0.1 Doing cute random TikTok trends
0.1 Damian was never interested in taking upon the interests of TikTok. However him being the youngest Wayne he was the only one who had TikTok, and the only one who had such an active girlfriend that being you of course. He never used it often yet if he did all his videos were with you. One of his videos being him voicing over you doing your makeup, you insisted he posted it on his main since he had a bunch of fans.
“Today my girlfriend suggested I voiceover her makeup.” Since you two had decided that it would be better if he just stands to the side and lightly voices over you both did it. He had a chair to the side and had a mic and you occasionally said a few words. Most people had asked for a makeup tutorial so you knew if your boyfriend could say it, it would save you time on speaking and thinking.
“Before we start this I had to do a lot for him to agree, a lot. Please don’t let me regret this.” You then gave the mic back to him and then started to apply the makeup whilst he says things. “I think her bare face is better because it’s good for kissing although that could’ve just been my own belief.” He then held your hand, he usually never shows pda on camera but it’s been a while since you have due to you both having school and life.
“Such a softie, I love him.” Since you didn’t have a mic you gently whispered to yourself, you knew nobody could hear it so you thought it would be nice to remind yourself of how sweet he really is. As you continued with your routine you then ended it and posted it. “Thank you Damie for doing this.” You then kissed his cheek, he always had a flutter in his stomach even if you’ve been dating each other for years.

@.user333 : they are so cute I need ship edits
@.2883 : I love their chemistry I’ve never seen Damian be this chalant 😻‼️‼️
@.Wendy’s : ugh my favorite couple I swear😭
0.2 You saw that leprechaun month was here, it wasn’t as romantic compared to the actual month of love but you thought it would be nice at least. Setting up your phone camera hitting record you weren’t doing bunch but just talking to him. “Damie, why haven’t you asked me to be your leprechaun? I thought you were my boyfriend..” his face completely dropped when he heard what you said. Not even in a shocked way more in just like a ‘why would you ever say that’ kind of way. “Habibti, now why the fuck, I say this in the most polite way Habibti, that you explain why I make you my leprechaun.”
“Because you love and care for me.” As almost kind of like a sharped eye cat his eyes go wide. He mumbles something incoherent in Arabic but it didn’t matter anyways. “I love you but that doesn’t mean I’m making you my leprechaun, you’re already tiny compared to me.” As you looked to the camera your face was shocked and you ended the video and posted it. Even though in the video nobody could see Damian you could tell you were gagged.

@.useridk : crazy lowkey how she got gagged trying to have a cute moment. 🙁
@.Burgerking : love you these are my parents fr ‼️‼️‼️
0.3 You hadn’t been filming TikTok’s with Damian in a while and this was the first time he suggested to make a TikTok with him. He told you to just go with the flow and let him take over, saying you’ve probably already heard of the audio. Ironically that became his most viewed TikTok. As the audio was playing he had span you around, being careful not to drop you. He then immediately picked you up as the lyrics had said “my feet are off the ground.” You had dangled your feet a bit to match the lyrics. He then held your hands his eyes only filled with love deep inside. “Habibti don’t get too excited, it’s once a while I’ll film with you.” You nodded your head he wouldn’t admit it but it was nice filming TikTok’s with you.

@.user11 : first time Damian has posted in months
@.user2 : I will forever love this duo
@.Kb9news : reporting live to my favorite couple
Summary: When you go off after he irritates you only for him to catch you say “maybe cause you’re pretty”
Dick:
“Maybe pretty?”
He very much knows he’s pretty. And not just randomly pretty. He’s YOUR pretty whether you were aware or not when you made him yours
Amused but also not where he’s wanting to know what exactly made you think he’s a “maybe”. Like on what basis, standards. Just who exactly is he competing against?
He does make a side note how adorable you look when you huff though it’s most definitely not the time to mention that or bring it up
If you manage to sass him before he gets a word out along the lines of “in what world makes you think you’re pretty when being irritating?” or “you think i’m going to think you’re pretty when i’m this annoyed”, he won’t say anything and listen. If you don’t, he’ll change the argument and make it over the “maybe pretty”
Either way, it’s going to bother him for the rest of the week as he continuously thinks about it during a mission, spam every group chat he’s in asking if they think he’s pretty
Gone as low as asking Haley if she thought he was pretty. He didn’t appreciate the way she tilted her head in confusion
It’s when you tell him that despite what you said, he’s your one and only pretty both inside and out after receiving a text from everyone to do something about him and his mood, that he stops and goes back to normal
Pulls you into a bear hug, nuzzling his cheek into your hair to then proceed to place kisses all over your neck and face with content that’s he’s the only pretty one for you
Jason
“Oh? So you think I’m pretty?”
He’s insufferable and smug, quickly catching to what you just said
A big ol` smirk on his face, eyes sparkling in amusement when you pause and start getting flustered
Sure, you didn’t mean to say that. Yup, of course, he totally understands. After all, he’s pretty to you isn’t he?
Doesn’t let you take what you said back, it makes him feel warm and fuzzy inside knowing that you found him pretty
Especially considering all the scars he has and the things he went through, most would not use the word pretty for him.
He’s an extremely self conscious person who doesn’t often get compliments. Even if he does, it’s for his work as an outlaw rather than his own person. So don’t fault him too much for him teasing you, he’s simply really happy
He does stop teasing you and take you seriously when you snap at him, asking if he was paying attention to what you said. Despite half his mind being on cloud nine, the other half has been paying attention so he is aware what you’ve been telling him
Gives an apology, half heartedly but still an apology, agreeing to whatever conditions you propose. Has to hold back from laughing from the way you look annoyed without realizing how instead of looking agitated, you looked like you were pouting - and that’s freaking cute.
Purposely gets you to topple over the edge of the sofa for an impromptu snuggle session where he rests his head on your chest and enjoy the hand that plays with his hair from giving up in ranting at him
Tim
“I’m pretty?”
