The afternoon sun flooded the apartment room with light. Kory must have left the curtains open again. Either that or like usual, she enjoyed the sunlight. That's who she was. And she was a day person. Where Dick lived for the night life and vigilante work. Then again, it was easy to turn Kory into a night person.
Dick had gotten home early from patrol the city in a squad-car. Luckily little to no paper work that day. So he had gone to Kory's to join her for lunch. And after that he had decided to just crash on the couch that afternoon while Kory had gone out for a photo shoot.
She must have had most of his stuff in the wash. All he could find was his black pair of sweatpants and one of his white muscle shirts. And from there, he had literally crashed.
And there he lay on his stomach, glancing around, his eyes adjusting to the strong light.
Dick wondered how long he had been out for. He swear he had set an alarm on his phone. But at the moment, he was too tired to reach out right a way to grab it.
There wasn't much for him to do that afternoon. He had taken care of his night work as well earlier that morning. So, he wasn't in any hurry.
He could hear some noises around the apartment. Figuring Roy was probably about by now, it might be a good time to start thinking about getting up.
The thought has crossed his mind, but he decided against it the moment. He lay his head back down burying it in the pillow. At that time dozing off again.
There was more stirring going on within the living-room. Roy must have come out of his room for something.
Dick reluctantly started to stir. Pushing himself up on his elbows, he freed his left hand from under the pillow. Then tiredly tried to reach for his phone. At first not feeling it on the table where he thought he had left it.

It had been also a lengthy. Long day for Roy… Hard work. Started with Yoga. Because staying stretched was always key. Followed by a good practise session with the band and even taking to the streets. The outcome was ultimately better than last time. About 70 dollars more. Though perhaps with the coming winter, they felt bad for them or perhaps it was their stellar skills. Good looks. Either way something had clicked… That was followed by a short trip to the bunker. Check surveillance. Reports. Spent the last few hours, just playing spy mostly. Tweaking. Always, Roy was tweaking, because he was a perfectionist himself. Gotta be on top… But the intel was ultimately like fishing for the tiniest crumbs right now and Outsiders didn't like to sit and wait for the crime to hit. They needed to hit before. Be one step ahead… That was why portability was handy. Yep, Roy was potentially in touch wherever he went. How and with what? Well, thats best left a secret, unless one really wished to stripe search him and then some. Pretty much, be coming up fruit less. So where was the former Speedy to go? Home of course, well home of his friend's girlfriend. Roy's former teammate, not part time teammate, potential land lady… Oh, did he leave out the fact she was Hot? No kidding, she literally could heat your insides!
Hmmm, so after that trip through the familiar door. Yep, he even had a key. So no knocking required, of course chances of glimpsed perhaps made one a little eager, but one had to be respectful, if one wanted to keep their eyebrows and another part in tact… Roy faintly heard a snoring sound. A glimpse of Dick Grayson… Of course… The rumbling sounds of the washing machine and smell of bubblegum. Or watermelon. Either way the sweetness could only mean one thing… Not so much by instinct. As the male in Roy had stumbled out on to the balcony… Hmmm, there she was. The princess so golden from head to toe. Mainly covered by hair, from this angle. She was also sleeping. Perhaps this was a rarity to find them separated by a wall. Then Dick could be foolish at the better times… Though even as Roy could courage up to take further steps. Further peaks. He was heard. As the bubbly voice bursted out his name, only not as he normally imagined it would be, but still with that added sweet ring. As Roy's chances though he could play off just as innocently as Kory motioned in her frantic ways for a towel, covering herself, before reaching for her feet. Before he could even speak. Greet. Kory had glanced at the time on her phone… Cursed possibly worse than he could on his bad day in tamaranean.
"Late for work, Princess? This mean you won't be here for dinner?"
Roy could play off easily. Charming. Curiously. Though it was obvious. Ah, yes to be a model. He was almost sure he got the pattern. As Kory simply sprang out words, as Roy mindfully followed her back in. Before of Kory mentioning they'd have to do dinner without her… Awesome, he was sure between Dick and himself they could manage the kitchen. Or simply find a phone. Which, lets face it was a lot easier in this place than Dick's… As still, a sleep. Roy could simply shake his head, but all glimpses were risked away as Kory emerged in quicker time than Speedy from her room. Clothed. Mostly. With the sweet kiss upon Dick's sleepy head. One day who knows it could be Roy. Well, minus he was sure he'd be awake. As Roy thought amusingly as he crossed his arms...
"No problems, princess… I'll take good care of him… Just keep in range later… You know the drill."
Roy could simply grin. Kory simply could giggle. Hmmm, such an endearing sound. Of course he was sure he didn't need to remind her. Out of them all, she was probably the one he trusted the most, with in reason… Ah, with that the golden bombshell was gone… Hmmm, leaving nothing but Roy and Dick… Brilliant. Roy couldn't completely complain about a boys night in or out for that matter. If indeed this was gonna be a slower night for the outsiders. Roy watched aimlessly for a little while not of course out of shear desire, watching Dick sleep. But, the dude seriously looked worn out… Roy could cough a laugh. Either all the work was overlapping or Kory was to blame. Probably a mixture. The dude could merely rolling his eyes, then who could blame when he was getting action… Then there was faint buzzing sound of vibration. The phone on the table grasped Roy's attention… More than just attention. As soon, with no sign of Dick waking. Roy took it in palm. You know it would be rude not to. It could be important. Locked! Roy took the phone with him to his room. Stripping his clothes. Adding them mid way in the wash. The cycle barely even broke, before it jetted off again… Hmmm, it took not even guessing before Roy broke through the barriers. Then he read Dick sometimes better than he read himself. The tells… The tells… Ah, of course a sweet loving message from Kory. That she forgot the clothes in wash and to finish them off if he could… Followed by kisses and hugs and WOAH! That was defiantly something… Amazingly something. As Roy happily took to his room.
About ten minutes or so had passed by, before Roy was seen exiting his room. With pants on, but bare chested. Bare footed. As they made way back to the open lounge room, after all last thing Roy wanted was to get caught, but was this really something he could keep to himself…. It did seem likely. As he also had his phone in hand. Entering the room. Just in time. Whew! As he could see Dick stirring. Waking. Roy sharply placed Dick's phone back on the table. Potentially not in the exact same place, but that was hardly a factor… Really…. Roy went on his way to the kitchen. Grabbed a bottle of coconut water. Because, mmmm coconuts… As Roy casually took a seat on the single comfy chairs in the lounge room. Just spaces from Dick still waking up. Geez it was like watching jaws. In reach, but not quite… With a sip. Ah, Roy totally needed. Screwing the lid back on, placing it between his knees. Roy pulled out his own phone. Flicking through it. With knowing smiles. Ah, yes. This was the golden jack-pot. As the deep smirk was evident on his smile.
"You found air over there yet, buddy?"
Roy remarked questioningly over to Dick, who was waking. As Roy mustered a laugh. Mostly for he could have related. Finding his own air so to speak… Roy looked to Dick curiously, but perhaps Dick would even know. Shrugging even if Dick knew, Roy wasn't really sure he minded… It was the hell sure worth it all.

At first, Dick did not heed to Roy's words. His mind still trying to bring itself out of the hibernation mode it so desperately wanted to each. The kind of hours upon hours of sleep any normal human being would get in a day.
Eventually his hand found his phone slightly farther a way from where he had placed it. He disregarded that fact, seeing as he might have tried to reach for it earlier only to push it away.
