You aren’t one for huge romantic gestures, cuddling up with your boy on Valentines Day, watching a movie was more than enough.

But because of how understanding and supportive you are to Tim’s day and night job, he can’t help but want to give you something more. So he spent the previous week making plans and scheduling, all the while keeping it hidden from your curiosity.

Constantly you were peering over his shoulder, trying to catch a glimpse of his laptop or cell phone. Though being the Red Robin he was, he easily evaded you. Leaving you to pout. You knew something really special was happening this Valentines Day when the night prior he actually went to bed. And slept… At a normal hour.. HE ACTUALLY SLEPT! WHAT IS THIS MADNESS?

You just stared at him when he came into the bedroom. “What?” he chuckled, walking to the dresser to change.

“Are you feeling ok?” You questioned, slipping out of the bed. Walking up to him and feeling his forehead. He took your hand, “I’m fine, what’s gotten into you?”

“What’s gotten into me? What’s gotten into you? You’re going to bed, at a normal time, and there’s not a electronic in sight.” Staring at him dumbfounded. He only laughed before leading you back to the bed. “Don’t question it” he whispered before pulling you into bed with him.

He wrapped his arms around you, pulling you into his chest. Saying “Just get some sleep” before kissing your hair.

Sighing you let yourself relax. The warmth of the blankets and your boyfriend lulling you to sleep.

The following morning you woke up, still surrounded by the same warmth from the night prior. Gingerly opening your eyes, they adjusted to the light flowing through the curtains.

A soft smile spread on your face when you saw Tim’s peaceful expression. It wasn’t often you got to see him like this. Even when he did go to bed with you, he’d be up long before you were. So you enjoyed this moment while you could.

Lifting one of your hands you ran it through his hair, brows furrowing in his sleep upon feeling your touch. A light chuckle escaped your lips and you nuzzled your nose into his chest, taking in his scent.

His arms wrapped around you tighter, looking back up to his face catching his blue hues.

“Good morning” his voice was thick with sleep as he smiled at you.

“Good morning, love” you responded, “Hey” he pulled you to where his face was inches from yours “Happy Valentines Day”

You pecked his lips, “Happy Valentines Day… Valentine”

After dragging your ass out of bed, you went to make breakfast.

“I could make breakfast sweetheart” He offered wrapping his arms around your waist. You continued to crack eggs.

“How about you make us some coffee, which I know you do so well, and I’ll make breakfast” you negotiated, feeling him retract his arms and head to the coffee maker.

Laughing upon hearing his sigh of relief after taking his first sip. “Feeling better?”

“If it weren’t for you, coffee would be the love of my life.” He smiled over to you. Feeling a blush spread to your cheeks you diverted your eyes to flipping the pancakes.

“I love it when you’re bashful” He came up behind you, kissing your temple.

Sliding the last pancake onto a plate you turned to face him, “and I love you, now let’s eat”

Chuckling he complied and helped you carry the plates to the table. Sitting down you both enjoyed the breakfast. You tried your best to get him to reveal his plans but he insisted on it being a surprise.

After eating Tim told you to go get ready while he cleaned up. You gave him a questioning look, he laughed before saying “Will you just go, let me do this.”

Throwing your hands up in defeat you retreated into the bathroom. After taking a shower you changed and finished getting ready for the day. For the time being you were wearing comfortable clothes. He let you in on that the plans weren’t until later.

Padding into the living room you plopped down next to him on the couch. He already had your favorite movie on the tv screen, stuck on the play menu.

“I know you love to have just me and you time so I thought we could watch a movie until it was time to go on our grand adventure.” He proposed wrapping an arm around you.

“Sounds perfect” you cuddled into his chest. Feeling the soft vibrations of his chuckle. Watching a movie with the blinds drawn and cuddled together was the most perfect Valentines start you could think of.

The movie was spectacular as always, one of the reasons it was your favorite was the way it just got better after each watch.

When it ended he told you to go get ready for what he had plans and to grab your camera, which you did rather quickly.

