OMG *MELTS* Jason! And Tim! *Wibbles* Poor sweet boys! They should have been friends, damn it all! Can you imagine how much happier both of them would have been? *Sniffles* You're awesome.

[the_protagonist]

I know! They'd have been so. much. happier!

*smooshes them together*

Psh. What? You're awesome.

Thanks for reading, lovely.

You're just enjoying breaking my heart lately, aren't you? ;_; This was perfect, and also heartbreaking.

[the_protagonist]

Would you believe me if I said that I didn't realize how sad this was until the end? Cause I only wrote it with the intension of wondering if Tim and Jason could have ever met before this whole Robin nonsense.

I'm glad you liked this one, love. Thanks for reading!

[kirax2]

I can totally see Jason going back and hanging around the store, hoping to run into Tim again. ;_;

I actually cut out a chunk from the beginning explaining how his mom worked there for the holiday season...

"Sorry, Jay. I have to stick around just a few more hours. Monica, that slut, called out "sick" and the bitch-manager from hell says I gotta stay one more hour until the next girl comes in

[thefiretonight]

This was so sweet and sad. They could have been such good friends! Very nice job. :D

[the_protagonist]

I know! Just... in the right circumstance they both could have been so happy!

Thanks for reading, love!

I have a feeling that Timmy was always jealous of non rich kids because they lived in neighborhoods that actually you know had other kids that he could play with. And Jaybird was one of those kids. <3

I always enjoy your fic, even if I don't always comment. [I think this might be the first time, heh. I was such a lurker before rp.]

[the_protagonist]

Aww man, He totally was! Tim would have definitely benefited from having another kid in the neighborhood to possibly lessen some of the kids more obsessive behavior, lol.

*blushes*

Thank you so much! Lurking is so fun to do, but this fandom has a way of sucking you in and demanding participation, lol. I expect fic from you any day now. :)

I'm so happy that you like everything! It's all so much fun to write!

<3

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. *awwwws forever and ever*

You know I want more, right? >>;; *is greedy and love Jason-Tim interaction, the woobies*

[the_protagonist]

*laughs*

I don't think Jason and Tim meet again until... you know... Jason tries to kill Tim in the Titans Tower.

It'd be interesting to see the conversation where Tim asks Red Hood!Jason about a toy he got all those years ago and a boy he met... >_>

Thanks for reading, love!

[dylogger]

...I'd actually like to see that. >.

[the_protagonist]

hehe.

You're welcome to write it if you feel inspired, love. :)

[saavikam77]

Oh JASON!! *wibble* *wipes tears*

This was so sweet and just the right amount of heartbreaking. Poor shy little Tim, and Jason, only able to *look* at the cool toy that everyone wants. I just love that they hid and played connect four and checkers (my 2 fave games from childhood! ^__^).

*loves, applauds*

(Oh, and Raptor Red is actually a first-person novel about a velociraptor who thinks of herself as Raptor Red b/c her species has a red streak on their snouts; it's wonderfully tragic with even a happy-ish ending, and hits both my love for paleontology and for strong female characters. ^____^)

[the_protagonist]

Yay! I'm so glad that you liked it!

Connect Four was a favorite of mine, too! Was never very good at checkers...

*laughs* Yeah, I read about the summary, but, I just couldn't think of a way to incorporate that into a story. >.< Sounds really cool, though!

Thanks for the cool prompt!
