[ that sends a cold chill down his spine. the idea of those broad hands, digging into his boyfriend constricts in his chest. ]
It is important.
[ he counters, a thread of anger colouring his voice. ]
You know, I was actually scared that telling you would impact your relationship badly but now I'm so fucking glad I did. He shouldn't be doing shit like that to you. Make it obvious you don't want it, Tim. Stay vigilant.
[ he knows the irritation in his voice is affecting Tim. his boyfriend’s words get all placating. as sweet as it is, that Tim even has to do that makes him even more angry at Bruce.
he takes a slow breath, wills the snap out of his voice. ]
I’m yours too, Tim. [ this, he says softly. ] And it’s not your fault, alright? I know you’ll try to prevent it, but Bruce is Bruce, and if anything like this ever happens again, I just want you to know that it’s not you, okay?
[ it’s a sentiment that took Dick years to convince himself of. ]
And thank you for telling me. I’m glad we can tell each other anything.
I'll let you know if anything happens. I feel pretty confident I can handle it, but it probably wouldn't hurt to have a pissed off "older brother" tell him off.
[ Tim's voice is a little lighter. At least it feels like they're on the right track. ]
You're the only one I want, so it helps that I wouldn't even be tempted. You're pretty great, you know? So I won't let anyone ruin what we have.

[ He may or may not be a little overly anxious about wanting to make sure Dick knows that he appreciates the level of trust they have. ]
I will. I promise, Dick. I won't let anything happen. I'm not his Robin anymore anyway, I'm yours.
