How To Balance Your Daytime and Nighttime Activities So That You Don't Burn Yourself Out More Than You Already Have

It was halfway through his shift the next day, just after he'd come back from lunch, that the anonymous tip came through. Dick had frozen when he heard it, but only slightly because the others were brushing it off as a prank call.

"'Blockbuster's after someone named Oracle,'" Officer Diaz had scoffed, "What a joke. Aren't kids supposed to know that their stupid prank calls clog the system? What if someone who actually had useful information had needed to call, huh?"

Dick didn't mention that that isn't how the tip system works, nor did he eve attempt to scold the officer for brushing it off, no matter how stupid it seemed. No, instead, he was stuck in his thoughts.

Blockbuster is after Oracle. Why is he after Oracle? It doesn't make sense! No one in Bludhaven, save for himself, should no who she is! Besides, he'd kept all of the attention on himself. No one was able to even think about the heroes or rogues in Gotham without him knowing! Or, so he'd thought. How does Blockbuster know Oracle's name? More importantly at the moment was who sent the tip.

There was another scoff from one of the others. Did he say that out loud? "Look, I know you're new and everything, but shouldn't you know the mean of 'anonymous'?"

He forced himself out of his head, rubbing his neck with his left hand with a fake smile. "Yeah, I do. I guess I'm just a bit out of it today."

"Well, get your head back in the game," Detective Soames snapped, hitting a file on the back of Dick's head, "File that for me, then file the rest on my desk."

"Yes, sir," Dick took the file, ignoring the snickers and snide remarks from his coworkers.

He knows he's not going to be able to fully focus on anything for the rest of the day, possibly not even until after he finds out who sent that tip and how Blockbuster knows Oracle's name.

Oracle. Dick knows she can handle herself, but he doesn't like the fact that anyone knows her name. Not even B knows about Oracle! Babs had spent so much time and energy keeping her online persona from B so that she could have at least something of her own that Dick had taken it upon himself to erase traces connecting him to Oracle. She didn't deserve to have Batman on her ass, nor did she deserve to have Nightwing's enemies go after her!

He shook himself back into the present with a soft sigh. He'll call Barbra as soon as he gets home.

***

"Danny!" Dick calls into the apartment, knowing full well that the kid is in the kitchen, "I'm home!"

"Welcome back," Danny responds from where he's standing at the stove. He, Dick realizes, does not sound happy.

He hangs his coat up on the hooks he installed beside the door, his shoes going on the rack below them. "You good? You sound a bit upset?"

"I am upset." Danny, after getting comfortable around him, has stopped sugar-coating his words, being brutally honest. Dick blinks. "I was going to message Tim, but I saw a lack of apologies from you."

Oh. Dick had meant to do what Danny said last night and apologise to that Tim kid for snapping at him, but he had been a lot more tired than usual and it had slipped his mind. "I was going to use my phone?"

"You don't have his number."

Another thing Dick had come to learn about Danny in the few weeks they'd been living together was that he can't be lied to. He somehow picks up on lies, so even Dick's best efforts - that have fooled even Batman! - are always thwarted.

"I meant to," Dick said, sitting on one of the new barstools at he island counter, "But I was really tired last night."

Danny sighed. "Because you were out longer than you're now used to." He turned the burner off, moving the pan to sit on the hotpad beside it. "You're body's gotten used to only being out for eight hours during the day and six hours at night. You going out for eight hours last night wore you out more than usual because you're no longer used to your seventeen hour work days."

Dick tilted his head, accepting the bowl of soup he was given. "But it's only been a few weeks?"

"It only takes eighteen days for your body to get used to a routine." He said, placing a bowl of homemade rolls on the island. "After about sixty-six days, it becomes habitual."

"But it hasn't been sixty-six days."

"No, but it has been twenty-one days."

He hesitated for a moment. "Has it really been only that long?" Then, "Have you been counting?"

Danny blushed, sitting beside Dick with his own bowl of soup. "I've been keeping track of your schedule, which means I gotta keep a calendar. I haven't been counting on purpose."

