It wasn't really a lie. Everything he said was true. It just wasn't the main reason he did it. If he hadn't known about her affair with Batman and how badly it hurt Night Boy, there was a good chance he would've asked her out anyway if he ever got the chance.
Barbara's mouth fell open a little at his honesty, then she quickly shut it when she noticed he was still watching her. "It doesn't bother you that I'm like this?" she asked, motioning to herself. It was obvious she meant the wheelchair. Aside from that, she looked nice in the sundress she was wearing, so that was all he really noticed.
He shook his head. "No. I'll admit this is the first time I've ever been on a date with a paralyzed woman, but that doesn't matter to me. I'm having a good time with you, and I hope that keeps going."
Barbara took a quick sip of her drink to give herself a moment, clearly not expecting such a straight answer. "Well, I'm sure it will. Come on, let's wrap this up. We've still got a few more rooms to look at."
Naruto went along with her, and for the next two hours they just enjoyed being together. When the night came to an end, he offered to walk her home since she lived nearby. Most of the walk was quiet, broken only by the occasional comment or small joke, until they reached her front door.
"I had a really great time. Thank you," she said, turning her chair so she could look up at him.
He smiled back. "I did too. Think we could do this again sometime soon?" he asked.
"Yeah, I think we can," she said, holding out her hand. Naruto took it, only to be gently pulled closer. She pressed a quick kiss to his cheek, just for a moment, then pulled back. Without another word, she rolled up the small ramp to her door, waved at him, and went inside.
He stood there staring at the door for a short while before finally heading off himself.
Over the next two months, they went on more dates, usually every couple of days. Movies, picnics, other museums, dinners, everything you could think of. It wasn't until the start of their third month together that she suggested they stay over at his place for the night instead of going out.
He didn't have any issue with it and set up a movie on the large TV he owned, a gift he'd gotten from Night Boy. Barbara showed up at eight in the evening wearing sweatpants and a thin grey sweatshirt that matched. He let her inside, and once they made it to the living room, he bent down and carefully lifted her out of the chair, carrying her over and setting her on the couch.
"Thanks," she said quietly, still a little embarrassed that he had to do that for her.
"No problem," he replied as he sat down beside her. "Ready to watch the movie?"
Neither of them said much after that, both trying to sit through the honestly pretty bad movie. About halfway through, right as a building on screen was blowing up, the blond felt her hand slide over and rest on his thigh.
He turned his head to look at her and saw the knowing look in her eyes, then gently nudged her hand a little higher.
"Barbara," he muttered. Normally, by this point, he would've taken the hint and leaned in to kiss her, already understanding where things were heading, but this felt different.
"It's been three months," she whispered after leaning closer to him. "I think we both know why I wanted to stay the night." She paused for a moment before continuing. "It'll be different since, you know, I can't really feel anything down there, but that's not the point. I want to do this." She said firmly, with no doubt in her voice.
Naruto looked at her for a moment, then shrugged to himself. He was open to trying new things. Their faces moved closer until they were locked in a heated make out, lips pressed together with clear intent. They had kissed plenty of times before, but this time was different. This time, he knew they were going all the way.
Barbara lifted her arms so he could pull the sweatshirt over her head, revealing a thin tank top underneath. She wasn't wearing a bra, made obvious by the shape of her nipples pressing against the fabric. That didn't last long either, and soon it was gone, leaving her chest bare and exposed.
Not wanting to be the only one undressed, the former Batgirl reached up and pulled his shirt over his head, showing off his well built body.
"Let's go," she said simply.
The blond scooped her up in his arms and carried her to the bedroom, gently setting her down on the bed. Barbara used her arms to shift herself toward the middle and gestured for him to come closer.
"I'm gonna need some help getting these off," she said, pointing at her sweatpants. He took off his own pants first before climbing onto the bed with her. He slid her pants down, revealing light pink lace panties underneath. He paused and looked up at her with a raised eyebrow, making her flush in embarrassment.
"Don't just stare," she said quickly.
He chuckled and removed them as well and finally saw the equally pink lips that she'd been covering.
He wasn't sure if her body would respond to stimulation and lubricate but just in case he gave it an experimental lick. She had laid back to stare at the ceiling, probably not wanting it to be awkward that she couldn't feel anything.
Naruto reached up to pinch her nipples with one hand, and smiled at the moans she emitted. For the next few minutes while he ate her out he made sure to tease her chest as much as he could while he lubed her up. Her body did respond as it turned out as he could taste the sweet nectar she produced, even if she didn't feel it.