After grabbing the phone, he brought it down to his level. Looking at the time, he set it back on the table again. Had he actually gotten four hours of sleep in that afternoon. A possible record for his afternoon off.
Dick started to sit up as he swung his legs off the couch. He's bare-feet touched against the cold wooden floor. Leaning forward he rubbed his eyes a bit. It was still to bright in the room. He ran one hand through his already messed up hair. It was most likely due to Kory running her fingers through it earlier.
He looked over at Roy, hearing the laugh that came from him. Then Roy seemed to be giving him a bit of a puzzling look.
"What are you staring at? Not like I haven't crashed here before," Dick replied.
Glancing at the clock on the wall he added,"Ok, maybe not quite so late in the day."
His tone was by no means harsh. It was just the voice of someone warn out. Or rather, just getting up.
At that Dick finally stood up and headed into the kitchen to get a glass of water. He more or less shuffled his way there as he was still adjusting to being up again. After retrieving the water, he leaned on the counter. Still feeling like there was something he missed.
"What's keeping you so amused this afternoon," Dick replied as he took another sip of his water.
He had yet to really check through his phone. And did not take alarm to the fact that his phone had been out of place by a bit.

There was still the harmless chuckles extended from Roy's position. Not that he could totally knock his buddy, but hey they were dudes. It was almost second nature to give each a hard time every now and then. Of course with in reason… As his hands were taken mostly by his phone. As was for the most part his eyes. Attention, but his darker eyes certainly peaked. Finally the amazing wonder of a boy was up… Seriously, he was questioning where the wonder was? But then, the public didn't get the chance to see him in such… AH! Roy wasn't even sure he could justify it with the right words. Seeing it was clarity. Of course even in that state, he was sure he'd toss a wing ding very pointedly at Roy… So…. Roy smiled with a deeper chuckle at Dick's question. Lowering his phone momentarily.
"That would be the ultimate question, 'WHAT?' The question regarding your presence, thats evident enough… Though why you spent your four hours here, is harder to grasp! Unless she already worked you to the bone?"
Roy simply toyed, throwing Dick's question back at him. As Roy joking question exactly 'what' he was looking at, rather than simply who. But, hey Dick was the one that questioned it first. He opened for Roy to mess with him…. The fact Dick was crashing here, it really didn't bother Roy at all. How could it? Roy was the guest here. He was truthfully just grateful for the roof over his head. Not that he could do with less banging, but it was nothing in comparison… Though Roy did suggest he was more curious in his choice of crashing. He was sure Kory was usually not one to simply leave Dick's side once home… Unless they were spatting or as Roy questioned with a curious eyebrow… Hmmm, if such a case. Roy could simply fist pump… Roy simply shook his head when Dick realised the time… Probably not even realising he had missed his girlfriend…
"Not that seeing you like this isn't uncommon, but perhaps you need to chill. Its sounding like a slow night! What you say about a guys night? Geez, I think the last time was when we finally got in that club without Gar getting us kicked out."
Roy enlightened with some form of concern. He was his friend. So of course he cared, you know the hugs were just saved for the moments they truly needed them… Though of course in even bringing the thought of a guys night, there was chances Dick would shut it down. Be all serious again, but Roy was sure he could manage to talk him into it… Eventually at least. It wasn't like he couldn't jump into action at the drop of a hat. Were they not trained in that? Plus free from girlfriends. Let's face it for all Kory's sweetness and strength, she wasn't any closer to being a dude. Dudes needed space from time to time. As Roy casually tossed the question. What guys night would entirely entail, he wasn't really sure. Stay in, order pizza, play video games, watch sport or out and find some ounce of trouble… Hang out of all things. It certainly seemed a long time ago, since they last did, when taken into account a real guys night. As Roy minority joked, bless their pal, but Gar could seriously ruin most of their plans… Roy's attention went back to the flipping of images on his phone. Mindfully entertaining himself as Dick was up and stumbled towards the kitchen. Roy's eyes graced Dick's phone. So far, Roy's behind was safe… Roy's mind certainly had plentiful thoughts at Dick's curious question as to what was exactly entertaining him. That could be a number of answers.
"To be frank, right now I'm not entirely sure. It is one or the other… Nope… Dude! Wow!"
As Roy said in shear honesty to what he was currently looking at, still he couldn't figure out exactly what it was. Of course Roy had assumed one of two things. As Roy positioned his phone around in different directions. Tilting his head to truly try grasp the best angle to figure out… Of course when he did, it was certainly not that he had expected. In fact as it was in his expression…. Far better… Oh, defiantly that was a keeper, with a thumbs up, whether Dick knew it was for him directly or simply in general… Though Roy had to wonder how that was physically possible, he had been surprised enough through the years to not be so shocked… Taking to his bottled coconut water. He needed the refreshment. Before Roy checked the mystery files he hadn't checked yet, oddly marked… Seriously? There was more in motion? Roy was sure he had ran them dry earlier, apparently not. As the grin broadened on his face. His eyes brightened. He was almost tempted to uncheck the mute button, but Roy wasn't sure he entirely needed it.
"Oh, you know Kory sent me another one them cute kitten videos… She wasn't lying, it seriously can purr!!!Oh, speaking of Kory won't be home for dinner… I assume you knew that? Hmmm, I thinking Gar would enjoy this!"
As that was the best thing Roy could come up, that could potentially describe it and it certainly wouldn't be the first of Kory to actually send people funny animal clips from time to time… As Roy's eyes mindfully danced at what was on his phone, between glances to Dick… Hmmm, wow! Roy laughed subtly, but deeply as Roy shook his head. Remarking the 'purring'… As his eyes lingered at that sight, but momentarily putting his phone down, Roy mentioned Kory had said she wouldn't make it home for dinner tonight. Adding to the possible guy freedom… Roy paused shortly as he raised a curious brow, as he questioned. Assuming Dick would probably already know… If the couple in deed eventually talked today… Well, Dick knew now… Before eyes glancing back down to his phone. Pondering whether to seriously keep all this to himself. He wouldn't of course be totally crossing boundaries, but dude. Roy smiled as he openly commented whether Gar would like it. Mostly just to himself. Of course the chuckles also granted from the fact Dick had all, but a clue. Though that was probably just a matter of a coupled factors.

"That's because Gar at that time thought the way to impress a girl was to not only to act like a wolf, but to be a wolf that one time. Another reason to not listen to Aqualad," Dick replied.
He past over the question of hanging out. Maybe an over look of not wanting to address it. Though it could be a sign of thought over the matter. And even in Bludhaven it seemed rather quiet that day out on police patrol that day.
Then returning to the earlier question, Dick looked to Roy. A knowing look that told Roy, he'd probably had been right about his day.
"I got off patrol duty earlier today. It was easy to come here rather than just go to my place...beside Kory found out I was off early and we had plans to head out for lunch," Dick replied.
The had section of his statement was a easy sign to Roy. They had not made it out to lunch as they had original planned. He didn't respond more to that.
Dick just relaxed against the counter. Drinking his water contently as Roy kept talking. He glanced over every once in a while only to see strange reactions Roy was having to what ever he was watching.
He seemed rather impressed more than amused. Ok, something was weirder than usual about Roy. The thumbs up...what was that for.
Roy had drawn more of Dick's attention now. And he did not believe what Roy was saying about it being a cat video.
"Yeah, I know," Dick replied.
