Roy closed his eyes in the darkness of his room and wondered why, exactly, he did this to himself.
And why he let Dick, who was sleeping peacefully in his arms, do this to him.
It was just so stupid… and over something as small as hair color. Roy hated to be reminded that he was the last redhead in Dick's life to be chosen for a serious relationship, that he was the one on the side, as it were. He loved Dick with everything in him, and usually the hair color thing was a joke- but Dick had just admitted that he'd been attracted to Jason, his own brother! Because Jason had been dared into wearing red hair dye by Tim. How much was too much? And how much was Roy really expected to take? He knew Dick loved his hair, had always known it, and he knew Dick loved Kory's hair and Barbara's hair…. It was practically a fetish.
Correction. It was a fetish.
He sighed softly, trying to lie comfortably. Dick had said, again, that he loved Roy, that he wanted to be with him and would stay but Roy… simply couldn't believe that.
He'd been wrong too many times before to really, truly believe him again.
Even though he wanted to.
