    Summary

    “Are your parents not home?” Bruce looks at him evenly, not giving away what he is thinking. “The house was dark all week.”

    “Yeah. They’re travelling for work,” Tim says, trying to save himself. He is not sure what Bruce would do with the truth, but his job is to be unobtrusive, not to be a problem.

    “But they’re taking me out for dinner this weekend to make up for it.”

    That has been one of his dearest fantasies as a child. That his parents would come back early from one of their trips and take him to eat whichever inadvisable food he was obsessing over at the time that was not allowed in the house.
    It is an excuse that usually works well with adults. They only ever ask once, anyway, not interested in stirring up trouble.

    Bruce, of course, is not like other adults and keeps asking. Tim never stood a chance.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    And Bruce will not ask. The surest way to get him to back off is to overshare, to even just hint at Tim having a life beyond training and going on patrol. It is like Bruce is allergic to acknowledging Tim is an actual human being and does not blink in and out of existence depending on whether he is currently needed or not.

    Summary

    Dad watches him in the morning, critical, assessing. “Stayed up, did you?”

    At least Dad didn’t hear him sneak back in. “Yeah,” Tim says. “You know how it is.”

    Dad frowns. “You’re a growing boy. You should be sleeping early.”

    Tim swallows. “Sometimes I can’t help it,” he says, instead, and something flickers in Dad’s eyes. Tim shoves his guilt to the back of his mind. Dad doesn’t know - Dad doesn’t need to know. It would just make everything more complicated.

    Tim is being stalked by Sebastian Ives. Unfortunately, this is the least of his problems: his Dad is finally awake from his coma and is getting suspicious; and, worse, there’s a killer running around in Gotham, targeting kids and rich heirs to fortunes - and Tim is beginning to worry he - or Bruce - might be next.
