SUMMARY: Snuggles and sleepy sexytimes.
FORMAT: Quickpara.



It was the end of another night's patrol - productive, but not especially striking. It was sort of nice to just deal with muggers and would-be convenience store robbers rather than insane villains with deadly toxins or giant mutant monsters; well, maybe not nice, but certainly more relaxing. Tim was sure that it wouldn't be long before someone did something more stressful, though whether it would be someone like the Joker coming out of the woodwork, or just a pack of ninja cultists (was pack the right plural term?) causing problems...

He shook his head as he headed back to his room for the night - he'd almost chosen to climb back in through the window, to draw less potential attention, but that might have been unnecessarily avoidant of him. Besides, he was quiet enough not to wake up anyone who was sleeping already. Unless they had super hearing, of course, but even then it shouldn't have been a problem.

Once he was safely in his room, he stripped out of his uniform and climbed into bed, ready to fall asleep.

Oh, super-hearing was involved.

Just not the way most people would think at first. Several things need to be considered. First of all, Kon's patrol ended two hours ago. He doesn't like flying around in cities after everyone goes to bed. No lights from the high rises = increased chance of flying into a bird. He's convinced that every girl he's ever met would hunt him down if he killed a dove or something.

Also, he gets tired and actually admits to it unlike some of his nutty friends. So he went home, set his new alarm clock, pushed the volume almost as low as it would go, and went to bed.

Three hours later, he was woken up by (what was to him) an earsplitting buzzing sound. After smashing the clock in the process of finding the snooze button, he drug himself out of bed. Scrubbed at his face with his hands, trying to connect the dots between awake-dark-don't-wanna-be-awake. And then it clicks. There's a good chance Tim's back at the tower by this time.

He fumbled his way through the hall, which was still brightly lit in a hideous contrast to the darkness of his room. Stood outside of Tim's room, straining to hear breathing on the other side. Stupid sound-proofing. Kon tried the door, relieved when it opened. He's back in the dark and shut the door to keep the annoying light out. He can make out a Tim-sized lump in the bed through the bright spots clouding his vision and crawls in bed beside it, ready to go back to sleep.

When Kon crawls into bed next to him, Tim is awake enough to start processing it - he may not have super hearing, but he's learned to be a light sleeper, and the noise of his door opening and closing again is enough to make him stir even before the disturbance of an extra person climbing into bed. First comes the jolting reaction, a reflexive wake up! and danger assessment that quickly fades as he recognises the particular warmth and feel of Kon's body next to his.

That level of recognition could be classed as creepy, but really it's just a by-product of his training and the amount of time he's spent in close proximity to Kon. ... Alright, so it's still a little creepy, maybe.

He rolls over to face Kon and just squint at him, a little blurrily, in the darkness. "Mm, hey."

He didn't mean to wake Tim up, but his brain is too fuzzy with sleep to apologize for it. Kon throws an arm over Tim and shifts closer, stealing more of a pillow in the process. "Hey."

He nuzzles against Tim, stealing a kiss that's lazy and light. "I wasn't sure if you'd be awake."

It's not that hard to steal a kiss from him, and he makes a quietly contented noise, smiling slightly. He brings his hand up to rest on Kon's side, snuggling into his hold.

"More like I wasn't completely asleep - I didn't wake you up when I came in, did I?"

[iamnotthemom.livejournal.com]

It's not. But Kon likes to anyway. He likes to think there's one way to surprise Tim. Don't burst his bubble.

"Nah, I was awake." He doesn't like the lie, even if it's a white lie, but 'I set my alarm so I could come in here and see if you were back. And not stabbed 8 times' sounds way too neurotic. And a little dorky.

Hey, physical affection is one of those things that can actually surprise Tim. He's just expecting it from Kon more often than not, and more importantly, welcoming it from him too.

"Hm." Something about that doesn't ring quite right, and Tim frowns just slightly, shifting easily into worried mode, if only a little. "You couldn't sleep?"
