Thank you so much everyone for taking the time to read my books and spread the word. Words can't describe how amazing it is to see the comments and likes that I receive from you all, I really really appreciate all that you do to make this worth while.
What do you guys think of the magazine cover? I'm thinking about doing a bit of a series to hype up the books more, let me know what you think!
Feel however you want to feel about how Titans handled Dick and Kory’s relationship…
but don’t @ me about how dirty they were done as if I’m going to agree. After all of the hell the comics put me through and continue to put me through with this pair, ending the series with them laughing and smiling and skipping hand in hand was never going to piss me off. I’m just sad that I don’t get to spend several more years with these crazies.
Summary: Dick takes a shot at doing Mar’i’s hair for the first time
It was just like any other day in the Grayson household, but today the family needed to go run some errands. Dick had just got done getting ready when he decided to check on Mar’i and Kory, who should be close to being done as well. He found them in the bathroom, both appearing to be dressed and ready.
“Okay girls, are we ready to go?” Dick leaned against the doorway and watched as Kory gently combed through Mar’i’s coarse hair while they both stood in front of the mirror.
“Almost, I just want to give Mar’i a different hairstyle today. Maybe four big braids and some barrettes at the end, what do you think?” Kory looked down at Mar’i who gave her a nod of approval.
As Dick continued admiring his favorite girls, he came to the sudden realization that he has never taken a turn with doing Mar’i’s hair. This has never been an issue, but as her father he felt like something as small as doing her hair was a way to bond with his little girl.
“Braids sound simple enough. Babe, I want to try doing her hair this time if you don’t mind.” The girls turned and looked at Dick in unison as he stepped into the bathroom.
“Daddy, do you even know how to braid?” Mar’i challenged her father, causing Kory to burst into laughter.
“Come on, it can’t be that hard. Just tell me what to do and I got the rest.” Dick stepped in Kory’s place behind Mar’i as she stood on the side of them, handing him the wide tooth comb.
“So, you see how I parted her hair into four sections. All you need to do is braid each section down and put a barrette on the ends.” Dick listened to Kory as he started on one section. As per Kory’s instructions, Dick softly combed through their baby’s hair and set the comb down to start the braid.
To their surprise, Dick was doing fairly well with the task, although he moved his fingers at a turtle’s pace, insisting that it’s the only way he could get the braids to be perfect. After a few minutes of encouraging words from his daughter and light teasing from his wife, he had finally finished. Mar’i observed her hair in the mirror, happy with the results.
“I love it! Thank you, Daddy.” She turned away from the mirror towards her father, giving him a big hug around his waist.
“You look beautiful as ever. Thank you for trusting me my little princess.” Dick lifted his daughter off the ground, giving her a kiss on the cheek as he held her on his hip. They stepped out of the bathroom and Kory followed behind, enamored by her husband’s fatherly character.
“Well, we better get going now before our favorite ice cream shop closes!” Kory announced, causing Mar’i and Dick to do a little dance as he carried her towards the door.
“Yay! Ice cream! Ice cream! We’re gonna get some ice cream!” The two chanted as they waited for Kory to grab her things and meet them at the door.
In no time, the family of three were on the road, looking forward to spending another amazing day together.
