it’s been a while since i drew “dear jason” dick and i miss him

How would you describe Dick and Bruce’s relationship in your canon?

it’s 2am and ur POV is sitting in your car parked in a burger king parking lot trying to out-eat the oncoming hangover. you look to your left at the nightclub across the street as a middle aged father hauls his 18 year old daughter out. she’s a drunken mess, cursing at him while throwing a sloppy punch and trying to keep her boob from falling out of her shirt. he’s yelling at her. she starts screaming so much she throws up on her dad and now he’s patting her back and holding the hair out her face. she starts to cry, he starts to cry. now they’re both bawling and hugging in the middle of the street. the bouncer awkwardly looks away. you look down at your half-eaten burger and wonder if you should call your mom

The one where the team realizes Robin is in fact a real boy

For some reason, the other members of the young justice team never seem to realize that Robin actually has a life outside the vigilante gig. He mostly only ever talks about training in the batcave, new gadgets he’s working on, complaining about Gotham rogues. They sort of forget that there’s a real kid behind the mask.

So it’s kind of like a bucket of water being dumped over their heads when they witness him actually acting like a normal kid.

“You have a test tomorrow,” they hear Batman say, followed immediately by a groan from Robin. “It’s time to go home.”

“Ten more minutes!”

“Not ten more minutes,” Batman says. “Now. Dinner, study, then bed.”

“Can’t I just skip tomorrow?”

“Absolutely not. School is important.”

“Says the drop out.”

“That’s not the same and you know it!” Batman says quickly. “Keep stalling, and your PlayStation gets locked up all weekend.”

“Fine,” Robin whines, stomping towards the zeta tubes.

And the entire Mount Justice is quiet after they leave, the team not quite sure what they just saw.

“Wait,” Wally stutters, his fingers pointing between where Robin and Batman just were and the zeta tubes they disappeared into. “Does that mean - Robin goes to school?”

“I assumed he was like, homeschooled. Or, like,” Artemis stumbles over the words, not quite sure how to explain her thoughts.

“I thought he was a ninja or something,” Conner says.

Kaldur just sort of shakes his head at all of them. He’s apparently the only one who didn’t think their youngest team member was some sort of robot or cryptid. Maybe because the first time he met Robin, he’d been whining to Batman about how his weeknight crime fighting curfew should be extended to 3am, and Batman actually laughed and told him “nice try, but no way.”

Being single is fine until it hits you at 1am and you just wanna talk to someone.
