No, I'm not talking about the bird. It was the name used by Batman's sidekick, in my universe. Does the name Dick Grayson mean anything to you?
[He considers that] If I had to put a label on my sexuality - which I'm reluctant to - but I would probably say I'm demisexual. So it's understandable that your Tim is asexual. [still kinda awkward] Sorry. I figured telling you was better than... not.
Casualty... Oh, Dick. [Tim's going to need a second. He takes a few steadying breaths before continuing] In my world, his parents died and he was adopted by Bruce. He became Robin. After Dick left, you were Robin and in most universes, I'm the third.
[He nods] You're welcome. Sorry that it makes you uncomfortable.
yeah, probably a good thing. Tim would be furious if I got myself killed. [pauses] And then have me resurrected. Somehow. That what happens in those other worlds?
[relieved sigh] oh thank god. I'm already combating the urge to drag you home and feed you. I don't need to add 'desire to protect from boyfriend' to the list.
[Jay really should be upset about that, but he's got blind-spots when it comes to Tim. Even other Tims, apparently] I see your murder, and raise you an execution by electric chair. [grins broadly] I am very proud of that trial.
woke up, in the grave.[he shudders] Please tell me it was before the dirt settled.
In my case, my Tim apparently believes he can run on tea and air. with no sleep. and no sunlight. You might not need protecting, but... [shakes his head]
[Tim smiles a little] You had him convicted. I'm glad, I'm so glad that he can't hurt anyone else.
The dirt had settled. [Tim rubs at his fingertips, thinking of the scars that are on Jason's hands] He had to... dig his way out...
I prefer coffee, vitamin supplements and energy bars. And I go for runs in the mornings, so I get some sunlight, if the smog in Gotham isn't too bad. My sleeping patterns are probably as bad as your Tim's.
sorry. [Jay flushes slightly] You're setting off my older brother instincts. I didn't think you'd appreciate me hugging you.
[sighs, looks away] Yeah, I hear you. My Tim has issues. About what, I've got no fucking clue- I'm not even remotely qualified to help, but there's no one else.
...Tim's got an eating disorder. He's paranoid about being poisoned again, so he won't eat anything that I haven't prepared, hasn't been massed produced and hermetically sealed, or he's made himself. If someone else so much as touches his food, he won't eat. Wish I had your luck there.
Oh. You can hug me, if you want. I promise I won't freak out.
While I haven't had the exact same experiences as your Tim, I may still be able to offer some insight about his... issues. If you think it would help...?
[Tim nods] I can understand his logic, though I imagine it must be difficult for you both. I've never been poisoned, so I don't have the same paranoia.
Thank you. [Jay wraps his arms around Tim, and leans, holding him for a few moments, before pulling away. He knows his Tim's issues with touch, and doesn't want to upset this Tim if he has the same.]
[Tim doesn't completely relax, but he does hug back, resting his cheek against Jason's chest. When Jason pulls away, Tim steps back and neatens up his suit, just to give him something to do]
Can I ask... Did something happen to him? And are my parents still alive in your universe?

And someone actually agreed to work that maniac? What sort blackmail does the bat have on the poor bastard?
[Jay grimaces] Better than seeing it action, I suppose. Warning's appreciated.

At least we managed to avoid that fate, hey? [he gives a very weak smile. Batman terrifies him.]
[Jay shakes his head] Not your problem I'm squicked. Just don't show me pictures, okay?
Reply
It means you were never killed. [pauses; then realizes he should explain] In most worlds, Jason was killed as Robin, and resurrected later.
I don't have pictures, so you're safe from being shown any.

[He huffs out a laugh and raises an eyebrow] What is it with you Jasons and trying to feed me? And I don't need protecting from anyone.

Fuck. [Jay looks nauseous, picturing the damage that would do to a person] That's...there's no words for how awful that is. Fuck. You got him help?
I suppose I should be grateful for the vitamin supplements. Though you're still making me want to cook for you. And your Jason now.

I... I do what I can. I didn't even-- I had to figure out most of what happened myself. I didn't even realize he was having nightmares until recently.
Jason has decent eating habits, I make sure he's healthy. I just really dislike eating.
