HOW HE LOVES | d. grayson & j. todd | 0.7k
SYNOPSIS: how do dick and jason, respectively show their love for you?
ANON: Hi! Can you please write headcanons 'how he loves' for Dick and Jason like you did for Damian? Thanks <3 <3 <3
A/N: tysm for the request <3 first time writing for dink and that was fun.
âč ê NAV. MLISTS.
DICK GRAYSON:
WONDERWALL: Dick is utterly captivated by you, unable to escape the gentle pull you have on him. His thoughts naturally wander back to you, no matter where he is or what heâs doing. The flower shop across the street from his apartment reminds him of the way you smile when you see fresh blooms. The warm cup of coffee in his hand brings to mind your laugh shared over countless cafĂ© visits. Even the melodic song playing on the radio seems to echo your voice, leaving him lost in the memories of moments spent together. Every part of his day feels touched by you, and he wouldnât have it any other way.
BUTTERFLIES: For a man as confident and experienced as Dick, his reaction to you is a mystery even to himself. Why does he suddenly lose his words when you're around? Why does his heart race, his breath hitch, and his usually steady voice falter? Heâs never understood the clichĂ© of âbutterflies in the stomachâ until now, but with you, itâs as if theyâve taken permanent residence. And strangely, he doesnât fear them. On the contrary, he treasures the fluttering chaos you bring into his life, embracing the vulnerability you stir within him.
TO THE WORLD: While he might be bashful in your presence, Dickâs shyness vanishes when it comes to showing you off. He takes pride in being with you, in letting the world know that heâs yours and youâre his. His touch is constantâan arm resting around your shoulder, fingers threaded through yours, a warm hand resting lightly on your waist. In his eyes, youâre a treasure heâs lucky to have, and he makes sure everyone knows just how grateful he is to be with you. His actions are both a promise and a declaration: youâre the center of his world.
SACCHARINE: Dickâs love is a sugary-sweet devotion that knows no bounds. Itâs in the gentle kiss on your forehead that wakes you in the morning, the perfectly prepared breakfast waiting for youâyour favorite, of course. He anticipates your every need, from packing your lunch to knowing your schedule better than you do. His phone lights up with a special ringtone just for you, and his heart skips a beat every time it does. Throughout the day, he sends you little messages, checking in and reminding you how much he adores you. He loves giving you gifts, whether itâs your favorite snacks, a handwritten letter, or flowersâsometimes a vibrant bouquet that brightens the room, other times a single bloom tucked into your bag with a sweet note. And when the day is done, heâs there, waiting with open arms to welcome you back home, where you belong.
JASON TODD:
PROCESS: Jasonâs love is a journeyâslow, steady, and deliberate. It unfolds one step at a time, built on the foundation of mutual trust and understanding. At the start, he wrestles with unfamiliar feelings, trying to push past his instinct to hold back. But you teach him patience, reminding him that boundaries are just as vital as vulnerability. With every shared moment, every quiet conversation, he learns to open up, to let you in. The path may be long and winding, but the bond you create is worth every effort, a reward neither of you takes for granted.
REVERY: Jasonâs life is a constant storm, weighted by responsibilities and the ghosts of his past. Crime Alley, his vigilante work, and the fragile threads of family ties often leave him tense and restless. But with you, he finds something rare: peace. In your presence, his defenses soften, his shoulders lose their rigidity, and his gaze takes on a gentleness thatâs reserved for you alone. Your touch steadies him, your voice soothes the chaos in his mind. You are his haven, his reprieve from a world that rarely gives him rest.
THE ONE: For Jason, you arenât just someone he lovesâyouâre his everything. In a crowded room, his eyes find yours first. His hands instinctively reach for you, seeking the comfort only you can provide. Your name is always on his lips, whether heâs asking for you, talking about you, or just thinking aloud. No matter who else vies for his attention, you remain his first choice. From mundane errands to quiet nights at home, he wants you by his side, sharing in every moment, big or small.
