriting.
Her energy felt like it immediately surged again as she stood up, reaching for the gift, almost falling to the floor in the process. She was just too lazy to get up, so she took the classic "let's see how far I can stretch before I fall backwards" approach.
With the greatest delicacy and care, she untied the ribbons and took out the paper, looking inside.
She loved surprises from him.
Or at least until then.
What a pity she couldn't see her own face as she reached in and pulled out what looked like a dress but wasn't.
– Is that a damn corset? Y/N muttered, the frown on her face growing by the second. What the hell!? She never wore things like that! Did Dick get the gifts wrong? Maybe he wanted to give it to another girl? Was he cheating on her? But if so, shouldn't it be...sexier? Even though she was pained by the possibility of Dick's infidelity, she would eventually come to terms with him having a kink for a women in lingerie. But the clothes she held looked more like a habit than a seductive underwear. Did he like the nun cosplay for foreplay now!?
Cholera…
Her own thoughts disgusted her and she threw the outfit away with a groan.
Apparently she didn't know her own boyfriend.
“Hey, Y/n!”
She almost jumped on the couch when he entered the room (of course, he moved like a 100% vigilante even in his civilian version, so she didn't hear a sound. Knocking was overrated in this relationship).
"DICK!"
"Hey Baby." his eyes landed on the dress on the floor and his smile immediately disappeared. Didn't like your gift?
"I..." she began, stopping mid-sentence as her eyes landed on his figure, widening in pure shock. "What-? What are you wearing?!"
“Amazing, right? I know, I love it too. And you better not ask how long it took to find it and how much I charged Bruce's credit card. Dick chuckled, squirming around, flexing his muscles.
What the hell was going on!?
Her beloved boyfriend stood in front of the mirror and looked at himself with a huge and completely unjustified amount of self-love, while looking like...
"Clown". He smiled as if that explained everything.
“Mhm. Yes, of course. She made a confused face, barely keeping herself from palming her face. "The only thing you're missing is a hat with bells."
“You know what, that's a really great idea! Maybe I should-"
“Wow! Hold back, Grayson. Hold back! Do you want to explain this?
"But what?" he tilted his head with a confused expression, thus resembling the character whose costume he was wearing.
“Why are you wearing puffy pants and a diamond-patterned vest? Why is there a weird looking dress in the box with my name on it? Dick - "
"Wait. Wait, wait..." he pinched the bridge of his nose, turning to her. "Didn't you look in the box?"
"Yes but…"
"No? No. Inside inside." - he emphasized, and for some unknown reason a shiver ran down her spine. Should she be worried? Was there a themed toy there too?
Damn it!
She wanted to scream when, at his watchful, expectant look, she turned the box upside down and watched in amazement as a piece of paper fell out of it, which turned out to be an invitation.
What a relief
She clearly had that feeling written all over her face, because Dick's initial concern turned into a fit of laughter, which only made him look even more as a jester as he continued to shake his head.
“Y/N-” he almost choked. “What were you thinking?”
“Shut up…” she muttered, blushing
“Oh, no, please tell me. I insist!"
"Shut up you idiot!" she threw a pillow at him, which of course didn't hurt him, and focused on the list to keep her trembling hands occupied. “Renaissance fair?”
"Ta dah! Surprise!" - he smiled, throwing his hands in the air
“Since when have you been a fan of history?” Y/N frowned. “I mean, I know you're an 80s fan because Discowing….”
"Shut up!" he ran up to her and put his hand over her mouth before she even said a word. “It was comfortable and airy!”
“Can't argue with that!” She giggled, but it was actually liberating to know that he wasn't into the type of cosplay she had initially thought of.
"come on, let's go. It'll be fun, I promise. You'll be the lady-in-waiting, and I'll be your devoted clown, always ready to cheer you up."
“You don’t need that outfit to do that.”
“But it’s working, isn’t it?” he smirked, enjoying the smile forming on her face, which he didn’t see for a while now. “Pretty please?” he pouted his lips, giving her a begging puppy look.
“can’t say no to those eyes, can I?” she ruffled his hair playfully.
“But we definitely are getting me that hat!”
***
Given all that, on Saturday forenoon Dick and Y/N dressed up (obviously not without her complaining about lack of ability to breathe because of the corset ties) and drove to the renaissance fair Dick was so excited about.