Poor boy is completely flustered. A blubbering, hot mess that doesn’t help you to calm down when you realize what you said
He’s going through a crisis in his head, brain going “oh my god they think i'm pretty” to “holy crap, they think i’m pretty”
No, he is not paying attention to what you try saying as an excuse to cover up that you thought he was pretty. Or anything after that.
Help, he can’t even look at you in the eyes, your words echoing in his ears to point it got him to turn red from the tip of ears down to the base of his neck
Smart? Yes. Fun to hang out with? Yes. Pretty? Pretty???
When you yell out his full name, he finally snaps his attention back to you, fumbling over his words to make it seem as though he was listening the whole time
He’s hyper aware and extremely conscious to the point when you go “you okay?” with a look of concern and try touching him, he jumps
When he tells you the reason for him to be jumpy after you ask what has gotten into him all of a sudden, both of you were matching, blushing as red as his Red Robin suit
The conversation ends with choppy sentences including you intention to lecture his ears out going out the window as he holds your hand and leans his head over yours with a silly, derpy grin as it settles in that you thought he was pretty
Duke
“You think I’m pretty?”
His brain short circuits, all sass dies inside him
No thoughts, just you calling him pretty, repeating his head like a broken record. Actually can be considered brain dead since that’s how he feels
Snapping your fingers, shaking him by the shoulder, calling his name a million times won’t work. He’s not responding not because he doesn’t want to, rather he can’t. Literally, he can’t formulate a response
Is this how stans feel when their favorite celebrities compliments them? `Cause he’s ascending into heaven right now over how the person he is loyal and devoted completely to called him pretty
He doesn’t realize how long it takes you to get him to snap back to reality though it seems like it was a while when he comes back to the living you were look more concerned rather than irritated
Side note, he doesn’t really know how you were able to get him back though he might have an idea from how his head, slightly, stings a bit
Not like that’ll even matter when his voice isn’t his usual confident and sarcastic voice but has a slight stutter, quieter, and polite
He’s also jumpy, cheeks and ears burning when you voice out your concern only to end up asking if you really think he’s pretty as a reply
He manages to pass out while standing, blissful yet happiest smile on his face when you give up trying to give him a piece of your mind and give him a bear hug, telling him he’s more than pretty
Damian Wayne
“Obviously I’m pretty?”
Raises an unamused eyebrow at you, unsure why you’re stating the obvious. Have you met his parents? Of course he’s going to be pretty. Or that’s how he acts on the outside at least
Inside he’s absolutely flattered and filled with joy, his mind recognizing how you thought he was pretty/he is pretty to you
Definitely is getting a kick of you being flustered on top of being irritated especially seeing how you’re blushing from belatedly realization what exactly you just said to him
It’s to the point that when you try to go back to what you were saying, it goes in one ear and out the other as he counters with “but you think i’m pretty.”, “didn’t you say i was pretty?”, or “why can’t you answer my question: am i pretty?” He’s extremely smug when he says that btw
The more you react to it, the more it’ll amuse him. Worst part is that no matter how much you deny saying along the lines “when have I ever called you pretty?” or “do you really think i think you’re pretty right now”, he’ll bring out a voice recorder who knows where he got it from or when he had it on him and plays what you said to him back on speaker
If you manage to sass him back about how “wow, to think that’s all it takes to stroke your ego” or something similar, he’ll get petty and sulk. Might even try to start a childish argument with you
If you don’t, expect him to pretty much be in a good mood for the next few days around you and the others. Especially with others, his family and Jon are going to be wondering why he’s suddenly smiling to himself and in such a good mood. It’s scaring them especially when he does it out of nowhere, without any reason they personally know of
He’s going also let you indulge with anything you want to do with him whether it’s simply hugging, cuddling, hand-holding, spend time at a park - he’s at the point he wouldn’t mind since he’s too happy to be called pretty by you
MHA ways they would kiss you.

જ⁀➴ HOW THEY CELEBRATE VALENTINE’S DAY WITH YOU
ft. bruce wayne ‧ dick grayson ‧ jason todd ‧ damian wayne ‧ tim drake — headcanons
a/n: happy valentine’s day !! ♡
BRUCE WAYNE doesn’t really care about valentine’s day. he cares about you, though, which means he acknowledges it, even if he’d rather ignore the whole ordeal. a private dinner, away from prying eyes, in a restaurant where the lighting is low and the waitstaff are paid to be invisible. at some point, he slides a gift across the table—carefully chosen, either indulgent or deeply personal. a diamond necklace, or maybe a signed first edition of your favourite book—something you’d mentioned in passing months ago, tucked away in a conversation. he remembered. later, in the limo, bruce pulls up the partition before finally, finally catching your mouth in a kiss.
DICK GRAYSON loves valentine’s day. loves love. loves you. so he goes all out. you wake up to breakfast in bed: heart-shaped pancakes smothered in syrup with strawberries piled high. the card he hands you has a corny pun, but devastatingly sweet. he pairs it with an enormous teddy bear (too big to fit on the bed) the whole day is an adventure—ice skating, movie, rock-climbing, and when the sun starts to dip under the horizon, he leads you to the rooftop, setting up a picnic under the stars with an overpriced bottle of wine.
JASON TODD thinks valentine’s day is bullshit. it’s a scam designed to separate idiots from their money over overpriced chocolates and flowers that die in a week… but if it matters to you, then it matters. so he shows up at your door, a second helmet in hand, jerking his head toward the motorcycle without a word. he takes you on a ride through the city, the wind whipping past, your arms wrapped around his waist. when you get back, instead, when you get back, he orders greasy takeout—nothing fancy, just what you both want. the food barely lasts ten minutes before it’s abandoned, containers shoved aside, forgotten as he pins you onto the couch. the whole night was just prelude to this.