NOT ONLY LOVERS: With Jason, your relationship goes beyond romanceâyouâre his best friend, his confidant, his partner in every sense of the word. Youâre the one he can laugh with until his stomach hurts, the one he can stay up all night talking to about everything and nothing. You do almost everything togetherâspending lazy Sunday mornings making pancakes, your laughter filling the kitchen as you both fight over who gets to flip the next one. Grocery shopping turns into an adventure, with Jason pushing the cart while you sneak in snacks he pretends not to notice. Even mundane chores feel meaningful when shared, like folding laundry while arguing about who left their socks all over the floor. In these shared moments, Jason realized just how deeply youâve woven yourself into his lifeânot just as a lover, but as someone who makes every moment brighter.

Either Halloween is Bruceâs favorite holiday, or he hates it with every ounce of his cold, dark heart.
âYour heart is dark like chocolate milk, master Bruce.â
Thomas and Martha loved it and dressed him up in all kinds of costumes, â which he resents, he still remembers the haunted house Thomas was definitely NOT supposed to take him to, â a tradition Bruce resurrects with his birds.
âBaba, we couldâve ordered costumes. â
âThis is better,â Bruce has been on sketching duty for the past 3 hours, and Damian watched in amazement because how is his line art so smooth?
This is more impressive than Batman, he concludes.
âIs this about Ms. Karenson calling you talentless?â
âNo. This is about ensuring you have a lovely experience,â Bruce sticks a needle between his lips, eyebrows focused, âAnd showing Jessica I can sew just fine.â
Dick pops up, decked out as Fred Jones from Scooby Do (he wouldâve been Daphne, but Tim claimed that, and Tim scares him)
âWhat badass dark hero are you going out as, B?â
âElvira. What about you, Jason?â
Jason eyes his old Robin costume and decides heâll be the funniest person here.

Your hand moves lazily across Jasonâs taut back, tracing circles over the muscles that coil like overstretched ropes, each slight movement sending waves of tension rippling through his form.
A persistent throb pulses at the base of Jasonâs neck, radiating outward into his shoulders like an invisible weight, pressing down with every breath he takes. Your fingers gently untangle the knots, gliding upward from his spine to the sensitive curve of his neck.
âWhy are we even doing this?â He mumbles into the pillow, his voice muffled by the fabric.
You hum above him, your palms moving with a practiced grace over his shoulders. âYou need rest, babyâand this is the only way I can get you to listen.â
He snorts, his voice low. âSo bossy.â
âShush. Enjoy it,â you tease, a quiet smile tugging at the corners of your lips.
Jason melts under your touch, his body surrendering to the soothing rhythm of your hands. You work his muscles like a familiar melody, your palms spreading the oil across the expanse of his scarred back. The liquid flows like golden rivers, tracing the crooked contours of his body.
His eyelids flutter, heavy with the weight of sleep, as your fingers weave deeper into his back. The softness of your touch, the warmth of your palms, drapes over him like a gentle cocoon, lulling him toward a peace he hasnât known in weeks.
Your fingers land on a knot in his back, and with a subtle pressure, it unravelsâlike a tightly wound coil snapping free. Jason exhales in a soft rush, the sound of relief music to your ears.
âYou sound heavenly under me,â you murmur teasingly, your voice low as you hover near his ear.
âShut up,â he groans, burying his flushed face into the ivory pillow, his embarrassment hidden beneath the soft fabric.
âLook whoâs blushing. Do I make you nervous, baby?â You canât hide the smirk in your voice, amusement dancing in every word.
In response, he swats your bare thigh.
âHey!â You squeak, surprised, but then give in with a playful surrender. âM'kay, fine. No more teasing.â
Jason hums, a small, content sound, his hand reaching back to gently squeeze your thigh, a quiet reassurance.
âWanna try a different oil next? Or maybe body butter?â You murmur, your fingers absentmindedly tracing patterns on his skin.
He doesnât answer, and you pull your thoughts away from his warmth, noticing how deeply his features have softened as he drifts further into slumber.
Heâs asleep. The realization brings a quiet smile to your lips, and you lean down to press a soft, chaste kiss to his forehead. Laying down beside him, you let the embrace of sleep pull you in as well, your mind quieting in the peace youâve both found in this moment.

