#We were deprived of grandpa Jason
Text
This may sound strange. But Jason would've been a bomb grandpa to his grandkids. Yk that one grandpa who has the most gut wrenching, earth-shattering stories which will be said in such a calm tone, and to which his grandkids would just go "???" Yes. Jason is that grandpa.
I mean, even in canon, bro legit had a vision of himself being an old man yapping stories to his grandchildren and they were telling him to stop capping, while he was just downright offended that they thought he's lying. So you just KNOW it's true 😭
Also, You cannot tell me Jason wouldn't be included in one of those "My grandpa in his 20's" videos to which the comments would go "I was born in the wrong generation" or "can your grandma fight?" Lmao

I’ve tried putting up something about this on facebook, but the comments and messages I got from “well meaning friends” were...well...distressing to say the least. Especially considering they only know small bits about what’s going on, the bits that I’ve told them. So, I need to drop some facts about some shit that’s been happening the last two weeks. 
Two weeks ago, exactly, I had to work a Saturday shift at work. All three shifts did. There was no escaping it. Second shift loud mouth stayed to try and help us and at 4:30 when Jason came in, she split, went and cornered him about me, and when I left that morning Jason gave me his phone number and told me if I wanted to give him a call sometime...
I was ecstatic! We spent pretty much all day Saturday and Sunday texting each other and getting to know each other. We talked Monday at work, texted Monday after he got off work. This became the norm very quickly. We literally have become incapable of going a day without texting or talking to each other. Towards the end of last week he drop the other shoe I’d been waiting to hear fall, and that was a text that said “Truthfully, I’m single cause I choose to be, I’m not ready for a relationship yet. I’m just trying to take care of myself and be the best dad I can be.” I kinda saw it coming, but it still hurt, but at the same time, in the same text he told me I didn’t have to back off (my flirting) and he really didn’t know what I could screw up (I’d sleep deprived texted him telling him how terrified I was of screwing things up with him, that’s what prompted his confession of being single cuz he chose to be). Still, even with that, things haven’t changed. We see each other at work, we smile at each other, we talk, we joke, we spend time with each other at work if we can, and after work I usually lose at least an hour’s worth of sleep cuz I’m staying up so he and I can text each other. For the most part, we tell each other “sweet dreams” when one of us is heading to bed (aka, when I’m heading to bed), and always tell each other “See ya in the morning!” We’ve talked each other down from quitting. He gave me permission to hug, which I’ve tried very hard not to abuse, and permission to steal his hat and glasses if I find them lying around while he’s in the freezer working. He lets me borrow his freezer gloves if I have to do any amount of work in the freezer for longer than just a couple seconds, and if he doesn’t need them, and he’ll play around with me when he’s in the cooler and we’ll pick on each other and crack each other up and it’s fantastic. 
We know so much about each other now, even after just two weeks of talking/texting. I know that he’s 37, born and raised in San Antonio, TX, spent a lot of time in Alabama with his grandpa though. His mom was a single parent and his dad wasn’t in the picture a lot, but still did what he could to support Jason and his brother. His brother is 2 years younger than him, and they’re close af. He also has a half brother who is 12 years younger than him who he’s never actually spoken to. I know that he moved to Illinois in 2007, and I’m assuming it wasn’t long after he moved here that he met and married the woman who is now his ex-wife. I know he has two kids, a daughter who is 8 and his son is 7, and he gets them every other weekend, and that he thinks the world of them (enough so that just today he and his daughter went out shopping while her brother was at a sleepover birthday party, and Jason dropped $300 on clothes for her. No, he really doesn’t have that kind of money, but he did it anyway). I know that he’s been so close to quitting at work that he stormed out one day and management stood at the door just to make sure he’d come back. He’s got such a damned sense of responsibility at work, that he’s been there a year and two months now, and has NEVER missed a day of work. He’s never called in sick, or taken a vacation day, nothing. He has his kids until Monday this week, and he still texted me saying he might not be into work on Monday, “unless [he] can find a babysitter”. That’s how strong a sense of responsibility he has. I know he played baseball in college, though he never finished college, and that he can see far away without his glasses on but not up close. I know that he got his license suspended two years ago for DUIs he’d had when he was younger and didn’t do anything about, and he’ll get his license back in a year. He plays video games when he gets the chance, which given how crazy work has been for him lately, isn’t very often anymore. 