DAMIAN WAYNE does not partake in artifice or frivolity. no, he doesn’t acknowledge valentine’s day at all. the flowers, chocolates, saccharine bullshit irritates him. but you wake up to find a oblong wrapped package on your nightstand, and when you open it, it’s a weapon. a beautiful, custom-forged blade, perfectly balanced, your initials engraved into the hilt. when you ask him about it, he barely glances up from his sketchbook. if you are to be involved with me, you should be properly equipped. but you think you can see the tiniest flicker of satisfaction when you tell him you love it.
TIM DRAKE planned the entire thing weeks in advance. he’s always been an overthinker, and wants everything to be perfect for you. he shows up at your door slightly frazzled, running on caffeine and pure determination. over dinner (the reservation booked since christmas), he hands you a small velvet box. inside, a minimalistic yet stylish bracelet—just when you‘re about to thank him, he just smirks and presses the clasp. it’s not just jewelry. it’s a custom-built device, wired with a discreet GPS tracker, a silent distress signal, and—his personal favourite—a high-voltage taser disguised as a charm. just in case, he tells you, like it’s an afterthought.

BATBOYS’ reaction to you asking to paint their nails
NOTE: I’m dumb as hell and forgot about Duke on this and the other one just give me a sec.
Bruce Wayne:
- You’re doing your own nails when he walks in.
- Clearly you’re bored, or something, because he can easily pay to get them done professionally.
- He approaches you, gently lifting your hand to inspect.
- “Pretty,” he murmurs, followed by a kiss to your knuckle.
- You grin. “Can I do yours?”
- He considers, even though there’s already a denial on the tip of his tongue. But, it doesn’t come out, because you look really excited at the thought.
- He agrees. And it’s lame.
- A clear top coat. That’s all he’ll let you do.
- Bruce Wayne can’t be seen with sparkles on his hands, even if he doesn’t care what the media thinks.
- He believes it’s too feminine for him.
- They’d probably be chipped immediately given how handsy his nighttime life is, anyway.
- Still, it’s something—you’ll take what you can get.
- He actually comes to you every few days so he’s able to keep it on.
- He does try on black at some point. It looks odd on his large, calloused hands. That’s just him, though.
- The top coat is too unnoticeable for anyone to comment, but his kids are smart, observant.
- “Why are your nails shiny?”
- “Because it makes them happy.”
Dick Grayson:
- He really likes watching you do your nails and is very satisfied when you do a color he recommends.
- Said color most of the time is blue.
- You’re waiting for the polish to dry when you ask, “You want me to do yours?”
- Grayson is open-minded, but he’s also utterly in love with you, so obviously he agrees.
- You’d both have black on your thumbs and pinkies, with that iconic vivid blue on the rest.
- Unfortunately, colliding his fist into jaws and his training does get in the way of keeping them nice.
- Which means he gets spoiled with your attention even more as you fix them. Yay!
- He’s lowkey cocky when he takes down criminals with it on.
- “LOL I just kicked your ass with nail polish my partner put on” ahh mf.
- He’s incredibly defensive if anyone teases him.
- They’re basically insulting you, too.
- They eventually stop because he’s dead serious.
Jason Todd:
- “You look better with it,” he would say upon the offer.
- But he’s equally bored. He’ll agree.
- Black. Pure black. Black hole black.
- He’d make an edgy comment about how it’s his “soul” or whatever.
- He actually kind of likes it. It fits his aesthetic.
- Beats people a little harder if they happen to chip it.
- He’ll let you add a small, red matching heart on a finger.
- Preferably middle. It’s his favorite one.
- He would make snide comments when he’s fighting.
- “They did my nails so pretty, don’t you think?” (Morseo his “fingerless gloves” era.)
- Not that they’d notice. His knuckles are being too personal with their face.
- He’d be like Dick. Why is simple nail polish just so fuckin’ funny?
Tim Drake:
- He won’t necessarily be interested in polish, but rather small designs.
- Like a little flower, or a heart.
- Super simplistic stuff that has him smile when he looks at it.
- You did, as cheesy as it is, a Red Robin one time.
- May or may not have taken forever.
- He’s genuinely sad if they get ruined. You worked hard on them.
- He’d probably apologize because clearly it’s his fault—heavy sarcasm, by the way.
- You remind him that it gives you an opportunity to do more.
- He probably would ignore whomever made comments that weren’t compliments until they apologize.
- He hasn’t talked to Jason in a while.
Damian Wayne:
- “Don’t you have your own nails?”
- You’ll offer to bathe Titus for the rest of the year, and suddenly he’s sitting on your floor while you put a tacky hot pink on him.
- He lets you do whatever, because he doesn’t keep long. He’s just not into it.
- But if he isn’t doing anything, he won’t take it off until he has to.
- Him texting Jon about how stupid he is with cunty ass nails.
- No one finds out. It’s his little secret.
- And then Bruce forgets to knock one time during a session.
- “Father,” he greets flatly, not looking up.
- You’ve never seen the Batman so…confused.

do i need to start a taglist?
BATBOYS’ reaction to you asking to do their makeup
Bruce Wayne:
- Would give you a gruff, “No.”
- He loves you, but that’s simply not something he’s interested in.
- You bring it up a few more times and the answer is always the same.
- And then one day, he stares at you while you’re sitting at the expensive vanity he bought you, watching you as you do your eyeliner.
- “You can put that on me,” he says after a few moments of mental gymnastics.
- You turn towards him, slightly surprised. “Huh?”
- He’s not fond of repeating himself, so he’d just pat his thigh.
- You’re getting up, because this is a chance of a lifetime, and you quickly settle yourself on his lap.
- His hands hold your hips. He looks at you with those pretty blue eyes expectantly.
- “Do you want a cat eye? Smokey?” You cup his jaw with your free hand, tilting it.
- He grunts in response. Probably a “be quiet and do it” grunt.
