ShizukaKuze!Reader x Neglectful!Batfam

It doesn't matter.

Bruce Wayne.

The name of the famous playboy Himbo billionaire. Said to be an idiot, but an idiot with a good heart. He was a father.

A good father to all of his children. Well almost all anyway

He never had time for 'Reader', or her parent teacher conferences, or her needs. Maybe it was because her mother was just one random escort with a night gone south, but he didn't have time for her. Not when she first came, or now. He's never had time, not for her.

Always too busy with his other kids. Her siblings, if you could call them that.

And none of them really had time, or made time for her. Maybe except Duke and Alfred, but even though Duke made efforts he was always busy with other things and school.

And Alfred had the manor to take care of, he couldn't watch over her all the time.

It didn't really matter though. She doesn't care much for any of them. Not even Alfred or Duke. Not that much. All she needed is Chappy. He's been with her even before she came here. As long as she has Chappy, everything will be alright.

She let out small giggles as she cuddled close to her dear companion. On her bed Shizuka sat up with Chappy sitting right next to her. Licking and nuzzling into her cheek, as she had a smile only he could pull out of her

She had a bad day at school today, and now her cheek was slightly bruised. She really hates fifth grade, even here she couldn't escape bullies it seemed. It didn't matter though, she had Chappy after all

A knock came at her door and she already knew who it was

"Master 'Reader?' Dinner is ready if you'd like to come down"

She momentarily stopped her playing with Chappy and looked towards the door. Her smile completely dropped, leaving a blank stare. It wasn't one of resentment or anger it was just blank indifference.

"It's alright, I'm not hungry"

She could hear a sigh coming from outside the door

"Are you sure Young master? You hadn't eaten breakfast this morning and everyone-"

"I'm not hungry, it's fine goodnight"

She cut him off, bidding him goodnight. She raised her voice slightly, but kept her tone the same as always. Monotone, apathetic, detached. The only times it would change were with Chappy. And Chappy alone

She felt her expression relax when she heard him sigh for a final time before footsteps began retreating away. And her smile returned when Chappy licked her face. Laughing softly as she pet his soft fur and pulled his head in for a hug.

"Let's go to bed Chappy"

She said gently, laying down with her head crashing into her soft pillow and her small arms still wrapped around Chappy's head. She had her face buried in his fur, realizing he smelt a bit and knowing she'd have to ask Alfred to give him a bath tomorrow.

"Goodnight Chappy."

_______

Alfred, although feeling disappointed in his failed attempt to have 'Reader join, walked back to the dining room where everyone was eating. All engrossed in lively conversation, none of whom realized that 'Reader' was absent. With the exception of one.

When Duke noticed Alfred's presence he perked up and turned to him asking with an excited and hopeful voice.

"Will 'Reader' be joining us tonight?"

Alfred gave a sad look before shaking his head with a sigh

"She said she was not hungry, her lights were off so she must've been about to head to bed"

Duke was visibly downcast at that information but nodded in understanding, with a small sad smile

"Ah I see. Well I hope she rests well then"

Alfred hummed in agreement

No one else had seemed to hear their conversation, all too absorbed in a story Steph was telling to not notice them talking, but also that someone was missing. Alfred just hoped that someday, she, just like the others would have a seat at this table and act like family with them. She was family after all, he only wished that she could see it that way as well.

Hiya!! Second ever fanfic, first ever fic on Tumblr!! I hope this was enjoyable, though it was a pretty short. I can't say when the next chapter is, but we'll see. Pray for me that it doesn't take too long, and that I don't have the curse come after me❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹🤞🤞

I have been reading a few Neglected!Reader fics and wondered how it would be if my baby Shizuka was Reader.

Sorry if I mischaracterize any characters including you (which I most likely will do really sorry bout that) or if the dialogue feels flat. Anyways this will probably be really self indulgent so I hope you'll like it!!

Also sorry about any grammar mistakes, I am dyslexic and do not want to go back and fix my mistakes at the moment :')))

Anyways see ya!!✌️✌️✌️
