Tim jokingly sends Bernard:
Tumblr media
Basically every night, but one night, he forgets to, and at first Bernard doesn't think much of it, but he still texts Tim anyway because they always talk before bed and say goodnight to one another, but cause Tim silenced his phone during patrol, he doesn't answer so Bernard slowly starts freaking out. After a few hours of spiraling and no replys from Tim, he goes to the manor and sneaks in cause it's past Tim's 'allowed to have people over curfew' and when Tim isn't there (cause Tim is patrolling as Red Robin, hence the curfew), Bernard goes into full panic mode, and he finds Red Robin on the street and Tim, obviously worried about Bernard, asks what is wrong and Tim doesn't know whether to laugh at how funny the situation is (and how paranoid his boyfriend is) or cry over how much Bernard cares for him, and so Tim is like "of course I'll help you, let's not get dramatic, I am sure he is not dead, oh, I'm sure he's okay, probably even closer than you think" and now he can't take out his phone cause Bernard will recognize it, and they won't actually find Tim cause Red Robin is Tim, and so they just go on an adventure all night and by the end of the night, Tim finally tells Bernard, and Bernard doesn't know whether to break up with him because he saw Bernard going through panic attacks and freaking out and he still didn't say anything, or if he should hug him and tell him how he's so glad he's okay, or if he should bombard him with questions about superheros, supervillains, and the like. He settles for a hug, a free pass for something major, and a discussion on a rooftop over 24 hour minimart coffee (that tim had to pay for).
#tim: so you broke into my house without being caught#tim: my house that is protected heavily as we are both super rich and heroes so we have it everything from security alarmed to boobytrapped#bernard: oh it wasnt too hard; i know your family is targeted a lot and i also know if you were taken there would be traps to trip me up#so once you anticipate for it it is a breeze to get it#Tim: i think you will have to show me one night when i actually am home; you know obviously for safety reasons so we know weak spots#when alfred and bruce go to wake up tim one morning and find him cuddling with bernard they do a full interrogation#and when they find out how easy Bernard bypassed everything without help they have him test the new traps and security systems every time#and if he can get through it without trouble then his reward is he gets to sleep over (but the door has to remain open and they will get#checked on by Alfred throughout the night)#but Bernard gets through without trouble every time and they even think its Tim giving him insider information but they find out it is#just because Bernard 'conspiracy theorist' Dowd is prepared for everything#and so they literally get to spend every two weeks watching movies and hanging out all night just cause no security can stop Bernard#bruce had to move it to only weekends so Tim wouldnt be staying up all night on school nights watching movies with Bernard#he usually doesnt even see Bernard bypass security he just walks in 5 minutes later to find Bernard and Tim sitting on the couch together#tim drake#bernard dowd#timbern#timber