We don’t see each other outside of work. Not for lack of trying on my part, he’s usually just got something going on already, or he’s got his kids. Last weekend he did finally invite me over at like 8:30pm, but like a dumbass, he went inside and left his phone in the garage, so never saw me say it’d probably be 9:30 before I got there, depending where in Aurora he lived. So, no, I don’t even know where he lives or anything. We literally just text each other. The most physical contact we have is when I hug him at work either when I’m heading out for the night/day, or when I’m about to lose my mind and need that little bit of grounding to keep me sane; or when he comes in for labels and playfully bumps his shoulder into mine or something. That’s it. That’s the extent of our physical contact. This is important to remember. Keep this in mind. 
Last night he and I were texting and we spent a good long while making each other laugh with ridiculously empty threats about what would happen to him if he came into work Monday morning instead of calling off so he can spend more time with his kids. The talk turned a little real and then all of the sudden I’m flying sky high and utterly speechless and ready to burst into tears when he sends me a text saying, “Sometimes I fly by you in the lift and I just give you a look and you smile and it makes me feel better.” I sat there staring at my phone, on the verge of tears, unsure of how to answer for the longest time. During that time, he sends me another text that had me crashing back down to reality, “I don’t want to upset you, but you know I’m not looking to date right now”. It hurts being reminded that he’s not looking for a relationship right now, or to date right now. He’s told me a couple of times he’s just not ready to yet. He wants to focus on himself and taking care of his kids, and I get that. It still hurts a bit, but I get that. 
I posted on Facebook last night after this happened, asking if I was just setting myself up for heartbreak by holding out a small bit of hope on that “right now” changing, was I completely hopeless? We’re friends, there’s absolutely no doubt about that now, we’re very much friends, and I’ve told him I’d rather have his friendship than nothing at all. I’m kind of a little attached to him. We at least know pretty much where we stand with each other. After I posted my question and concern on Facebook, suddenly I’m getting all kinds of “well meaning friends” commenting and messaging me telling me yes, you’re being a fool. Guys who play the “not ready for a relationship card” are always only using it so they can have all the benefits of being a boyfriend, without being tied down to you. They use that card basically so they can have sex without being committed to you. Move on. Ignore him. Cut him out of your life right now. Don’t get your hopes up cuz you’re only gonna get hurt by him. But...like...what if he’s NOT using that line as an excuse? He and I aren’t sleeping together (even though one of my co-workers is convinced we are). I’ve already explained our extent of physicality with each other. What if he really means it, that he’s not ready for anything because his marriage ended rather recently. Which, I’m pretty sure it did. Am I still a fool for holding out hope? Knowing what I do about him and given we’ve only hugged maybe three or four times -- all times initiated by myself?
I don’t know. I told myself today I wasn’t going to text him, just to test the fact that we can’t make it a day without texting. A little after 2pm I got a text from him asking how my day was going. This doesn’t really sound like a guy who is just interested in sex, even if he did send me a text yesterday afternoon that was sent out of his own sleep deprived insanity as part of a joke we’d been teasing about most of the day (”I do dangle though lmao” ...yeah, he made a dick joke. What guy doesn’t?).  I dunno. I just...I wanna hold out that hope, cuz I really like him, and the more I learn about him, the harder I fall. 
I just dunno....

oh my god. IM IN LOVE WITH YOUR TERRIBLE TWO HEADCANONS DJDJDJJDDKDB please write more! I'm already deprived !!
