How did you meet?

Back in middle school.

Toby and Lyra were known as the German exchange students. They were placed in your class about halfway through your first semester. The twins ended up living in Colorado after their dad had some business to finish in the u.s. He’s a business man who’s wife relies on him to keep her job. By the way did I mention that he sucks? Your parents don’t, so congrats! <3

All of your parents are financially rich? Sorta? Rich enough to place you in the same private boarding school a few years later.

Connie, their mom, loves you like her daughter. Absolute sweetheart. Would kill for u trust.

You clicked with Lyra on the basis of being queer (she’s lesbian), Toby because he was a package deal and you were acting normal with him (he’s not used to that sorta treatment!)

Toby stuck to Lyra like GLUE. He’d follow her everywhere. One time you saw him pulling at her shirt when she tried to leave to see her friend. She had to bring him with her.

To be honest, Toby looked pretty weak and malnourished when you first met, he was also EXTREMELY hesitant to get involved with you outside of Lyra’s interactions with you. The moment you had laughed ((instead of getting mad. . )) after his tic made him pull at your hair, I swear he fell in love with u /hj

Genuinely he is so quick to get out of his shell and follow you like a lost puppy. It’s like a, ‘’do I follow Lyra, or (name)??? Shit shit who’’ situation when you two decide to split.

You realised he was pretty reserved at first because of his time back in Germany. Elementary kids were RUTHLESS with him, and he had to be homeschooled. Lyra and Toby were separated, and he was worried something would happen to him or her now that they were. Luckily for him, his dad had already planned for them to move to the u.s (not out of kindness for Toby, like I said guy’s a business man).

Both were fluent in English, but Toby was comfortable placing a few German words here and there throughout his speech.

He eats junk for lunch. You started bringing him lunch. He’s eager to reach into your lunchbox if you have something he wants. Lyra smacks his hand and tells him to behave. You usually end up giving him what he had wanted. Toby wants u sooo bad after that.

Does he have a crush on you? Maybe. He can’t figure it out if he does. He sure acts like a boyfriend.

Lyra and you are ying and yang. You don’t deal with anyone’s bullshit in your time in middle school, and actively protect Toby from any stares or aggressive advances.

Toby is SHOOOOORT!!! OMG. He’s so short like at least to your nose. Lyra’s a bit taller, she’s your height.

Despite Toby’s shortness he treats you as if you were the one smaller and needed his constant protection (by being physically affectionate). If you ask him about it, he tells you that you’re clearly in need of his aid (bro himself is gonna get blown away by the wind?? what protection is he talking about)

Toby has a mix of bipolar/BPD, therapists weren’t able to set the exact diagnosis. You’re (un)fortunately his FP. Yeah, good luck with that??

You were mindblown when you’d accidentally spilled his cup of hot chocolate on him and he didn’t even flinch. ‘’Yeah, he can’t feel that’’ Lyra just drops the lore bomb on you. Toby just complains about his pants being ruined. You’re just there like ??? Sorry but also what

You made Lyra tell you about all his conditions. You spent about an entire night studying what made him unique. Toby was staring at you when you had told him about it (he wanted to lock you in his room, and never let u leave after you admitted it).

How about high school?

WEELCOME TO YOUR HIGH SCHOOL ERA.

You’re all in the same main class, but you have certain classes which separate you.

It’s a private school so any bullying towards Toby is less common, but he has an entire group basically against him being in the school (they find him really annoying and not worthy of attending their school)

Lyra and Toby are taller than you now. About a head taller. Yup, a COMPLETE switch up from middle school. They tease you about this, ESPECIALLY Toby.

‘’Why are you so short, hu-huh??’’ And he’s grinning like a maniac. Hit him and he’ll laugh.

He’s much bigger now since he was quick to get himself involved with the gym on his campus and a LOT of outdoor activities. It helps him vent out his anger and frustrations. Did I mention he does a lot of wood chopping? He’s fascinated by hatchets. . . Wow! Wonder how that’s gonna affect him in the future.

Lyra’s the popular girl! But she’s kind and awesome,and she makes sure to bring you to every party she has access to. You two party a LOT. If Toby joins, it’s to be you and Lyra’s body guard. He doesn’t know what to do at parties and sorta just stands there beside you waiting for suggestions. Eventually he’ll loosen a bit up.

