Red Strings [JayTim]

Seed

Timothy Drake was not a believer on true love. He was not a believer on soulmates. In general... he didn't understand romance.

Why did everyone get so crazy on Valentine's Day? It was so stupid. Just another holiday to throw his loneliness in his face.

Not that he wanted to be with anyone... right?

Speaking of romance:

Dick Grayson- erm- Nightwing, was talking to Red Robin over the com.

"Come on Double R! You must have someone you like!"

"No, Nightwing, I don't." Red Robin was becoming increasingly frustrated with his adoptive brother.

"You totally do! Everyone does. Love is a magical thing!" Nightwing singsonged.

"You want to know how I feel? I hate love. It's stupid, pointless, and it never ends up well! Love is horrible!" Red Robin yelled before he turned off the communicator. He was tired.

"You're right about one thing," a voice spoke.

"Wha-" The young Robin was thrown into a side of a building.

A figure appeared before him. They didn't look like they had a definitive gender, as they were very androgynous. Blonde hair with a red uniform, curiously there were red Strings wrapped around their arms, and their eyes a bright magenta.

"Who are you?" RR asked, trying not to let his guard crumble. He was normally so composed! What was it about this person that made him feel weak?

The figure smiled, "I am Amor, child of Eros." They spoke simply, "and you have befouled the greatness of love."

"What?! Eros!? He's a god! Gods don't exist-" RR paused. Diana-Wonder Woman was the daughter of Zeus... "I'm confused..."

Amor grinned, "don't fret! I'm just here to give you a gift! Or a curse, depending on the situation." They shrugged and there was a flash of danger in those eyes.

Before Red Robin could react there was a bright light and suddenly he seemed to be in a different state of mind... or world.

Everything around him was pink and he didn't even have his Red Robin suit on. It was just Tim Drake.

Amor popped up before him, making the other yelp in surprise. "Well now! Your real name is Timothy Drake, age 19, graduated college at 17, and... oh! Bruce Wayne is Batman! Funny~"

Tim looked panicked, "how did you know all of that??"

"I'm a god. Duh." Amor rolled their eyes, "anyways! Since you speak so badly on love, I have to force you to understand it. With this gift you will be able to see the red strings of fate! One soul mate to another, including your own."

Tim bit his lip. Soulmate... but I... "I can't have one... I don't believe in that..."

"That's why I'm forcing you to." Amor was getting frustrated, "with your power you can see your soulmate, but beware... if you reject them then you will have dire consequences. I can't force you to accept it nor can I force you to fall in love, as I do not have all my father's power, but I do have the power of influence and the curses of romance." They explained pointedly,

They sure like to talk a lot.. Tim sighed, "fine. I accept your so-called gift. But how do I know if I succeeded whatever this is?"

"Whenever you fall in love, then everything will stop and you'll be free to live how you like!" Amor chirped, clapping their hands, "one! Two! Three!!!"

Tim gasped as he felt his body starting to heat up. He squeezed his eyes shut and allowed himself to be taken over.

When every thing was done with...

Tim woke up in the manor.

Dumb little Amor doodle lol