Dick smiled, eating the soup. As usual, it was really good. The first week of Danny's stay, he'd asked where he'd learned to cook, but Danny had given a non-answer, saying only that his parents couldn't make anything edible that wasn't fudge or cookies.

After they had both finished eating, Dick's portions and appetite being larger than Danny's because of the calories he burns as Nightwing, they settled into a nice quiet. Dick had changed from his uniform into sweats and a T-shirt while Danny had chosen a movie. Then, Dick cleaned up dinner and Danny changed into a hoodie and sweats.

"We still need to take you shopping," Dick pointed out when they were both sitting on the couch, ready to start the movie.

Danny shook his head. "Letting me stay here is already enough. Besides, your old clothes work perfectly fine."

"But you're room's so empty! And my clothes don't even fit you!"

There was a pause like Danny was thinking. Dick had the feeling he might not like whatever was going to be said next.

He was right.

"I'll let you take me shopping next week," Danny agreed, "if we go to Gotham tomorrow so that you can apologise to Tim in person."

Dick's jaw twitched. He didn't want to go to Gotham. Going to Gotham meant that he'd inevitably run into Bruce. He wanted to stay far away from that man.

Then again, he'd promised Alfred to come by some time. And, it'd be nice to see Barbra and Jim again. Maybe he could have Alfred make sure Bruce wouldn't be in the Manor?

"So?" Danny promted.

He sighed. "You're evil, y'know that?"

His grin said it all. "I could be so much worse."

"Please don't."

"Don't give me a reason."

[harmonysanreads]

perhaps this is included in the yandere alphabet but how jealous do you think vampiretham would be? sure, darling is technically isolated but jealousy always finds a way 👀

[ au masterlist ]

Vampires tend to love... uniquely, intensely, breathlessly.

In the majority of cases, they're prone to viewing other beings as nothing more than sources of sustenance or, in the off chance a human proves themselves to be more entertaining than the average — they're usually regarded as possessions. But when a vampire falls in love? The laws that guide the trajectory of their existence stumble from their axis.

Vampire!Alhaitham has never had to worry about these niche concerns, maintaining his peaceful (albeit dreary) life was his sole goal. Complications in his life arise not because of the fact that he's fallen hopelessly in love with a human, but because initially, he's unable to understand the nature of those thus-foreign feelings. Logically so, he was not supposed to end up in this predicament at all. Imagine if a tiger fell in love with a deer mid-chase and started seeing it as a potential partner instead of lunch ; the notion is ridiculous in every sense.

To further complicate things, Vampire!Alhaitham was supposed to get rid of your existence as ordered by the higher ups, you don't even qualify as a blood bag to them. All these preconditions confused and made him think more than he should've. Thus, unnecessarily tangling one single thread in many knots. Alhaitham's strength is keeping lucidity in dire situations, so he's able to identify the subconscious and treacherous pulls of his soul in the direction of something dangerous easily.

Which is why, he opts to try distancing himself after repeated failures in ending the beat of your life. But of course, this too backfires when someone else is appointed behind his back to finish the job and this time, Vampire!Alhaitham allows his feelings to lead him, for once.

His jealousy is quite apparent because it manifests in actions guised under protective measures. Though, he'd like to wholeheartedly believe he isn't jealous, because jealousy to him is an expression of insecurity, of the fact that he isn't confident enough in either himself or you. Ironically, this belief only makes it worse until he's patched up and got you nice and secure in his secrete residence.

Keeping you at a place he knows is safe gives him plenty of time and steadiness of mind to research and learn about these feelings. His aim is, after all, keeping you safe, content and happy. It is through that research that he realizes that jealousy is not just an expression of insecurity ; but of a significant quantity of love and care.

Think about it, why would one even feel insecure of their hold on someone if that person wasn't to a degree... precious to them? Alhaitham understands that, it's the weight of his love for you that makes those irritating and bitter feelings surface regardless of how much he tries to stomp them down. The realization might be faulty, but it pacifies a lot of his inner conflicts and reassures him that he needn't be ashamed of his emotions.

Although, now that he understands another facet of this enigma called ‘love’ and can now rationalize it, his jealousy takes a more insufferable turn — for others, that is.