Lyra’s a cheerleader and you’re her biggest fan. You shout the loudest from the crowd during her performances, ‘’that’s MY girl!’’ And shit everyone thinks you’re dating now??

She had to clarify that you weren’t dating on her twitter. People were both surprised (and disappointed). Toby spammed L to those who said homophobic shit. He gets into arguments on twitter a LOT.

Speaking about arguments, Toby gets more physical as years pass. It’s not uncommon to be wrestled by the guy. He loves asserting any and all power over you. Why? Cause he’s a jerk and he craves your full attention at times. YOU’LL NEVER WIN SORRY THAT GUY IS INHUMANELY STRONG. Never does it to Lyra though. She can smack him and he won’t raise a finger.

Toby’s still reserved but more confidently now. He’s not reserved in the way that, ‘look at that guy, what a loner!’’ It’s more, ‘’yeah I’m not gonna mess with that guy he’s kinda weird’’. He likes it that way. Toby wants only to be around you and Lyra, anyway.

YOU HAVE A LOT OF FRIENDS THOUGH. (Toby’s secretly tweaking at that). You spend a lot of time with them but make sure to fill in on Toby’s needs. Your main is Lyra and Toby though.

How are you in class?

Lyra and you, to your parent’s delight, are the golden students. You excel in every subject, except German. It’s so difficult??

Toby corrects you during german class. He turns around on his chair to face you. ‘’It’s ich not ish. Wow, since when was I - don’t throw! - so smart?’’

He says that because he sucks in basically every other subject (except p.e, which is optional). He targets the hell out of you if you join p.e. You’re backed into a wall and he’s standing in front of you with a ball in his hand. ‘’Run, come on! Want to see how you’d -wow!- escape this.’’ Anyway back to German class. Toby will tell you to say certain phrases.

‘’Say ich liebe dich’’ . You stare at him and raise your eyebrow questioning him with the look on your face. ‘’Come on, juh-just do it!’’ He’d roll his eyes at your stubbornness. After you do it, he smiles. He makes. A heart with his hands and winks at you. ‘’Ich liebe dich auch.’’

After you found out what he meant through studying in class, you were like ????? Lyra giggled.

NGL you two are in a situationship. None of you are adressing the tension. When Lyra asks Toby about it he’s like, ‘’can’t a guy tuh-tease his - My girl! Woo, She’s my girl!- … Shut up! Damn.’’ He was saying that to his tourettes more than Lyra. His ears were RED.

Tbh she’s curious about how far your relationship would go.

Summary: YES, the proxy concept still exists. Toby doesn’t get his position as a proxy til LATER. Basically me just messily writing about the AU a bit at like 1 am 😭 I’ll write a fic version later. . . Slice of life? Sorta.

To note: Toby’s vocal tics are in cursive (I’m basing him off a friend irl with tourettes) tics are written: - like this - and he tics in a way that sometimes affects his speech: speaks ‘’luh’- tic - like this.’’ Lyra, Toby’s sister is still alive (SHE’S GOATED AND YES DON’T DISMISS HER AS A SIDE CHARACTER.).

So i think all batboys sort of use all love languages, but in varying levels

Dick Grayson

 words of affirmation,- very direct and upfront with words, confident and very charming. Even him being vulgar is like charming . Its almost like practiced ease but its so personalized that it works. It is a little basic though. Likes it a lot when you do it too. appreciate that beautiful wonder boy please.

quality time,- He tries so hard but with his responsibilities its tough. He craves getting adventures or doing some activity together but after a really long time apart he just wants to cuddle with you in a park or hill and talk.

physical touch,- yes. no hesitation yes. he loves it , knows just how to use it. Its like he can read your mind because he knows exactly what you want and when you want it. prefers giving over receiving .

acts of service- also big yes. Since he cant give enough quality time, what is one strong way he can show how much he loves you. also very caretaker vibes..like a mother hen. Wants to tie your scarf, wash your hair, tie your shoelace to something like staying up making you food and giving you stress release hugs during exam time. "why would you want to do something when I can do it for you babe" . Will die if you do even the littlest thing gushing and telling you just how much he appreciates it.

receiving gifts- Second Best gift giver , its like a perfect mix of expensive and personal and he just loves spending on you. but prefers spending on memories more than materialistic stuff . Will cherish your gifts forever and very vocal about it.

