“b,” dick says, clambering up the railing with only half his usual ease. he has strawberry ice cream on his cheek. “b. look. i’m taller than you now.”
bruce looks down at him. he’s short by about a foot, and beaming.
“are you.” he says.
dick wrinkles his nose and glares back defiantly. “yes. obv-i-ous-ly.” he puts careful emphasis on the syllables, puffing out his chest to look more intimidating. it doesn’t succeed very well. “okay fine— maybe a little suspension of belief is needed here.”
“you mean suspension of disbelief.”
“no. i mean suspension of belief. which of us is in acting beginning right now.”
bruce reaches over and rubs a bit at the ice cream, trying to get it off. “sure.”
“what- b. stop that. stop. we’re in public.” he squeaks, batting at the hand with both of his small ones, and any projection of adult intimidation vanishes in the face of a classic ten year old boy.
bruce smothers his smile in time only through years of ninja training. “am i embarrassing you.”
“yes”
“hm” he pretends to think. “too bad.”