Not making further conversation over the matter. This was giving a slight hint that he may have had a little spat with Kory either. Something minor enough that he hadn't walked out of the place.
Dick could be rather defensive over some matters. Ok, maybe a lot defensive. And she might have struck the wrong cord at one point. Possibly having ended a mood between them.
The subtle laughter from Roy and the glances up at him made him question Roy's actions now. He wasn't buying it. He started to wonder just what went on between all them while he had been passed out on the couch. Wondering how long Roy had actually been hanging around.
"Boy, you must really like cats to be having this much fun watching that video," Dick replied. Not true hints of him being suspicious.
He took one last sip from the glass and set it down. He walked over to his phone. Seeing the text message on his phone that had been opened. A new one he hadn't seen. He glanced over it. Giving a slide glance at Roy, he looked back down at his cell and started typing something.
It would only be one moment before Roy would receive a text that said 'ass'. And it would go from there.

The position really hadn't changed. Perhaps Roy sank a little deeper in the chair he was sitting in. It was after all a comfy chair, for some reason it felt even more comfy. As though Roy leaned back. Sinking his own slightly scruffy set of hair back into the cushion of the back of the chair. Stretched out his legs. Resting his bare feet on the coffee table. Sinking in even further. As of course his fingers didn't stray far from his phone. Though of course he wasn't completely taken from the current surroundings. Nor the conversations now started, even if Roy was slightly more knowing than usual, but hey this was Dick. As Roy chuckled up a deeper laugh at Dick's recollection of the guys night outs. Ah, those were the times to be young and reckless. Not everything had changed. Just perhaps a little less reckless or just a tiny bit more smart about it.
"Ah, I swear that kid is made up of bad pick up lines. I suppose a couple have to take eventually just to even it out… Aqualad! How could i forget about the 'fishstick!'"
Roy responded knowingly all to well. He could simply shake his head, roll of his eyes, but Gar really wasn't all bad. He just had his traits, some a little more profound than others. Roy smirked and chuckled. Tipping his head back ever so slightly. Motioned his hand to add to the balancing… Though at the mentioning of Aqualad. Roy held back, well almost the laughter trying to burst out of his lips. How had he forgotten that… Oh, that was priceless… Although to be honest, you throw such interesting bunch heroes and vigilantes out into the real world, its bound to be little different. But, if they were the freaks, they were gonna be freaks together. That was the beauty of that unity. They could be themselves. Both personally and professionally… Yeah, they were long past camping trips to the grand canyon, Roy was sure, least for the former as his eyes glanced to Dick… Unscrewing the cap and took a sip as he listened, least one would assume as Dick talked about his day. Almost fighting a smirk as Dick said it was easy to come here? When his apartment was in view from here… Though, Roy knew as well as Dick did, that wasn't what he meant…
"Ah yes, the convenience! Plus I take it, you least see the floor in this place? Although I'd question after last night? Please promise me I won't have to drag your ass from the 9th floor? I don't trust that lady or her 'pies'… You recall what happened last time?"
As simple as Roy could phase the words with the simple play of his eyebrows. Hey, he couldn't say he wouldn't if he was in such a situation. Dick, well, he had the knack of trying to play it down, even though everyone pretty much knew what was going on. As Roy could joke about Dick's place, it wasn't hard to imagine. Not that Roy was exactly tidy himself, but he could appreciate when someone else provided it. Not to mention cook among a list of other things. Thus the convenience. As Roy could ponder the question of the state of the floor in other parts of this apartment. Looking to Dick suspiciously. Wasn't anything new, but certainly some nights. Roy had to wonder if they'd really fall under or cause such chaos, that Roy have to break in and play rescue. Joking about the dangers of lower floors. Hey, the lady always gave her the eyes. It was enough to creep him out, no matter how much Kory said she was sweet. That's what they said the last time they met a lady making pies… Of course that until they found out just how personable those pies were. Roy shivered thinking about it. Ok, maybe he was over selling the paranoid route, but still CREEPY!
"Dude, seriously! How do you do it? Hmmm, maybe Kory has a sister… Oh, wait… Never mind!"
Was Roy's touch of jealousy shining through, well at the very least Roy could admit to being just that tad bit envious. Not that he was of course completely out gamed with the ladies, but of course sometimes it was about the one. Not entirely settling down, but the ones that a little more… But, Dick certainly had it all and then some! The dude had it together, least most of the time, but even when he fell short… Roy openly commented if Kory had a sister. Of course as he paused, he was quickly reminded. That would be quite the opposite and Roy certainly didn't need that kinda drama. Not to mention she was kinda a bitch… Though he was reminded of the one closer like a sister… Donna… Hmmm, Roy was sure he wasn't completely hopeless. He'd just stick to his day job.. As his eyes and attention was brought more promptly at his phone. Was it kinda creepy? Sure, but it wasn't anything short of something a dude had least tried to at some point. Besides, there was less harm in looking. Though Roy frowned faintly at Dick's more dower response. It was either he was missing her or there was the other kind of heat between them.
"What did you do this time?"
Roy casually rang out in curiosity, if indeed he did something. In more often than not, it was seemingly the dudes fault even when it wasn't, as it seemed in most cases dealing with women. Was Kory an exception? Perhaps more forgiven, than most, but then he'd seen her ticked before… Scratch that, he'd seen it plenty. He'd lost count the many pot plants that missed his head or the deadly attack of spoons. That was an entirely different story… Though Roy was sure he could be up to playing Dr Phil… Though speaking of Doctor. As Roy's grin almost doubled at his phone… Paying little to no attention to Dick giving him the curious stare down. It wasn't new that Dick could be a little short…
"Oh, Boy! You have no idea!"
As easily and as simply as Roy could state it and pretty much thawing Dick's words back at him. As Roy's eyes almost widened. Barely lifted to Dick's direction. Were these gonna be saved? That was questionable, but one couldn't blame him entirely for looking. Of course if it was going to get any heavy, he was sure he'd be respectful, because surely there was a level of decency somewhere… Leaving the cap of his bottle for the time being, flinging it on the little side table. More coconut water. As Roy harnessed a grin. It was rather hard not to react. Noting Dick's presence back into the room, but not so much that he had picked up his phone. Surely Roy could cover his… Tracks so to speak. Ah, at least drag it out for what it was worth. Before long there was the familiar beep from his phone. Was it a reply? Another? Oh, nope! Caught potentially red handed.
"ASS? Oh, I'd defiantly say ten out of ten… Yours? Hmmm, maybe a four?"
Dropping the phone back on his lap, but certainly with in glance. As Roy looked from it to Dick, to of course offer his comment in person. Ten out of ten certainly seemed well… Just…. As Roy could nod and wink. Glancing back to the phone… Dick's certainly wasn't high on his kinda of list. As Roy waved a hand to the maybe. Four was probably generous. God, knows how much Kory liked saving it. Before Roy offered his buddy a grin. A look. Whether or not he was officially caught, Roy was sure could try and play it either way.

"I still remember the first time he went out on one of our nights out. He was just like a regular fish out of water," Dick said.
Yes, that was his corny puns kicking in a bit. A trait he had taken with him as he had gotten older. Though he had dropped a few as well. Dick and Roy were notorious for their chatter. Which one was worse was hard to say.
"Hey, it's not like there is trash all over the place. I just have it organized for my convenience," Dick defended his apartment.
Ok, it wasn't the most organize. Though it wasn't like he had left his suits out. Or anything that would lead someone to him being Nightwing.
