The Manor seemed to scream at you, the winds picked up, the windows seemed to glint in a way that made the blood from your head go rushing down to your chest, you can basically hear it moving.
You didn’t understand why it did that. You were half sober on weed, enough to act normal but still feel it.
Were you nervous? was that it?
You scoffed at yourself, maybe it was nerves from the fact you had never in 17 years brought anyone into the manor.
Your hand rested on the door knob and looked back at your friends.
‘What? can you just open the do—’ Jacky asked, already looking around with that same curiosity and awe but a bit wary look she gets when something is new.
‘I smell scones and cake, fuck i’m hungry.’ Austen chimed in, interrupting Jacky who glared at him.
‘You are so fat, austen, always needing to eat som—’ You started to speak, shoving down any thoughts of being scared as you grinned, the tooth gem you put on a day ago glinted.
‘God! open the fucking door!’ Daniel spoke, shaking, not from weed, but curiosity and partially weed and whatever pills he took that day, his eyes were locked on the door as he stepped forward with the others.
‘Fuck, fine whatever! don’t talk to anyone and don’t touch anything and dont ask me anything because i dont remember shit!’ You warned and opened the door as you walked in.
Inside, the floors were perfectly cleaned, and polished till the chandeliers could be basically seen from the floor, and up ahead the grand staircase with railings for support had went both ways, curving to meet the upstairs halls that was carpeted, just by the sides of the stairs went hallways.
In the middle of the staircases had a grandfather clock — it chimed when you all entered, making you slightly flinch — that was wooden and clean.
You froze in your tracks when you saw them before you blinked and moved slightly, shifting your weight.
‘Hey..uh..i brought some friends over.’ You manage to speak, in that careful but relaxed way you always did — thank fuck you were high. — just as your friends entered and the door closed like it was announcing itself, they saw them.
‘Friends?’ Dick asked, a little shocked and surprised that he couldn’t contain, meeting Jasons eyes for a fleeting moment.
Jason scoffed and grinned. ‘Was starting to think you were just a lone loser, ___’ You rolled your eyes.
‘Ah, i wasn’t aware we were expecting company.’ Alfred spoke, suddenly coming out from a nearby door, looking as impeccable and neural as ever when anything with you happened.
‘You failed to mention you were bringing people.’ Damian said beside dick, eyes narrowed in that same way that he does when someone new came over, assessing and judging, his tone condescending like always.
Cassandra merely looked at you, then the friends and then back at you, her gaze all knowing but quiet.
Cassandra was never one you bothered with when she came, too drunk and high to even look at her when you walked by, did she know you smoke, or drank, or did pills? maybe, did you care? not in the slightest way, Duke was near her, he seemed nice but the day he came, you were way too high to even notice him when you bumped into a door that he opened, you rolled your eyes as he tried to apologize and just walked off.
Tim was yawning as he walked next to damian, shifting closer to dick as he drank his coffee and just waved once, so did duke, giving a simple.
Stephanie came out from behind her, smiling as she walked over, stopping at a good distance.
‘Hey! i’m stephanie!’ She said in that same cheerful voice, when just when your friends were about to reply, a brooding and commanding tone spoke.
‘____, i see you brought people.’ Bruce spoke, looking a bit tired as Barbara walked behind bruce, holding an iPad that looked too fancy to be the normal thing.
‘Hey, i’m barbara.’ She said, but barely glanced up and realised that it was you who had brought people and immediately her head snapped up, pushing her glasses up.
‘…’ You paused for a moment before your friends shifted near you.
They spoke and you sighed.
‘Well? are you going to introduce us?’ Damian asked, for once looking slightly curious about reasons unknown to you.
‘Fuck.’ You mumbled to yourself and rubbed your face before speaking once more.
‘Yea, yea, that’s richard..or dick, whatever works, that’s jason—‘
‘We know that, dipshit, but who are they?’ Austen said.
‘Fuck? i’m trying to introduce them!’
‘We know that! but like, who are they to you! family friends? siblings?’ Jacky chimed in.
You froze for a whole few seconds before looking at the group ahead.
‘Right..that’s Damian, my half-brother. that’s Richard..um..i actually have no clue if he’s a foster kid or not..anyways, that’s Jason, no clue if he’s actual related to me or not, that’s stephanie, Cassandra, Duke, foster kid..i think, and that’s Tim, uh..no idea either, and that’s bruce my-’ You paused a lot, realising you barely knew why there was so many unrelated people that managed to be in the manor.
You rubbed your eyes as you met bruce’s gaze, he was expecting something, but you didn’t say it.
Didn’t say he was your father, couldnt. Wouldn’t.
‘Your dad?’ Daniel chimed in, making the entire group - besides you - look up at Bruce, all eyes differently from their view as you nodded.
‘Yea, whatever fuckheads, anyways, let’s check out my room.’
You said, already moving towards the west staircase as everyone else watched whilst your friends followed suit, looking around.
‘Hey, ___?’ Jacky said, moving faster to match your pace.
‘What?’ you said, looking at her for a moment.
‘Do you have a pool?’ She asked and you paused, scratching the back of your neck you looked at her.
‘We do.’ Dick spoke, out of his weird stunned expression.
