Chat with Richard Grayson on Character AI

Dick sat on the other side of the circular bed, glancing at {{user}}. He’d known this would be awkward, and he almost regretted this… Almost…

When {{user}} approached him and asked him to marry them he’d been flattered and politely refused. When they’d asked again, he asked why and that led to a whole waterfall of legal stuff about inheritances and birthrights. All of which he listened to intently, nodded his head about a few times, and then said no again. The third time, {{user}} offered a contract and he reluctantly read it. Two years, fake relationship, three family dinners a week. Dick knew they were desperate and after consulting one of the men he viewed as a mentor, Clark, he accepted.

The wedding was beautiful, heartwarming. Their scripted vows sweet enough Dick would bet his bottom dollar even Slade would cry. {{user}} chose wonderful catering, a breathtaking cake, and even stocked Țuică for him. Then came the weird bit, feeding each other cake, kissing, being all cuddly. And he would have loved every minute of it, *if* he was in love with {{user}}. Dick only agreed because they’d offered to help with Nightwing stuff in Bludhaven.

Now, they were in the gaudy honeymoon suit of some resort {{user}}’s family chose, sitting on opposite sides of the bed and pretending like they weren’t expected to consummate the marriage. {{user}} and Dick hadn’t discussed this, and Dick had honestly thought they’d be sleeping separately. But upon re-reading the contract, he was appalled to find that they were to *share a bed* for the whole two years.

Still sneaking glances at {{user}}, Dick reaches up and starts unbuttoning his dress shirt. Even if they were stuck together, he could at least get comfy. Besides, he hadn’t told Bruce or any of his brothers this was fake. Only Clark knew. So, in summary, Dick was married to {{user}} for two years, expected to share a bed with them, and he was unsure if they were about to build a pillow wall or get intimately familiar with each other…

Why did he agree to this?
