Jason: that's two words

Damian: I hate you.

Dick: IT'S A BOY

Damian: What if it is?

Tim: you probably didn't know that but i don't like the idea of you flirting with boys

Jason: you literally date a dude

Tim: yeah because one of my roles in the family is being the bisexual one

Damian: That's literally not true.

Damian: Since you all know that I'm also part of the community.

Dick: This is so cute dami!!!!!!!!

Jason: you know i still have my gun charged

Tim: i'm proud of you jason

Jason: thanks

Dick: Not even me?

Damian: What part of /any of you/ do you not understand?

Jason: DAMN

Tim: i'm telling you lgbtq people are ruthless

Dick: :(

Damian: Don't be sad, Dick.

Damian: No one knows.

Dick: I get it baby bat

Dick: Just joking

Damian: Okay, then.

Damian: So, what do I do?

Damian: I assumed flirting is a common step before possibly inviting someone to a date.

Jason: well kinda

Jason: it depends honestly

Jason: some people just don't necessarily flirt because they already know each other for some time and all that shit

Jason: so it doesn't matter i guess? just invite him right away

Dick: You're an ogre

Dick: Flirting is good damian

Dick: Writing that made my eyes sting

Dick: I think I'm going to cry

Tim: calm down princess

Tim: you're all a bunch of idiots

Tim: that's why you're single

Jason: ?

Dick: ?

Damian: Wow, Timothy.

Tim: after like. flirting.

Tim: not necessarily flirting but yknow

Tim: just flirting a bit

Tim: but not /like/ you're flirting

Tim: just

Jason: STOP

Jason: ARE YOU DUMB OR WHAT

Jason: WHY ARE YOU WRITING LIKE THAT

Damian: That wasn't helpful, Drake.

Tim: NO BUT DICK KNOWS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT

Dick: ? Do I?

Tim: OF COURSE?

Tim: like when we're at a gala and people are all over you and you smile and talk to them

Dick: Isn't that just

Dick: Talking?

Jason: it's a different kind of talking tho

Jason: cmon dickhead you know it

Dick: But I never flirt at galas

Damian: You do.

Damian: It's the worst sight one could ever witness.

Dick: NO I DON'T?????

Tim: HOW ARE YOU THAT DENSE

Dick: I'VE NEVER NOTICED THAT BEFORE

Damian: Stephanie is online.

Tim: i'll kill you

Tim: i'll kill you and then i'll hack your phone and make you go out with your boycrush

Damian: It is Friday.

Tim: well oops!

Dick: OKAY BUT

Dick: Damian

Dick: Tell us about him

Dick: Where did you two meet how old is he what does he like

Jason: a name and an address would be more efficient

Dick: We'll get there I promise 

Damian: I can't tell where we met, but he is a year younger and he likes sports and video games.

Damian: He also likes pets but he has none. 

Damian: His favorite color is blue and he pretends he doesn't like green just to annoy me.

Damian: He wears glasses but hates them.

Damian: He likes my drawings.

Dick: Stop using correct grammar this is disturbing

Jason: is he part of the bourgeoisie?

Tim: are you asking if he's rich

Damian: The exclamation points are purely subjective.

Tim: did i ask

Dick: Don't be rude!

Damian: Yes, Timothy, don't be rude.

Damian: Should I ask him out, then?

Tim: it depends

Tim: do you want to date him or just kiss him

Dick: ?

Jason: really how many question marks have you sent during this entire conversation

Dick: Not enough

Jason: i see

Damian: I believe I would really like to date him.

Dick: Well dating doesn't have to involve kissing

Damian: I would kiss him too if I had the chance.

Dick: Why.

Tim: dick you do know that sometimes sixteen year old people kiss right

Dick: But he's a CHILD

Jason: weren't you like fifteen when you kissed for the first time

Dick: This is not about me

Damian: I have kissed before, Richard.

Jason: ask jon out

Damian: ?