A Part Of The Family
Roy Harper and Lian Harper Drabble!!! (feat. Jason Todd and Dick Grayson)
A/N: if youâve kept up with me, you might have noticed that Iâve started to stan Roy YAY đ« it was a crazy deep dive and I got attached to his character lol one of the main reasons i wanted to write for him was because of his Native American/Indigenous upbringing. I was shocked when I found out because (i donât normally try to share too much about myself cause this is a public space) but iâm indigenous too âšđâš i have to rep my people for Native American Heritage Month *confetti* but i thought i would have to share this to give context on how i plan to write and explore Royâs character. At least from my research (sorry if this is wrong) but he did grow up on the reservation in some of the backstories and itâs not explored very much :( it explains his tattoo, knowing the language, and frankly, a lot of native rep is kinda bad, but i thought leaving out a major part of his childhood didnât help reflect who he was. As someone who has experience and lives as a member of the tribe itâs based on, I wanted to share some silly thoughts :) ofc remember all people with cultural backgrounds have different experiences so read this or donât but iâll see how this turns out so ENJOY đ and comment, like, reblog
Summary: Roy shares a part of his past with Jason and now heâs determined to share an important moment of Lianâs life.
Word Count: 1.2k
âI donât think sheâs going to budge anytime soon.â Roy rested himself on the couch, overlooking his best friend and daughter. They were both on the floor, a soft blanket laid for Lianâs designated tummy time.
Lian blankly watched Jason hold toys, making noises as she followed the sounds, glancing up to look at his excited face as he talked to her.
âDonât listen to him, Lian. Just over three months of life and we are already best friends.â Jasonâs words kept Lianâs attention.
She would give the tiniest smile in return. No laughter yet, but she expressed her enjoyment of Jasonâs presence, nonetheless.
Roy was grinning watching the two, a much clearer expression, but remarkably like Lianâs smile. He had been lacking some sleep, but Jasonâs frequent visits were helping him get a couple extra minutes of rest.
To Royâs surprise, Jason had been over almost everyday this week.
The company was fine, better even according to Roy, but he didnât mean for this to happen. It had been a small slip, a tiny mistake, just a sleepy mumble of his brain when he watched Jason clumsily hold Lian for the first time.
Roy corrected Jasonâs hands to be comfortable for him and Lian. In the movement, he had unconsciously spoken.
âThis reminds me of way back, when there was a new baby in the community, all the kids would crowd around trying to make funny faces, trying to make the baby laugh.â Roy lulled along to Jasonâs slight sway, more confident in holding Lian in his arms. âThen we would hear all the elders yell out to us that we would have to cook if we got the baby to laugh.â
Roy chuckled to himself, remembering the days back on the reservation, feeling the hot sun on his skin.
Jason set his gaze on Roy, never moving his head away from Lianâs tiny body, but focused on the manâs sudden reminiscent tone.
It wasnât often that Roy mentioned the past, he didnât discourage it directly, but he also didnât freely talk about it either.
So, Jason took a chance.
âCook?â Jason harmlessly questioned, smoothing out the tiny hairs on Lianâs forehead as she stared at his face again.
âWell, itâs a big deal when a baby laughs for the first time. We celebrate and itâs planned by the person who makes the baby laugh.â Roy got up from his spot once he heard the washer finish. âAlmost costed my entire savings when one of my friends and I tripped trying to run to the baby first, luckily all we got was a big sneeze.â
Roy threw the damp clothes into the dryer, chuckling to himself.
âI wonder when Lianâs going to laugh.â Roy smiled at the thought. âI hope itâs soon. Wouldnât mind a lilâ party.â
Roy should have been careful about his words that afternoon.
Now Jason felt determined to be the first person to make Lian laugh.
At this rate, Roy wouldnât be surprised if he already had the decorations planned out and stashed away somewhere.
It was nice to have company. Roy had usually expected Jason to be there next to Lian, giving laidback greetings.
Then there was another Bat sitting before his daughter.
Dick had unknowingly found out about Jasonâs frequent visits and Jason was very pissed about it. Despite his very noticeable apprehension to Dickâs presence, he bit his tongue in favor of Lian finding the new addition intriguing.
Too intriguing. Uncomfortably intriguing and an annoyance to Jason.
âFuâGet lost, Dickface.â Jason spoke with slight venom in his voice, but it quickly disappeared as he held out his fingers to Lianâs tiny hands.
âBut Lian wants me here. Isnât that right, Lian?â Dick cooed, a twinkle in his eyes as he spoke. Making noises to get her attention.
âDonât you have other red heads to bother?â Jason scooted closer to Lian, trying to nudge Dick away.
