Tim "shows his love through food" Drake:

Steph’s got a bad cold, and I thought I would try to make some chicken soup to bring to her in the morning.

I’m headed back to the manor to make Bruce dinner.

I want to really show you how much you really mean to me. Which is why I'm giving you this. It’s supposed to say “Happy First Pride,” but it had a rough journey getting here. And I baked it myself, so it wasn’t all that pretty to begin with, to be honest.

And his boyfriend, future chef and all around food enthusiast, Bernard Dowd:

You're going to be a great chef.

The chef, Will Trench, he's been on Battle Cooks. He grew up all over, so the food is influenced by different cultures, but he's most interested in the produce of the area, so you'll notice a lot of morels on the menu.

(From Robin #102, Robin #163, DC Pride 2022 #1, and Tim Drake: Robin #7.)

I feel so lucky to be with Tim. And this way, no mater where he is in Gotham... as Tim or as Robin... I can be his lucky charm, too.

The only way to save her... is to sacrifice myself. / Tim takes care of everyone... but sometimes he needs someone to take care of him. / I thought I needed to make my way in the world alone. I thought I was alone. But I'm not. None of us are. Sometimes you have to accept that you're loved. Sometimes you have to accept that you're home.

These people, they teach me every day how to be more and more myself. That there is no such thing as a good choice or a bad choice. Because every choice led me to this one. Right here.

I'm not dense. I play like I am, though. Easier that way. Means no one pays attention to me. But Tim does. I see it, out of the corner of my eye. He's waiting for me to say something. Maybe he wants me to know. But until he says something, I'll keep his secret.

Tim's a good man. A good Robin. He's managed the dual identities well. He's taken steps recently to discover what he wants in life... and how to be happy.

It's been almost a year since— Since I almost died? Since they convinced me the pain would make me feel better? Since I almost let them take my life because I didn't think I was worth anything? [...] I don't know anything. I don't want to know anything. I don't talk about that time. Not with anyone. There's only one good thing that came out of that time. My boyfriend, Tim Drake. Otherwise, there's nothing to be said about it.
