Bruce doesn't get insecure because another man is richer.
Bruce gets insecure when you look happy.
The kind of happiness that has nothing to do with him.
You come back from lunch with friends and you're smiling.
You tell him some stupid story.
But something cold starts growing inside his chest.
You existed outside his orbit.
And Bruce hates how much that bothers him.
Because he knows it isn't normal.
Love shouldn't feel threatened by independence.
Love shouldn't ache when the person you adore proves they can survive without you.
But Bruce has buried everyone.
Every person he loves becomes a ghost eventually.
So when he sees proof that you have a life beyond him, beyond Gotham, beyond this endless nightmare—
Not because you stopped loving him.
Because one day you realize you can be happy somewhere else.
And Bruce has never been able to compete with peace.
That's why he watches you sleep.
Not because you're beautiful.
Because unconscious, you're still here.
Dick's insecurity comes from being loved too easily.
Nobody talks about that part.
Everyone wants a piece of him.
Eventually he starts wondering if there's anything left that actually belongs to him.
And suddenly he's selfish.
For the first time in his life he doesn't want to share.
Not the version of you that laughs so hard you snort.
That version belongs to him.
At least that's what the ugly part of him thinks.
Then one day he catches you laughing at somebody else's joke.
And something inside him cracks.
Because that's his thing.
Making you look at him like he's sunlight.
And now somebody else did it.
But Dick has spent his entire life being replaced.
The world always keeps moving.
So sometimes he looks at you and sees the future.
A future where you're still smiling.
And he's the only thing missing.
The thought makes him physically sick.
Like mourning a death that hasn't happened yet.
Jason's insecurity smells like blood.
It always comes back to blood.
You touch his face one night.
Just your hand on his cheek.
Like you're handling something fragile.
And Jason almost pulls away.
Because all he can think about is the corpse.
The boy in the warehouse.
The body left in a coffin.
The thing he became afterward.
You look at him like he's a man.
Jason looks at himself and sees a dead dog.
A mistake wearing human skin.
The insecurity doesn't come when another man flirts with you.
Jason can put a bullet through that problem.
The insecurity comes when you're kind.
Because he doesn't understand why.
You should be scared of him.
You should see the violence under his skin.
And every kiss feels like you're forgiving something he hasn't confessed.
Not the fear that you'll leave.
The fear that if you ever really saw him—
And he'd have no right to stop you.
Tim doesn't become insecure.
Insecurity implies uncertainty.
Tim doesn't doesn't understand uncertainty.
You take seventeen minutes longer to answer.
You use a different emoji.
You seem tired around him.
Soon he's drowning in data.
Thousands of tiny details.
Because the truth is simple.
Tim has never believed he was lovable.
Tim isn't convinced that person exists.
So he starts testing reality.
Do you still smile when he's exhausted?
Do you still reach for him when he's quiet?
Do you still love him when he has nothing left to give?
And somehow that makes it worse.
Because if you love him this much—
Then you have the power to kill him.
And Tim knows better than anyone what happens when someone gets access to your weakest point.
Damian's insecurity is almost unbearable to see.
Because it hides under arrogance.
You won't see it at first.
You'll think he's annoyed.
Then you'll realize he's hurting.
Damian spent his childhood earning affection like a soldier earns medals.
One mistake and it vanished.
You loved him on days he lost.
You loved him when he was cruel.
You loved him when he was stubborn.
And Damian never learned how to trust that.
So every time you praise somebody else—
Not because he's jealous.
"What if she sees someone better?"
"What if she realizes I am not enough?"
The grandson of Ra's al Ghul.
Reduced to lying awake at three in the morning listening to you breathe.
Making sure you're still there.
Sometimes you'll wake up and find him staring.
Not because he's being creepy.
Because for one horrible moment he dreamed you left.
And when Damian opened his eyes, he needed proof that reality hadn't followed you out the door.
