Tim couldn’t take this anymore- couldn’t keep this secret from you.

He knew it was a bad idea- Dick had told him so. What if you leaked this? What if everyone knew and there was no going back?

no, he rationalised, you love him. You wouldn’t risk his life like that, you wouldn’t risk his whole family’s life like that.

Tim decided to go for it.

As usual, he’d snuck in through your window, falling flat on his face as he tripped over the ledge. Not a great start. He tried not to overthink that as a bad omen.

“I’ve got something really important to tell you and you can’t freak out or tell anyone— okay?” Tim cupped your face, eyes searching your own, “okay..”

He took a deep breath. This was so scary. “I’m…I’m Red Robin.”
