Hey! Can you do a Tim Drake x M!Reader where the reader is telling Tim about how he wants to get back with his ex and Tim can’t help but feel jealous. And when the reader talks about wanting to message his ex Tim finally had enough and confesses

Btw I love ur work sm!!❤️❤️

Oh yeah, my baby Tim. It's been a while since I wrote for him. Also, I'm glad you like my work.

Summary: Tim is crushing on (Y/N), but (Y/N) wants to get back with his ex.

Warnings: fluff, Tim is so in love with (Y/N), both of them are just cute, misunderstands?

(Y/N) and Tim were friends for a long time. (Y/N) is also one of the rare people outside of the family that knew his secret identity and Tim was allowed to crash at (Y/N)'s place if he was too tired to even go back to the manor or to his place.

Sometimes he would put a few things there, just in case his father wanted to make him rest. Tim has a lot of work, can you blame him? (Y/N) would make him some coffee, but when Tim was overworked he made sure to make Tim rest and eat.

Bruce approved of (Y/N) seeing how he cared about Tim and made sure he rested. Bruce had a problem with making sure that Tim rested since he is one stubborn guy. Alfred was happy that Tim has such a good friend to look after him.

But there was on slight issue on Tim's side. A small one. It's called a crush. Tim was so in love with (Y/N) that it hurt. When his crush started, (Y/N) was with his boyfriend and they were happy and Tim wasn't going to become a homewrecker and a horrible friend that breaks a relationship.

No. To Tim, it would be wrong and (Y/N) is happy so why bother with his feelings? Tim was happy and content as (Y/N) was also happy and content. It was all god for 2 years, until (Y/N)'s boyfriend has cheated.

Tim was mad beyond belief and he wanted to go after him and wanted to ruin him completely, but (Y/N) needed him more and he needed comfort more than revenge. And he didn't want to get revenge on his ex, despite being mad and angry at himself.

Tim assured him that nothing can say that the cheating was excused. You can't blame somebody else for your cheating. It's a choice that people make and luckily for Tim, (Y/N) had standards and refused to beg to get back with his ex.

Tim was happy that (Y/N) chose ignore his ex and that he could and would start healing. And that time, Tim wanted to confess, but he couldn't. It would be not only bad timing, but some sort of pressure too.

After being cheated on, your heart needs a break and it needs to heal. Tim didn't want to hurt his friend even more. So he was there for (Y/N) in every way he could be. Tim would be the one making sure he ate, slept, showered and tried to make sure that he wasn't just sleeping all day.

Everyone needs to get some exercise everyday and it would make your body and mind better and clearer too. Everything was fine to Tim and was happy for it to stay that way. Everything was fine, according to Tim.

But nothing can last forever.

Tim and (Y/N) would be hanging out when everything was starting to boil. And boy, was it going to boil over.

" I want to get back with my ex. "

Those eight words made Tim freeze and then whip his head around to look at (Y/N) in pure disbelief. No. Not now. Please God not now. Not when he was slowly gathering the courage to confess to (Y/N). Not now.

" What? " Tim asked, confused beyond belief, but still shocked none the less. " Why? " Tim asked again confused. Why would (Y/N) get his heart broken again? Why? It's a rule that you don't get back with cheaters.

That is an universal rule that is not meant to be broken. Why is (Y/N) thinking about breaking that rule?

" He texted me, asking me to get back together. I thought about it and told him so and after thinking about it, I wanted to see where it leads. " (Y/N) said and Tim felt like somebody took a knife and stabbed him in the chest, right through the heart. And then twisted.

Harshly.

Tim swallowed quietly as he listened to (Y/N). He adjusted on the couch. His throat felt dry beyond belief and he just wanted to fly out of here. Just through the window. Right now.

" As a friend, I can't allow it. He will cheat on you. If he did once, he will do it again. And your heart will be broken for the second time then! " Tim said, raising his voice slightly. He has never done that with his friend, with his (Y/N) and (Y/N)'s eyes widened in shock.

" Tim- " (Y/N) started, but Tim was fired up.

