“Good.”

Summary
“You are the first child he took in, right?”
Dick frowns. “You know I am.”
“And have you ever felt neglected since he took in more kids? Do you feel like you’re mistreated or that he favors his actual children over you?”
Martin’s pencil makes an annoying sound against the paper. “His… actual children?”
“He never adopted you, did he?”OR
The last thing Dick thought he'd have to do at the end of his school day was to defend his choice not to be adopted. Especially to people who definitely do not deserve to know anything.

Summary
“Can we do fireworks on New Year’s Eve?”
“I’m sorry, chum. Ace doesn’t like them.”
Ace has been trained not to mind them.
Dick’s eyes widen. “He doesn’t?”
“They’re loud,” Bruce says. “Even louder to him, because he’s a dog. And he doesn’t understand that they’re not a threat.”
Dick’s on his knees the next second, crawling under Bruce’s chair to hug the dog by the neck. “Poor Ace,” he mumbles into the dog’s fur. “It’s okay. We won’t do fireworks.”OR
Dick loves fireworks. Bruce doesn't. But he loves Dick, so he makes a bad call.
