yandere tim drake
I like to think Timothy Jackson Drake as a calculated person. Ruthless and fearless at that. Red Robin 2009 was my first proper encounter with him and his obsessive tendencies (not necessarily romantically but towards his objective) were so evident. This character trait was also noticeable when Jason was active as Robin & after ("Batman needs a robin!" mentioned at least 10 times as his dialogue in a single run, he IS that persistent). But its more fun when his strong traits cracks in front of you. So here's this, imagine YOU becoming his objective. I imagine him not as a confrontational yandere but a imaginative one where his desires eventually lead him to cross the boundary. He isn't forceful no, he is a man of respect (in a way) but his train of thoughts about you drives him absolutely insane.
One question leads to another, genuine ones first and quite personal ones latter. He needs answers. He needs to know.
But Tim is a smart man, he acknowledges the abnormality in his affection. Regardless he pushes the thought deep down his mind, because who's going to confront him about it? You? You don't even know he exists.
He doesn't make himself known just yet. Tim Drake is quite confident with his looks, charms, and reputation but life doesn't seem so easy-going even for his romantic aspects. He needs more time, more planning. Needs more adjustment before you 'accidentally' encounter. But that's alright, the more challenging the better. Anything to learn more about your taste, preference, and dislikes. He'll manage. He always have.
Tim Drake is a man who wears his affection like a badge of honour. Every chance he gets he's busy discovering more about you. No shame whatsoever. Just a little more. He's learnt every little habits, details about you that you couldn't even fathom.
But there is also a side of him he refuses to admit. Logic and perfection are two words in his vocabulary highlighted in red. Absolute must no objections. And yet, sometimes the thought of you make him weirdly impulsive. People say what is love without guts but Tim hates it.
That is until. UNTIL you were seen hanging out with your friend at the café the other day. He bites his lips. The hangout didn't feel like normal friendship. It felt more than that.
Tim Drake is a man who is calculative. He stands by his beliefs, and is confident in his judgements. At least that's what he thought. But something urges in his mind when it comes to you. Something complicated, fogged, black, impulsive and disgusting. He wants you. Maybe that's exactly the reason why he's made the mistake. A rookie mistake. You make him lose precision.
"Excuse me, hi"
"Oh, hello"
"Sorry I ... I just wanted to say hello"
"...Yeah, sure. Did you need something?"
"I like your perfume. Smells Vanilla? I think it was citrus scented last week"
"..."
"I prefer Vanilla. You know, sweets tend to be more addictive than tangy tastes. But I also think sweet suits you more anyway."
"...Oh"
"Yeah?"
"Sorry um, do i know you?"