" No! He hurt you, broke your heart and left you for someone else! And you want to go back to him?! " Tim asked, pacing around (Y/N)'s apartment living room. (Y/N) has never seen this type of behavior from Tim. He was normally chill and relaxed.

Never like this.

" You were so- so- Down after the break up! I had to make sure you were taking care of yourself! Just like you did to me! And to think that disloyal bastard broke your heart! " Tim stopped himself and took a deep breath.

If he doesn't do this now, he will lose (Y/N) forever.

And he can't lose the best thing that has happened to him in a long time. He won't let it happen.

" I can treat you better than he can. I love you more than he could ever love you... I would never ever cheat on you. I would rather slit my wrists. And what I'm trying to say is that I love you. I have loved you for a while now and I can understand if you want to go back to your ex- " Tim paused when (Y/N) got up and walked up to Tim.

Tim expected the biggest heartbreak of his life. He has seen many things in his life as a vigilante, faced many foes and enemies, even death.

And that didn't scare him as this moment right now.

(Y/N) did something that would shock him however. Something that Tim could only dream off.

(Y/N) grabbed him by the collar and kissed him. Tim was shocked at first, but wasted no time wrapping his arms around him, bringing him as close as he possibly could. Tim felt like he has entered heaven and he never wanted to leave.

The two kissed for God knows how long, just wrapped up in one another. But human biology needed some air and the two had to part for air, but still remained close to one another.

" So... " Tim started, slowly trying to regain his ability to speak.

" I like you Tim. I think I was I blind enough to not see it. And when I broke up with my ex, I realized I had feelings for you, but I didn't want this to change between us in case you weren't into me." (Y/N) said, looking away from Tim. " When he texted me, I decided to see your reaction. I know, not a smart idea, but I couldn't be direct. I was scared. " (Y/N) admitted and Tim sighed, amused.

He reached up to touch (Y/N)'s cheek, cupping it. (Y/N) leaned into the touch, grateful that Tim is really reciprocating and that his feelings weren't really one sided.

" Well, I'm glad that you like me back too. Now, can we go bed? I'm tired and you have patrol later. "(Y/N) requested and Tim nodded, picking (Y/N) up as if he was a bride.

(Y/N) laughed as Tim carried him and then plopped him down on the bed before taking his clothes off, leaving his boxers on. (Y/N) changed quickly into his pajamas consisting of Tim's shirt and some comfortable sweatpants.

The two quickly got under the covers and Tim has wrapped him into his arms. He just wanted nothing more than this to last forever.

" Tim? " (Y/N) called out into the darkness.

" Yes? "

" I love you. " (Y/N) whispered and Tim buried his head into the back of (Y/N)'s neck.

" I love you too. "

Camellia japonica

TW: Blood and coughing

“Marinette?”

Tim’s lips parted when he recognized the girl working behind the counter as his assistant. Surprise painted her face in a similar fashion, fingers hovering above the register.

“Mr. Drake—er, Tim! Hey.” She tucked her hair behind her ear.

“What are you doing here?”

“I work part-time on weekends,” Marinette explained, plastering on a smile. “May I take your order?”

Tim leaned forward and lowered his voice. “I heard you were serving a cure for, um, flowers?”

He had found that coffee shop from late night research: a cafe that served drinks for those who had Hanahaki disease. It was hidden away in one of the streets of Gotham, but it was fairly popular too.

Marinette’s eyes widened. “You have—?!”

“Shh, yes I do. The petals started coming out a few days ago.” He’d be dead if the media somehow got hold of the news.

“Right, okay.” Marinette nodded frantically. “The drinks don’t actually cure Hanahaki, but they alleviate the effects for a short period of time. Should I get you the caffeinated one?”

He managed a weak smile. “Yes, please.”

The hot, frothy drink was served to him in no time. Tim coughed and covered his mouth, catching a few petals of delicate gardenia. Small itchy sprouts scratched his lungs at every breath. As he took a sip, he felt the relief spreading in his chest, accompanied by a sweet taste lingering in his mouth. Whatever was in the drink, it worked wonders.

He snuck glances at Marinette every now and then as he drank and worked. It was definitely cruel luck that brought him there.

