Pretty Boy | R. Grayson

Headcanons

Included below are my headcanons for this character. Most of these are just random ideas I have had while thinking about his character, some are available already on my original account in the book The Bat's Birds.

Anyhow, let's plunge into my exclusive Richard Grayson headcanons.

~•~

Headcanon#1: Secret Language

I'm quite certain that Tim and Richard had a secret language which only the two of them could understand. They had a fixed pattern of gestures they used on a regular basis to communicate all sorts of stuff among themselves without letting the others find out.

It was almost like every time the two would be together, they would be silently having a long chat. Abrupt bursts of laughter and shocked gasps were quite normal in their presence even though they were technically not even speaking.

Jason: "Can you please stop with the eye thing now?"

Richard: "What eye thing?"

Damian: "No seriously, it's putting me off too. Just stop."

Tim burst into laughter while a satisfied smirk danced on Richard's face as if he had just told him a hilarious joke.

Jason: "This... Exactly this behavior of yours is extremely annoying. Like I've lost count of how many times you've wiggled your eyebrows and I swear every time Tim blinks, he conveys some sort of hidden message to you. It's annoying and I swear I'll find out what you two are up to."

Tim: "Well, I'm supposed to be the detective so... That claim doesn't quite fit you."

Damian (giving them an intense glare): "Well, I'm the son of Batman and I swear me and Jason will figure you both out together. Now this claim fits perfectly, right Drake?"

Tim (controlling a sudden urge to laugh as Richard was again making a joke out of the whole situation): "Yeah, suuuurrrreeee."

Headcanon#2: Starving to Death

Won't starve but will make a huge fuss of it before going in the kitchen to cook.

***

Headcanon#3: Punctuality

Being the eldest, Richard felt it as a responsibility to be on time so as not to set a bad example for others.

***

Headcanon#4: Commonly Used Insult

"You, sir, are an oxygen thief!

***

Headcanon#5: Things He Forgets About

The time. He keeps a watch with him but still forgets the time and also forgets mostly that he is wearing a wristwatch. And when he forgets to wear it, the situation is worse because he would be staring at his empty wrist every now and then, trying to recall who stole his watch.

Headcanon#6: Free Hug Kid

Richard Grayson was not only known as Robin by the Batfam and later Nightwing, he was also known as the Free Hug Kid.