And apparently not only he had such feelings, cause the crowd of people coming from all directions was in fact overwhelming. Who would have thought that so many women would choose to spend their weekend dressed up in sixteenth-century robes, listening to the sounds of lute music. Who would have thought that so many men would rather discuss the aspects of the works of the brightest minds of the era than lay on the couch mindlessly flipping through their phones or switching TV channels.
In a spacious field, here and there, were colourful tents, in which women showed Renaissance activities such as weaving and embroidery. In the very centre, at located there stage, at high noon, a typical scene from the life of people at that time was to be performed. There were costumed event participants everywhere, and the tables set under canopies were brimming under the weight of delicacies and drinks, the sight of which made your mouth water. The smells, sounds and the lazy atmosphere of sunny weekend day were creating an otherworldly and timeless impression. It was almost like a time travel few centuries back, and despite her initial inhibitions and fear that it would all turn out to be a flop and a laughing stock it seemed like everything was buttoned to the last detail.
“are you ready m’lady?” Dick bowed slightly in front of Y/N reaching for her hand, the bells on his hat jingling at the motion.
“Grammercy (thank you)” she mirrored his motion „although I am not sure whether a Good Madam (lady of the court) shall be seen in such familiarity with a jokester.” Y/N turned her head away slightly, feigning the woman’s shyness.
“Grammercy? Oh, you little minx, you came prepared!” Dick laughed happily, trying to tickle her.
“Yeah, well, I did some research, but you have no idea how hard it was to find something more than please and thank you on the Internet on such short notice!“
“Mhm, sure…” he muttered absentmindedly, too excited by the fact that she was already starting to enjoy the day.. “You’re doing amazing one way or another. Now come on, love, I want to see everything.”
***
“Told you it was not a good idea to try and outdo the professionals!”
“I am a professional!”
“Not is this outfit, Dick!”
It was such a nice day, full of laughter, joy, tasting food and trying out new activities. No worries or stress or the pressure of time (pun intended). Just spending time together.
Well-
Until it was time for the acrobats to perform.
Obviously, after literal five minutes Dick crossed his arms and started sulking and muttering under his nose. Something about him being better and more skilled and if only he could get on that stage, he would let everyone know what a real SHOW was all about. Unfortunately, one of the performers heard his gabble, and unaware of the potential consequences and Dick’s attention-seeker attitude, invited him to join, before Y/N managed to stop them.
It wasn’t surprising to her that her boyfriend was in fact good, he was raised in the circus after all, but doing acrobatics, somersaults and pirouettes in the air, in a very specific suit and footwear was far from trying to do so on a slippery stage in a jester’s pompon shoes.
So, in result, she was now sitting with him in the shade of a tree, with his leg stretched out on the grass using some ice to minimize the swelling on his ankle, laughing internally at the whole situation.
“But Y/N!”
“hush, Grayson. I swear I’m gonna put you on house arrest for bringing shame to me.” She chuckled, making sure the whole ankle was evenly cooled.
“HEY! That’s mean! And not true! That’s a slander!” he started to fidget, equally hurt and annoyed by those words. But the second her joy-filled eyes landed on his face and she gave him her prettiest smile he had to let go of the feigned resentment.
“You were so much better than those acrobats there, Dick. Truly. Thanks for bringing me here, I did have fun.” She pecked his nose briefly. “Regardless, you got to warn me next time you come up with such a crazy idea.”
“Where’s the surprise in- Wait, did you say next time?!”
“hush, jokester! It is not proper to address a lady this way.”
“God, Y/N, I love you” he grabbed her waist and not caring about correct reflection of the era’s customs pulled her close to his chest kissing her deeply. He adored that woman with her endless acceptance of his jokes and humour and staying with him despite his (sometimes childish) attitude and his openness and crazy ideas. And maybe he was keeping a little something in those puffy pants pocket, waiting for a proper time.
Which he was sure was going to come sooner than later.
honorary mention to @gone-batty-fics as a thanks for making me pay more attention to punctuation :D

Hyuk Lee Headcannons
A/N: fandom dead, but not my power to write about him. He's so skrunkly it's illegal that my boy lacks fanfics about him <//3
(sfw)
-Him
-You
-Eun
Dating him would include..
