Summary
He’d been out for maybe two hours before he’d noticed his shadow, chasing across rooftops and down fire escapes, keeping up with his every move. Only instinct and a deep-seated knowledge of the man’s movements kept Tim from going on the offensive, instead letting Jason creep closer and closer until finally they ended up on the same rooftop, staring across asphalt tiling at each other.

Summary
Steph makes a short, disbelieving sound and turns away, shaking her head. Jason’s got his head cocked to the side, hands fisted around the edges of his pockets, shoulders creeping forward like he’s half a second away from falling into a fighting stance. And Tim…
Tim was having a good day. He’d been having fun, he’d managed to forget about the job for a while, he’d gotten to be a normal guy for a few hours, hanging out with a friend and being silly and not having to worry about crime or corruption or people’s lives on the line anytime he so much as took a breath.

Summary
Tim keeps catching glimpses of Jason everywhere; paying for popcorn, in line for the bumper cars, talking to the attendant at the beanbag toss. It’s like they’re circling each other, and it seems like every time Tim turns, Jason’s there on the periphery. He doesn’t seem to have seen Tim yet, always with his back turned or people between them or, once, Tim up on the ferris wheel with Kon on one side and Steph on the other, looking down and picking Jason out of the crowd by the way he moved.

Summary
“So it was either one of several ill-advised not-quite dates,” Jason sums up after a moment, “your big brother, or me. More or less.”
“More or less,” Tim agrees, leaning back again and humming slightly around the rim of his glass.
Jason shakes his head slightly. “Well, sorry you got stuck with me, then,” he says, self-deprecating little grin spreading across his face.
“I’m not,” Tim says, smiling that same damned unreadable Cheshire Cat smile that he’s been wearing all night. “After all, you were my first choice.”

Summary
Jason’s just doing this because Tim will like it, he tells himself, only that. He’s doing this because it will make Tim smile, and not at all because there’s something intimate about the way Tim looks at cars and the way he lets Jason see that he’s doing it, like he’s sharing something special.
He’s doing it because…
Oh, fuck it. He’s totally doing it because some part of him is hoping, desperately, against all the warnings and advice the rest of him is screaming at him, that maybe, just maybe, Tim will see it as the date that Jason can’t quite bring himself to admit that it is.

Summary
“It’s fine,” Jason says, nudging his sarcasm level down to something a bit less hostile and more gently ribbing. “We patrol, we hang out. It’s not really a thing.”
It is a thing, or at least Jason’s really hoping it’s a thing, but Dick doesn’t need to know that.
“Right,” Dick says, a third time; Jason’s starting to wonder if Dick has somehow lost the ability to start sentences any other way. "That's, uh, that's good."
