Sourcebook
Intro
You left your earrings at his apartment, and Tim told himself it was nothing
People forgot things all the time—phones, books, umbrellas. Earrings were hardly unusual. So why had he been staring at the tiny silver pair sitting on his desk for nearly twenty minutes?
Tim picked one up between his fingers, turning it over absentmindedly. He could simply text you:
"Hey. You left your earrings here"
Easy. Normal. Completely innocent. His thumb hovered over your contact, then stopped. Because he knew himself well enough to understand that the earrings weren't really the reason he wanted to text you, He missed you. That was the problem
You were a civilian, You had no idea that the quiet, perpetually tired young man you knew as Tim Drake spent his nights racing across Gotham as Red Robin. You only knew him as the slightly awkward guy who drank too much coffee or Energy drink, forgot to sleep, and somehow always appeared whenever you needed help, You had become part of his ordinary life, and Tim had become embarrassingly attached to it
His phone was still open to your name
The words from that song he was listening to Recently floated through his mind:
"Her love is in your head"
Tim quietly exhaled
Yeah
It was all in his head
The wanting
The wondering
The Yearning
And every day he waited, the distance between you seemed to grow just a little more
The next afternoon, you knocked on his door, Tim nearly dropped his coffee mug when he opened it
"Oh!"
