07 . a kiss on both cheeks as a greeting -> Tim

Tim's nose scrunches in anticipation as Violet gently tugs him forward, lips brushing against his cheeks. The sensation of it all reminds him of pet owners with their pets. It also reminds him of how both loving and suffocating Dick can be because Dick often does the same thing, although Dick often throws in a noogie at the end. "You've been spending too much time with Dick."

[ 27. ] violet wipes the blood from tim's face, murmuring, "let's get you cleaned up." -> Sisterly vibes mayhaps?

Tim feels floaty, like his soul is not properly tethered to his body. His head feels fluffy, like someone stuffed it with clouds. This is hardly the first time he's dissociated before. However ,this is the first time he's been seriously hurt in a long time. His domino mask has already been peeled off his face, a warm washcloth gently tapping at his skin to clean it in a way that aggravated his injuries. Slowly blinking as his brain churns, struggling to process her words, there's an audible pause between her words and his response. "Thank you."

🕯 tim

It's not a child's job to take on the world's burdens but there is little Tim wouldn't do to help Dick feel safer and happier. Tim often wonders what Dick's life and Jason's life was like if he had been a bit smarter and a bit braver... Drake Manor and Wayne Manor are close. What would all of their lives been like if he tried to befriend them soon? Tim would never want to steal Robin from Dick or Jason but if he became a vigilante sooner he might've been able to help save Jason...

Tim knows that many people assume he's the one that 'fixed' a grieving Batman. But Tim doesn't feel like he fixed anything. Instead, he feels like he helped rekindle all of the feelings were already there. After all, Bruce had been grieving before Jason died -- grieving his parents and the happy life he could've had.

Dick is Bruce's first child. Dick's warmth and energy has helped heal Bruce and their siblings. Dick and Alfred, and Tim's eyes, are the glue that holds their chaotic family together.

There's no doubt in Tim's mind that his life, the life of the Wayne's and the whole world would be darker without Dick Grayson. Tim just hopes Dick will let people take care of him just as much as he does them. After all, even though the world needs Dick Grayson, it doesn't deserve him.

"nothing is the same, & some things have to change now." for tim <3

"Is this your way of telling me I'm being too stubborn and need to relax a little?" Tim asks with a weary chuckle. He has been going to bit overboard, both with personal projects and criminal cases. He's not opposed to help, especially when he needs it but Tim already knows what his goals are and how to achieve them. Still, his sleep deprived brain might not be the most reliable right now. "What if I took a break as a sort of truce?"

[bats1gnals]

"I'm glad I met you." / for tim!! :)

"The feeling is mutual," he assures her, smile ever present on his face. Nothing like a good team up to get the blood pumping. With all of their enemies cuffed and on their way into custody, Tim wipes the sweat from his brow with a small cloth from his utility belt. Once he's confident he's (slightly) less sweaty, he adds, "want to grab something to eat? My treat to celebrate the success of a mission well accomplished."

[bats1gnals]

let me help. ( for tim! )

"You know I'm starting to see why Batman has 'annoying' as one of your defining traits in your file on the Batcomputer," Tim grumbles, fingers flying against his wristcomputer as he searches for the live feed of nearby cameras. "Why should I let you help? For all I know this 'Riddler copycat' isn't a copycat but a new and overly convoluted riddle."

"I stand corrected," Tim murmurs with a low, amused chuckle. It's good to know he isn't the only sleep deprived vigilante around here. Allies in suffering and all of that. "It's like sleepwalking except you're awake. Or barely awake," Tim adds with a small shrug. "Is this your way of confessing to me you haven't slept in ages too?"
