    Summary

    Diluc was serving at the tavern, Kaeya sat on the bar in his regular spot. 

    He had tried to annoy Diluc as usual, but the banter didn’t get too far, all with the many customers celebrating something of some kind, and requesting drink after drink after drink.
    Diluc stopped responding to Kaeya after a few minutes, not bothered enough to serve drunks in both drinks and words. And Kaeya didn’t insist. 

    Serving drinks, cleaning, doing basic math for drunkards too inebriated to understand the concept of 2+2. In a flash the night seemed to have gone by. In a flash, the tavern seemed to empty. In a flash, Diluc realized Kaeya was slumped in his stool, head resting over his arm, asleep. 

    or; Kaeya is tired but luckily he has a brother to look over him

    Summary

    There’s a small half-moon of blood under the white of Tim’s nail where he bent it. He studies the red of it, feeling foggy and dreamlike. “Can I ask you a question?”

    His brother’s eyes flick to him and away again, surprised and wary. “What?”

    His nail doesn’t hurt much, just the dullest of aches when he presses down against it. “When you were homeless, you slept with people for money, didn’t you?”

    Jason jerks like he’s been slapped. His knuckles are so pale where they grip the steering wheel they suddenly look more bone than flesh. “Did I -”

    “Was it worth it?” Tim asks, drifting like a cloud over whatever furious reaction Jason was about to give him. “The money, I mean.”

    His sternum slams into the seatbelt with bruising force. Unbraced for it, his head whips forward and back against his seat as they swerve off the road again and skid to a halt with a screech of rubber.

    Summary

    "Timmy is good and kind and funny and snarky. He's arrogant like all the Robins before him and would probably keel over on the spot if he actually had to obey Batman without question.

     

    Jason is so far removed from anything resembling good that he doesn't even remember what that used to look like."

    Summary

    The thing is, Jason has been thinking about just going home.

    It starts like this:

    “Please don’t. Please, please don’t.”

    With Robin begging.

    Summary

    ‘Stop right now. Or I’ll bite you.’

    Jason wavered but he still inched closer.

    ‘I will bite you, Jason,’ Tim promised, ‘come near me and I will bite you.’

    ‘No biting in the elevator.’

    ‘Silence, Richard! I am eager to see how this progresses.’

    Or: The batboys get stuck in an elevator and it goes just as badly as you’d expect.
