Summary
"I don't understand." Tim shook his head. "I stole from you. I'm a thief. And you're being - nice."
"Tim," Dick leaned against the doorframe, balancing his bounty of snacks, "I've seen a lot of thieves in Gotham. You are not one of them. Besides, you're kind of like our neighbor. Considering this us being neighborly. Now," he shifted some of the junk food before there was a small avalanche, "come help me carry this and maybe we can get out there before Jason turns this whole floor into a fort."
OR,
The boys find an intruder in Wayne Manor in the middle of the night and take it upon themselves to confront the "criminal". Of course that would end in a sleepover.

Summary
"Bruce felt his head lolling forward when a pinging noise brought him back to life, snorting and squinting at the new alert on the screen. A 9-1-1 call, from just about a mile away...
The voice was small, male, maybe somewhere between 8 and 10? And he was panicking."

Summary
"I'm not going to ask you why you're out here, kid," Jason nods. "That's your business and you don't know me or Dick to trust us."
Not true. Tim trusts Jason Todd and Dick Grayson with his life. Just not with, the other stuff.
"But," Jason continues, "if you want to tell me what got you here, or you just want to talk about anything, you can, with me. Dick too. He's an annoying ray of sunshine that won't ever shut up most of the time, but he is actually a good listener. I'd know."
OR
When Tim's parents find out Tim's secret, they kick him out. Now, on Thanksgiving, Tim is living on the streets and is thankful for the two strangers currently saving him from getting his face pounded into the pavement. Wait...those aren't strangers...

Summary
He tapped the screen again, his face up close in the zoomed camera.
"Whoa, ultra Tim-vision, no thank you. I think I just saw my pimple's pimple. Gross." He zoomed out and grinned at himself. "I don't know if I have ever felt so freaking happy or strong or cool, or well, anything, in my whole entire life."
And it was true. Standing atop a building as Robin. If someone were to look up, they would definitely think he was the real deal and the thought left him beaming. Jumping in place, Tim gave another whoop, punching the air and then bending over into a fit of high pitched laughter. This was all the joy he would ever need for the rest of his existence.
And then someone screamed.
OR,
Tim Drake puts together a very realistic Robin costume for Halloween and gets mistaken for the real deal.

"Oh, you look great," Tim zoomed in on the bright red outfit.
"Take that picture," Bruce lifted a white-gloved finger, "and you'll never see that phone again."
"Eh," Tim tucked the device in his pocket, already having snapped a couple candid shots, "I've got extras."
"Well," Alfred adjusted Bruce's faux beard, "I think you look splendid, Master Bruce. The children are going to love you."
"Or be terrified of him," Tim shrugged. "I know you're in costume, but try not to accidentally use your Batman voice on the kids."
"Keep it up," Bruce pulled the fluffy hat over his head, "and I'll make you my elf."
OR
It's another annual Wayne Enterprises Christmas party, but this year, there is a special guest...

"I've never tried to steal the tires from fucking Batman."
"That's too specific, Dick," Jason argued until he noticed Tim slowly sipping. "The fuck?"
"I wanted to see how hard it would be!" Tim threw up his arms. "You'd think that they'd be, like, reinforced, or something!"
"And?" Jason leaned forward, a genuine grin growing across his face.
"Well they were when I tried!" Tim shouted. "Must've done it after a punk kid managed to get them off with no problem. I thought he was gonna kill me."
