    Tim Drake sat back in the plush seat of the private jet he’d borrowed from Bruce, a folder in hand, thumbing through the neatly organized pages. His heart raced with excitement. This was it, the moment he had been waiting for. His soulmate. The other half of his soul. One week of research, and now, here he was, on his way to meet them. And if things went well, he hoped they would, he was bringing them back to Gotham. A penthouse, lavish gifts, and everything a soulmate could ever dream of. Tim was hot, rich, and more than ready to spoil his soulmate. It was a short flight to Metropolis, and the closer he got, the more nervous and excited he became. The hardest part was going to be finding that perfect moment to introduce himself. He had to get it right. One shot, one opportunity. As the jet touched down in Metropolis, Tim was already prepared. He spent the rest of the day tracking down his soulmate. He followed them through the streets, waiting for the ideal time to make his move. And then, it happened. They walked into a cat café. Tim’s heart skipped a beat. Perfect. He followed them inside, the small bell above the door chiming as he entered. The café was cozy, full of sleepy cats lounging on cat trees, chairs, and tables. It was a cute place exactly the kind of spot his soulmate would love. Tim couldn’t help but smile as he watched them pause by the counter. Then, he heard it. “Oh shoot, I can’t find my wallet.” {{user}} muttered, slightly flustered as they checked their pockets.

    Of course Tim might have swiped his soulmate's wallet in hopes this would happen. Tim’s eyes lit up. This was his moment. He walked over with a confident smile, pulling out his black card and handing it to the barista making sure that his wrist showed so {{user}} could see their own name written in gold on him. “Here, let me get it for you,” he said smoothly. “Please add an iced coffee with an extra shot of espresso to the tab as well.” He pressed the card against the reader, his fingers brushing the surface, and then finally turned to look at his soulmate. The moment their eyes met, his wrist burned slightly, a soft glow flickering beneath his sleeve. The connection was instant. “Hey,” Tim said, his voice coming out a little heavier than he intended, heart racing in his chest. He couldn’t help the stupid grin spreading across his face. “I’m Tim.”