- He waits patiently as your fingers work, following your soft-spoken instructions to close his eyelids or look up. Other than that, he’s not moving an inch.
- You do something simple—just under his waterline, above his top eyelashes.
- When you're done, you drag him over to the mirror. You weren’t sure what his reaction would be.
- “Hm.” The noise is acknowledging, not displeased.
- You smile at him. “Do you like it?”
- There’s a difference between liking it and not being bothered by it.
- Still, he gives you an imperceptible nod. Just to see you smile wider.
- He didn’t take it off for patrol. His kids teased him about it, and Alfred had a barely-concealed humored expression.
- It’s the only thing he’ll let you do. He doesn’t ask, but at this point, he expects you to put it on.
- It’s a reminder of you while he’s out, that you’re waiting for him to come back.
Dick Grayson:
- He would probably ask you to do it, instead of the other way around.
- Just out of curiosity.
- But if you brought it up first, he’s immediately sitting.
- “Make me look pretty,” as if he already isn’t.
- He’d let you do what you want, however he’ll mention how certain colors don’t look good on him.
- Wouldn’t protest if you did a full face. He feels like a pampered princess, and he definitely enjoys the attention you’re giving him.
- He needs progress updates, and information on what you’re using.
- He’ll try to make you annoyed by shutting his eyes when you tell him not to, or talking in the middle of lipstick application.
- “Do you want to be gorgeous or not?” you huff.
- Yes, he does. He quickly stops.
- When you’re done, he’s gasping at himself, fluttering his lashes.
- He wants to match with you, so he offers to do yours.
- Sits in your lap, just like you did with him.
- It’s…a process.
- But it’s not half bad.
- You both take selfies together.
- He’s your devoted expirementee, now.
- He sets himself up by sending some of the photos to the Bat-Family group chat.
- Gets hounded on by Jason. Heavily.
- Does he care? Absolutely not. They are totally jealous.
Jason Todd:
- He’s going to laugh in your face. Sorry.
- And then it turns into confusion when he sees how serious you are.
- He’d shut it down, at first, but he keeps thinking about it for some reason.
- Secretly scrolls on his phone to look at things that he might like.
- Eventually, he approaches you, inspiration picture in hand, and says, “It has to look exactly like this or you’re fired.”
- It’s simple: light eyeshadow, some eyeliner. Stuff that isn’t super heavy and is still “masculine”.
- He can hear the teasing he’d hypothetically endure from everyone as you do it. It pisses him off.
- And then you murmur praises like, “You’re so handsome,” and suddenly he doesn’t care. It’s for you.
- Despite his lighthearted threat, he requests more things, just so you can keep giving him attention.
- Like Grayson, he’d question what you were using. He’d throw in some stupid comments about how using your fingers to apply stuff would be easier.
- When you’re finished and show him, he doesn’t actually mind it.
- “You didn’t fuck it up,” he mumbles.
- He’ll let you do it again. He finds himself enjoying it—the feeling of your soft brushes against his skin, and how you’d gently guide his head to where you want it.
- One time, while you were perched on his lap, focusing on applying, the door opened. Dick was mid-sentence before he finally processed what was going on.
- “Oh, wow.”
- To make things worse, he snapped a picture and suddenly you were moved off of Jason’s lap.
- Cue the super unnecessary and dramatic chase in an attempt to get Grayson to delete it.
Tim Drake:
- He’d look flustered. Why?
- You’d have to explain it’s just for fun, and how you’re bored.
- He’ll begrudgingly agree. He supposed there’s no harm.
- He wants you to tell him what you’re doing as you work. He’s nervous, like you’re going to poke him in the eye or something.
- You don’t want him to be uncomfortable, so you ask, “Do you want me to stop?”
- Well, your presence and warmth on his lap is enjoyable, and he shakes his head.
- It has his brain quiet down. He just listens to you. He absentmindedly leans into your touch sometimes.
- “Do you want glitter?”
- “I do want glitter,” he murmurs. The sentence has his cheeks heat up. When has he ever wanted glitter?
- Of course you don’t tease him, even if it’s cute.
- After you finish, he isn’t sure how to react. He gives an awkward smile.
- “It would look better on you.”
- While you put away your makeup, it seems everyone decided they needed him for something.
- He honestly forgot he had it on, so he’s confused why Jason is laughing and Dick is trying not to. Damian looks as amused as he can get.
- Bruce, a clueless bypasser, pauses for a moment. He makes an inquisitive hum before he keeps walking.
- You force all of them to apologize and send them on their way. Tim, who is so very embarrassed, gets an extra amount of love from you.
Damian Wayne:
- Damian would stare you down for an unholy amount of time, like you just said the stupidest thing he’s ever heard.
- He’s expecting you to backtrack, to take it back. It is a stupid idea.
- But you’re immune. You give him a soft smile. “Please?”
- He dislikes how easily he gives in. Very, very much.
- He grumbles a lot, insulting you, even as he holds still.
- He lists things you owe him for letting you do this. A lot of them are said just to mess with you.
- At some point, he gets less irritated. It’s only because he’s grown tired of wasting his breath.
- You give him the handheld mirror when you’re done, and he takes a long while to inspect himself. He doesn’t care about the fact that there’s winged eyeliner on his face, he cares that they are uneven.
- He gives you criticism. Actual, somewhat informative criticism.
- “You need to blend outwards, not in.”
- He makes you fix it until there’s no mistakes.
- It’s actually a weird and kind of unbelievable experience for you.
- You are never doing it again—you wanted to have fun, not be reprimanded.
- He still has it on when Alfred calls for dinner.
- They all kind of stare. They’re too confused to comment.
- “Am I high?” Jason whispers quietly.
