Celebrations >Red Robin imagine<

"Nightingale? What the hell are you doing down here?" Dick Grayson's voice echoed through the Bat-Cave as he descended the stairs leading from the manor.

"I just got in." You replied, before adding, "Something's been going on with Riddler tonight, I was just checking the GCPD files to see if they've found anything."

"The files will still be there tomorrow night, what you should be doing is getting at least a few hours sleep, today's a big day." Dick grinned in his usual brotherly manner as he walked up behind your chair and hugging you, "happy birthday baby-bird." He said, placing a quick kiss on your forehead.

"Wait what? My birthday's tomorrow." You replied in a confused tone, glancing over at the clock.

2am... How is it already 2am?

Looking at your expression caused Grayson to laugh gently, and when he suggested once again that you go to bed, you refused.

"Okay okay, I'll leave you to it." He surrendered, turning to leave the cave, "But the sooner you sleep, the sooner you get presents, just saying."

"Whatever Grayson." You called to him, shaking your head with a smile.

There was actually a specific reason as to why you were still awake. Scanning through the GCPD files was just an excuse for you to stay in the cave.

You were never able to sleep unless Tim was home, and he'd been out all night working on a case with the Young Justice team.

The minutes continued ticking by, and when 4am rolled around your eyelids were getting heavy, and within half an hour you were fast asleep in front of the Bat-Cave computer.

The next thing you knew, someone was apprehensively poking your shoulder, which slowly woke you up.

"Damian?" You crocked, opening your eyes to see the youngest Wayne.

"Father told me to wake you and bring you upstairs." He said in his usual straightforward manner.

You rubbed your eyes and stretched, looking over at the clock.

9:30am... who let me sleep down here all night?

"Just let me get changed." You groggily rose from your seat, having realised that you were still wearing your suit.

"Hurry up." The impatient Robin urged, folding his arms.

You walked over to the medical bay of the cave, out of Damian's view, where plenty of spare clothes were kept.

"Did Tim come home last night?" It suddenly came to mind as you were changing that you still hadn't seen or heard from your boyfriend.

Damian didn't reply, and once you had thrown on a large sweater and some skinny jeans you walked out to find him gone.

Typical.

Feeling slightly worried about Tim, you rushed up the stairs and ran into Alfred, who directed you to the living room.

Bursting through the door, you were greeted by a familiar face, spreading relief through your body.

"Where have you been?" You yelled at Tim, grabbing a rolled up newspaper and whacking his arm.

"I was making sure I didn't ruin your present!" He explained, "also, ow!"

"How does not coming home ruin my present?" You asked, folding your arms whilst the rest of the family watched, Jason sniggering.

"I had to look after it..." He said, before getting up and leaving the room.

Everyone waited silently, wondering what on earth Tim could've possibly bought you.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" He shouted as he walked back into the room with something small curled up in his arms.

As he placed your present down on the floor, everything became clear.

A small husky puppy came bounding towards you, and your face lit up.

"You got me a puppy?" You asked in disbelief.

"Okay... He's done pretty well with this one." Jason low-key commented to Steph and Dick.

You picked up the tiny ball of fluff and let him lick your nose, unable to wipe the grin off your face.

"So, how have I done?" Tim asked, looking very proud of himself.

"Amazingly!" You beamed, placing the puppy down and throwing yourself at your boyfriend, who greeted you with open arms.

"I love you." You mumbled into his shoulder.

"I love you too." He replied, bringing your lips up to meet his.

At this gesture, Dick aptly covered Damian's eyes, whilst everyone else just exchanged awkward glances.

Steph distracted herself by getting acquainted with your new puppy.

Eventually Jason intervened, "That's quite enough of that, thanks." He said, dragging Tim away from you.

"And thanks Tim, now all of our presents look like crap." He added.

Once your birthday had been celebrated, everyone went down to the cave to suit up ready for sundown.

However you and Tim ended up asleep on the sofa together, your new husky puppy curled up with you.

The perfect little family.

A/N: honestly can't tell if this one was good or bad haha.

Based on the general consensus of you guys, I'm going to do a young love imagine for Dami, and some friendship imagines for Steph/ Babs!
