Watching Detective Shows with Tim Drake Headcanons

iwritethat:

AN: I got inspired by my own headcanon, what the heck? Ah well, just a little fun I guess.

>>>>——————–>

Watching detective shows with Tim Drake would include:

• It’s next to impossible for you to not know who the murderer is before the show has finished. Tim, try’s to keep it to himself but ends up muttering it half way through or simply telling you once he’s figured it out and you’re just silently crying because you wanted to have that moment at the end of the show.

• Taking prevention methods to make him shut up, for example throwing a pillow at him whenever he goes to spoil the ending or interrupting him so he can never finish.
“I know -”
“Tim. Don’t say it.”
“But it’s the -”
“Don’t do it Timmy, just keep that pretty little mouth of yours shut.”
“Make me.”
“…What the heck Tim?”

• You’ve probably had play fights over trying to get Tim to be quiet and once ended up hovering over him on the floor when you were originally seated on the sofa. Dick walked in and just kinda observed the position you were in with a smirk before directing his attention to the TV briefly.
“Yeah, it was that John guy who did it.”
You just collapse on your boyfriend with a whimper as he wraps his arms around you.
“Hey, at least it wasn’t me this time (y/n).”
“Why did Batman train all of you with superior detective skills and why do you all use them to spoil endings?”

• You have resorted to straddling Tim on multiple occasions with your hand/finger over his mouth so he doesn’t mutter the ending. In your distracted state, your hand just slips onto his chest as you’re enthralled in the show and Tim will take that opportunity to get close enough to whisper huskily into your ear.
“It was the maid.”
“Oh my gosh Tim! Why?!”

• Tim does not like being wrong about these things, not that he is at any point but you make him think so as a revenge tactic. They’re especially effective if he leaves half way through once he’s spoils the ending for you and gotten back to work.
“Hey Tim, it wasn’t the maid.”
No matter what he’s doing, he’ll be by your side in seconds with a shocked look on his face and basically interrogating you.
“What? Who else could it have been? That makes no logical sense, the butler and Lord had an alibi whilst the Lady of the House couldn’t have reached the scene of the murder in time to commit it so how?”
“Yeah well turns out the butler had accomplices that he paid and then made himself an alibi.”
“On a butlers salary (y/n)? Really?”
“Yes. Just look at Alfred, he could murder anyone of us and no one would suspect a thing.”
Tim will go and check on the internet soon after and find out that he was right all along then get irritated for getting distracted so easily whilst whining about how you could do that to him.

• Once watched Scooby Doo the Movie which Tim had surprisingly never seen before, using that to your advantage you quickly came up with this theory as to why Scrappy Doo was behind the island curse that actually made perfect sense.
“…and Scrappy isn’t apart of their mystery group anymore.”
“Yeah that seems logical.” Tim was genuinely impressed that you beat him to it and that you figured it all out so fast, however maybe he wanted to see the end of the movie without spoilers. Now he knows what it feels like.
You did not tell Tim you had seen the movie beforehand.

• Despite all that though, it’s nice to just see Tim kind of take a break from vigilantism to sit and watch films/series with you.
