Clarity

Rated T.

Also I don't own anything cause I'm poor and DC wouldn't let me buy the rights.

They had gotten into another one of their infamous screaming matches. The cause was something so stupid and petty that neither could remember as Dick slammed the door to their apartment leaving Barbara to collapse to the floor in tears as he stormed out.

They had both shouted things they didn't mean but the wounds from those words bleed freely as both wallowed in the aftermath wondering if they would make it through this one.

After several minutes on the floor crying Barbara collected herself to the point where the sobs that had previously racked her body were now gone and all that remained as she walked out where silent tears. She walked for several hours around Blüdhaven hope to catch Dick, either walking somewhere or on his motorcycle and apologize but the attempt was fruitless as she never even caught a glimpse.

Dejectedly she headed back to their apartment hoping he had returned. As she approached the door the distinct noise of someone rifling through drawers could be heard. Barbara's heart suddenly began to race at the thought of a burglar in the apartment, God knowing what they might take or worse find out. Readying a bat-a-rang Barbara was prepared for anything she might find, except the sight that was currently displayed in front of her. Dick stood in their apartment suitcases spread out as he packed his things.

The sound of the Bat-a-rang slipping from Barbara's fingers and hitting the floor cause Dick to whirl around.

Dick?" Barbara questioned as she watched causing him to flinch at the hurt in her voice.

"Babs" he replied tiredly his eyes avoiding hers

"Dick what are you doing?" She questioned him again.

Dick looked at her for a moment complete and total exhaustion on his face as a deep sigh rolled past his lips.

"Babs all we do is fight and I don't even know what it's even about anymore it just seems we start to fight so we can see how much we can hurt each other and I can't do it anymore I can't keep destroying the one person I love in this world so I'm..." He trailed of because saying it out loud was too painful and final, he didn't want this to end but he didn't know what else to do.

Barbara stared at him with hurt misty eyes as she saw what she had destroyed. "Dick please you don't need to leave" she tried but he just smiled sadly at her as he reached for his bags.

His had however never reached them as he found Barbara's hand had intercepted his and was now holding it to her chest. "Do you feel this" she asked him and he nodded as he felt her heart beat under his hand.

"My heart beats for you, you are the clarity in my life when everything else is a giant jigsaw puzzle I look at you and everything falls away because I have you and your love and the world is perfect. I can't lose that I don't know if I'd ever be able to breathe again" she tells him her voice thick with emotion as the mist that had cloud her eyes finally breaks from its dam and leaks down her cheeks.

Dick doesn't say anything for a long time as the tear continue to fall, her face turned away from his too hurt to even look at him.

Finally he sighs, a small smile appears on his lips as he lifts a hand to her face so she's forced to look at him as he to wipes away her tears.

"God I love you Babs" he mumbles before crushing his lips to hers in a kiss so filled with desperation and passion they swear the world stops for them. When the need for air becomes too much and they finally separate Dick whispers "I'm sorry" to which Barbara replies "so am I but if you ever think of leaving me again I'll break bats number one rule" Dick laughs aloud at her threat causing Babs to smile because they both knows she's not joking.

Here's the first one shot please review and if you have any Ideas let me know and I'll see if I can make them happen

Until next time