(SHIT I ACCIDENTALLY EXITED OUT WHILE TYPING FML)Okay okay so might in all reality write a fic for this? Idk man, but for now head canons galore
Alfred:
YEP AFTER YEARS AND YEARS I FINALLY MAKE ONE FOR HIM
Our beloved butler.
God you’re like a tiny Bruce.
He’s always there for you 24/7
When you’re about to do something bad somehow he stops you just before it happens.
Dude it’s like he can read your mind.
Nah, he just knows all the tricks(have you seen the amount of kids that come into the manor??)
Every time Bruce is having a heart attack cause he can’t find you, Alfred is the go to.
He just knows everything.
“Alfred have you seen-”
“They’re with Master Dick, he quote on quote ‘stole’ them to take them to a carnival”
As i said, he’s the one to put his foot down with things.
I mean, he won’t yell at you heavens no but he will scold you.
He makes sure you eat proper meals and only offers the healthiest snacks.
He also remembers what veggies you like or dislike as well.
Okay so one time for his birthday the boys bought a mug that said “World’s Best Grandpa” and they gave it to you and you waddled up to Alfred to give it to him and it was the cutest thing this man has ever seen.
“My, this is…this is lovely! I…thank you all”
He kisses your forehead and hugs you.
And all the boys as well.
Bruce:
Okay so he once caught you on his desk with his cowl on and you were crossing your arms trying to look scary and it was adorable.
“I’m…Batman!”
Cue the “aw’s” from all of the batfam.
One time you lost your favorite stuffed animal and Bruce literally gathered up the whole Justice league just to find that thing.
Let’s just say you were more interested in Wonder Woman than the stuffed animal she held.
Diana adored you from that moment.
“A baby!! Glorious day! She is ever so precious!”
So you just reach your tiny arms out for her and she picks you up.
Diana tucked you into bed that night too.
Not many kids can say that Wonder Woman is basically their aunt lol.
Bruce makes sure to keep you out of harms way
If at any point you want to join the vigilante career he will decline.
He will not let you not over his dead body. You’d have to sneak your way past all of the batfam to be a vigilante
Of course, you have the stubbornness of your father, so they reluctantly let you do what you want.
Remember that time they said he trained Tim harder than any Robin he ever had?
Well let’s just say, he trained you harder.
He did not want you getting hurt out there.
Thankfully, you are only two right now.
He doesn’t have to worry about that just yet.
He more worried for when you hit your teens
Dick:
Rainy days are best with him.
He’ll take you out to splash in muddy puddles a lot.
Much to Alfred’s dismay.
Okay so, I feel like maybe all toddlers are afraid of thunder at some point(maybe that just my siblings-)
So whenever it starts thundering, he makes sure to hugs you and pet your hair as you cry out your fear.
Soon enough, you fall asleep through the storm.
Jason:
Reads books to you a lot.
Whenever you read books and you need help with a word he helps you.
Seriously, he will even act out what the word means.
He’s seriously up to play the bad guy in any of your little fantasies.
“Jason! Dragon!”
“Hmnm?Oh oh Alright gotcha”
Tim:
I feel like he’s really good at multitasking so he’d be able to work while teaching you.
“One~ Jason behind you.”
“Two!”
“Uh huh good, what comes next? Dick turn the corner and there should be three armed thugs.”
“Four!”
“Good, wait no that’s wrong. No I’m not talking to you Demon Spawn. I’m talking to our sister”
“Hi Dami! Hi!”
“…___ says hi. Also I’d advise you to watch your step”
Damian:
"Don’t touch my sister Kent."
“Damian we were only-”
“She’s my sister only i should be allowed to converse with her”
Cue eyeroll.
(oMG WHAT IF WAIT NOPE We’ll save that for the next headcanon idea-)
Sometimes he just takes you for walks around Gotham when he’s bored.
He loves to take you to petting zoos too.
Teaches you a lot about the animals there.
Also tries to teach you how to properly kill a human but we won’t go there-
