midnight texting


The Midnight Texting Meme

It's the middle of the night and you're trying to catch some z's — or brooding alone in the alleys, as one does — when your phone dings and suddenly a stranger or a friend is texting you. What could they possibly want at this hour? Is it important? Stupid? Are they drunk or maybe just needy? Do they need help hiding a body??? Pick up your phone and find out!

Rules:

● Post with your character's name and canon on the subject line, indicate preferences as needed
● Tag others
● Have fun!

[ The idea of Jeremiah picking flowers oh-so-carefully and arranging them just so on his doorstep shouldn't make Bruce's heart ache in his chest, but it does and for a long moment he doesn't respond as he makes his way inside. Then, the silence breaks. ]

My mother used to gather flowers from the grounds and bring them into the house every morning. She had different arrangements for different days.

[ They're wilted and dead but Bruce has the roses propped up delicately in a glass. Every time he touches them a petal crumbles under his touch. ]

[ Just as he begins to believe the silence will hold, his phone stirs—a single chime, a single word from the only voice he still cares to hear. Jeremiah exhales. Softly. As if releasing a breath he hadn't realized he was holding.

The blueprints are folded. The dossiers set aside. Photographs, receipts, fragments of Gotham’s skeleton—all left to gather dust a little longer, because nothing else compares. Not to this.

Not to him, his dearest, darling Bruce. ]


Tell me about them.
Which were your favorites?


[ A beat later. Quickly, because he fears Bruce will remain as delightfully reserved as ever: ]

Why?