- The only thing Damian says is, “Can someone pass me the salt?”
doing their nails
Damian Wayne is that type of boyfriend who'd be nonchalant towards you. Like, you both are high school sweethearts. Almost everyone in your school knows about your not-so-romantic relationship with him. Despite all of your efforts to make Damian soft for you, he'd just react minimally
But deep inside, he's burning. He'll literally kiss you even though you both are in public if he can. Damian will bring you heaven and earth to prove his love. He loves you so much that he'd literally react like that just to keep you safe. Being vigilante makes him a very accident prone and crime magnet, and he doesn't want to get you hurt. Even the thought of you having a small cut or bruise makes his heart aches.
He might not be a very expressive boyfriend, but he'd literally sacrifice everything just to keep you safe and sound.

ദ്ദി ≽^⎚˕⎚^≼ .ᐟ, 𝜗𝜚 ➜ ྀི new mail(!) — author says it’s tiny head canon time!! Remember all head canons are gender neutral unless specified. Ummm I don’t think its Gn idk check in like an hour im still overseeing it
—- ദ്ദി ≽^⎚˕⎚^≼ .ᐟ, 𝜗𝜚 ᯓ (ʚɞ) Damian Wayne x clingy yapper reader. Usual trigger warnings.
.☘︎ ݁˖ Damian for sure will listen to you yap wether it’s doing homework whilst listening to you or you sitting near him and fiddling with each other whilst you yap. he doesn’t care where he is as long as you are near and happy he’s happy.
.☘︎ ݁˖ he doesn’t show he cares but when he does it’s in the most subtle ways, trying to figure out why you like a certain show/movie or a character basically your interest. He will try to understand so conversations will turn into more of a
— “you know that’s my favorite character in the entire world!”
— “even when they died?”
— “how do you know that?”
He prefers to engage then sit there and say “mhm” and move on. He wants you to know that he’s listening.
.☘︎ ݁˖on days where you don’t have school it’s usually spent laying on a bed, you yapping whilst he gently pats your head. He was first unaccustomed to touching your head and body when you guys first started dating but he learned to be more comfortable it got to a point where he just has his hand on you somewhere.
.☘︎ ݁˖ doesn’t, and will never show his vulnerability infront of his brothers or anyone that doesn’t matter to him personally on a deeper level, so basically you. He hates showing how soft he is to you because then he just seems like a love stricken boy, no he’s a sickly yearning in love boy and to him it wasn’t puppy love. He always treated the relationship very seriously he treated it as if you were the only person in the world who mattered when you spoke.
.☘︎ ݁˖ when he’s on a mission or in a class you guys don’t share or you’re sick and can’t call all he can think of is are they ok?” It got to a point where he made his brothers do a stake out with him when you said you were going to have a sleepover.
.☘︎ ݁˖ he wouldn’t date someone younger or older than him, in years anyways. In months if you’re younger he would take every chance just to say “I’m older than you so you have to listen to me.” It’s like him using his senior citizenship.. if you’re older than I feel like he just would treat it as it as and move on.
.☘︎ ݁˖ when he’s listens to you talk at dinner or whenever your eating, he stops eating sometimes just so he can add a comment to what you said to him.
♦ request: yes; domestic fluffy things ♦ beta’d: nope ♦ a/n: oh and you can pry the tim drake glasses thing out of my cold dead hands. co written.
⇝ Date Night Headcanons:
spontaneous & playful – dick loves to keep you on your toes. you’ll get a text hours before: "wear something comfortable, trust me. 💙" and then suddenly, you’re on a rooftop picnic, at a carnival, or taking impromptu salsa lessons. no two dates are ever the same.
he lives for shared laughs – whatever the date is, laughter is guaranteed. he’ll tell ridiculous stories, crack jokes, pull you into dances when there’s no music—anything to hear your laugh in the night air.
big on physical affection – he cannot keep his hands off you. he’ll hold your hand at all times, spin you in the middle of the street, kiss you like you’re the only thing keeping him standing. the world disappears when he’s with you.
nostalgic heart – sometimes, he takes you places that mean something to him. old blüdhaven diners, childhood circus memories, a ferris wheel overlooking the city. he lets you into pieces of his past without hesitation.
sunset or midnight dates – if it’s evening, it’s vibrant and full of life - city lights, live music, neon glow. if it’s late-night, it’s something quiet, sacred, where it’s just you and him against the sleeping world.
the prince of rooftop dates – some nights, it’s just blankets, takeout, and city lights from above. there’s something poetic about gotham stretching beneath your feet while he holds you close.
always ends the night right – whether it’s stumbling home tipsy from laughter, slow-dancing in the kitchen, or falling asleep with you in his arms, dick makes sure the night never ends without making you feel like the most loved person in the world.
the carnival hums around you, a whirlwind of neon and laughter, the scent of popcorn and sweet, warm summer air wrapping around you like a dream. the world is alive tonight; lights flickering against the skyline, people moving like currents through the fairground - but all you can focus on is the man beside you.
dick’s hand is laced with yours, fingers threading together effortlessly, like they were always meant to fit. his smile is wide, eyes glowing in the golden light of the carousel before him. there’s something soft in his expression, something unguarded, like he’s letting the moment settle deep into his bones.
"i told you this was a good idea," he teases, nudging his shoulder against yours.
you laugh, rolling your eyes, but you can’t deny it. it’s one of those nights that feel eternal, weightless, something worth remembering forever. the ferris wheel looms ahead, the final piece of your evening, and dick pulls you toward it with an excited grin that makes him look younger, freer.
the ride lifts you above the carnival, the noise fading into a distant hum. the city stretches out before you - blüdhaven’s skyline blinking in the distance, gotham’s shadow beyond it. and in the middle of it all, dick grayson is looking at you like you hung the stars specifically for him.
"you know," he murmurs, arm draped over the back of your seat, body angled toward you, eyes locked onto yours like you’re the only thing that matters. "i think this is my favorite date yet."
you raise an eyebrow. "you've said that for every date."