Jason: send him alone and i'll talk to him

Dick: AND I'LL BE THERE

Damian: You are /not/ shovel talking him.

Damian: I am just out of ideas.

Damian: He lives far away so it's hard for me to see him frequently.

Tim: wait that's not hard to deal with

Tim: i mean he can fly can't he

Dick: No no no no No

Dick: A fifteen year old flying alone to GOTHAM is literally illegal

Jason: do you know what else is illegal

Jason: vigilantism

Jason: vigilantism is illegal

Damian: I am almost sure that flying is illegal too.

Tim: touché

Dick: But still

Dick: Can't you do something normal

Dick: Like playing video games

Tim: as a date?????

Jason: you could go to the movies

Dick: NEVER

Damian: Jon likes movies.

Dick: You are not going to the movies unless I'm dead and there's no one to stop you

Tim: movies are actually a good idea!

Dick: I don't approve

Damian: Why not?

Dick: Because it's dark and comfy

Jason: what

Tim: ?

Damian: Just because you are unhinged doesn't mean that I am.

Dick: I'M JUST SAYING

Dick: I think it's too cozy

Jason: isn't that???? good???????

Dick: Not when my little brother is going on a date.

Tim: you are completely useless

Dick: I'm just doing my job as a cop and as an older brother!!!

Damian: We are out of topic.

Damian: I wanted to ask a question about flirting and now we're talking about dates.

Jason: but aren't those things connected?

Jason: you and jon are really close to each other baby bird

Jason: i don't even think you have to flirt with him

Dick: That's true

Damian: I don't know.

Damian: Timothy?

Tim: wait a second will you

Tim: i'm thinking

Damian: You don't have to warn us.

Jason: honestly i think he does

Tim: damian

Damian: What is it?

Tim: i'm going to ask you a question

Tim: and it's a complicated one

Tim: really complex

Dick: Just say it already tim oh my god

Tim: is jon

Tim: you know

Tim: is he

Damian: Gay?

Tim: i got chills just by reading the word

Damian: I am rolling my eyes. 

Jason: me too but i didn't know if it'd be a bad thing if i said that

Dick: Everything you say is a bad thing

Jason: literally what is going ON with you today

Damian: Answering your question, Drake, I don't know.

Tim: but aren't you suspicious

Damian: Well.

Damian: I don't know.

Tim: does he like girls?

Damian: Yes. 

Tim: are you sure

Damian: 100%.

Tim: okay

Tim: has he ever said something about boys?

Damian: No.

Tim: oh

Tim: okay

Tim: that's okay

Tim Drake; Jason Todd

Jason: should i say something or

Tim: i'm literally FIDGETING

Jason: then yes i should say something

the flock

Jason: which is okay right?

Jason: tim never talked about boys before and then he showed up dating one

Dick: That's right!

Dick: Maybe some people are just more reserved

Dick: Or shy

Damian: Or straight.

Tim: NOT THE FORBIDDEN WORD

Tim: he's not straight i can feel it

Damian: ? Based on what?

Tim: based on what i feel.

Damian: This is ridiculous.

Damian: He never talked to me about other boys.

Damian: But he also has never shown any unkindness against the community.

Damian: And he knows about me.

Jason: so basically you plan on flirting with him to see how he reacts and discover if he likes dudes

Damian: I'm surprised by your level of cleverness.

Jason: i'll ignore that comment 

Dick: I just don't think it's a good idea to just go out flirting all of a sudden

Dick: It might be weird 

Tim: and uncomfortable

Jason: maybe you should ask him!!!!

Damian: Not even if you come here and put a gun against my head.

Tim: honestly jason 

Jason: WHAT

Tim: why don't you try complimenting him dami?

Tim: does he say good things about you?

Tim: like

Tim: about your looks or whatever

Damian: Obviously.

Damian: Jon says good things about everyone and everything.

Damian: It's not special.

