BRUCE WAYNE.
"hi, honey. you weren't picking up, but this is quite important. i need to go away for a few days, effective tomorrow. call me back, darling, i want to hear your voice before i leave. love you."
"sorry to bother you, darling. i saw a couple watches you might like, but i wasn't sure which one to get you. so, naturally, i bought both — give me a call so we can arrange a date to see each other again, i know you're busy. see you soon. i love you."
"evening, honey. long day today. long day. just wanted to hear your voice or see if we could meet for a bit. dinner, perhaps? [sighs] i'd just love to see you tonight. love you, bye."
DICK GRAYSON.
"hey, i tried calling but you didn't answer — so i hope you're okay, obviously — but i was wondering what you would do if i accidentally used up the rest of your nice shampoo? only hypothetically, though. and also where did you buy it? you know, if that were to happen."
"i know you're at work right now, and i should actually be getting back to working on a case, but i went for a coffee break — you know, and to just let my thoughts process for a bit — and did you know they opened up a new cat café on seventh? let me know if you're free at all this weekend, there was the cutest cat in the window, and i wanna know it's name real bad. speak later... oh! and have a good day, love you. [blows kiss into phone]"
JASON TODD.
"hey, you. hope you're having a good time out in freaking budapest, sounds like it's really cool. i actually forgot you're six hours ahead, so you're probably sleeping. but then i guess you have something nice to wake up to. i mean... assuming you find this nice. anyways. i miss you. hope to hear from you soon, and see you sunday. i mean, if you wanna see me on sunday. i know that's when you get back, but you might be pretty jetlagged... anyway, i'm rambling. sleep well, love you, bye."
"[soft, self-depricating chuckle] i feel like i'm always calling you when you're asleep. just got back from patrol. i guess you could say it was pretty quiet, which is good but it makes it kinda boring. [a few beats of silence] i should go. i— i love.. you. yeah. i hope you know that."
"[a male voice, pitching it up to sound feminine] ooooh, i love you. kiss me, kiss me, i love you. my sugarplum, my pumpkin. [faint shout in background] who took my fucking phone!? [closer voice laughs] oh, fuck—"
TIM DRAKE.
"ohh, shit you're probably driving, aren't you? i– i don't usually call back so soon after a first date, but— wait, i didn't mean it like that, i just meant... [exasperated sigh] nevermind. i just quickly called because you left your sweater, and i was wondering if you wanted it back? let me know whenever you're free, no– no rush. i don't want to force you to be with me again, especially if you didn't have a good time. [slight pause] i mean, i had a good time. i had a really good time! uh– but, anyway. yeah. call me back."
"hey, i'm on my way back from patrol and was just gonna swing by. you might be asleep, you might be... i dunno. i'll knock on the window, see if you answer. see ya! maybe. bye."
"no pressure, hope you're having a good time with your friends, but wanted to let you know i'm on standby whenever you want a lift home. just playing red dead online with duke, but i can leave whenever you want. i'll stay up until two, but i doubt you'd stay out that long. see you later, lovely. stay safe."
DUKE THOMAS.
"sorry i missed you today, your coworker said you just left. wanted to give you a kiss, but i can wait, i can wait. get home safe, give me a call when you can. i'm just walking now to the bodega, gonna get a sub, and i'm super excited. small wins. eat well tonight, i'm excited to hear about what you have for dinner. love you so much. buh-bye."
"real quick warning before you come round, we don't have any spare toothbrushes, because someone got them shot up on his motorbike. [distant shout] hey! it's not my fault— [a door closes] anyways, super excited to see you. we're getting pizzaaaaa."
"just got a haircut, and i'm just gonna stop off at a convenience store to grab some snacks, some drinks, and then i'll be right at yours. i keep seeing posts about, like, when your boyfriend gets a haircut, or your crush, or something, and you lose feelings — so i hope you still love me like this. [chuckles] personally, i think it looks great! i think it'll be fine. [laughs again] see you in, like, ten. bye."
DAMIAN WAYNE.
"i am just calling you so you can save my number. this is damian... [a few seconds of silence, although there's faint voices in the background] i seem very unsocial. bye."
"i know you are at work right now, but i was just reading, and came across a passage that reminded me of you. hold on. [some rustling of paper, the phone settles down on a surface] i will love you forever; whatever happens. till i die and after i die, and when i find my way out of the land of the dead, i'll drift about forever, all my atoms, till i find you again. [a few beats of silence, before the voicemall ends]"
"hello. call me back when you can. timothy thinks he knows more about you than i do, and we must prove him wrong. he says he is... angrybaiting me? i don't know what it means, but it is imperative that i show him i know you better. we are dating, after all. who does he think he is?"