Jason todd

 words of affirmation,- sucks at it, but he will quote you book lines when the mood is vulnerable and quiet in the night and he is really in his safe space. Which is unique and very personal . Also very vulgar and straight up in dirty talk. Will blush-glitch-brush off any sweet thing you say to him.

quality time- yes. like yes all the time just stick your skin to him will not leave you side. wants to be with you alone forever doing nothing at all just loving and its literally to an obsessive level

physical touch- made a separate post on this in detail

acts of service- its very subtle, he will never tell you about . may even deny doing it and for a while you probably thought it was a ghost. If you do anything for him, will just stare but inside his head its like an explosion...like imagines a loud screaming todd running around

receiving gifts-very sweet personal gifts . lowkey sucks at giving gifts on special occasion but gives awesome random gifts. Give him anything and its him malfunctioning ...like you saw him actually stutter 9times in a row" uh-wha-for me-why-uh-th-than-thanks-i mean- i-uh-i-uh-yea bye"

DICK GRAYSON X Y/N ( FRUSTRATED ME EDITION)

- first of all , he is the hottest character in dc (literally the comics have written this line by line)

- he is the real one with communication issues. You think jason struggles with that? NO jason uses any chance to tell me people how much he suffered. But dick? He wears a smile, he hides everything he is feeling

- the only person who gets to see the real him is YOU. The stress, the pressure, the mommy daddy issues...cmon. and bruce prolly was the worst at raising grayson and learned from his mistakes for the rest

- dick is someone who tries to be happy. Who tries to have a normal life. Who tries not to let his issues affect him . But they do which is why he has so many fucked up relationships. But when he meets you he wants to keep you, he needs to keep you with him. So he tries yet again to open up, fix his issues, love you the way you truly deserve.

- AND let us all not pretend we are all not stressed asf in life. He is so joyful and bright and will almost never dull the mood. Car karaoke ? Done. Skinny dipping in some random lake you drive by? His suggestion. Amusement parks? He is excitedly pulling you to all the rides and WILL 100% WIN YOU THE BIGGEST TEDDY

- he is deep, he js in touch with his feelings and he knows how to take care of you. Idk abt u guys but I have issues . I want a man who gives you those words of affirmation, who makes it super obvious he likes you.

- he needs you just as much as jason or tim or damian do. He also never had genuine love, he also has been a soldier a leader the person responsible all his life. He needs yo hold you, he needs that peace and quiet away from everything he has to deal with . He wants someone he can come home to and just show how drained he is .

- he is so kind to the world but he WILL BURN IT FOR YOU . I refuse to believe any other opinion on this. No matter how big a hero this guy is...remember how he killed joker for jason? Someone he said he hated? Broke the no kill rule?? Yea imagine what he will do for you.

- and how dare u suggest he isn't jealous/ possessive. He gets so cranky..not insecure and u don't have to coddle him and avoid all other men ...but u do have to give him extra kisses

-HE IS THE REAL GREEN FLAG fuck the whole " a hero will sacrifice you for the world but a villain will burn the world for you" NOT HIM NO HE WILL KILL EVERYONE OKAY cuz how date anyone suggest taking you away from him after everything he has done for the world. You are his reward and you better remember that.

- slow waltzing in the kitchen while he sings you his favorite love song, giggling in a pretty cafe while sharing a piece of cake( he is feeding you the whole thing and will kiss you when u Ask why he isn't eating any himself) , getting tipsy and walking back home all sweet and drunk and in love. He is adventurous and wants to experience everything With you.

- best part, everyone around u will love him. I'm sorry but I like it when my bf is liked by the old ladies and my parents and my boss. He will make you the power couple, even if you aren't as "powerful". He is your biggest loudest supporter always. Always introducing you to ppl as if you cured world hunger , telling everyone just how smart and kind you are taking any opportunity to talk about You. And dancing with him at galas makes you feel like a princess

- he will get the best gifts, say the sweetest things, be the most supportive kind eyes only for you guy once he genuinely falls in love.

also you are an amazing writer and incredibly creative whoever the douchebag who stood you up is doesn’t deserve you so get yourself a better man bc if anyone deserves it it’s you<3

so yeah that’s the end of my little rant and feel free to just ignore this ask, put yourself first!

-A ❤️
