fictionalknight's birthday! She requested 'Wee!Dick and Ace'. Happy Birthday! I hope you have a great day! :) Unbetaed, so point and I shall correct.
Wayne Manor was so big. And empty. Oh, not of objects. No, there were objects everywhere, worth more money than Dick could ever imagine. But there were no people. Just rows and rows of corridors and empty rooms and portraits of people staring at you.
Sure, there was Alfred, but the guy walked like a ghost. Somehow, the only place he seemed real was in the kitchen. And Bruce was... well. There some of the time. But most of the time not. No one could be that busy all the time.
So, to say Dick was stunned when he idly walked into one of the many lounges and found a dog inside would be an understatement.
*****
They had become inseparable. At first, Dick had been a little wary - the dog was huge, after all. Almost the size of a baby elephant. But, he thought with a giggle, you had to have a big dog. A smaller one would get lost in a place like this.
The dog was a steel grey and had regarded Dick solemnly for several moments at first, before lowering his head and roughly licking his face. He had laughed, for what felt like the first time since... since everything.
Ace, he discovered the dog was called. They went on adventures together, searching for lost treasure and exploring strange new worlds. Ace would sleep on his bed, much to Alfred's dismay, but Dick just laughed.
He had found a friend. And it didn't matter one bit that he wasn't human.