âYouâve been here five days in a row and you expect me to ignore that?â Dick stood up to make faces at Lian from above Jasonâs head.
âA man canât visit a friend?â Jason stood up blocking Dick.
âThen Iâm visiting a friend too.â Dick maneuvered his way to Lianâs side in her bouncer.
âJust fucking leaveââ Jason threw Lianâs rattle at the back of Dickâs head.
The tiny sounds bounced off Dickâs back as it collided to his feet.
There was a brief moment of silence before Dick slowly looked back at Jason. A smile was on his face, but the vein in his head was bulging slowly.
âDinnerâs readyââ Roy called out, making eye contact with the two men wrestling with a baby blanket as Jason tried to somehow twist the fabric to trap his brother.
Dick on the other hand was flexible enough to lessen the hold and pushed the side of Jasonâs face with his free hand.
They murmured insults back and forth as calmly as they could, but the strained smiles on their faces couldnât mask their current wrestling match.
âStop pushing meââ Jason grumbled.
âThen stop twisting my armââ Dick pressed back.
âHehehe.â
Three necks snapped to the quiet sound from the ground, almost lost in the commotion, but there was little Lian.
She laid on her back in her bouncer, completely enamored by the noise and movements around her.
She made small movements in her arms in her excitement, a wide gummy smile on her face.
âI made her laugh.â Jason smiled confidently while tightening the baby blanket around his brother.
âI made her laugh.â Dick challenged, trying to kick back.
Roy walked around the two men to pick up Lian, cuddling her in his arms, and unbelievably happy to witness the delightful sounds from his daughter for the first time.
âNuh uh, Dickwad, itâs my party.â Jason threatened.
âJaybird, she was looking at me too! Wait, what party?â Dick finally asked.
âWhy are you even here?!â Jason groaned.
Roy couldnât even focus on the two bickering behind him, he was busy kissing the side of his daughter's head.
He tenderly kept her in his arms, seeing her gaze back up at him.
His smile was met with a smaller copy of his own.
Roy had seen and heard of the Aâwee Chiâdeedloh, the First Laugh Ceremony, in his time living on the reservation. As a kid, it was just a time for him to eat and play with his friends, but it also welcomed a new family member.
He remembers one of the elder women talking to him as a young boy who stood watching from the distance.
âWe welcome the baby into our present world from the Spirit World, itâs a time that we share with everyone. Itâs the first sign of a baby showing us they want to be a part of the family, to show and give love.â Roy heard the elder talk to him. âDonât forget to eat and get salt from the baby, itâs their offering to us, to encourage them to be generous as they grow.â
At the time, Roy was involving himself more with the tribe, asking questions and participating. He remembers the look on the babyâs face as he received salt and a bag of goods.
He remembered how content he felt that day eating his sweets and now he would finally experience the perspective of a parent helping their child in the ceremony.
âWelcome, sheâawĂ©Ă©â, my Lian.â Roy affectionately whispered to his daughter. âIâm happy you want to be here.â
â

Jason Todd and Kisses
Short Headcanons
I've said it before, and I'll say it again, he's a Serial Hand Kisser. It's as soothing for him as it is you. Fingers entwined, knuckles to lips, just sharing warmth
Your pulses are one of his favorite spots to kiss. The one on your wrist. The one on your throat. The beat of your life against him makes his eyes dilate, his breath hitch and calm settle in his bones
There's lots of kisses when you cuddle, kisses to the crown of your head, your temple, your cheek. But he really likes trailing kisses down your sternum so he can lay his head on your stomach
He peppers your face with kisses in the morning, especially if you donât get to see him before he leaves for patrol. He'll wake you up by nuzzling your nose and marking a lazy path down your jaw
He loves any kind of kiss you give him, gentle, and slow, short and sweet, and the ones that leave him panting and asking for more
He has a special place in his heart for kisses that are all tongues and teeth. The ones that are borderline desperate and frantic with fingers fisted in clothes
Yes, you've tried the Spiderman kiss. Yes, he liked it
Hickeys! You're both going to have them, usually in easy to hide spots, but sometimes he can't resist leaving one or two on your throat or collarbones
(Or behind your ear, one you can't see and one he fails to point out to you before you leave the apartment)
His heart melts a little when you kiss his cheek after he does something sweet. Kisses of affirmation make his knees weak and his head fuzzy
But really, his go-to is cradling your face and kissing you long enough to steal the air from your lungs. He devours the way it makes eyes to starry with adoration before he wraps his arms around your waist to draw you closer

Bojack Horseman/ âMaybe cause youâre prettyâ Meme
Summary: When you go off after he irritates you only for him to catch you say âmaybe cause youâre prettyâ
Dick:
âMaybe pretty?â
He very much knows heâs pretty. And not just randomly pretty. Heâs YOUR pretty whether you were aware or not when you made him yours
Amused but also not where heâs wanting to know what exactly made you think heâs a âmaybeâ. Like on what basis, standards. Just who exactly is he competing against?