"No destruction this time, I promise," Dick replied jokingly over the things that go on between him and Kory. "Don't remind me." He had then made a comment over Roy's last statement.
At Roy's mention of Kory's sister, he shook his head slightly. He could remember her. Not the warmest welcome when she came to earth.
Then next comment he hadn't really seen coming. Though Roy knew them too well.
"What do you mean what did I do," Dick replied.
His tone suggested that yeah, he may have had something to do with it. But his attitude reflected that he was maybe slightly still ticked at Kory over it. It would come to pass rather fast. As the text Kory had sent him had shown that.
Roy's grin and response had confirmed his suspicion at this point. Roy had done a fine job at covering his tracks. But the opened texted that was new to Dick's eyes, had been opened. A fatal move on Roy's part. It would be rather hard to undo opening a text, that or resend it from the same phone if it wasn't there.
"I'm gonna have to start sleeping with my phone in my pocket for now on," Dick replied.
Though he realized he had just set himself up for more teasing over the matter. The subject at hand was known between them.
The thought of going after Roy's phone came to mind. But if he had indeed gotten a few photos...and he had a feeling it was more video as well....he'd had another idea.
"Well I'm going to make sure you don't get to keep those files," Dick replied.
He made a run across the room headed for Roy's room. The computer would be the answer. Sure he could destroy the computer, but Roy was his pal. He wasn't about to destroy it, leaving Roy to buy another one. He had tech that he'd be able to hack it and delete the files he wanted. That or he could just hack it himself.
As to what Roy would do, he was sure he'd pick up on right away what Dick meant by. If Roy was going to invade his privacy by using his property, he was just going to have to pay him back by attacking his property.

There was nothing like fish jokes or the jokes in general. Wasn't unlike the guys at times to mess around as such. In a manner of hanging out. Chilling. On the occasion, partying. Otherwise Titan style. Those were a little ways in the past, but hey. They were still young. Maybe not completely dead. As Roy could muster a chuckle from his position still just as comfy in the lounge chair. Feet on the coffee table. Refreshment at hand and of course not to forget… The entertainment. Hmmm! Maybe there was a little of both. Roy's eyes would glance, following aimlessly at Dick now up and even somewhat rested, the dude could be defensive. Ah, amusing either way!
"So thats the reason for all the boxes? The organisation! I always just figured, they were to keep one foot out the door! I mean dude, if I was in your position… I mean apart from already living here. Which I thank-you, for not kicking me out.."
There was a little assumption in Roy's voice, he hadn't been in Dick's place all that often. Least not here, but well, he was known for the many unpacked boxes. Basically moving in without truly moving in. Partially Roy was sure it was not wanting to find a home. Than, perhaps it was rebelling from the life in the Mansion. Who knew, either way it wasn't exactly showing signs of settling. As of course Roy mildly poked fun. Given Roy could certainly be untidy to say the very least. Raising his eye brow at the mentioning. The expressing of the position Dick was currently in. Between places. What was here. Ok, did Roy seriously need to go into examples. Explanations. Because, Roy could be quite content. Most men would be. Well, as Roy said, he was a little in that position. So far as living here. He grinned his cheeky smile. Oh, who was he kidding. He wasn't much of a threat really. She'd kick his ass, even if she did with such kindness, he'd soon regret it. He was sure he was gonna find a way to make it up to them.
"Just remember if you broke it, you bought it! Now, how many times has that been you?"
Roy certainly took Dick's word for it. There was no signs of cracks in the walls, but he really didn't need Dick trying to paint the picture. No, not entirely. As his eyes glanced at his phone. Oh, the trouble he could get his ass in and out of… Though his playful. Amused eyes went to Dick, just reminding him of the rule of thumb. Just you know, reminding who was responsible. Roy couldn't say he'd really want to lend a hand in that… As he mildly broke out in a laughter, questioning Dick how many times he'd been the thing, broken or least near it. Roy had seen enough of the tamaranean in battle. Geez, even against vases. Wasn't much of a stretch. Oh, that was amusing, not that Roy nearing the whipping sounds. Setting more comfy in his chair. Almost giggling to himself like a child. Settled mostly down. Ah, yeah he had come home just in time it had seemed. After all the days of training and mission work with the outsiders. Even his personal things in between, he was quite hoping this night was going to be a most off one. It wasn't like they needed to be stealing all the work from the cops. Of course, there probably be something. Roy could just keep up on the eye brow raising as Dick pondered back Roy's question.
"Ah, Dick you know as well as I do, its more often us guys fault. Even when we don't mean to be jerks… I mean I could be wrong. Whatever it is, you can cough it up if you want or not!"
That was maybe a little easier to say than when Roy was on the other end himself. Because it wasn't like Roy could be defensive, but hey at the end of the day, he could possibly admit it. Even if it was potentially deep down. Even sitting here, noting half the shit he had done, yeah even if it wasn't his fault, he would take it now, even just for a moment. Maybe he'd be better off. Maybe not. It was matter of water over bridges, eventually. Not that Roy was straight out calling Dick a jerk, but if it had been Kory being a jerk, that would potentially surprise him. Not that she was lessen from mistakes. They just would hardly seem out of a place of rudeness or such harness. Apart from the fiery anger at times. Kory was more often kind. Very kind. Perhaps a little clingy at times. As Roy raised the curiosity in his voice had it been Kory. Maybe even partially her fault. Maybe in the end it was a little of both. What ever it was, certainly was eating one of end of the former boy wonder… With the offer he could talk about it, get some perspective if Roy had one for what ever the issue was this time or simply be a friend. If or not Dick wanted too… Even if it got a little heart felt, Roy was sure they could keep it manly enough.
"I think you're teasing the wrong person, Dick! But, I'm sure Kory will be pleased to have something to grab."
There was certainly a lot of things. A lot of ways Roy could have teased Dick for what had just come out of his mouth, Roy kept it more or less streamline. Putting his phone down now. Certainly Dick was aiming for protection for his phone, to say Roy was that desperate for it, well no. It was presented to him and he took it. Like it said the message could have been important. Like remember to feed the fish. If they had fish. He of course kept the laughing at the minim. He was sure when tables turned, Dick would have done the same or well in a similar fashion. Roy hardly minded if this meant Dick found out. Again, he couldn't say his tracks were greatly covered nor that he had tried hard. Taking the last sips from his coconut water. Ok, he had defiantly found out. As Roy mostly sat back and watched Dick frat about. It was amusing when he was over dramatic or trying his knack of revenge. Roy probably needed to be a little worried. Dick certainly could be crafty. At Dick's words, Roy assumed he'd have to guard his own phone, but no… Instead he was darting off to his room. Why? His computer? Roy half rolled his eyes, before getting to his feet. He almost forgot Dick's second best trait. He was a hacker. He just had no idea what he planned on hacking, but let's see what damage he can bring. With that Roy got to his feet. Evidently didn't move so much like speedy, but he made up for good enough time. As he reached the doorway, momentarily leaning against the frame. The laptop resting comfortably open on the desk in the left corner.
"So your plan is to hack the computer? You do realise it has back up! Unless you wish to piss off the band, the best you could do is steal lyrics! Personally, I think you're overreacting! Its not like I've seen anything I haven't before… Well, maybe a couple of things."
