> > Catwoman is in denial and has 100% said something like, "He couldn't have tied me down anyways!"

> > > Talia has tried to kill you multiple times, though

> it also took a hot minute for Damian to warm up to you or even the idea of his father being with someone who was not his mother

> > because of that, he would say some insensitive things, but once he got to know you he liked you

> > > "My mother might be one of the most feared assassins, but you... you are fun and... nice."

> > > > you cried when he said that because all the effort you made to break through to him and end the cycle of abuse was finally paying off

> you are Jason's favorite, that boy has always loved you so much even after he came back

> > and it's a bit like an inside joke; you'll get him dinosaur-themed cards every year for father's day, his birthday, anniversaries, etc.

> he literally thinks you are the most gorgeous person on this planet, he only has eyes for you

> > could not care less about what beauty standards you align with, this man is ridiculously attracted to your upstanding moral code

> > > your unyielding desire to do the right thing and your rigid sense of justice are unironically turn-ons for this loser

> > it's so refreshing to just be with you and feel like a human being

> > you read all the books because he did not have the time and you recite the relevant or good parts when he needs them

> he drags you to the stuffy fancy parties and dinners

> > some of his business associates' wives can be really boring, but others are loads of fun (like, the women who have been in that world so long they don't have the energy to care anymore)

> you don't put up with any of his bullshit--one cocked eyebrow and he will be changing his entire approach to a certain topic

> > he is whipped like that

> when he "dies" or fakes his death, he takes you with him because he knows you would actually kill him if he didn't

> your happiness is contagious

> > you kick him out of bed and demand he take a shower before he gets near you

> without a doubt, he is the type to give you the silent treatment during a fight

> > he might respond if you ask him a direct question, but he will ignore your ass otherwise

> he is the type to cuddle up to you in his sleep

> > not to say that he won't cuddle you when you're both awake, he would just not initiate it

> a bit bipolar when it comes to affection in general, some days he is so sweet, others it's just a kiss on the head good morning and goodnight

> > he never forgets about those, he makes a conscious effort to always remember those

> it took him a very long time to get around to saying "I love you," and taking your relationship public

> > taking the relationship public sometimes puts you in some... uncomfortable positions like people taking pictures of the two of you when you're out

> > > he got embarrassed

> he is very traditional in his approach to romance

> > like candle-lit restaurants, flowers, and deep kisses

> I feel like we don't need to talk about how many issues he has

> > like, you know who we're talking about here, it's fucking obvious that he is mentally ill

> > > we love him anyway, he's trying his best

> > > > but you have subtly slipped your therapists card on his desk

> > > > > multiple times