"and every time, i mean it." his smile softens, something quieter, something deeper. the wind ruffles his dark hair, and he looks at you like this; like home, like warmth, like love.
the ride slows to a stop at the very top, the city breathing beneath you, the carnival lights flickering like fireflies below. dick shifts closer, his forehead resting against yours, his breath a warm whisper in the cool night air.
"stay with me here," he says softly, his fingers curling around your wrist, anchoring himself to you. "just a little longer."
and as the world spins on below, you do.
⇝ Date Night Headcanons:
drives to nowhere – when the city feels too heavy, he picks you up in his car and just drives. no destination, no rush, just empty highways and quiet music playing through the speakers.
library dates at midnight – not public libraries. his personal one. he lets you curl up with books in his apartment, old texts and mystery novels spread out between you. there’s no pressure to talk—just existing together in the glow of dim, warm lamplight.
cooking something together – tim is terrible at cooking. but if you suggest it, he’ll suffer through it for you. and if it goes wrong? you’ll end up sitting on the kitchen counter, eating takeout, laughing at the disaster you made.
hidden lookout spots – there are places in gotham only tim knows. rooftops with the best view of the skyline, secret corners of the city where the stars are still visible. if he shares them with you, you’re one of the few people he trusts completely.
long games of chess or cards – it’s not competitive—it’s intimate. he doesn’t just play with anyone, but with you, it’s different. it’s slow, full of teasing and quiet moments where he watches you more than the board.
movie nights done right – tim is notoriously bad at actually watching movies. you’ll start one, but half an hour in, he’s leaning against you, mumbling half-asleep observations until he eventually dozes off on your shoulder.
letting the city sleep without him – some nights, he decides gotham doesn’t need him. some nights, he just needs you. those are the nights he lets himself stay. lets himself be yours, fully and without hesitation.
the streets of gotham stretch endlessly ahead, neon lights flickering in the distance, but none of it matters - not when the road belongs to the two of you.
tim’s hands rest easy on the steering wheel, his fingers drumming against the leather in time with the low hum of the radio. it’s late; the kind of late that makes the city feel like it exists just for you, where the world is quiet enough to breathe. the engine purrs beneath you as he takes another turn down an empty road, the streetlights flashing in intervals through the windshield, painting his face in gold and shadow.
he’s not in a hurry. there’s nowhere to be.
one of your legs is tucked beneath you in the passenger seat, your body angled toward him, watching the way his shoulders relax, the way exhaustion lingers in the shape of his mouth. it’s rare for tim to look at ease. even now, you can tell his mind is still too full, always turning, always running.
and yet, here he is.
"you okay?" you murmur, breaking the comfortable silence.
tim hums softly, his eyes flicking toward you for half a second before returning to the road. "yeah. better now."
the night air filters in through the cracked window, cool against your skin. tim’s jacket is tossed over the center console - he had shrugged it off earlier, mumbling something about you needing it more than he did. you glance at the dashboard clock. nearly 2 am.
"we should probably head back soon," you say, but there’s no real insistence in your voice.
tim smiles, small but real. "five more minutes."
you don’t argue.
you lean your head against the seat, letting the city blur past, the hum of the car and the steady rhythm of his breathing lulling you into something warm, something peaceful. five more minutes becomes ten. ten becomes twenty. but neither of you say anything about it.
eventually, tim pulls the car into a quiet overlook, one of the secret places he never shares with anyone else. a place where the city looks almost peaceful, where gotham is just a sea of blinking lights instead of a battlefield. he shifts the car into park, exhales, then leans back in his seat, tilting his head to look at you.
"you ever think about just leaving?" he asks, voice soft. "just… disappearing for a night. no responsibilities. no alarms blaring at three in the morning."
you tilt your head, watching him. "you mean like we’re doing right now?"
his lips twitch. "exactly like we’re doing right now."
there’s something almost vulnerable in the way he says it—like this is the only time he truly feels weightless. not red robin, not wayne enterprises’ heir, not gotham’s sleepless protector. just tim.
you reach for his hand, threading your fingers through his. he lets you.
"you could’ve been out there tonight," you murmur. "but you’re here."
his thumb brushes absently over your skin, a quiet affirmation.
"yeah," he says, and there’s something in his voice that sounds like relief. "i think i needed to be."
and as the city flickers below, as the clock creeps further into the night, tim lets himself stay.

cass struggles with words, but she understands gestures. she notices effort more than anything. when you plan something specifically with her in mind, she understands it means ‘i love you’ without you ever saying a word.
she enjoys sensory experiences more than standard dates. things she can feel - the wind rushing past her on a rooftop, the vibration of music through her chest, the quiet warmth of your hand in hers.
action over words - always. cass doesn’t always know how to talk about her feelings, but she knows how to show them. and when you take the time to show her love in return, she glows in a way that few people ever get to see.
she enjoys movement, but not always in a high-energy way. something like a nighttime roller-skating date, dancing in an empty parking lot, or even just a quiet walk where she can exist in the world without worrying about danger.
she has never been pampered before. she’s used to people training her, using her, expecting something from her. but when you set up a date where it’s just about her - where she can breathe, where she can just be - it leaves her speechless.
she loves closeness, but in subtle ways. leaning against you, pressing her forehead to yours, fingers brushing against your wrist - it’s her way of asking for more.
cass doesn’t need grand gestures. she just needs to feel safe. and when you give her that, she holds onto it like it’s the most precious
thing in the world.
the city hums in the distance, but here, everything is quiet.
a rooftop, high above gotham’s restless streets, bathed in the soft glow of string lights you set up just for her. a picnic blanket is spread out beneath you, the food simple, the effort everything.
cass sits cross-legged beside you, her body relaxed in a way that she rarely allows in the field. the wind tugs at her dark hair, and for a long moment, she just looks around. at the view. at the small setup you arranged. at the details - the things that show you did this for her.