---

Marinette was worried about Tim. So worried that she fixed up an anti-flower drink for him when she came into work that morning. She made it similar to his favorite coffee, making sure to put it in his favorite mug.

“Is your pay here not enough?” Tim asked when she brought over the drink.

“Sorry, that sounded rude,” he apologized before she could answer. “I was just wondering why you were working there.”

“My salary is more than enough.” She laughed a little. “I introduced the Hanahaki drinks to that cafe, so I drop by every week to help make them.”

He nodded, picking up his mug. “And this one?”

“The same as the one you ordered before.” Her face lit up. “I thought you might want to have some before your meeting later.”

“Thank you.” At the moment he brought the drink to his lips, he started coughing. White petals spilled out of his mouth and fluttered to his desk, followed by a round of yellow tulips after. Marinette rushed to get a cloth and a small broom to clean up the mess.

“If I may ask, sir, who is your . . .?” She questioned nervously while gathering the soft petals in her hands.

Tim wiped the corner of his mouth, immediately downing his hot drink to stop coughing. “That’s a secret. As long as I drink this all the time, I’ll be fine, right?”

She chewed on her lip. “I’m afraid it doesn’t work like that. If you keep drinking, your body will get used to it and it can lose its effects. The only way to get rid of Hanahaki is—well—the normal way.” Either you die or your unrequited love is returned. “I suggest only drinking this only when you absolutely need it.”

Tim paled for a brief second. “I . . . I see. If you don’t mind, can you keep quiet about this?”

“Of course I will!” She breathed out. “Just let me know if you need help, okay?”

“Okay.”

She wished she could help. Tim was admirable, an overall amazing person to be with. Ever since she started working for him, he’d been nothing but kind and considerate.

Whoever it is he likes, I hope they see him for who he is.

---

There was petal inside the folder.

A pink petal.

Tim didn’t cough out pinks. He had pure gardenia petals, yellow tulips, and blue salvias. Not anything pink.

And there was only one person who touched the folder aside from him.

“Marinette,” he called out to the girl, who was about to exit his office. “What’s this?”

She froze all over when he held up the petal, pinching it between two fingers. His voice softened. “Do you have one too?”

Her hand fell from the doorknob. Coughs suddenly rattled from her reddened face and she hunched over, slapping her palm over her mouth to catch pink and red petals. Tim ran over to her to rub her back and offer a glass of water.

“I didn’t want to worry you,” she said hoarsely.

“You should’ve told me.” No wonder she knows the recipes for the Hanahaki drinks. His chest squeezed at the thought of her suffering over a one-sided love. Who does she like? Why don't they like her back?

“I’ll be okay, I promise.” Marinette bent down to gather the stray petals that fell on the floor.

Tim stared at her. If . . . say, she were to fall in love with someone else, would it stop? He mentally shook his head. No, love doesn’t work that way.

“If there’s anything I can do for you, I’ll be right here,” he told her, gaze downcast.

“Thanks, Tim, but mine’s a lost cause.” She clutched the folders tightly against her chest.

“Why do you think so?”

“There’s no reason for him to love me back. And even if he did, it wouldn’t end up nicely for both of us.” Those were her last words before she slipped out of the room.

Tim wanted to tug at his hair. What did she mean there’s no reason? She’s beautiful! Talented! Good-hearted! And why couldn’t they be together?

Head muddled with thoughts, he retreated back to his computer. He had to figure out that recipe.

---

“You’re distracted tonight.” Red Robin bumped his shoulder on Ladybird’s after they both settled on top of a rooftop.

She yawned, side-eyeing him. He picked up on that? “Too much work in my civilian life.”

“I bet I’ve got more work than you do.” He stretched his arms.

More work, huh. She wondered what he did in his civilian life. If they had similar occupations. If he had to wake up early the next day as well, or whether he worked on the field or in a cramped office. She swung her legs aimlessly.

“Are you sure you’re okay?” He asked.

No, I’m not. I don’t know how long I have left to live. I’m getting more blood red petals than pink ones. It’s getting harder to breathe whenever I see you. I’m seeing chrysanthemums and columbines in my nightmares.

