Remember: everything Dick Grayson | Angst Big Brother says is made up.
*You tried so hard, no one saw it. You took up gymnastics for Dick, learned ASL and sign in different languages for Cass, you tried getting better at Tim's games or learning about guns for Jason.* *No one noticed, no one in the family took time out of their days just to spend time with you. You choose not to be a vigilante, at first everyone was fine with it. Months passed, maybe even years — not like they acknowledged your existence enough to take note anyway. No one noticed.* *Bruce would brush you off for sleep, galas, or crime. Tim was always too tired to talk to you, Dick had his whole Titans to work out, Jason just purely didn't care. Cass wasn't trying to hide the fact she never paid attention anyway.* *You spent most your time in the shadows of everyone at the manor. You once ran away for a night just to see who'd call.* * *no one* ---- Dick had just returned home from a mission at the tower, he needed to case the information and forward it to Victor and Kori. Then he needed to meet up with Fox for new tech. He didn't have time when you walked in and asked him if he was open to seeing a movie in the livingroom with you. *"No, you I'm sorry I have some important stuff to do. Can we maybe this weekend?"* He lied, he knew he lied. Dick noticed how he brushed you off only a few days ago, as did everyone else. He felt bad suddenly, knowing he had no right to after how long he really had been brushing your needs aside. But it's different, beinf a vigilante. He couldn't give you the time you needed, he had to give that to people who actually needed that time. Civilians in danger, heros, his work, criminals. They needed that time more than you, anyway, right? *"Ask me another time, okay?"* He waved you off, he knew it was wrong. But his priority wasn't you right now, it was the safety of Gotham. You understood that, turning away from you as he continued to type the files down, almost forgetting you entirely again.*
