runespoorTitle: here we are together in the middle of the night
Pairing: Cass/Steph
Rating: G
Summary: Cass can't find the words to tell Steph what she feels about her.
Notes: quoting Joker Last Laugh, Batgirl v.1 #27, Batgirl v.1 #28 (huh, I thought these last two were further apart). Title from “Show Me” (My Fair Lady).
You make me laugh comes out as maybe you stink.
Rooftop tag is a great game and I really like playing with you comes out as you always lose.
If you just want to talk about those other things in your life I'm here, we could hang out without sparring comes out as okay. (with you not coming by anymore unsaid tagged at the end, she realizes.)
You're my best friend and I'm lonely and I miss you somehow only comes out after Steph is dead.
Cass is a a good listener, but she's never done being clumsy with words.
The sounds are easier to manage now than a few years ago, and she can do simple conversations if you don't push her, but it's difficult to find the right word when she wants to speak to Steph. Her words... her vocabulary suits crime-fighting. She never confuses knife and sword, explosives and biological weapons, human trafficking and car traffic.
Steph is good and fast with words, it would make Cass dizzy if she didn't see everything Steph was saying in the lines of her body, the curve of her smile, the relaxation of her shoulder.
Sometimes Steph's words run away from her, and her mouth works like she's lost what she was thinking. It's still in her body; Cass wishes she could show her. But Steph shrugs and elbows her and it doesn't matter.
Batgirl and Black Bat on top of the world, we are so precious, Steph's body says. Cass isn't sure what precious means, but it must be alright if they spend most of their patrol nights together.
Be by my side you're beautiful we are partners is too complicated for words, but it's easy to show, so she kisses Steph.
“I love you too,” Steph says afterwards, breathless.