He does make a side note how adorable you look when you huff though itâs most definitely not the time to mention that or bring it up
If you manage to sass him before he gets a word out along the lines of âin what world makes you think youâre pretty when being irritating?â or âyou think iâm going to think youâre pretty when iâm this annoyedâ, he wonât say anything and listen. If you donât, heâll change the argument and make it over the âmaybe prettyâ
Either way, itâs going to bother him for the rest of the week as he continuously thinks about it during a mission, spam every group chat heâs in asking if they think heâs pretty
Gone as low as asking Haley if she thought he was pretty. He didnât appreciate the way she tilted her head in confusion
Itâs when you tell him that despite what you said, heâs your one and only pretty both inside and out after receiving a text from everyone to do something about him and his mood, that he stops and goes back to normal
Pulls you into a bear hug, nuzzling his cheek into your hair to then proceed to place kisses all over your neck and face with content thatâs heâs the only pretty one for you
Jason
âOh? So you think Iâm pretty?â
Heâs insufferable and smug, quickly catching to what you just said
A big ol` smirk on his face, eyes sparkling in amusement when you pause and start getting flustered
Sure, you didnât mean to say that. Yup, of course, he totally understands. After all, heâs pretty to you isnât he?
Doesnât let you take what you said back, it makes him feel warm and fuzzy inside knowing that you found him pretty
Especially considering all the scars he has and the things he went through, most would not use the word pretty for him.Â
Heâs an extremely self conscious person who doesnât often get compliments. Even if he does, itâs for his work as an outlaw rather than his own person. So donât fault him too much for him teasing you, heâs simply really happy
He does stop teasing you and take you seriously when you snap at him, asking if he was paying attention to what you said. Despite half his mind being on cloud nine, the other half has been paying attention so he is aware what youâve been telling him
Gives an apology, half heartedly but still an apology, agreeing to whatever conditions you propose. Has to hold back from laughing from the way you look annoyed without realizing how instead of looking agitated, you looked like you were pouting - and thatâs freaking cute.Â
Purposely gets you to topple over the edge of the sofa for an impromptu snuggle session where he rests his head on your chest and enjoy the hand that plays with his hair from giving up in ranting at himÂ
Tim
âIâm pretty?â
Poor boy is completely flustered. A blubbering, hot mess that doesnât help you to calm down when you realize what you said
Heâs going through a crisis in his head, brain going âoh my god they think i'm prettyâ to âholy crap, they think iâm prettyâ
No, he is not paying attention to what you try saying as an excuse to cover up that you thought he was pretty. Or anything after that.Â
Help, he canât even look at you in the eyes, your words echoing in his ears to point it got him to turn red from the tip of ears down to the base of his neck
Smart? Yes. Fun to hang out with? Yes. Pretty? Pretty???
