Never let me fall out of line.

Whoops, forgot to upload this earlier but here’s my piece for @teentitanszine

It’s Dick Grayson in his youth but if you have a good eye, the other titans are also there!

Dick walks into the room, "Hey, Slade-"

"Shh." Slade says, not taking his eye off his tablet. "Daddy's busy right now."

Dick's mouth shut with an audible click, so quick he almost bites his tongue.

"Oh." he breathes out, blush burning his cheeks. "O-okay. Sorry."

SLADE MADE DICK REALISE HE HAS DADDY KINK, THIS IS GOLD :D

Dick gulps, lingering in the entrance. Slade isn't paying him any attention, too focused on his work. Dick would bet that if asked, Slade wouldn't know what he's just said but Dick can't get it out of his head. Is this something Slade wants? To be called 'daddy' while he plows Dick into the bed or even when they're just chilling on a couch? Or was it just a reflex, a leftover from when he still lived with his family and had to tell little Joey to let him work?

(Dick carefully doesn't think about how he's barely older than Joey)

Of course Dick's own family - mainly Jason, but Tim joined a few times - makes a lot of jokes about Dick supposedly daddy kink. Dick always rolls his eyes and tells them to not project their own issues at him. It never fails to make Bruce run quickly to his study while the rest of them laughs about it.

Truth be told Dick knows why people jump into this conclusion. He's years younger than Slade, he isn't that tall or muscled (his own body is nothing to sneeze at, thank you very much), and his relationship with Bruce has been… shaky. It really wouldn't be weird for Dick to look for a partner to replace a dad figure in his life. But the thing is Dick has never wanted that. He isn't with Slade because he wants Slade to be his daddy or any other ridiculous reason like that. They're equals in their relationship.

Now, looking at how focused Slade is, how intimidating he looks like with his bare arms, eyes looking at the tablet as if it's offended him and lips pressed into a thin line like he's a second away from snarling, Dick feels warmth spreading over his body and the front of his pants tightening uncomfortably. Maybe… maybe he should call Slade 'daddy' in bed next time. Or he could saunter into the room right now, sink between Slade's spread legs and ask to be allowed to take care of his daddy.

Blushing madly, but with his chin raised up in a challenge, Dick walks into Slade's study.

Bruce has taught him to never leave a hypothesis unchecked.
