He’d only seen ones like these a few times: amongst the fields of Elysium and in his mother’s garden up on the surface.

Summary
Dick’s thing for redheads was a well known fact, but the batfamily didn’t think it would extend this far. But Dick had a habit of dropping off the radar after scuffling with the Red Hood, and, well, Hood was a redhead, literally.
Jason would like his brother to stop flirting with him. Please and thank you.
Or 5 times the batfamily thinks Nightwing has a thing for Red Hood, +1 time they know the truth.