“Ready?” he asked as you exited your shared bedroom. Taking his hand you answered, “As I’ll ever be. Especially since I don’t know where we’re going.” He only chuckled before leading you out of the apartment, your camera bag slung over your shoulder.

He lead you out to his car, opening the passenger door for you. When you were both in he turned to you with a smirk across his face. “Okay, what’s with the face?”

“In order for it to be a surprise I need you to cover your eyes” He offered you a blindfold. Laughing you took it from his hands, slipping it over your eyes. Teasing him by whispering “Oh kinky”

“STOP!” he yelped causing you to laugh. You could only imagine how red and flustered his face was. You ended up playing twenty questions with him during the ride, trying to decipher where you were going.

“Tim just tell me” you reached around for his hand but failed to find it. He chuckled intertwining his fingers with yours, “Just hold out a little longer” kissing your knuckles.

“Ugghh” you slumped in your seat.

“Alright, here we are” he proclaimed as you took off the blindfold. Looking out the window you saw yourself outside of Wayne Tower. “Being the son of the owner of Wayne Enterprises gives you special access to the tallest building in Gotham. So what do you say? Want to have a photo shoot?”

You whipped your head to looked at him, a beaming grin plastered on your face. You immediately pulled his face to yours, crashing your lips to his. He was caught off guard by your swift actions but responded nonetheless. Pulling away, “You’re the most amazing boyfriend, come on!” squealing as you exited the car.

He had to run to catch up to you. He used his master key to get through every door and eventually to the door of the roof. Stepping out you felt a burst of wind, causing you to grip onto his arm.

“Hey it’s alright, just a gust of wind is all.” he reassured, helping your slightly worked up nerves. He was always calm when you needed him to be, it was no doubt that you could always count on him.

Walking out further you saw the city skyline. The sun was setting, leaving the buildings to be nothing but silhouettes. It was a breathtaking view.


Carefully making your way to the edge, entranced by the view. “Tim this is amazing” you said in a breathy tone. He smiled seeing the way your eyes sparkled, and lips were stuck in an upward turn.

You set down the camera bag on your shoulder, taking out your professional looking camera. Bringing the view finder to your eye, you began to take pictures of the scenery. Catching Gotham in one of it’s few beautiful times.

“Hey Timmy come here” you gestured for him to come next to you. He had been leaning against the door watching you. Complying he pushed off the wall meeting you at your side.

“Take a picture with me” You handed I’m the camera. Helping him adjust his arm so you were both in it. “Okay 1.. 2.. 3” he counted down before the flash went off. You took quite a few, some silly, some normal, and some romantic.

You laughed while scrolling through the photos. The sun had set now but the city was still bustling.

You were distracted by the photos until you heard soft music playing, looking up you noticed Tim with a hand extended. “Dance with me”

Setting down the camera before taking his hand softly. He pulled you to his chest and took lead of the dance. Twirling and dipping you every-so-often. Eliciting giggles to bubble from your throat, which deemed contagious as he began to chuckle as well.

When the song ended he still kept you close. Resting his forehead against yours. Wrapping your arms around his neck, he let out a content sigh letting his eyes close.

“You know I love you more than anything right? You’re so perfect and supportive of everything I do. You understand me in a way nobody ever could, you’re outstanding at everything you do. You’re beautiful and talented and just outright amazing. I can’t imagine my life without you in it, and I don’t intend on ever losing you from it.” His words were fragile as he whispered them to you. Not noticing his hand retreat from your hip and into his coat pocket.

Slowly he knelt down on one knee, pulling out a small velvet box. Your hands immediately shooting to cover your mouth. “I love you more then life itself, so please please marry me.”

“Oh my god, Tim.” You whispered a smile blossoming on your face. “Of course I’ll marry you, you coffee loving maniac.” throwing your arms around him before eagerly meeting your lips to his. You really had a knack for these swift kisses and catching him off guard.

Though once again he immediately kissed back before pulling away and slipping the ring on your finger. You smiled again before he kissed you once more.

Perhaps big romantic gestures weren’t too bad.