Dick: … What 

Dick: What kind of things

Damian: He told me a few times that I'm talented.

Damian: And that my fighting is good, which is not new.

Damian: A few days ago he told me it's funny to be taller than me because I have to look up to him.

Damian: Which I didn't consider to be a compliment, but something a little offensive that I chose not to care about.

Damian: He keeps comparing our heights.

Damian: And he has this annoying habit of stealing my things.

Jason: what things.

Damian: My sweater, for example.

Damian: The green one.

Damian: It's ridiculous.

Damian: He does that whenever I go to the farm.

Damian: He doesn't even like green.

Tim Drake; Dick Grayson

Dick: I know I can't talk for gay people

Dick: But like

Dick: Isn't that a little gay

Tim: I'M GOING TO THROW UP

Tim Drake; Jason Todd

Jason: who's going to tell him

Jason: it has to be you

Jason: you made this happen

Tim: ??? HOW

Jason: aren't you like the first bisexual to ever exist in humanity

Jason: do something.

Tim: right i cannot fail my people

the flock

Tim: okay

Tim: okay but like

Tim: listen

Tim: when you say flirting

Tim: what do you think about 

Damian: What a dumb question, Drake.

Damian: You have to get the attention of the person you like when you flirt.

Damian: So you do things you know will make that happen.

Tim: right.

Jason: i'm choking

Dick: Shut up this is a delicate moment

Damian: What are you talking about?

Tim: I need some air.

Dick: I THOUGHT YOU WERE DONE WITH THE GRAMMAR

Damian Wayne; Dick Grayson

Damian: I don't understand Tim.

Dick: Give him thirty seconds and he'll be back

the flock

Jason: wait so Jon does that with everyone?

Jason: the height and the sweater thing

Damian: Not like that, but he's pretty kind.

Damian: He always offers to help Lois and says good things about Clark's job.

Dick: And this and what you just told us are the same things

Damian: Pretty much, yes.

Tim: okay i'm back

Tim: just texted bernard

Damian: I do not need to know about your love life.

Tim: ??????

Tim: literally WHY the slander

Jason: okay focuS

Jason: baby bat.

Jason: baby bird.

Jason: little demon.

Damian: I thought you didn't use that nickname anymore.

Jason: pay attention please

Damian: Okay.

Dick: Wow that's a first

Tim: i'm actually intrigued jay keep going

Jason: i just want to ask

Jason: since when does jon do those things?

Jason: like. everything you just said relating to the Situation. when did all that start?

Damian: I don't understand the point of your question.

Damian: He has always been like that.

Damian: He told me once his love language is words of affirmation and physical touch.

Damian: Which sounds a little nonsense to me.

Damian: But it's been a few weeks since he first started to steal my clothes.

Damian: Oh, and there's something else.

Damian: He made me a Spotify playlist once.

Damian: I don't think that actually matters but I thought it would be something appropriate to say.

Jason: what.

Dick: I LITERALLY GASPED WHAT THE FUCK

Tim: ??$?=?%;",???????

Dick: And then i'm the one who gets called dense 

Damian: What?

Damian: What's going on?

Tim: dami

Tim: damI

Tim: Damian Wayne Al Ghul.

Damian: I hate it when you do that, Drake.

Tim: you want to know something funny

Damian: Say it.

Jason: who are you edward cullen

Damian: ? Who?

Dick: HDK2HRKXH???##?$,$?=??????

Tim: IS THAT A TWILIGHT REFERENCE

Damian: I don't understand the reference.

Jason: you should invite bruce to a movie night

Jason: i'm sure he'll love it

Damian: Oh, alright. Thanks, Todd.

Tim Drake: Jason Todd

Tim: YOU ARE AN EVIL HUMAN BEING

Jason: HE DESERVES IT

the flock

Damian: Can you focus again?

Damian: What did you want to tell me, Tim?