“Yeah, I’m okay.”

“I’m not buying it.” Red Robin scooted closer to her. “What’s bothering you?”

A pang shot through her chest, making her breath catch. She turned her head away to hide the tears pricking the corners of her eyes. “I don’t feel like talking about it.” She prayed her voice didn’t waver.

This isn’t good. If I stay here longer, he’s going to find out. Ladybird threw her yoyo and zipped away out of his sight. She made a note to herself to apologize to him during their next patrol together.

She reached a safe spot, detransformed, and collapsed to her knees, hacking out all the flowers blooming in her lungs. Tikki nuzzled her side as piles of petals formed on the ground.

Drip.

A crimson liquid lined the petals that came out of her lips.

---

“What’s this?” Marinette raised her eyebrows at the paper cup Tim placed on her desk.

“I tried making a Hanahaki drink,” he responded sheepishly. “For you.”

She popped the lid open and took a sip. “Mmm, not bad.” She licked her lips. “I’m the assistant, you know. I should be the one making you coffee, Mr. Drake.”

His cheeks turned pink. “It’s the least I can do for you.” He frowned. “Unless . . . The drink doesn’t have an effect on you anymore?”

“It does. Just a little. The petals come back after ten minutes or so.”

“Oh.” He wasn’t helping her much after all.

“It’s okay. I appreciate it.” Marinette beamed.

Tim took a seat in front of her. Hanahaki was a difficult illness (he, of all people, would know) but he refused to accept that there weren’t other ways to make it disappear. “By the way.” He played with his suit jacket. "Have you tried—If . . . if you stopped loving that person, would it make it stop?"

She touched her fingertips to the cup. "I've tried. I tried my best. But it's just not something I can stop."

"But you know what?" His heart did a flip seeing her put on a sad but beautiful smile. "As long as I can stay close to him, I don't mind dying. I've done what I can."

"Have you told him how you feel?" He gulped. "Maybe he'll learn to love you if you're honest with him."

Just like how I learned to love you.

"I don't want to guilt him into it if he finds out. That's not love. It won't work."

"But Marinette . . ." What can he do? "I don't want you to die. You can't die."

"Don't worry. I'll find you a new assistant before I go." She chuckled. An attempt to to lift the mood. But his stoic expression didn't falter.

"That's not the point—"

"I'm fine, Tim, really." Her firm tone indicated finality. "I've made up my mind."

---

"Red Robin, have you heard from Ladybird?" Oracle's voice crackled through the comms.

Red Robin stopped on his tracks. He and Ladybird had split up to take care of two separate locations. She should be nearby. Did she run into trouble? But this is Ladybird we're talking about. She's more than capable in defending herself.

But his gut was telling him that something was wrong.

"I'll go check on her," he said, changing his route.

He kept his comms open when he reached the warehouse. It was quiet inside, with no sign of Ladybird anywhere.

"LB, if you can hear me, I'm coming to you," he whispered into his earpiece.

"No, don't come here!" Her voice echoed against the walls. He immediately examined the surroundings for any traps, but there wasn't anything suspicious.

"Just—just go and leave!" Ladybird yelled out again. "I'm fine!"

He took another step forward and heard a cough from her.

"Lady—"

She coughed a few more times, wheezing and gasping for air. "Go! I'm about to detransform! Don't you dare come here!"

He didn't listen. Those coughs sounded familiar, and he couldn't leave her alone in a vulnerable state. He ran, rounding a corner to see Ladybird slumped on the floor, clutching her chest tightly. A layer of crimson and pink petals surrounded her figure. Her earrings beeped loudly.

He stiffened when he saw the blood.

"I told you not to come," she whimpered.

He rushed to her side. Where had he seen those flowers before? Her hair was matted against her sweaty skin, and she was deathly pale. He let her lean against him. A million thoughts flitted in and out his head.

Red Robin opened his mouth to speak but she fell into unconsciousness. Her Miraculous beeped its last and her transformation wore off. He didn't get to close his eyes. He couldn't.

"Marinette," he whispered.