Roy raised the question to Dick as he lurked at the door way. He could certainly try and stop him, but he wasn't that eager to fight him. Maybe he had enjoyed toying with him a little to much. What else could he do, when the boy wonder was so gullible sometimes. Pointing out he wasn't stupid enough to have back up. Where that was, could many things. The computer wasn't exactly a personal computer, it was personal to him, but it mostly work related. Whether for Outsiders to take home or music related. As the worst really Dick could do was steal lyrics, but then like Roy mentioned he would be the least he'd had to worry about… Remained calm. Cool. Certainly observing just to what lengths Dick was aiming to go. It was certainly nice to see him focused on something else for a change. Even if he had realised it yet.

"I'm not accustom to just settling in some where. It's the way of a circus kid. You grown up with very little and always ready to move," Dick said.
Once again playing the old card he often did as for reason to not unpack much. He was always so flighty. Could he help it at times? Wayne Manor was the longest stay anywhere in his life.
Dick looked to Roy over the comment of breaking something.
"How many times have you broken something in this place and haven't replaced it? Besides, it comes with the responsibilities of keeping each other happy. I think it's quite equal for how many times I've gotten burnt. I've actually gotten a scar on my back from one more recent," Dick replied.
A slight grin came to his face. A little bit of pain was a small price to pay for what he had going with Kory.
"Things are going alright. We had a bit of a disagreement. What's it to you," he said.
That was the end to that conversation. Dick was not willing to say any more about it. A bit touchy maybe over it. Or he just wanted to forget it.
At the time that Dick had run off into Roy's room, he took a seat at the computer. Roy followed soon after, standing in the door way. Alright so Roy was telling the truth. There was nothing really on the computer.
"I could go through and delete a few things," Dick replied.
He glanced around the room for a moment as he spoke again.
"It's one thing to talk about it, but to watch it...Those vids and pics aren't exactly for your eyes," Dick replied.
His sight set on the guitar in the far corner. He got up and headed toward it. Picking it up and lightly strummed the strings of it.
"Nice guitar. Wonder how much you pay to have the strings replaced on it. Or maybe a repair or two to it," Dick said.
He raised an eyebrow. If he wouldn't react over the computer, maybe the guitar would hit the right cord with Roy.

Ah, yes! The whole life in the story of Dick Grayson. How could Roy possibly forget. It must be a few years now he'd seen him in tights and actually putting on a performance… Well, Roy couldn't truly say he'd seen… Sitting back in the lounge chair. Listened to the former boy wonder, just chirp out the excuses… Not that he couldn't truly blame him. As not to be completely feeling Roy didn't care about Dick. He did. He most certainly did. If he had a home boy, this was it… Even he was little high maintenance. Put his face in his palm momentarily as Dick called himself a circus kid. Really? Kid?
"Surprisingly I do get it… But I hate to break it to you pal. You ain't a kid anymore… Lets be honest here for a moment, you're an idiot. If this is seriously why you don't want to move in? Because you're afraid Kory will shackle you to the wall… You need to stop fearing that if you move on, you will forget everything… You might find out when it is too late… Everything you ever really wanted has passed you by…"
With as much sincerity as Roy could have said simply. He understood. He understood quite clearly from Dick's side. He wasn't all that different. They were in ways the same as they were different. Though it really had been years from what Roy knew that Dick had been in the circus. There certainly weren't any tents, that Roy knew about, but the experiences certainly weren't going to up and leave him, but he really wasn't a kid anymore. Even if Dick didn't mean with that slip, but he was seriously sounding like a child if the reason he lived the way did. Didn't take a leap to move in, was that he would feel unable to move. That he'd feel trapped. Perhaps Roy shot that out a little left of field, but he didn't think that was fair at all to put on Kory. Now, that wasn't Roy at all saying Dick should move in, that was his deal, he just had a little problem if that was why… Kory was a lot of things, but Dick had to know. Hell even better than he did, that Kory would be the last person to trap, anyone. Not after knowing where she had come from. Been through. From where Roy saw it, Dick was just in general afraid. Perhaps really of nothing, he just perhaps needed to admit that, rather than look for excuses… Dick was a man, he could make his own choices… Though as Roy's voice cut back. Perhaps as he suggested Dick need to move on, he was in part talking of himself. Perhaps anything Roy said wouldn't hold merit, but he meant what he said, that if Dick did choose his path, he may not like the downfalls to come… His eyes did lower knowingly. More than he wished he had realised this earlier, such as life.
"Thats irrelevant… I make up for it, with charm…Ah, the bliss. I should have known, Kory sings about it nearly every morning… Well it really must be love if you are marking each other. Let me guess, this is followed by a sponge bath? Not to shabby man! Good for you!"
There was a difference. Certainly when put against the quantity. Not that for both weren't accidents, but lets face it. Given the couples track record, the accidents were somewhat expected. Given what it was, Roy did fix somethings, though seriously he wasn't gifted enough to put a cup back together. He was only human after all. Of course on occasion he cook or tried to help out around the house to some extent… Or left with his charm, as Roy offered his most charming grins. It was almost infamous… Though this was hardly about him… This was about Dick. Kory. Of course. As his hand played very lightly at his phone… The happiness between the two, when they really were like two love birds, it wasn't like Roy didn't hear about it. Not that it was totally sickening, but well being the third wheel, was not really a great position to always be in… Roy lightly remarked on the singing, whether it was in the shower or not. He really could only use his imagination. Expressing a raise of his brows to Dick… Which then lowered at the mentioning of the burns. The damage course between the two. Love. Just love. Just what Roy needed to hear. Not that he didn't have experience with the super powered, but wow… Roy didn't think he really need to raise concern if Dick was unhappy if being partially burnt, because that was followed by the all knowing grin on his face. That face he knew he had scored, Roy certainly would give him that. There was a play in his questioning, but hardly a question. He wouldn't be surprised and well, what man really would turn down a sponge bath by a woman. By such women. If it weren't for the space and Roy having to get to his feet, he really would have given him a high five.
"Well I guess I can be the shoulder, if Kory needs some comfort… Though you may wanna think about apologising, otherwise you may be giving yourself sponge baths."
Roy belatedly teased Dick, he was living under this roof with her, undoubtedly he was gonna hear about if not, he'd get the backlash. With a hand Roy playfully brushed off his shoulder. Ok, he was being a little bit of a smart ass, he was sure Dick would kick his ass before he truly made a move. If he did actually have any intentions… After his short pause, he added a jab Dick maybe giving himself baths and lets face it, was hardly as enjoyable alone and Roy certainly wouldn't offer. Roy chuckled mildly. He was after all only looking out for Dick's best interest… That interest of course being a whom… Naturally of course Dick would pick up the vibe. Find out that his phone was touched and ultimately guessed Roy went wild with it. perhaps someone should have kept better tabs. Smiled a little darkly to himself. Dick really was grasping more at straws than he realised… He was tripping and trying to revenge the tousle, by going to Roy's room… Not long Roy followed the foot prints… Lingered in the doorway. It was true, he just wasn't so strung up on computers. He was good with tech, but the most valuable information would probably be linked for Outsiders, Dick would not be only trying to harm Roy, but the team. Although like Roy stated… There back up. Lyrics maybe, but again Dick would be pissing off more than Roy… Roy smiled a little with uncomforted for Dick's part as Dick said there be little… Yeah, that was kinda what Roy had said, bird brain… Ah, well, let hims do his thing. Roy remained still calm with his arms casually crossed.
