featuring... dick grayson, jason todd, tim drake, damian wayne (aged up duh), duke thomas. stephanie brown
synopsis: the dates i think the robins would take you on. self explanatory
song: take me out - franz ferdinand
dick grayson who... takes you out to some fancy restaurant for your first date.
dick grayson who... seeing as it is the first date, doesnt try to do the lady and the tramp kiss, but thinks about it
dick grayson who... insists on paying since he’s the one who asked you out
dick grayson who... walks you home after because he wants to savour the moment, and driving goes too fast
dick grayson who... once you get to know each other better, takes you places that are much more niche.
diners on the brink of closing down, or food stalls on the street with meals you’ve never heard of, none of them are off the table with him
dick grayson who... kisses you under lamposts when it gets dark and twirls you around like youre in a disney movie
dick grayson who... wants to give you these things that he holds dear to him and make them part of you … and whats a more universal way to communicate that than food?
jason todd who... regrets asking you out without having anything planned, and has been panicking for the past week
jason todd who... ends up giving you a ride around gotham on his bike (yes, of course he gets you your own helmet) in the evening when everything looks all pretty and glowy
jason todd who... shows you all his favourite little hidden treasures that the majority dont know about -- bookshops tucked away in nooks and crannies, antique stores full of little trinkets, all the stuff that juxtaposes his appearance
jason todd who... is as sweet to you as these places seem, and makes sure you don’t get back too late
jason todd who... walks you to your door to know youre safe, and texts you when he gets home that he is too, as if you need to worry
tim drake who... invites you to his house to watch a movie. you know he’s rich, but jesus, this mansion is huge. a home theatre? youre kidding.
tim drake who... prepares lots of snacks, too, as you find out, bowls and bowls of them laid out in case youre picky.
tim drake who... lets you pick the movie because its the nice thing to do, and makes little quips to the characters when a scene isnt particularly tense
of course, once it’s done, theres still plenty of time…
tim drake who... now puts on one of his favourites and watches you intently throughout, making note of each change in your facial expressions
tim drake who... stalks your letterboxd when you leave (if you have one) to see if your film opinions are valid. and seemingly, you align with him pretty darn well
damian wayne who... quietly offers you a walk in the park with him. during the daytime, of course. no need for you both to get murdered.
damian wayne who... isnt as nonchalant as he seems at a glance. its nice
damian wayne who... takes turns with you feeding the ducks in the pond seeds, NOT bread, because he doesnt want to kill them.
damian wayne who... lets you talk his ear off for all he cares -- its like having a podcast playing, except it talks about silly things that he finds himself almost embarrassed to slightly care about
damian wayne who... buys you an icecream from an actual parlour down the street, not some low-tier van
damian wayne who... refuses to ask his father to drop you home when he can do it himself, thank you very much, and does it with grace
damian wayne who... calls you later and tacitly asks if you'd like to do it again sometime
duke thomas who... keeps it nice and simple by taking you to a cafe. somewhere cozy and warm, family-run, not some mega-corporation
duke thomas who... gives you a sip of his drink after seeing you eye it up without question
duke thomas who... engages so deeply in the conversation you start to believe he could be a customer service robot, because you’ve never met another human as curious about your life
duke thomas who... squeezes your hand across the table every time you make him laugh, which is actually quite often
duke thomas who... of course, doesnt make you do all the talking.
duke thomas who... shares some of his other special coffee shops and tells you which ones to avoid, gives you little tidbits of gossip that really, he shouldnt be sharing, makes you giggle with his silly little jokes
duke thomas who... asks if youd be down to get dessert, because theres a cake shop thats just opened, and hes been dying to try it out
stephanie brown who... takes you to a mini golf place without realising it will be her downfall
stephanie brown who... gets the ball into the first hole in 13. its not a great start, but it is great foreshadowing. at least youre polite enough not to laugh in her face
if you’re good at it? yeah, shes a little jealous. she stares at you carefully with each of your movements like shes studying one of the greats. you dont spend twenty minutes on one hole, so why does she have to be cursed to?? she’ll beg you to teach her your ways after, though, and if you say yes, she’s bound to pick it up eventually
if you’re bad at it? at least you suffer together. the whole time youre more focused on laughing at yourselves (and each other) to care about getting the best scores. its only when the people behind you start getting frustrated that you hurry off and take your business elsewhere
stephanie brown who... takes you to the restaurant on the course and asks if you wanna share a basket of fries. this time she doesnt even eat more than her half!!!! youre lucky, really
stephanie brown who... holds your hand the entire way home, asking very sincerely if you mind that she's terrible at golf
