Every time Richard Grayson came to visit his parents, siblings or "grandfather" (he came to call Alfred "gramps", just to annoy him), nostalgia pinched his heart.

Whenever he climbed those steps to the main entrance, opened the big doors to come in the foyer, walked down corridors, rooms etc etc...memories of his childhood and teen years in the manor surged him, and filled him with a kind of sadness that wasn't too terrible to endure.

A kind of sadness he always greeted as an old friend.

Nostalgia.

Heart tightening, and a stupid fond smile plastered on his face.

Every time.

You'd think after four years, it wouldn't happen anymore, right ? But no.

Dick Grayson was a sentimental, and even though he moved out of his home years ago, and found a nice apartment in Blüdhaven, built his own home...It always made him feel weird to come back to the Manor.

Even more since he married his teenage sweetheart, Barbara Gordon, and got his first child (the most wonderful little girl in the universe ! Position she shared with his little sister Cass' of course, who was so cute when she was still a kid ! Damian, aka "most protective uncle ever", agreed).

Because now, with his job as a police officer and his nightly activities in Blüdhaven...He rarely had time to come "home".

Well, that wasn't really true.

He still came over at least four times a week and, on most week-ends, his family would come to his apartment to have lunch. And he often caught up with one of his siblings, or parents, or Alfred but...it wasn't the same anymore.

He still didn't see you as often as he used to. As often as he wanted to.

It was actually a tough change for him, to not be able to get out of his room and find one of you somewhere in his house.

He actually thought about asking his dad to buy an entire building, and then you guys could all live on one floor and you'd be all together always and...he quickly realized it was unreasonable and ridiculous.

It was just so strange that he couldn't see any of you whenever he wanted. He was a "responsible" adult now (who bought legos for his daughter just so he could play with them too).

He grew up...and his siblings too. Hell, Damian was going to be seventeen !!

He had to accept that things were changing. Evolving.

It was awful.

...Though he found reassurance in the fact that some things actually never changed.

Like how much his parents were in love.

Dick had let himself in the manor and was looking for any members of his family, roaming the gigantic house.

He found Alfred asleep on his father's office chair, a duster in one hand (the poor butler wasn't getting any younger, and got tired easily nowadays).

Dick put a blanket over him and left the office silently, continuing his search.

He found you and Bruce in the main living room, asleep as well, on the couch, in each others' arms.