"Well I wouldn't know to talk about it, had I not seen it… I really didn't know you could put your leg up that high… Oh, I'm sorry… Who were they for then?"
That worked both ways right. Least Roy assumed as he responded, with a smug smile. Yeah, he was maybe intentionally getting on Dick's nerves. Pulling his leg so to speak… He really did it to himself. Still remained in his casual state, before rise as he mentioned Dick's extra talents. Impressed was hardly the word as the smile grew. Knowingly of course. Dropped his hands teasingly innocent that he was apologetic that he honestly didn't know they were not for him. He found what he found. His curiosity getting the better of him and he went and cause more of a riot… Teased the question who were they for… Although in all seriousness to what Dick was assuming, maybe he needed to guard it more carefully. Otherwise the chances of it falling in even more dangerous hands. Then you know there just one way for it to go.. Youtube. The media. Then maybe they were all a little screwed… Ok, now this was a threat. When Dick moved away from the compute and picked up Roy's baby… Seriously what had it ever done to him… He could have possibly thrown darts at Dick with his eyes. Especially over something like this.
"Ok, lets not do something we will regret. I didn't realise you'd be this hung up on revenge… You really can be such a drama queen!"
Almost in some effort, a plea Roy raised his hands up. It would be more in convenient if his guitar did get damage. Sure it might be fixable, hell he probably manage to get a new one, but that was hardly the point. It was his baby or least close to it… Dick really was out to make Roy pay. Revenge usually wasn't Dick's game plan, unless you really pissed him off. Although perhaps he should be a little relieved Dick went for the heart, rather than trying to physically fight him, because he undoubtedly would usually lose… Even though he was technically losing right now and he didn't know it… Roy then couldn't help his amusement, at how dramatic Dick was actually being… Whilst he pulled out his phone. For a genius, he hadn't even looked at Roy's phone.
"Here, I'll give you my phone, if you step away from the guitar… You'd see this was all a misunderstanding."
Leaving his right hand out with the phone in place. Mostly waving a white flag in the form of allowing Dick to take his phone. Delete what he wanted. Even if he had back up elsewhere, but still a peace offering and as Roy stated Dick was perhaps overreacting. Of course he may have forgotten to unlock his phone, but that a minor detail.

"Boy, you really don't get it when I was making a reference to the past. I wasn't saying I was," Dick replied.
He didn't respond to the rest of the comment. That would just lead to an argument. And Dick wasn't feeling up to fighting Roy at that time.
Dick ignored his comment and taunting at that time. Roy was just trying to get under his skin and he wasn't going to let him.
What ever was on the phone, he'd find a way to get it away from him.
"You're an idiot," Dick replied.
Not the best comeback. But Roy had it coming considering he was pushing his buttons now on the subject of his issues.
As they now stood in Roy's room, Dick kept a hold of Roy's guitar. Haha, he knew that would turn the tables. He strummed the string a bit. Fiddling around with Roy for the reaction.
And it was rather amusing, seeing how fast Roy ended up surrendering the phone. This caused Dick to back off a bit. Alright, he'd give it a shot.
So, he set the guitar back on its stand. And with that he made quick action to grab the phone from Roy. And of course to find it locked. Though it only took moments for Dick to hack it and break the pass-coding system.
He found s few of the pictures and videos that had been on his phone. Some more private and a few just plain embarrassing.
But then he came across something. Roy had a a picture of himself in one of his Nightwing suits. What the hell?!
Then he looked through a few more only to find something mildly entertaining. He then placed and arm around Roy's shoulders, facing the screen of the phone away from him.
"Dude, for one...never put my suit on. You don't fill it out," Dick started. "And two...think Gar would get a laugh out of a few of your personal images?"
Dick sent a few to his phone to steal the images while he had the chance. And he put Roy in a head lock.
"This is what you get for trying to play games with me and steal from my phone."

Touchy. So very touchy. Was Dick Grayson, seriously that insecure? Possibly. Not to mention defensive. As Roy sat back, certainly it wasn't he, that trailed the words Dick had phased. Now as Dick spat his rebuttal. He had to wonder had Dick actually listened to his own words. No he may not be a kid anymore nor a circus kid, but relating to how things were then and how it effected him today, well it wasn't hard for Roy to draw the lines between the dots. Rather pointing out the map, Dick unknowingly had drawn out for himself. Sometimes people really wonder why they do something and hardly realise how sometimes its obvious right in front of them. Then perhaps Roy was grasping at straws, who knows. He could shrugged, given he was sure he hadn't entirely brought it up…. Not so much of a smug smirk given the lack of what Dick said, Roy couldn't pretty much tell he was biting his tongue. Whether to avoid a fight or merely to save his ass because Roy wasn't entirely wrong. Either way Roy didn't feel he was entirely losing if there was to gain anything, right here. Right now...
"Oh my bleeding heart… Way to puke out originality."
Playing wounded from the sharp comment Dick had made, well sharp, it was more mild and sadly over used. Roy reacted with putting a hand over his heart. Oh, the pain. With a mild look on his face, though most prominently showcasing a smirk now. Not that Roy wasn't smart enough to take the hint, that Dick didn't want to play down that road. Roy could stop, wasn't like he hadn't scored himself other entertainment. Though Roy's shot at Dick's lack of originality was probably half lost as soon the bird brain, had taken flight down the hall. Chirping about things, he really didn't know the full extent of or maybe he did, but you gotta keep them guessing. As soon they found themselves more or less square in Roy's bedroom. Which was surprisingly tidy, minus a couple lost clothing. He couldn't say he was the most tidy one himself, but there was advantage from living under the roof of a princess. As oddly as that may sound… Perhaps Roy could have stood a little more ground, but there Dick was with his little boney fingers. Just touching Roy's guitar. This was almost like if Roy went around and messed with Nightwing's gloves. Ok, maybe that was highly more important, but Nightwing would feel bare without them. As would Roy feel without his baby.
"Don't even think of fucking with the strings… I'll have to spend another good hour tuning it back from your crap fest… I know where Kory hides your suits. Every frick'n one and you know what else, I know a window. You really want to remind Gotham of your short-short phase?"
With brown eyes that glared at Dick etching his filthy little hands, ok maybe that was over selling it, but still. The touching. Why did he even have to think about it. Eyes narrowed as Dick would etch nearer to the strings and he touched them. Not much Roy could say, as he remarked, protest from Dick really messing with them, whether breaking them or putting them out of tune. There was probably a better threat somewhere, lined up, but hell, the first thing that sprung was Dick's suits. Let's see how the people of Gotham would benefit from the public display of Dick Grayson's nighttime looks. All versions from tweener to whatever the hell he was now. Ok, perhaps it wouldn't get linked to Dick Grayson so much, given no one really knew, still… Of course Roy probably didn't think of the backlash from the tamaranean, but that really wasn't whom he was threatening right now… Thankfully Dick did finally put his guitar down and took Roy's offering of his phone. Really best be done with it. Before Dick went and did something he really regretted. It really didn't shock him that the lock wasn't a barrier for Dick and soon there he was looking through Roy's phone. Finding what Roy did take, some skin and some more skin, but certainly it was the more surprising moments he had kept. Ones you'd certainly unexpected. Naturally Roy assumed Dick would delete whatever he wished… Perhaps there was a gold nugget. Roy raised a mild brow at Dick's sudden change of reaction and sudden closeness. Now, this usually wasn't the situation where Dick grabbed and hugged Roy. Though threw his arm around Roy. Ah? Ok? Roy could see where this was going, putting out the phone before them and let out his threats. Roy breathed a sigh. Great. Just great. Half placed his face in his own palm.