"you planned," she says simply, her voice soft but full.
you smile, nudging your knee against hers. "of course i did."
cass tilts her head, her eyes studying you with that same keen intensity she always carries. but tonight, there’s no wariness behind it. just something warm, something grateful.
she reaches for your hand, running her fingers along the back of it—tracing, memorizing, appreciating.
"i like when you plan," she murmurs.
you squeeze her hand in return. "i like doing things for you."
she doesn’t reply right away, but she doesn’t need to. instead, she shifts closer, resting her head against your shoulder, her fingers still laced with yours. the city may be alive with noise below, but here, in this small, quiet moment, cass is finally at peace.

jason isn’t a ‘traditional’ date night kind of guy. he won’t take you to five-star restaurants, but he will take you to a hidden, hole-in-the-wall diner at 2 am, where the food is messy and the coffee is burnt, but it’s just you and him.
he loves quiet places - where the world doesn’t demand anything from him. abandoned libraries, late-night parks, the fire escape outside his apartment. anywhere he can just exist with you.
he does not like being around rich socialites. a high-end gala date? hell no. but a cozy, dimly lit bar with live blues music? a drive down backroads with nothing but the sound of the radio? perfect.
jason reads to you. not in a romanticized, ‘let me recite shakespeare’ way - but in a, ‘i found this used bookstore and grabbed some old poetry books. want me to read you something?’ way.
he’s a natural at late-night drives. he doesn’t rush. he just lets the road stretch on, windows cracked open, your legs kicked up on the dashboard as the stars blur past.
he cooks, but never follows recipes. if you let him make you dinner, prepare for something incredible - if not entirely chaotic. he makes the best comfort food, and he’ll playfully swat your hands away if you try to help, saying, "hey, this is my thing. you just sit there and look pretty."
he does things for you without announcing them. there’s no ‘look at what i did’ moment - he just fixes the leaking sink in your apartment, keeps extra sweatshirts around because he knows you’ll steal them, and quietly makes sure you’re always safe, even when he’s not around.
the small, tucked-away restaurant is nearly empty by now, the last customers drifting out, the flickering neon ‘open late’ sign humming above the door. the place is nothing special—a hole-in-the-wall joint that doesn’t even show up on google, where the food is greasy, the coffee is strong, and nobody asks questions.
and yet, jason loves it here.
he leans back in the worn-out booth, one arm draped along the backrest, the other loosely curled around a half-empty mug of black coffee. his leather jacket is slung over the seat beside him, his sleeves pushed up, exposing the scars along his forearms.
the soft glow of the tabletop lamp casts golden light across your face, and he watches you like that’s the only thing keeping him grounded.
"you’re staring," you murmur, poking at the last few fries on your plate.
jason smirks, unabashed. "yeah? sue me."
you roll your eyes, but there’s no real bite behind it. just warmth. just the comfort of knowing that this—him, here, like this—is something rare.
he tilts his head, exhaling slow, as if he’s memorizing the moment. the distant hum of an old jukebox, the rain tapping against the windows, the low murmur of the staff closing up for the night. the way you’re just here, across from him, existing in his space like you belong there.
like you’re something he gets to keep.
"this is nice," you say softly, breaking the silence.
jason snorts, tilting his coffee mug at you. "what, eating at a place that probably fails every health inspection?"
you huff a laugh. "no. this. you. the quiet." you tilt your head, watching him the way he watches you. "i like being here with you."
jason stares at you for half a second too long before clearing his throat, shifting slightly. you do that to him—say things so casually, so effortlessly, like it’s not some kind of miracle that he’s still here, still breathing, still being loved.
he taps a slow rhythm against the mug, considering, then shrugs. "yeah," he murmurs, voice softer than before. "me too."
and as the city breathes outside, as the streetlights cast lazy shadows through the windows, jason todd lets himself have this.

damian is precise with his time. if he sets aside a night for you, it is intentional, carved out of a schedule that few people are allowed to touch.
he doesn’t enjoy crowds or noise. most of your dates are quiet, exclusive, just the two of you. private gardens, late-night museum access, hidden places where the world cannot interrupt.
art dates are his favorite. he takes you to galleries after hours, pointing out hidden techniques in brushstrokes, low-voiced explanations that turn into long discussions.
he is highly competitive, but he lets you win (sometimes). chess matches, fencing lessons, horseback riding- if it’s a skill, he will teach you. and if you struggle? he’ll hover behind you, hands guiding yours, murmuring corrections close to your ear.
damian remembers everything you like. if you offhandedly mention an author you enjoy? a signed edition of their book appears in your hands a week later. favorite dessert? it’s on the menu, no matter where he takes you.
he rarely says ‘i love you,’ but he says it constantly in other ways. he walks on the street-side of the sidewalk, adjusts the temperature of the room for your comfort, makes sure your favorite tea is always stocked.
at the end of the night, he doesn’t let you go easily. whether it’s a long drive home in his car, his hand resting over yours, or a lingering moment at your door, he makes every second last.
the museum is empty.
at least, it is for everyone except you and damian.
a private arrangement, locked doors, the city outside reduced to nothing more than a distant hum. the grand halls stretch around you in perfect silence, the air thick with the weight of history, the dim lighting casting soft, golden glows against priceless art.
but damian is not looking at the paintings.
he is watching you.
you stand before a renaissance-era canvas, eyes scanning the fine, intricate strokes of oil paint that have survived for centuries. damian steps closer, the sound of his dress shoes against the marble floor barely audible, but you feel him before you see him.
his voice is quiet, low and smooth in the hush of the museum.