‘That’s so sick, can we swim?’ Daniel asked, putting an arm around your shoulders as you scoffed and pushed him away playfully.
‘No, i’m like..pretty sure it’s covered anyways.’
‘It’s an indoor pool!’ Dick said again, falling into step and stopped when you did.
‘Are we having dinner here?’ Jacky asked, on her phone to look up restaurants.
‘You should!’ Stephanie chimed in, moving next to dick as you rolled your eyes.
‘Come on, ___, it’ll be so good..!’ Austen spoke, glancing at you.
‘You think everything that involves food is good, you fat ass.’
‘Hey! at least i didn’t fall down the stairs at school!’
‘What?! what does that have to do with anything?!’ You said, moving past everyone as your friends and you giggled and laughed, going up the stairs, leaving behind a few shocked but contemplating something.
‘Ugh, deadass, can we eat?’
‘Can we go to that seafood restaurant downtown?’
‘God, stop thinking about food you fat bastards!’
‘Do you even know anything about this place?’
Your words and footsteps echoed as you walked west to your room.
∘₊✧────────────────────────────────────────✧₊∘
Everyone else froze, Bruce's gaze remained silent but almost..confused and maybe hurt? but no one could tell because everyone was staring at the spot you had walked off towards.
Tim paused his drinking, Jason froze at where he was leaning, Dick and Stephanie were left before the stairs, Damian’s body had gone rigid at that answer and so did Barbara.
Cassandra was quiet, but not like that others, no she was trying to figure out why she couldn’t get a read on you. Why even though you seemed so..nervous? confused?, was it anxious? excited? for once in her life, she was more nervous then anyone.
Why couldn’t she read you?
Bruce cleared his throat making everyone look up at him as he walked off to the eastern side of the manor. ‘Cave. now.’
∘₊✧────────────────────────────────────────✧₊∘
Back in your room, you were on the floor kneeling besides a desk, a rolled up dollar bill one side at your nose, the other pointed at pills that were crushed in a line as you sniffed them before throwing your head back, the same grin on your face, tooth gem glinting once more as your friends already had a chance to snort some.
‘They are not family, i’m barely related to Damian nevertheless anyone else in this stupid soul-suckingly boring, absurd—‘
‘We get it, you fucking twat, you hate it here.’
‘It’s a nice place though.’
‘Yea, whatever, let’s go eat, i’m starving now.’ You said and stood up, Austen putting an arm around you as you and the others walked, laughing about something, you entered the kitchen, seeing no one, you went to make some dinner when someone cleared their throat.
‘____, Dinner will be served shortly, if you and your company could wait.’ Alfred spoke, having not seen him because he was over in the pantry.
‘Oh..right.’ You said and sighed.
‘We can wait, can we check out the pool?!’ Jacky said, already pulling everyone away as you groaned but lead her to the pool, it was large to say the least.
And before anyone knew it, you and your friends were in it, swimming and playing around, using the water-guns to shoot at each other.
"Jacky, you piece of shit! stop hit--" You got cut off by Jacky shooting at your mouth making you cough and start to fire back.
You were happy, it was nice but too quiet for your liking.
∘₊✧────────────────────────────────────────✧₊∘
In the cave, it was quiet, far too quiet as Bruce seemed to be way too into his work.
Damian was sharpening his sword, Jason and Dick sitting on chairs, Barbara with Bruce at the main console with Tim near the second console, Cassandra looking at her hands like they were at fault, duke was sitting somewhere else, nervously shaking his leg because he didn’t know what to do with the silence.
‘..Everyone here thinks it weird for ___ to bring people..right?’ Dick asked, cutting through the intense silence and everyone froze.
‘I didn’t even think that the kid had friends.’ Jason said.
‘They rarely spend any form of events with this family.’ Damian spoke, pausing his sword from the wetstone.
‘I could not read their intentions, or them.’ Cassandra spoke, the longest sentence in a few hours.
‘And what’s up with that introduction? they barely even knew why we were here besides Damian being their half brother!’ Stephanie asked, or more so stated.
‘Because i am clearly the only one worth remembering.’ Damian said and looked down immediately when something satisfying struck his chest at that, did it matter that they remembered him being their brother?
‘hey..why is their room in the west? i thought family stayed in the east wing?’ Duke suddenly spoke, making everyone go quiet again.
‘That..’ Bruce started to speak only to stop himself when he realized that he didn’t know, he had just told Alfred to move them to the west room because..
‘Thats..just where they preferred.’ Someone mumbled and no one disagreed because disagreeing meant an explanation as to why.
Why they knew nothing about their siblings/child.
Why they barely knew anything about them, About why they could barely even remember anyone that wasn’t related to them.
And something deep settled in.
God, it made them feel fucking disgusted.
It also made them realise that..they didn’t want you to leave, that..deep down, they wanted you to stay around, it was selfish, disgusting and absurd!
You were neglected! barely given any attention, love or affection to start wanting it now!
They knew that, knew everything about the situation but not you.
‘Dinner is soon. ____ Will be attending with their company..’ Alfred spoke, cutting through the quiet once more, standing near the door he came in from, everyone stood up.
Suddenly, everyone seemed to be hungry.