"Oh, just fucking great… I suppose I did leave it a little stretched and sweaty for you, didn't I… It wasn't like I had a lot of choice… You try saying no to your girlfriend, then again what man in his right mind would refuse to play dress up with her… Who knows, maybe Kory is thinking of trading up… You really wanna traumatise the kid with my drunken selfies?"
So many weeks, hell it had to be a few months since Roy had moved in and on that very first day, yeah Kory played dress up with him. Put that down to a weird, yet warm way to welcome him in the rib. Getting this around certainly wouldn't offer him many favours, but well he was handled enough to take it. It was probably a little late now. Dick usually found his way. As Roy responded in slight amusement and teasing, saying he stretched it was maybe a lie, but who really knew, as Roy smirked a little to him. Cheeks certainly coloured, because right now he was practically caught red handed and he took it. Though certainly could swing it back, pointing out who's idea it had been in the first place or more importantly who also took the photos. Who knows, maybe there was a photo of them both in Dick's clothing, that was a weird thing to say out of your mouth. Not that Roy was full heartedly trying to rub in the fact they had played 'dress up', sure it was embarrassing, but given the chance of the undressing, he was sure Dick could see why he agreed. Of course like Roy said, saying no wasn't easy period with Kory. Raising a few eyes brows at Dick. A little elbowing, but that stopped as Roy looked to Dick to his phone, regarding sending photos to Gar. Apparently not just Roy making Nightwing more sexy… Roy merely questioned back if it was wise, not that Roy was worried.
"Yet you still proving to be the drama queen!"
Roy muffled his wordings out after suddenly having Dick wrap Roy's neck down into a head lock. This certainly could complicate things, as well as showcasing Dick's overreactions, but he didn't entirely leave Roy totally vulnerable. All Dick had taken a hold of was Roy's neck. His head, but all limbs were more or less abled move. To which Roy motioned in defence. A hand across to Dick's face. Potentially poking or hindering the eye, but mostly pushing his face back hopefully along with the rest of his upper body. Whilst below Roy's knee pushed Dick's knee forward. Basically aiming to sweep his legs under and potentially knocking Dick to the ground or bed which ever was behind them. Whilst finding the minor possible break now in the headlock, Roy went with and wrestled for his phone back.

"That phase was short lived," Dick reminded him. "I'd call that a bit more harsh compared to having to re-tune your guitar."
Retreating away from the guitar, Dick wasn't all that threatened by Roy. Though he was starting to find it rather amusing that Roy was taking him rather seriously. Ok, maybe Dick could be a bit too serious at times.
Was it becoming that difficult to figure out when he was and when he wasn't?
"Stretched? Yeah right," Dick gave a slight smirk. Roy's comment just made him laugh. He knew the truth. And he knew the suit wouldn't fit Roy. Given it was specifically designed for himself.
"Saying no to her is never easy on any occasion," he replied honestly. "As for traumatizing, maybe you are right. Even Gar has his limits."
Dick keeps him in a headlock as he says this at the time. What was the fun if they could joke around? After all the stress they've been through lately, it was about time to put aside the tensions of their lives.
Ok, so he hadn't taken full advantage of having the upper hand. He had left Roy some freedom. And now he was paying for it.
First Roy shoved his hand in his face, this caused Dick to lean back a bit to try and escape from him trying to blind him. Though he did not let go of the headlock. It was only when he felt his knees being taken out that he let got of the headlock in favor of saving himself from falling backwards.
Then again he wasn't left with much space for action. Though he had just enough reaction time to save his actions. And with his free hand he balanced himself off of Roy's back. At the same time performing a backwards flip only to land in a crouching position as he landed on the bed.
He knew how to save a situation when attacked. And it was then that he saw Roy coming at him.
"Really," Dick replied.
Before Roy would be able to go after him again, he'd do another flip pushing off Roy's shoulder to get away from him. And he was quick to remove his hand so Roy could grab his wrist.
"A drama queen. That's what you think of me," he asked as he landed. Now standing closer to the exit, Dick paged through the images on the phone again.
There he spotted some newer photos on the phone from the Outsiders. And quite a few of Roy and Supergirl hanging out. Just the type of pictures you'd find of friends. Since when did those two start hanging out? Then again, Nightwing made it a point that he was only there for the work. He never stayed around long enough to join in on the fun and banter between the others.
"You seem to be getting rather friendly with Supergirl," Dick replied.

That had been a spur threat. If even a real threat, that was less than easy to pin point, but certainly not out of reach. As Roy's gaze certainly shadowed in the direction of Kory's bedroom. The so called hidden suits. A smirk came a little at his lips at Dick's words and when he retreated. Roy certainly was a little more relaxed regarding the well being of his guitar. Smart move. Smart move. Simply Roy amusingly thought, before lightly laughing at Dick's words. Suppose exposing Dick's past clothing, could be more harsh. To whom more, was the more important question, but well. He wouldn't have to worry about that… Least for now.
"Can't say your wrong. Exposing those legs, most certainly was a crime against nature… Well for the most of us. I'm sure Kory enjoyed lapping at those ankles."
Roy playfully teased in response to Dick. Not that was being overly serious, but then again he wasn't usually overly serious as Dick could be. Not that he couldn't, but well. When it came to Dick's body parts, was certainly not something that swelled on his brain, but the short short phase was certainly lived enough to recall. Then again Kory in the short shorts, could certainly offer the alternative. As least Roy could admit Kory fancied Dick in his Robin gear. Then again Roy was almost sure she'd fancy him in anything or nothing. Uh, to be young and in love. Certainly could be nice. Perhaps Roy was at fault, though messing with Dick wasn't new and someone had to fill the role of best buddy. In seriousness it was less of a role, more really came natural. Otherwise Roy probably wouldn't be in this apartment, even though that still could be debatable.
"Now... I'm not saying I'm Mr Fantastic, I'm a little less limb than that… Though not a bad suit. I'll give you that… Although if you ask me the glove system seems like an april fools waiting to happen."
Perhaps 'stretched' was a slight overstatement, give or take it really didn't matter with the overall picture. Roy smirked in response, despite of course putting on the suit hadn't exactly been his choice and mostly of course did it too well. To do as most hot blooded men would do in such a situation with someone like her. Loosely Roy teased back in light reference that he wasn't exactly Mr stretchy man, not even cocky enough to enlist himself as quote on quote 'fantastic; but he was certainly not limb. With a slight added smug look as Dick draped his arm across hims shoulders. Roy was pretty confident he was quite firm, set a low laugh, before least having the balls to admit the Nightwing suit was certainly not a bad suit. He wasn't about to say he had greatly gotten himself comfortable in it and thinking of premeditatedly swapping. Yeah, no. His Arsenal suit was certainly more form fitting and well lets face it, far more deadly. Literally with the many weapons he had packing. Though did make light of Nightwing's 'gloves', where it seemed he kept his treasures. Roy was pretty sure he needn't give Dick a heads up, but well they weren't exactly back in the tower. Because most certainly one of them would have pulled a prank, out of fun not to completely render him of course.
"Really? You could have fooled me… Here, I thought you just liked chanting 'yes' in your sleep… Exactly. Nor does he often keep things to himself, before long you know its just a matter of time. My ass ends up the next best thing on youtube or some shit like that."