"do you see the brushwork?" his fingers barely lift, gesturing toward the curve of a painted figure’s face. "the layering? it creates depth. almost imperceptible, unless you know what you’re looking for."
you tilt your head, glancing at him from the corner of your eye. "like how you see people?"
damian pauses, then huffs a quiet breath—not quite a laugh, but close. he steps beside you, hands clasped neatly behind his back, posture effortless and composed. "observation is a necessary skill."
you hum, shifting your weight slightly. "and yet, you brought me here instead of going to a gala tonight."
his lips twitch at the corners. "a necessary skill also includes knowing what is a waste of time." his gaze flicks toward yours, something unreadable, something softer than his usual sharpness. "they bore me. you do not."
there it is.
the way damian does not share his time lightly.
you glance back at the painting, but his presence at your side is far more distracting. his cologne lingers in the air—clean, sharp, the scent of warm leather and something deeper, something uniquely him. his fingers twitch slightly where they rest at his side, like he is considering reaching for you. considering, but not yet acting.
you make the decision for him.
your fingers brush against his, slow, deliberate, barely there. and yet, the response is immediate. his hand closes around yours—not urgent, not possessive, but solid. real.
his grip does not falter.
the weight of it lingers, the warmth of his palm against yours, the simple, uncomplicated act of holding you here with him.
you let the silence stretch, comfortable, familiar. then—
"i don't want the rest of them," damian murmurs, his voice low, meant only for you. "i want you."
and in the quiet hush of the museum, you squeeze his hand in return.

steph is all about fun. if your date doesn’t include something spontaneous, something ridiculous, something that will absolutely make you laugh until you cry=then what’s the point?
she loves arcade nights. not just casual arcade nights - fierce, competitive, ‘we are not leaving until i beat you at skee-ball’ arcade nights.
most of your dates involve food. late-night waffle houses, gas station snack runs, making a complete mess of her kitchen at 3 am because she swears she can make pancakes better than you.
she gets you into trouble on purpose. climbing fences to sneak onto rooftops for a better view, making you run from security after getting caught somewhere you shouldn’t be - it’s all part of the fun.
steph is an absolute menace when it comes to dares. if you say “you won’t do it,” she’s already doing it. and if she gets in trouble? she’s dragging you down with her.
she is outrageously flirty when she wants to be. she’ll wink, bite her lip, lean in like she’s going to kiss you - and then steal your fries instead.
at the end of every date, she looks at you like you’re the best thing that’s ever happened to her. because, in her eyes, you are.
it wasn’t supposed to end like this.
your date had started with waffles and milkshakes at a 24-hour diner. then, a casual late-night stroll through gotham’s quieter streets—until steph spotted a ‘do not enter’ sign on a construction site and immediately decided to ignore it.
which is why, twenty minutes later, the two of you are standing on the unfinished beams of what will eventually be gotham’s newest skyscraper, looking out at the city like you own it.
steph’s grin is wide, wild, her blonde ponytail swaying in the night breeze as she spreads her arms out. "see? best view in gotham. you just have to break a few rules to get it."
you shake your head, but you’re smiling. "one day, this is going to get us arrested."
she smirks, stepping closer, arms looping around your waist. "yeah, but imagine the mugshots. we’d look hot."
before you can respond, the blaring wail of a security alarm cuts through the night.
you both freeze. steph’s head whips toward the source of the noise, then back to you, eyes wide, lips twitching like she’s trying not to laugh.
"we should run, right?"
you don’t have time to answer—because she’s already grabbing your hand and pulling you along with her, laughing breathlessly as the two of you take off across the beams, adrenaline singing in your veins.
and somehow, despite the chaos, despite the fact that this is absolutely a terrible idea—
you wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.

bruce isn’t extravagant just to show off. if he goes all out for a date, it’s not because he wants to impress you - it’s because he genuinely wants to give you something special, something worthy of you.
privacy is everything to him. whether it’s a reserved table at a restaurant, a late-night rooftop dinner at wayne tower, or a weekend getaway to a secluded house outside the city, bruce values moments where it’s just you and him.
he is observant to a fault. if you mention wanting to try a certain food? he makes sure it’s on the menu. if you casually mention a book you love? he gets a first edition. if he knows you’ve been stressed? the entire date is built around giving you relief.
he does not rush time with you. bruce is constantly on a tight schedule, always balancing his responsibilities - but when he’s with you? the world can wait.
he loves jazz lounges, candlelit dinners, slow-dancing in empty rooms. it’s the quiet elegance of old-fashioned romance that makes him feel like a man, not a myth.
he doesn’t say “i love you” often, but when he does, it’s a moment that stays with you. low, quiet, something meant only for you to hear. something true.
at the end of the night, he always walks you to your door. even if you live in the manor. even if he’s coming inside with you. it’s an old habit - one that reminds him that he has something worth coming home to.
the city stretches far below, a blanket of flickering lights and restless motion, but up here, the world is quiet.
bruce sits across from you at an open-air rooftop restaurant, the exclusive kind that no one steps into unless their name carries weight. tonight, yours does.
the table is lit with the glow of a single candle, silverware catching the light, the soft hum of live music drifting through the space. but none of it holds your attention the way he does.
bruce wayne, in an all-black suit, the top button undone, his gaze fixed solely on you.
his hand rests near his glass, fingers curled loosely against the stem, but you know the posture—always controlled, always measured, even when he relaxes.
"you’re quiet tonight," you murmur, studying him over the rim of your glass.
bruce’s lips twitch slightly. not quite a smile, but close. "i’m enjoying myself."
the response is simple, but it holds so much more.
you tilt your head, watching the way the candlelight flickers against the sharp planes of his face. "you know, you didn’t have to go all out like this."
bruce exhales, slow and deliberate, before reaching for your hand across the table. his fingers are warm when they lace through yours, his grip solid, unwavering.
"i don’t do half-measures," he says, voice low, meant only for you. "not with this. not with you."
your chest tightens, warmth unfurling slow and deep. this is how bruce loves. without hesitation, without reservation.
with everything he has.
and as the city hums below, as the night stretches on, he makes sure you know it.
