Eskimo heart

WHO: Tim and Danny
WHERE: Titans Tower
WHEN: Late-ish Tuesday I think so I can squeeze Beetle-chan in beforehand
WARNINGS: A Bat-load of angst and description of injuries.
SUMMARY: Tim got stabbed and is trying to say he's fine! Danny is back to an adult and not buying that for a second! Somebody's getting mothered here.
FORMAT: Quick log

[Tim was tired and sore, worn out more emotionally than physically, and obviously Danny had picked up on it in his voice. He should have stuck with text replies like when he first posted, but talking was a lot easier - and less prone to morphine-induced typoes.

So Danny was coming over, and soon he'd get to know just what a Bat-fine was. Tim sighs and settles himself on the couch - he still has to lay face down, which isn't going to help him cushion the true extent of his injuries - more comfortably, and waits. Danny is programmed into the Tower security by now, so he won't have to wait for Tim to let him in.]

[Danny chuckles awkwardly.]

Well. At least you're feeling better, it seems.

[A not very subtle attempt to change the subject.]

Ah, yeah. I really am - I mean, the painkillers were helpful, but it'll be nice to move around properly again.

[Hmm. Short pause, and - well. He can ask, it can't be any more awkward than SO HOW WAS THAT HELL TORTURE.]

So. How are things with you and Jason?

I don't know. Haven't seen him in awhile. Not since he was a kid, at least.

[DOES NOT GET WHAT YOU ARE IMPLYING, TIM.]

Ah. I don't remember much about when he was a kid - not at all, really. From here, anyway.

[MAYBE HE SHOULD DROP THE IMPLICATIONS.

BUT WHO ARE WE KIDDING, IT'S TIM.

Innocently] So you haven't kissed him again?

[MY GOD THANK GOD THAT COUCH IS THERE BECAUSE OTHERWISE DANNY WOULD HAVE FALLEN ON TOP OF YOU TIM. HOLY SHIT--]

Where did that come from!? --I mean! Ye--NO. No, we haven't... Why are you asking that?!

[IT'S A RISK HE'S WILLING TO TAKE. ALSO WAY TO BE SUBTLE, DANNY.]

Familial concern. Your kiss did undo the spell on him, after all. Some people might call that encouragement.

[B|]

How do you know about the kiss?

[B)]

You just confirmed my suspicion.

[goddammit. Pushing your head lightly in retaliation.]

I didn't confirm anything. Now shut up and lay still.

[And now he's trying to chi up his hands but it's not really working because now that kiss is on his mind. Which is so wrong, because he has Misty back home and he loves Misty and that kiss should not have felt that nice. Or tasted that nice. Or have been that nice in general...]

[Tim just smirks and lies still, in silence.

Until he notices the distinct lack of chi healing going on, at which point he looks back up at Danny.]

You know, if you need a moment, I'll be fine.

[A slight pink stains his cheeks. He scowls at Tim and chi's his hands up.]

I was distracted by you talking.

[Even though he'd been quiet right then, Danny?]

Mhmm. Sorry.

[He turns and stops looking at Danny. And then, in that casually innocent way that is going to kill someone, possibly him, some day:]

Was it your first time kissing a guy?

[He stiffens, the pinkish tint darkening slightly.]

I'm not going to answer that.

[Tim hums lightly.]

Then I'll just make my own assumptions. Though it would be cute if it was a first kiss, all fairy tale style and everything.

[Finishes healing another wound, moves on. Grumbling and blushing ever so lightly.]

Don't you have other things to think about?

Now that's just mean.

[He gets a little more serious, though - closer to sad, but he's doing his best to block that from his face. He's just relaxed enough from the healing to feel alright with being this open - and this teasing. Knowing that Danny is a good guy helps.]

I always do. This is just a welcome distraction from the current worries of having my evil future running around for everyone to see for a week and then being stupid enough to get myself trapped and tortured by - hm. That Joker-wannabe.

[Alright, he's not doing so well on blocking emotions. DEEP BREATH.]

So humour me.

[It's a long time before Danny replies, and when he does it's softly.]

Once. I kissed a guy once before.

[It's quite obvious he does not want to admit this.]

[Tim was almost at the point of not expecting an answer, the silence is so long. It takes him a little by surprise, and he looks over his shoulder at Danny for a second.

And then smiles faintly.]

It's alright, you know. I'm not going to ask for any gory details.

[A beat.]

And Jason probably won't be jealous.

Jason won't be jealous at all, because we're not. Together.

Okay. I'm not going to ask you if you'd like to be together, either, but I'm going to say that - well, if I'd been more honest with certain people, if I'd been braver about a few things, maybe I would have had what I have here back home. And maybe that's a lesson I won't remember when we go back, but right now it's worth holding onto.

[He sighs and settles back down onto the couch more resolutely - thoughtful.]

It's not always a good idea to assume rejection ahead of time.

I'm not--[An aggravated sigh. He stops healing to run a hand through his hair.] I'm not scared of being rejected. I just don't want to betray my fiancee.

Which everyone seems to forget I have.

[He frowns at Tim sitting up, swatting him on the shoulder.]

And no moving. Makes healing you ten times harder.

Edited 2010-03-10 03:25 (UTC)

Ow.

[Suitably chastised, he stays perfectly still, which... is actually kind of freaky, since he drops himself half-way into meditation to do it. Really quickly.]

Sorry. The human heart can be a mutuable thing, though. I guess it would be easier for you if she was here.

It would, yeah.

[He gets a sort of dreamy smile on his face at that, going back to healing. His chi's a bit warmer now, heated up by his ~~cheesy~~ love for Misty.]

Not sure if she'd like it here, though.

[There's a part of Tim that considers this something of tactical misstep, but he hushes it - it's not as if he's matchmaking Danny and Jason here, after all.]

No? How long have you guys been together?

Since I was... God. [He laughs lightly.] I think I was twenty? Maybe nineteen. Either way, awhile.