He couldn't focus. His heartbeat thumped against his ribcage as he picked her up in his arms. I have to get her home. Which home? My apartment? Which safe house is nearer? He could faintly hear a tiny creature speaking to him but he couldn't register anything else. Have to get her home. Have to get her to rest.

---

Marinette slowly cracked one eye open. She wasn't in her apartment; she could feel a cushion that wasn't her bed. She tried to move her body, but it wouldn't budge.

"Marinette," a voice said. "Thank god, you're awake."

She groaned. Marinette. Red Robin said 'Marinette'. Her eyes flew open as she gasped and sat up. I detransformed in front of him!

"It's okay, you're okay now." Red Robin soothed. "I brought us to my apartment. Here, drink this."

Her head was still spinning. Wordlessly, she took the drink from him, smelling the familiar flavor of coffee and anti-Hanahaki ingredients. "How do you . . ." she croaked out. "How do you know my name?"

He visibly deflated, seemingly hesitant to give her an answer.

Wait.

She touched her lips.

"It's gone." Marinette rubbed her chest.

"What's gone?"

She tried to breathe. In. Out. In. Out. Nothing obstructed her lungs. "The flowers," she said softly. "They're gone."

"What do you mean? What happened?"

"I don't know. I'm not coughing anymore." Have I stopped loving him? Or . . . She stared at him. Does he . . .? "Did you fall in love with me?"

"It was me?!"

"Of course it's—" She shook her head. "Wait, I don't understand. You've never shown interest in me before. Why now? What changed?"

A shaky, weary laugh escaped him. He tugged on his cowl and then his mask underneath, revealing Tim Drake. As shock passed over her, he tackled her into a hug, burying his face in her hair.

"I was worried," he murmured. "I was so worried."

"What . . .?"

"Mine's gone too," he said. "Now that you know."

Their identities. We fell in love with each other's alter egos and that's what set off the petals?!

She rested her hand on his cheek, rubbing his skin with her thumb and looking into his eyes. For so long. I thought I'd be gone because I carelessly fell in love with him.

"I'm so sorry, I should've told you sooner." He kissed her palm. "I love you so much, Marinette."

In turn, she pressed her lips on the edge of his jaw, closing her eyes. "I love you too."

Dark Matter by mysterycyclone

Summary:

The last thing Peter sees is Tony's horrified, heartbroken expression leaning over him. The guilt in his eyes is almost worse than the burning pain that's taking Peter apart piece by piece. The world starts to go dark. There's a flash of gold and green. For one moment, he finds himself standing amongst the Guardians and others. And then darkness again. It feels like blinking; an extended period of nothingness that ends as abruptly as it begins. One moment there’s nothing, the next there’s light. “Easy,” a woman says. Her words are gentle, and carry a slight accent that he can’t place. "I'm called Wonder Woman. What's your name?"

Relationships: Peter Parker & Tony Stark, Peter Parker & Avengers Team, Clark Kent & Peter Parker, Diana (Wonder Woman) & Peter Parker, Peter Parker & Bruce Wayne, Dick Grayson & Peter Parker, Gotham City & Peter Parker, Tim Drake & Peter Parker, Batman & Spiderman

Characters: Peter Parker, Bruce Wayne, Jason Todd, Dick Grayson, Duke Thomas, Tim Drake

Additional Tags: Not Avengers: Endgame (Movie) Compliant, Post-Avengers: Infinity War Part 1 (Movie), Soul Stone (Marvel), wherein Peter accidentally steals the soul stone, with several interesting consequences to follow, homeless peter parker, peter parker whump, dimension travel, crossovers & fandom fusions, angst and humor, BAMF peter parker, found family

Notes: Okay, I'm definitely not the first person who is obsessed with this fic, but I kid you not chapters 41 & 42 are some of my favorite fighting scenes ever written. Fair warning, the story is not complete, but I still highly recommend it.

(This is part of my year of recs. I'm trying to share some of my favorite stories on tumblr. I've set up a series of Soulmate recs for each month on the 15th, but these will be randomly dispersed throughout the year.)

Alfred’s Call

summary: It wasn’t everyday that Alfred called you, but finding out that Tim hasn’t been sleeping well because of nightmares? It seems like cuddles are the perfect remedy for that little issue.

word count: 2570~

warnings: mentions of nightmares and a small panic attack?