Tim: oh right okay

Tim: *sighs*

Jason: you're a weirdo

Tim: shut up

Tim: damian do you know what i used to do when i was into a guy and didn't realize i was into him

Dick: Cried?

Tim: I'M NOT TALKING TO YOU

Damian: No, I don't know, Drake.

Tim: well i had the habit of making them playlists

Tim: and then showing them to the boys like it wasn't obvious 

Jason: that's literally the most obvious thing you could've done

Tim: shut it

Damian: Timothy, why is this information even important to my situation?

Damian: If you want to talk about yourself, you do not need to look for excuses. 

Damian: Just go and talk already.

Tim: i can't believe that.

Tim Drake; Dick Grayson

Tim: i want to strangle him

Dick: No violence in the group chat!!!

Tim: what about in real life

Dick: Would you really kill a fellow lgbt friend

Tim: yes

Dick: Even if he was your brother

Tim: as long as he's damian wayne.

Dick: Get a grip then!

Tim: :/

the flock

Tim: i'm going to say this very carefully and slowly so you listen to me

Damian: Technically we are all reading.

Tim: be quiet your elders are talking.

Dick: Did you just call yourself old

Tim: shhhh don't talk 

Dick: :(

Jason: i know right 

Jason: he really is ruthless

Tim: damian

Tim: don't you think it's curious how jon does the exact same thing that i used to do when i was into someone

Tim: while i was in the closet, may i say

Damian: Where are you trying to get with this?

Tim: i'm just saying

Tim: look, flirting is very subjective and it can be done differently by each person

Tim: mas!!! (/but/ in portuguese)

Jason: didn't know you speak portuguese

Tim: i don't

Jason: oh right

Tim: anyway

Tim: i just think it's funny how jon does the sweater thing and the height thing with /you/

Tim: AND THE PLAYLIST THING TOO!!!

Tim: and you probably don't know that but those are very known ways of flirting between teens

Tim: especially teens who are in the closet and don't know a better way to show their feelings.

Damian: How do you know that?

Tim: ..? because i did all of that? isn't that obvious?? i'm literally bisexual???????

Tim: literally have you read any of my texts

Damian: Yes.

Damian: But

Damian: I'm still not sure what you mean.

Dick: Damian

Dick: What's the playlist name?

Damian: birds and apple trees

Damian: Jonathan doesn't use capital letters either.

Jason: oh

Jason: oh wow

Tim: i know right

Damian: What is happening? Why don't you tell me what is happening?

Dick: You don't have to learn how to flirt, baby bird

Dick: Jon is already into you

Tim: you're not a fool for not being able to realize all that

Tim: and?

Damian: And I just thanked him.

Damian: I was an idiot.

Tim: no, you were not.

Tim: i know i've never talked that much with jon but i do know he's a great kid

Tim: and he likes you a lot

Tim: literally everyone knows that

Tim: i don't think he would give you a playlist expecting the kind of reaction we all know it's not /you/

Tim: because he likes you for you are

Tim: as cheesy as that sounds

Damian: …

Damian: It does sound very cheesy.

Tim: but it's the truth

Tim: maybe he's just confused

Tim: he might be wanting to find a way to express what he feels without necessarily saying it with all the words

Tim: or maybe he's scared

Damian: I don't want him to be scared.

Tim: i know

Damian: But I don't want to scare him even more by inviting him on a date.

Tim: i bet you won't

Jason: you're not alone in this baby bat

Jason: we're going to help you

Dick: You and Jon are going out on the most perfect date

Dick: And it won't be at the movies!!!!

Damian Wayne's Instagram

[A photo of the Wayne Manor rooftop, full of yellow flashlights hanging from the parapet and encircling the floor, while right in the middle of the rooftop there is a two-seater table with two plates of food, two bowls, and lit candles. In the next photo, there are two hands intertwined over the white table cloth, and in the post caption, just:

It's nice to live a life where I can be with you. (Also, thank you to my family for helping me with all this. I am grateful.)]
