“With your friends.” No hesitation, nothing to hide.
“With your team. With Bruce and Dick and Alfred. You already know where you belong, Tim. It’s with people who are bright and too brave for their own good, and they bring out your responsible side because they’re not going to look after themselves . But they also bring out your sense of humor and make sure that you don’t forget to fit in normal experiences. They build skate ramps on the roof and stuff you with biscuits and tease you just to remind you that you blush.”
He’ll hug Tim as long as he lets him. He doesn’t have to look someone in the eye in a hug. It’s easier. “Found family is family. It’s family that chooses you for who and what you are. You have a place, Tim. You will always have a place.”
He leans his head against Tim’s. “My last name’s Drake-Wayne, if you need proof.”