When you yell out his full name, he finally snaps his attention back to you, fumbling over his words to make it seem as though he was listening the whole time
Heâs hyper aware and extremely conscious to the point when you go âyou okay?â with a look of concern and try touching him, he jumps
When he tells you the reason for him to be jumpy after you ask what has gotten into him all of a sudden, both of you were matching, blushing as red as his Red Robin suit
The conversation ends with choppy sentences including you intention to lecture his ears out going out the window as he holds your hand and leans his head over yours with a silly, derpy grin as it settles in that you thought he was pretty
Duke
âYou think Iâm pretty?â
His brain short circuits, all sass dies inside him
No thoughts, just you calling him pretty, repeating his head like a broken record. Actually can be considered brain dead since thatâs how he feels
Snapping your fingers, shaking him by the shoulder, calling his name a million times wonât work. Heâs not responding not because he doesnât want to, rather he canât. Literally, he canât formulate a response
Is this how stans feel when their favorite celebrities compliments them? `Cause heâs ascending into heaven right now over how the person he is loyal and devoted completely to called him pretty
He doesnât realize how long it takes you to get him to snap back to reality though it seems like it was a while when he comes back to the living you were look more concerned rather than irritated
Side note, he doesnât really know how you were able to get him back though he might have an idea from how his head, slightly, stings a bit
Not like thatâll even matter when his voice isnât his usual confident and sarcastic voice but has a slight stutter, quieter, and polite
Heâs also jumpy, cheeks and ears burning when you voice out your concern only to end up asking if you really think heâs pretty as a reply
He manages to pass out while standing, blissful yet happiest smile on his face when you give up trying to give him a piece of your mind and give him a bear hug, telling him heâs more than pretty
Damian Wayne
âObviously Iâm pretty?â
Raises an unamused eyebrow at you, unsure why youâre stating the obvious. Have you met his parents? Of course heâs going to be pretty. Or thatâs how he acts on the outside at least
Inside heâs absolutely flattered and filled with joy, his mind recognizing how you thought he was pretty/he is pretty to you
Definitely is getting a kick of you being flustered on top of being irritated especially seeing how youâre blushing from belatedly realization what exactly you just said to him
Itâs to the point that when you try to go back to what you were saying, it goes in one ear and out the other as he counters with âbut you think iâm pretty.â, âdidnât you say i was pretty?â, or âwhy canât you answer my question: am i pretty?â Heâs extremely smug when he says that btw
The more you react to it, the more itâll amuse him. Worst part is that no matter how much you deny saying along the lines âwhen have I ever called you pretty?â or âdo you really think i think youâre pretty right nowâ, heâll bring out a voice recorder who knows where he got it from or when he had it on him and plays what you said to him back on speaker
If you manage to sass him back about how âwow, to think thatâs all it takes to stroke your egoâ or something similar, heâll get petty and sulk. Might even try to start a childish argument with you
If you donât, expect him to pretty much be in a good mood for the next few days around you and the others. Especially with others, his family and Jon are going to be wondering why heâs suddenly smiling to himself and in such a good mood. Itâs scaring them especially when he does it out of nowhere, without any reason they personally know of
Heâs going also let you indulge with anything you want to do with him whether itâs simply hugging, cuddling, hand-holding, spend time at a park - heâs at the point he wouldnât mind since heâs too happy to be called pretty by you

Jason shivered as he peered out of the old window of your shared apartment. He stared at the blanket of snow that draped the trees and he tugged his sweater tighter against his chest.
âWhy are you sitting by the window Jay, itâs freezing,â you asked, setting down two cups of chai on the coffee table. They sat next to Jasonâs long forgotten book and you smiled reading the titleâMatilda.
Jason often brought out books from childhood during the colder months and he had a particular liking towards Matilda. You always assumed that it was because he saw a glimpse of himself in the odd story. Maybe he found a sense of comfort in it.
âI donât know, itâs beautiful out though,â he replied, pulling you out of your thoughts. You stared out the window and nodded. Jason was not wrong. Despite the harsh weather conditions, the scenery was breathtaking. Pearly crystals gently tickled down and covered the lawn like an elegant rug. The street lights were on and the entire atmosphere felt cosy and welcoming.
Jason took a sip of his tea and hummed in delight. The sweetness of the chai had reached deep within his soul and warmed his heart. He leaned back against the couch and reached for your hand. You were quick to intertwine your fingers together. You brought his knuckles close to you and placed a gentle kiss on his hand.
For a while, it was quiet. You both stayed there, sipping your tea while enjoying each otherâs company and the view. But then, the silence became dull. You decided to reach over to the table and grab the old book. You pushed it towards Jason and he stared at you in confusion.
âRead to me,â you said and he grinned. Jason took the copy from your hands and flipped to the first page, wanting to read to you from the beginning of the story.
You liked watching him read out loud. He always got this excited look in his eyes and a narrative tone in his voice. He often put on different voices for characters and he especially exaggerated the tones when he read childrenâs books. It was no surprise when he gave the worst voice to Harold Wormwood and a silly high pitched one to Miss Honey.
The rest of your evening was spent reading and in fits of giggles. There was no other way youâd spend your night. This was truly the best.