If Roy could have almost heard a trace of complaint in Dick's voice, though Roy's sarcastic response. Because lets face it, the walls were only so thick in this place. There was certainly less complaints in the so called 'chanting'. Roy suggested in the raising of a brow. Certainly could wish to not know them so intimately. Well least Dick. Yeah, there was certainly knowing to much between friends. Roy grinned though it was mostly cut short with Dick hurling Roy's head in a lock. A decent lock at that, Although least it seemed he got out of Dick sending anything out to Gar, mostly he was just selling anything to Dick, so to save his own ass, but there seriously no telling what was gonna happen if it got passed on to Gar and onwards. Before long in this day and age, with his luck it probably end up seen by the world. That just wouldn't be the wised move. Anymore wiser than Dick's attempts to head lock him. Certainly was a hell of a head lock. He was hardly a newbie in the ways of fighting, but neither was the former speedy. He was still quick, but perhaps gotten a little more on point in his years. Getting out of a head lock. Basic as it could seem. Aimed for the eyes. That pretty face of Dick's, with less chances of leaving a deadly mark. Dick moved to avoid with still his grip. The tension was of course felt around Roy's neck, but with his legs free. Certainly was a good move pushing on Dick's knees. In some attempt to push him backwards or at least to get him off. Which certainly paid off. Of leave it to the former boy wonder to make something basic, in sombre acrobatic art display. With little than a heads up before using Roy as his so called, balancing beam. Landing square on the bed, precisely on his pretty little feet. With little hesitation, wait. Roy had dove. In attempts to tackle. Tackle in the ways they normally would do, usually there needn't be much of a reason for the boys to wrestle. Only it seemed short of Dick's end. As Roy was met more with the space left behind and his face almost meeting the bed itself, with the impact from Dick pushing off his shoulders. Turned to sweep at Dick's ankle, but seemed he slithered his way out of being tripped over along the way. No worries. Dick maybe quick, stealth Roy could give him that, but no doubt Roy was quicker. Landing on the bed on his knees, facing Dick.
"If the crown fits… I suppose I stepped a little over the line, I'll admit… Its not like she's not hot.. She sure does like streaking the halls! I can understand your bitterness, but I say you might be a little jealous… You know I wouldn't, but still it bugs you."
Hmmm, perhaps even a drama queen could be more fun. Now that Roy questioned with a look to Dick, with a smirk, though certainly wasn't a long stretch. His eyes wavering up to Dick's head. The almost visual crown, ok he was mostly teasing him, because frankly there probably wasn't a enough time for Roy to sit and list all the things he did think about him. Placing a light hand over his heart, in Roy's playful way of admitting he was a little at fault. He had crossed a little boundaries, but then he could almost imagine he was set up for it. He was known to be a little nosy. Heck and not exactly weak in his flirtatious ways. And well, Kory was indeed hot. Red hot. More evident as Roy pulled out Dick's phone. Even he could be swift and sneaky. Wavering it lightly out a little, with it showing the more than tasteful photos. Roy smirked hardly felt he needed to drop the revelation, the flash of nudity wasn't exactly knew. Evident in the tower and evident at times now when Dick was or wasn't here. Something Roy was sure Dick liked, but was still bothered by. Least from the other potential eyes… Roy got it and almost sure Dick more than realised. Could tease the potential jealous dangling carrot, but there certainly had to be an ounce. Any rational man could have. Despite as forward as Roy could and liked to be, there was a line. But still. He had an idea how Dick felt. Thought. Dragging his knees off the bed. Feet landing on the floor. Roy's eyes did flash back to his phone as Dick had a little search party and mentioned Supergirl. There was certainly a slight. Tiniest hesitation, but Roy then simply smirked. Laughed it off innocently.
"Well, you know that kind of happens when you're teammates. You become friends or at the very least… As you put it, 'friendly'. In that, I've come to find Supergirl to be quite cool. She certainly got an impressive right hook, I think its wise to friendly… You're not jealous are you? You know your still my number one, buddy."
As pointedly. Truthful Roy responded and lets face it. He was being a little bit of a smart ass right now. He was like what. Twenty-one, one could argue he still had a little growing up to do. Not that he couldn't lead a team, much to Dick quirky little ways without knowing it, to bark orders, but his feathers were easy enough to ruffle. As Roy pointed out that teammates often become friends or at least have some bonding involved. Thats usually what happened, thus they'd work as a 'team'. He had certainly spun that lie to Dick, that it would be just work no friends, to get him on the team and sure, it was more work. Different no doubt that from the titans, but he wasn't that naive to think there would be no connecting, no nothing of the sort. He could honestly say it with little regrets and state Supergirl was cool. She certainly was, more. Well, he needn't have to play at more right now. She was young and Dick didn't need to know any better right now. Roy amusingly smiled and joked at Supergirl's knowing feats of strength, it was indeed more wise when it came to desiring to keep his limbs in check. Motioning towards through the space between, before playfully motioning an arm across Dick's shoulders. Asking teasingly if he was jealous, jealous he was making friends, of course he would hardly feel replaced, but perhaps it wasn't a bad thing if Dick felt a little jealous he was, seamlessly missing out in whole team building. Attempted a kiss at Dick's cheek, mostly to annoy Dick. Because clearly he had other people he'd rather be kissing. Dangling Dick's phone aimlessly out of reach, as he motioned some form of attack to his buddy. Surely he hadn't wimped out on him. Perhaps making a move to twist at his arm, make it a decent hold. Though most likely would end up being tossed to the ground, to only attempt to take the wrestling to ground. Like the old days, only they were bigger and a little more craftier.

"Mess with any of my tech and you'll find someone will have messed with yours as well," Dick replied.
A minor threat between friends. But it was the truth in ways. Dick didn't take kindly to someone messing with his equipment. Especially when it come mean the difference in a fight.
"There are a lot of benefits to saying yes with her," Dick replied with a smug look on his face.
No one could really deny that for him. Anyone who knew the two close enough would say that. And Dick couldn't say he didn't enjoy it at all.
One thing could be said about the fun between Kory and him, it could really wear them out. On days off from the police work...usually on the weekend, it was not uncommon to find Dick waking up late in the morning. He was usually found there in the mornings, and after late night patrols.
And his trick had worked to get away from Roy. Though only to find Roy reacting quick enough to land on his knees on the bed. Oh, well. At least he had gotten away.
"I rather her have a roommate that is a friend rather than a stranger," Dick commented. A possible burn to that comment if it was seen.
It wasn't until Dick saw his phone in Roy's hand that he realized it was missing. That was a downfall to having other vigilantes as friends. They could pull tricks on you almost or as good as yourself at times. And Roy was at that level. Dick knew that.
"Not quite. Besides you'd have to stay on my good side if you want a place to live," Dick replied. Not really just a threat. Dick was only playing around.
Though seeing as Roy's roommate was Dick's girlfriend that could be a possibility. With Kory, it was most unlikely that she would toss Roy out just like that. Unless there was any real call for it.
"Sheesh, save it for someone that wants it," Dick said as he tried to push Roy away from him.
When he saw his phone out of reach and he tried to keep Roy at arms length, he decided it was time for some more fun. And to try and get his phone back.
Dick decided to try and tip Roy up. And as soon as he got the chance, he moved to have his one leg behind Roy's ankle and at the same time pushed him backwards. This was in the hopes of getting him unbalanced and give Dick the chance to grab for his phone back.
