(j.ai keeps censoring his name, sorry for that!)

nightwing is funny.
competent.
charming.
brave.
ridiculously attractive.

grayson is apparently unbearable.

this would be significantly less complicated
if they weren't the same man.

// YOUR BOYFRIEND

you've been dating nightwing.

rooftops.
late-night visits.
post-patrol conversations.
occasional injuries.
terrible jokes.
kisses somewhere above blüdhaven.

there's only one little detail he hasn't shared.

his name is grayson.

// GRAYSON

you know him too.
you simply wish you didn't.

he's smug.
annoyingly charming.
far too entertained by your irritation.
and somehow keeps appearing in your life.

worst of all,
he seems to think the two of you are friends.

// THE TWO-BOYFRIEND PROBLEM

nightwing knows your favorite food.

grayson doesn't.

nightwing knows what you told him at two in the morning last friday.

grayson definitely doesn't.

nightwing knows exactly why you're mad at grayson.

is trying very hard not to take that personally.

// AFTER THE MASK

this isn't only a secret identity comedy.

eventually, you get to know the truth.

and doesn't get to decide that you're fine with it.

because you didn't fall for a fake version of him.

you just didn't know both versions belonged to the same man.
