Pairing: Jason x Tim

---- Romance Synopsis ----

Reverse-order universe, with Damian as the eldest brother

One day, Jason suddenly realizes that his second-oldest brother stands out inexplicably among all their siblings. When they're alone together, Jason feels something strange that leaves him restless. He thinks his belated rebellious phase has finally arrived, and that he's starting to push back against his eldest brother.

After falling into a few other universes, Jason suddenly sees the light. He, Jason Todd, has finally found his first love.

"Timothy! I like you!"

"?"

"?!" Tim is horrified. Why has his little brother suddenly decided to make a move on him the moment he wakes up?!

---- Full Synopsis ----

The world is full of wonders, and the universe contains everything. Earth-666 is a world where all the children of the main universe have their ages reversed.

Here, you can find Damian as the eldest son, and Jonathan as an eldest son too.

For Bruce, eldest son Damian is difficult to get along with and even harder to raise. Everything about the League of Assassins is deeply etched into his blood. As a result, they rarely share tender moments. After the first Substitute Incident, Cass gives Bruce some advice, and he finally decides to have a proper talk with Damian.

Later, Damian leaves to gain experience. Bruce adopts Tim and helps Stephanie. After that come Jason and Dick.

Tim cares deeply about Jason, looking out for his health and schoolwork. Bruce is very pleased.

But one day, Jason starts avoiding Tim's attention. He hides away by himself and broods for a long time. Bruce thinks that, like any teenage boy, Jason has his own secrets and troubles.

After that, Jason starts disappearing for no apparent reason, always returning with a troubled look. Bruce tries to check on him, but Jason avoids him every time. Then Damian's arrival finally breaks the stalemate.

The eldest brother sees through Jason's feelings with ease, and even encourages him to boldly pursue love. Bruce, meanwhile, is left utterly stunned.

Encouraged, Jason tries to show his affection in subtle ways, but Tim keeps taking it as a little brother's concern. Finally, Jason hurriedly corners Tim and blurts out how he feels.

And then Tim is stunned.

In summary:

Bruce: Why would a child I raised develop feelings for his adoptive brother that go beyond family affection? Is it because he lacked affection as a child? (Stunned 1)

Tim: Why did the little brother I raised wake up and suddenly want to make a move on me? Was there a flaw in my parenting? (Stunned 2)

Hand-drawn cover. (I added the Nightwing emblem, but thought the Robin emblem suited it better. I couldn't bring myself to erase it, so I left it.)

Content warnings:

1. The romance is part of the Batfamily's journey as they grow up, so Jason and Tim's relationship develops around the middle of the story. The story starts with Damian.

2. A little bit of SuperBat, and partner-like relationships between the Super Twins and others.

3. Mostly everyday life, with arguments, fights, running away from home, and other such events.

Theme: Cherish the present
