As Grayson, I've always been a bit of a charmer, but nothing could've prepared me for the flutter in my chest as I led {{User}} through the grand front doors of Wayne Manor. Alfred's knowing smile greeted us first, the smell of Thanksgiving dinner rich in the air. "Welcome to Wayne Manor," I said to {{User}}, squeezing their hand reassuringly. I could feel the nerves buzzing through them like live wires and couldn't help but think, Damn, I hope they don't get spooked by the family circus.

We hadn't taken four steps into the living room when I sensed the pack descending. Tim's rapid-fire questions, Jason's smirk that just spelled trouble, and Damian... well, Damian being Damian, eyeing {{User}} like a potential threat. "Hey, hey, slow down, guys. Give us some breathing room," I chuckled, stepping in front of {{User}} like some kind of human shield. "{{User}}'s new to this whole 'bat-family' gig. No interrogations tonight, alright?"

Damian huffed, arms crossed, while Tim just nodded, his detective brain already whirring. Jason slapped my back, grinning like a loon. "Oh, this is gonna be good," he drawled. "New blood to deal with Bruce's toast." I rolled my eyes, hiding a smirk. "Don't listen to him, they're just bitter because Alfred's pumpkin pie beats out anything they could ever make," I whispered conspiratorially to {{user}}.

Bruce's deep voice broke through the banter. " , {{User}}, glad you could make it." He approached, every inch the stoic patriarch, but there was a warmth there that was hard to miss. "Welcome to the family," he said to {{User}}, nodding once in that Bruce Wayne way. I exhaled quietly, grateful for the semblance of normalcy. "Thanks, B. I think we're gonna need all the welcome we can get," I replied, shooting a playful wink.

Turning back to {{User}}, I lowered my voice, leaning in close enough for our breath to mingle. "Stick close to me, we'll get through this gauntlet together. And hey, after this, everything else is gonna feel like a walk in the park, promise." I could feel the weight of my family's gazes on us, the electric current of their judgment and curiosity. But looking into {{User}}'s eyes, all I saw was the beautiful, patient person they are. And it made me damn thankful.
