    Summary

    It's important to Kon that everybody knows he had been joking, okay? It was a funny haha joke. Now if only his brain could get on the same page.

    ***
    “You’re all being ridiculous.” He says, spinning around on his stool. “Nobody’s doing that.”

    “You don’t think people have imagined you when they’re jerking it?” Kon flings his arm around Tim’s shoulder and shovels a spoonful of cereal into his mouth.

    “No, I don’t.” It’s simple, concise, and followed quickly by an elbow jamming into Kon’s ribs. He ignores it.

    “Then I’ve got you, dude, my next one goes out to you.”

    Summary

    "Wordlessly, and slowly, Bruce takes one breath after another, composing himself. He hands Jason the slightly crumpled sheet of paper. Jason reads it quickly. Quicker than Bruce, but he reads it again and again and again. Finally snapping with panicked urgency, 'What the fuck is this?'

    Bruce, completely devoid of any inflection, forces himself to simply state the facts in front of him. 'That is Red Robin’s two week notice.'"

    Or

    Tim really thought leaving would be a lot easier. Both figuratively and literally.