So, I downloaded Mystic Messenger.... Let me tell you, if I get a bad/yandere ending I am going to be PISSED, I really just wanna see Jumin’s sensitive, side, is that too much to ask?

Also, testing is annoying, I have to test on Tuesday and Thursday but ! I have a three day weekend coming up :)

It took you a couple seconds to figure out that it was your phone ringing beside you that was waking you up so abruptly. You squinted in the dark, trying to feel around for the offensive object. The bright screen made your head spin so you quickly answered the phone call, not even looking at the caller ID.

“Hello?” you sleepily mumbled.

“I do apologize for waking you up so early, but, it’s about Master Tim.” The name of your boyfriend immediately woke you up, sitting up in your bed you looked at the ID that displayed ‘Alfred’.

You brought the phone back up to your ear.

“Is he okay? Did something happen?” you quickly asked, it wouldn’t be the first time someone called you at two in the morning about Tim. He had a habit of disappearing into the night and then coming back with a stab wound or two so of course your anxiety shot up with each early morning phone call. Perhaps he had gotten kidnapped? What would you do then? It has been awhile since the last kidnappin—

You were brought out of your downward spiral with Alfred’s words: “Master Tim is perfectly fine. I called because I heard you have a knack for helping him fall asleep?”

“I guess I do.” You let out an airy laugh, relief flooding your veins. “When was the last time he slept?”

“I believe he is on his eleventh cup of coffee and must’ve forgotten that Red Bull is not an appropriate creamer.”

You sighed but couldn’t quite wipe the relieved smile off your face. Putting Tim to sleep is easy, bullet wounds and fear gas are not. You can handle a tired Tim. “Thank you for calling me Alfred, I’ll be over as soon as I can.”