It would take a lot of patience to get him to warm up to you— and a lot more to put up with his bluntness and lack of context, but once he does, he's like a puppy.
Once he's definitely at a point of comfort around you, he'll let you see his more emotional side.
Will sometimes randomly pop up in your apartment without asking.
“They just released season 8 in Maria In the Sky.”
“How did you get in my apartment?”
“You left your spare keys in your pocket.”
Rambles about inconvenient happenings throughout his day or anime stuff, while you rub circles around his back and pepper his face in kisses.
He's never really showed his emotions to anyone before, since he's stuck at a standard to always be a matured older sibling, and cause ‘men don't cry’. In which, leads to a lot of bottled up emotions.
Sure, he could go to Eun about his problems. But he doesn't want to burden his younger sister with such things, and just add more to the girl's slightly negative image of her brother.
You're literally the only person he goes to when it comes to that side. He loves you for that, too.
Likes talking to Gyuhwan about you, just as much as he likes to talk about his favorite anime.
He's the type to still believe in chivalry. One time, he sacrificed his white button up shirt during the start of one of your monthly periods, just so that no one could notice blood staining your pants.
Wraps his arm around your neck and kisses the side of your head regularly.
Cosplay as Saber for him. He'll collapse.
He'll let you doze off in his lap while he spends his entire night gaming.
He takes off his glasses and stares at you blankly when you make an obvious mistake. It's like a ‘stare of realization’ moment.
It's a regular occurrence to have a sleepover at the Lee siblings' apartment every Friday.
He absolutely loves how close you are to Eun. Realizes that you are DEFINITELY the one for him.
Drags you to bed when it's past 10 PM, even though he's the one that needs sleep.
“Sweetheart, I'm fine.” *Literally almost beaten to death*
You get used to the matured side of Hyuk, but you do also have to get used to his nerdy side.
Will literally invite you to every anime con near the city. And pays for all of it.
Will take 5 minutes off to wear a full maid outfit for when you two are about to clean something. Whether it be the dishes, your apartment, or some old carpet you bought off the facebook marketplace.
Eun also warmed up to you rather easily, to Hyuk's surprise. Maybe because you both share a small history of smoking in secret , or maybe cause you buy her free ice cream when Hyuk's not looking.
The two siblings (playfully) fight over you during sleepovers at their apartment. One over a trip to the ice cream parlor, and the other for another trip to the anime convention.
It would just end up with a short detour to get ice cream, and then go to the anime con.
He loves showing you off in public. Whenever anyone passes by, he wraps an arm around your waist and pulls you close.
He thanks his lucky stars on how he was so blessed to have bagged such a diamond.
His love language is letting you touch all of his manga, anime figurines (even the expensive ones), and even more.
Wraps you up in a blanket burrito, carries you over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes, throws you on the bed, throws snacks on the bed, turns on the laptop. Anime binge date.
Out of the blue, he'll smack your ass when you two are alone. It's become a regular occurrence, to the point that you get paranoid when you don't get that 11:45 AM booty slap in the kitchen and Hyuk's just right beside you. Relief drowns in your veins when he finally goes in with the triple squeeze booty grope 4K.
He'll do that thing, where he massages your ears and the slowly drifts his hand down the sides of your face and down your collarbone. Tingly.
Lets Yuri die from a lack of an inhaler, but he will drop all of his shit when he finds you almost attacked by a monster.
Will wrap his one and only button up shirt around you and even wipes the blood off your face using it.
Holds your hand almost all the time and keeps you by his side, will never let you disappear from his peripheral vision.
Looks so carefree and calm around the others, but once you two are behind closed doors, he's back to quietly rambling into your neck while you sit on his lap, consoling/comforting him.
“Yesterday, one of Eun's friends accidentally broke my Miku figurine.. It was those antique, one-of-a-kind ones— and Eun just said that it was no big deal?? As if it didn't just cost more than what I'd earn in my lifetime!”
Occasionally, he'll hold you up until your feet dangles above the floor and just lets you nuzzle your face in his hair. In secret, he's ravishing the fact that his own face is in your boobs. Fair trade? I must say so.
It looks spiky, but really, it's just really fluffy. Pomeranian built hair. Just total floof.
