[ Dick will have endless patience when it comes to Tim, as he hopes is obvious by now, not just through the years theyāve trained and fought by each othersā side, but from what they just did. itās still true now, as he watches Tim thinking through his answer.
itās not an easy question to answer. none of them are good at sharing their vulnerabilities, much less talking about what theyāre scared of. more than Dick, Tim has always done things to prove he was enough, and all that time spent with Bruce didnāt help at all.
however, nothing could have prepared him for the boldness in Timās words next. his eyes widen ever so slightly, the surprise lifting his brows a little as determination sets hard and square on Timās face.
he doesnāt answer right away, and Tim elaborates. ]
I. Thatās-- [ not what he expected. thatās totally what he wants too. thatās a surprise because itās too soon, even though truly, he wants to be with Tim. however, hearing those words uttered from Timās mouth, without him pushing for it, slots right into a void that had been missing for him this whole time. Tim had always been so guarded with what he feels, that even if Dick had a pretty good idea and was happy to volunteer his own thoughts first, the shadow of doubt had still casted strong over that void. but now, Tim is saying this first, and the bravery in that action means more than anything else. ]
Tim, you know Iām shit at relationships butā¦ [ he trails off, a genuine smile melting the corners of his mouth as he presses down against Tim and wraps him up in a tight embrace. he shuts his eyes and kisses Tim, his smile pressing against those lips heās quickly become addicted to. he pulls away just enough to speak. ] If you'll take me like this, then I want you too. I want you to be my boyfriend.
[ Butterflies swarm in Tim's belly, warmth filling every inch of his body. He kisses Dick back eagerly, maybe a little desperate because-- fuck, he hoped he wouldn't be rejected, but he would have been okay. Having Dick say yes is maybe the best feeling he's ever had, and all he can do is grin like an idiot when Dick speaks again. His head tilts like a puppy as he gazes up at him. Does Dick not know how much he admires him? ]
Of course I'll take you like this. I wouldn't change anything about you, Dick. My feelings are because of who you are right now, not who I hope you're going to be.
[ Tim wouldn't have adored him any less if he'd said no. He'd have curbed his romantic feelings, obviously, but Dick would always just be incredible to him.
Another stolen little kiss, breathless but happy. He feels like he could actually giggle. Dick being a sap is rubbing off on him. Tim clings, eyes practically sparkling. He can't help but look like a fool. ]
[ a warm grin spreads across Dickās mouth, barely even able to be contained even when Tim kisses him again. Dick presses even closer, shifting so heās on top of Tim again, his elbows bracing against the mattress as their legs tangle together. he doesnāt know what heās done to deserve it, but hearing those words from Tim fills him in a way heās always yearned for.
someone who accepts him wholly how he is. as imperfect as he is. as fucked up as he isā¦ and the look in Timās eyes, so happy and adoring. he steals another kiss, deeper this time, before he sneaks a leg between Timās.
good thing they havenāt showered yet. ]
Yeah, okay. Good plan.
[ the words are spoken murmured into Timās lips, lower in his tone with a promise laced in his voice. theyāll just stay here forever, because forever is how long itāll take him to kiss every inch of Tim Drake, to commit every dip and plane of muscle to his memory, to finish tasting every single ounce of his new boyfriend. ]