“I look forward to it.” The call ended, your screen turning black and drowning you in the darkness of your room. You couldn’t help the tiredness that weighed you down as you got into comfortable clothes and began your drive to the Wayne Manor.

~~~~

You quietly padded up to the Manor door and pulled out your spare key to the place. Instead of a normal one-year anniversary gift like chocolates or a fancy dinner reservation, Tim shyly handed you a key to the Manor, saying how much he trusted you along with a cute monologue about what you having the key meant to him. It definitely came in handy in moments like this where you didn’t want to pester Alfred or any of his siblings with answering the door for you.

After unlocking the door, you carefully slid into the Manor, closing the door behind you with a soft click. Considering the late hour, Tim could either be in his room or in the bat cave, but you had a feeling you could find him hunched over his laptop with a bunch of scattered papers on his desk.

Your—now shoeless—feet created little pitter-patters against the tile floor, basically broadcasting your journey to Tim’s room with how loud they seemed in comparison to the dead silent home.

“Tim?” you whispered as you knocked softly on his bedroom door, only to be met with no reply.

You calmly let yourself in, completely shocked at the state of his room: stacks of stapled case files littered the carpeted floor along with crumpled up balls of lined papers, sticky notes stuck to his desktop and laptop screen, empty water bottles were crushed and discarded into the corner of the room, at least there was a neat line of empty mugs on his desk. But at the center of it all, sitting in the center of his king sized bed, was your boyfriend: Tim Drake.

His black mop of hair had been pulled back into a top knot but there were countless strands of hair still hanging in front of his eyes. Unsurprisingly, he had managed to get a sticky note on the side of his head. He seemed unfazed by your entry, still looking between his laptop screen and the stack of papers in his hands.

“Tim?”

He only hummed in questioning, turning the page and continued reading, not even looking up at you. You collected all your patience and carefully walked to his bed, making sure that you didn’t step directly on any of his—carefully placed—documents. You felt a little guilty when you had to move a bunch of the mess off of his bed so you could sit down next to him, but if Tim minded, he definitely didn’t show it.

You sat criss-crossed beside him, facing his side, giving him a second to even notice your presence before gently placing your hand on top of his knee. The touch brought Tim’s attention to you finally. He set down the papers and looked up at you, you couldn’t hide the wince that formed in the back of your throat once you saw his dark circles.

“Oh hey, don’t you have something going on today?”

You rubbed his knee as you answered his question. “I do, but Alfred called me and said you haven’t been sleeping well recently. So I came to check up on you.”

Tim mouthed a tiny ‘oh’ before looking back down at his laptop, blinking blearily at the blue light. He shrugged. “I’ve just been busy with a new lead for a case I put down a few weeks ago, that’s all.”

You nodded, not entirely convinced. “The case will still be right here in the morning, you need to sleep okay?” You gently pulled the stray sticky note out of his hair as you spoke to him ever so softly, not wanting to disturb the peaceful aura of the manor.

“I know, I just…” Tim sighed, he couldn’t help but feel a little colder now that your hand had left his knee. You gave Tim enough time to continue his sentence but instead he just sat and stared at his computer, at a loss for any sort of explanation for his behavior. You sensed his inner turmoil so you spoke up.

“Can you look at me, baby?” Tim easily complied, his eyes meeting yours. You gently cupped his face, your thumbs rubbing tiny gentle circles into his skin as Tim leaned into the touch, his eyes fluttering closed. “I don’t think the case is the only reason you’ve been staying up for so long.” A small reassuring smile graced your lips when Tim looked up at you through his eyelashes.

Before you could react, Tim turned completely and plopped his head on your shoulder, leaving your hands empty and floating in the air. You were quick to hold him, your arms wrapping around his back and eventually one of your hands dove into his messy locks, carefully pulling out the hair tie from his hair and scratching at the scalp underneath. Slowly Tim melted against you, comfortable enough to speak to you freely without concern.

“You’re right,” he breathed out in a whisper, making you strain your ears to hear him. “I—,” Tim breathed for a moment, “I’ve been using the lead as a distraction.”

You hummed, offering a chaste kiss against his head as a reassurance for him to keep going, that you were listening.

A moment passed before Tim shook his head, burrowing himself further into your shoulder, “Can we … Maybe, talk about this later?”

Your hands stopped for a moment, worry seeping into your chest. “Of course we can, how about we get some sleep instead?” Tim nodded and pulled away from you, his eyes downcast before looking at the state of his bed.

“Sorry about the mess, I can clean it up really fast.” He slipped off of the bed as a means to start cleaning but you quickly stopped him by leaning forward and grabbing his hand.

“We can clean this up after you’ve had a full night's rest. Let’s just go to the library.”

The fact that Tim offered no resistance to your offer showed you just how tired he was. He pliantly walked behind you all the way until you reached the library, standing awkwardly beside you as you began to unfold the fluffy white blanket that always laid on top of the couch. You handed Tim the unfolded blanket so you could easily lay down on the couch, opening your arms in a silent invitation.

A small fraction of a smile ghosted Tims lips, finding absolute comfort in the fact that you would do something like this for him. He wrapped the blanket around his shoulders and settled in between your legs, his head right above your sternum and his arms resting on either side of you.

