Dick knew that part of ‘everything’ too. Tim doesn’t know why he’s surprised, really, but he’s almost disappointed in himself for not camouflaging better. If he’d tried harder, Dick wouldn’t be twitching so hard.
Kon’s death is the reason. It screwed up everything. Made it so much harder to hide one stupid crush when everything was flattened by the blast like the trees in Tunguska.
Tim puts his head down. Whatever the spasm was, that’s the involuntary response. Dick has a choice, and he can just choose to support Tim’s narrative. Then no one has to be uncomfortable or deal with anything. “The only truth that matters is the one everyone wants to hear.”
