Part of his duties at Wayne Manor was the keeping track of dates. Master Timothy's birthday therefore did not go unnoticed. He had left a small message on the BBS and kept it quite simple. Something simple to suit the lad's tastes. He was taking  a two layer chocolate cake out of the oven and now all he had to do was apply frosting and everything

Did something happen?

[This is him totally missing the point on this one.]

[BBS]

[bat_cookies]

Yes, you should come as soon as you're able.

I'll be right there, then.

[True to his word, he's there in about fifteen minutes, once he's finished his work on the computer, and finished wiping down everything that let anyone know he was on the computer in the first place; fingerprints and files.

Opening the door to the kitchen, he peeked inside.]

Alfred?

[action] Official birthday thread?

[bat_cookies]

"Right here, lad." He had just finished putting the chocolate frosting, "Happy Birthday, Master Tim."

[action] Yes!

[theshortestbird]

[Tim blinked, looking at the cake in surprise. His birthday? He'd completely forgotten.]

You remembered my birthday?

THREADJACK OF THE DICK VARIRETYYYY

[notasidedick]

[Ninja hug time! Guess who totally just snaked his arms around your waist like a sneaky big brother and clinging to you from behind. Please don't punch him by the way.

He's resting his head on your shoulder.] You forgot your own birthday? Why am I not surprised?

[Jason's grabbed a bowl of cookies and is currently devouring them. It was the only way to make sure he wouldn't tackle the delicious-looking cake.]

How fucking cute. I'm gonna cry. [He mutters between cookie and cookie being engulfed.]

Lol at both of you

[bat_cookies]

"Yes, I wouldn't forget. If I'm remembering correctly the next one up is Master Jason's." For the moment he ignores the impulse to chide the Red Hood on his language. The old man smiles to see them all gathered around like this. If there was only Bruce, Cassandra, Barbara, and Stephanie, (he knew Damian would come sooner or later) it would be the whole family.

[theshortestbird]

[He's not going to punch Dick, though he won't deny that he was startled; startled by the whole thing, really. He glanced over at Jason and then back at Alfred with a small smile. Hell, even Pinkie Pie gets a smile.]

I don't really keep track of it. [Shrugs slightly.] I should have remembered that Alfred would remember, though.

[notasidedick]

[He's not letting go until you tell him to either. Just gonna stand there hugging you. He does roll his eyes at Jason though.]

That's counterproductive, if you remembered Alfred remembering, then you'd just remember it for yourself or something.

[theshortestbird]

[Well maybe he doesn't really want to be let go right now. Though maybe in a little bit, once it gets too close to awkward territory and Tim just can't have that.]

No, I mean, I should have remembered that Alfred remembers everything. Not specifically about my birthday.

[Glances back.]

[worthyheir]

[Will just be here, in the corner. With his arms crossed. Happy Birthday, Drake. He hasn't punched you in the face yet.]

[batmansphoenix]

[Jason hasn't punched his face either, it can be a team gift.]

Yeah yeah happy birthday baby bird. Can birthday boy here blow the candles already? I want a piece of that cake.

[bat_cookies]

Alfred had just finished lighting the last of the candles.

"Whenever you're read, Master Timothy."

[theshortestbird]

[You know, this would have been a good birthday if-- well, no, it's a pretty good birthday, regardless. Even if some family members are disliked, it's still family.]

Thank you. [Leans over and blows out the candles. He might have even made a wish somewhere in there.]

Because Alfred said she could come!

[laughafterme]

[POPS OUT FROM BEHIND ALFRED!]

Oh, it's your birthday?! Happy birthday~! [Gasps and covers her mouth.] Oh no! I don't have a gift for you! [Looks through her pockets frantically.] I have some candy and balloons with me.
