A/n: So this one is inspired by the Wayne Family Adventures Webtoon ep63: Opposite Day. In that episode, Nightwing and Huntress are bored so they decide to switch weapons in a fight, but the reason they do that is because Huntress was bored and says she was expecting the mission to be fun or something and Dick says something like "Well sorry, can't make it fun but want a lollipop?" Which proves that Dick at least carries around lollipops on patrol - according to the comments on that episode, it's canon that Batman does too? - but it just kind of made me think that (apart from when he's not eating at all) Dick's the kind of guy to always just be snacking.

It started when he was Robin and he found out that Bruce carried around lollipops with him as Batman. As any small child, regardless of whether he was a kid sidekick to a vigilante or not, would probably get bored on stakeouts or some of the less action-centred mission/cases so Dick came up with an idea.

Whenever he was bored, he'd scout out where the lollipops were on Batman's suit and later he challenged himself to try and pickpocket Batman. Except this was Batman he was trying to pickpocket so obviously he gets caught, like a lot. But it was kinda fun in the beginning but then over time it just became annoying and ended up with him frustrated - even though a few times Bruce let him have the lollipop but Dick knew he was letting him so he didn't feel accomplished - and eventually he was bored again. He decided trying to pickpocket Batman for a lollipop was too much of a hassle and a waste of his time, so he came up with a better solution.

He started sneaking his own snacks into his suit, usually candy like lollipops or gummies. He tried to bring chocolate once, but it melted and just made a mess so he stopped doing that. Bruce got annoyed at him once since most candy wrappers were extremely loud to open so Dick started doing his own training on how to open packets and munch on stuff almost silently.

One time, it got him into a bit of trouble though. Bruce and him were scouting out a warehouse or something that had guard dogs. The plan was just to sneak past while the dogs slept, and Bruce got by no problem. But the second that Dick walked past, the dogs perked up, sniffing the air and started chasing Robin. Dick just ran in circles shouting "I know I look delicious but I promise I'm not" or something like that, and Bruce is just watching fromm the side deciding whether to laugh or cry or brood so he just ends up just staring as his ward runs around waving his arms like an idiot.

Eventually, Dick stops running and just talks to the dogs. "You want food? Fine! Take my granola ba- wait, that has chocolate and that's bad for you. Umm… okay, I also have some… uhhh…" The dogs are still chasing him as he frantically searches his pockets for something that the dogs can eat without being poisoned. "Here, take my chicken whizees then," he shouts, tossing them behind him. The dogs stop chasing him and rip into the packet, and Dick sighs.

"See, so much better tasting than me, right?"

Batman decides now's the best time to intervene and he finally just goes over and drags Robin by the cape away from the warehouse since their mission is very probably compromised by now. "Unless you have some more somewhere, we should get going before they decide one packet of chicken whizees isn't enough."

"Hey, B? What else can dogs not have?" Dick asked casually as he's still being dragged behind Bruce like a small child (he is a small child, like maybe ten at this point).

From then on, he carries dog treats too, or at least chicken whizees and it works almost every time as a distraction. Once there are some dogs in the batfam though, he keeps extra for them.

As Nightwing, he doesn't stop keeping snacks with him.

Jason finds this out one day when he's just hanging out with his older brother on a stakeout. Jason's Robin at this point and he was bored so he went over to Bludhaven to annoy Dick who decided to take him on a stakeout with him. They're just hanging out on the rooftop where Dick's sitting on the edge of the building and Jason's still bored so he's wandering around the flat rooftop when he hears a bag of chips being opened behind him, Dick just munching on the chips loudly.

He whips around and just stares at Dick, who just pops another chip casually into his mouth with his full focus on the warehouse. Jason eventually peeks around Dick's shoulder incredulously because he didn't know that vigilantes could have snacks on patrol, especially not noisy ones like chips (Dick's being noisy on purpose so Jason notices). Dick just glances at Jason before turning his attention back to the warehouse, holding the back out to Jason.

"Want some?"

Jason still stares, still trying to figure out this weird occasion. Dick frowns a little and shakes the bag in Jason's direction because he still hasn't answered.

"Where the f-"

"No language, or no chips," Dick states simply, and he takes another chip with the bag still held out to Jason. Jason still is kinda suspicious - because really, where the fuck did Dick hide a noisy bag of chips in his suit without Jason noticing? - but he takes a chip tentatively and sits down next to Dick.

"How do you not get it to make sounds in your suit?" He asks after he's had like three chips.

Dick just grins at him. "I have my ways. And my secret, specially-placed pockets that took me years to perfect the locations of." Because of course, Dick spends the majority of his free time trying to figure stupid little things like that out.

Since that night, he started keeping some of Jason's favourite snacks on him just in case he ever ran into his younger brother. He did spend one night showing Jason some of the secret pockets and doingn challenges to see who could open and eat a pack of chips the quietest.

After Jason died though, for a brief period of time where his grief was still really fresh, Dick could'nt look at Jason's favourite snacks without tearing up a little but he couldn't bring himself to take the snacks out of his suit. One time when he was in a fight, his opponent had a knife and accidentally slashed open that pocket with Jason's snacks in it and Dick beat the guy up really bad.

After the family grew and Jason came back and everything, Dick added more pockets to his suit and now he carries a wide variety of snacks. He has more of others' favourites instead of his own, for joint ops and whatever, but he also does it to make sure his siblings are eating properly. Even if he isn't taking care of himself all the time, he makes sure that at least on missions, his family has food in them.

He has some protein bars, and some stuff with high sugar or calories too in case anyone needs them for health reasons.

A/n: That was a bit of a longer one, sorry, but I couldn't exactly write it as a fic because it didn't really fit like that but I hope you still enjoyed it.