You grabbed the edge of the blanket and made sure it covered both of Tim’s shoulders, lightly tucking him in before wrapping your arms around his back.

“I’ll be right here for you when you wake up, okay?” Tim nodded, yawning out a tired ‘thank you’ before sighing happily when you kissed his forehead as a pseudo goodnight.

A few delicate moments passed before Tim’s breathing evened out enough that you could tell he was sleeping. As for you, you stared at the ceiling for a bit, the tiredness you felt just an hour earlier was long forgotten. You happened to notice a figure coming from down the hallway, stopping at the doorway of the library.

You gave Alfred a soft smile that he returned easily. He swiftly turned out the light and padded back down the hallway, leaving you and Tim alone in a dark but cozy library

You ended up resting your eyes a bit, passing the time by tracing small designs into Tim’s upper back. A small hitch in his breathing made you squint open your eyes to look down at him, his eyebrows furrowed softly but quickly relaxed a second later. You shrugged it off and went back to your earlier mannerism of gazing at the ceiling and rubbing Tim’s back.

It wasn’t until Tim’s grip on you tightened that you genuinely started to grow worried, his hands fisted into your shirt, his breaths coming out in small pants accompanied by tiny whimpers in the back of his throat.

A nightmare, your brain supplied. This must’ve been why he hasn’t been sleeping well, too worried about having to live his worst fears without any sort of comfort. You quickly sprung into action by applying more pressure into your touch, switching from rubbing to shaking his shoulders.

“Tim, you need to wake up. You’re having a nightmare.”

A choked off sob escaped his lips and it felt like a shot through your heart. “Tim.” You spoke harshly, no longer fretting about staying quiet, hoping to finally wake him up by the noise.

Tim’s eyes shot open with a gasp, his breathing still coming out in short bursts, his hold on you tightening even further as he rested his forehead against your chest trying to compose himself, proving unsuccessful at the way his shoulders shook with each broken inhale.

Straight away you began to murmur reassurances to him. “You’re okay, I’m right here, it was just a nightmare.” You began to gently card your fingers through his hair, knowing full well that it would help calm him down a lot quicker.

You could physically hear the breaks in his breaths and the way his breathing wavered, feeling the shakiness in his chest.

“I need you to breathe for me okay, baby?” you spoke into his hair. “Follow my breaths.”

His eyes were hidden from you but as you exaggerated your breathing, you could feel him follow suit. You kept up the comfort words, softly praising him when his breaths eventually slowed down to match yours easily.

Even with his demeanor calming down, his grip on you was still just as tight, afraid you would disappear if he didn’t make sure you stayed right in his grasp. “Are you okay?” you cooed, rubbing firm circles into the nape of Tim’s neck to ground him.

He nodded, “Sorry.” His voice was tiny and unsure but you only reassured him some more.

“Don’t be sorry, I’m here for you and if that means calming you down after a nightmare I will gladly do it.”

Tim still didn’t meet your eyes but he turned his head to look at the back of the couch no longer hiding into your hold, slow progress you mused.

“They’re always about you,” Tim softly spoke, his sudden bold explanation left you stunned. You always knew Tim had a huge fear of losing the people he loves, hell, it was probably his worst fear; And of course you knew he loved you so very much but, you never took the time to connect the dots this way. The idea of Tim having nightmares of losing you just made your heart ache, even so, him losing sleep over the thought? You couldn’t help but hold him just a little bit tighter.

“I’m never good enough to save you, never fast enough, never … smart enough,” he trailed off before beginning again in a low, almost inaudible whisper. “I always lose you.”

You slowly slid your hand down to rest on his exposed cheek, guiding his face towards yours so you could look him in the eyes. Watery blue hues met yours as you delicately smoothed his bangs out of the way so you could plant a warm, loving kiss on his forehead.

“You’ll always be good enough for me. You’re the smartest person I’ve ever met and I trust you with my whole life, Tim. You’ve always been able to save me in the past, so you won’t lose me, ever, I won’t let anyone take me away from you, understand?”

“What if next time I won’t be able to? What if—What if I make a fatal mistake that costs you your life? I mean, it could happen any day and I can’t get that idea out of my head, Y/N.” His eyes bore into yours intensely, you gave him a small smile.

“I trust you, I really do. I trust you to make the right choices. I think you’ll always be enough to save me. And if you aren’t? That’s why you have partners: Dick, Jason, Damian, Duke, even the girls are here for you, Steph, Cass, Barbara, as well as your other team mates. You aren’t alone to shoulder this burden Tim, you have a family who will be there for you to make sure nothing happens, so please, trust yourself as much as I trust you.”

Tim turned his head to kiss the palm of your hand, taking your words to heart. “Unbelievable, you always know the right things to say.” He looked up at you once more, this time with a smile on his face.

You hummed. “Are you feeling okay enough to go back to sleep? I’ll still be here in the morning.”

“You won’t leave?”

“Of course not, I’m staying right here.”

Tim smiled happily and contently snuggled back into your hold. “Thank you Y/N, for everything.”

You kissed the top of his head and pulled the blanket back over his shoulders, tucking him in once more. “Of course.”

The rest of the night was peaceful and without any trace of a nightmare, Tim finally felt safe in your arms, your words were a comfort that easily chased away his fears.
