#Good boyfriend Kon

[awhitehead17]

It’s not what it looks like!

TimKon, Compromising Positions, Embarrassed Everyone, Injuries, Massages, Humour, Established Relationship, Tim and Kon being good boyfriends.

Summary: As far as first impressions go, Tim and Kon certainly make themselves memorable as not once but twice they’re caught in compromising positions by their dads. Everyone involved is left feeling embarrassed and awkward however at least no one’s completely naked.

Enjoy! :D

“Are you sure about this?”

“Yes. Now shut up and let me concentrate.”

“Tim…”

“Conner.”

Gritting his teeth Kon stops talking and accepts Tim’s reassurance. If his boyfriend is confident then who is he to question him. Although…

“Are you sure your dad won’t come home? This isn’t exactly the ideal situation for him to walk in on right now.”

With an exaggerated sigh, Tim leans back and looks up at Kon from where he’s kneeling on the bathroom floor between Kon’s legs. If it had been any other situation Kon would be salivating at the sight before him, because honestly what’s better than having his attractive boyfriend between his legs, however the deep pulsing and throbbing sensation coming from his thigh makes it hard to think about those sort of things.

Tim reaches out and grips Kon’s twitching thigh and holds it steady as he continues to stare at him, seeming peeved about Kon’s paranoia. “He’s not due home for another couple hours, that’s why we’re here instead of elsewhere. Now stay still and let me treat this.”

Kon hisses when Tim prods the throbbing wound in his thigh. He leans back against the bathtub for support and grips onto the slippery thermoformed acrylic as best as he could. He knows this isn’t going to be pleasant and automatically tenses up when Tim draws near with a needle.

“Kon you need to relax,” Tim tells him softly but firmly.

With his jaw still clenched, he glares down at Tim. “I’m trying. It’s not exactly easy.”

Tim rolls his eyes but momentarily holds off stabbing his skin with a needle, instead he takes to stroking the uninjured muscles of his thigh in attempts to help him relax.

It takes a while but it starts to work and Kon could slowly feel the tension seeping out of his body as he leans more on the bathtub for support. He would love nothing more but to melt into the soothing actions however the deep pulsing of the bleeding wound stops him from relaxing all the way.

Without thinking about it, Kon grumbles in annoyance. “I can think of many better things for you to be doing between my legs right now.”

Tim’s massaging action stops as his boyfriend looks up at him with an eyebrow raised in disbelief. “Oh really? Unfortunately for us someone thought it would be a good idea to listen to a certain ginger when he suggested an insane idea of a dare and ended up hurt instead.”

Okay Tim may have a point there. It is kind of his fault that they’re now in this situation, well actually it’s Bart’s fault they’ve ended up here, their best friend knows damn well that Kon never backs down from a dare no matter how insane or stupid it may be.

They’re lucky Tim knows first aid and has an entire suture kit at home which he can use. As a result of Bart’s dare Kon ended up with a deep wound on his inner thigh which needs to be treated, Tim deemed it large enough to need some stitches and after refusing to go to the hospital his boyfriend offered up his assistance. They ended up coming back to Tim’s house in order to treat it while no one (according to Tim) is home. And that’s how Kon’s ended up partially dressed wearing his t-shirt and boxers with Tim kneeling between his legs so he could see the wound clearly.

While Kon had been lost in his thoughts Tim had gone ahead and started with the stitches. A sharp sting brings him back to the present and it takes all of Kon’s willpower to stop himself from hitting Tim out of pure instinct. Instead he grits his teeth and clenches his fists tightly.

However long Tim stays between his legs stitching his skin up, they seem to both get lost in the moment as odd as it may be. Tim gets into a rhythm that allows his to swiftly stitch up Kon’s wound to his best ability while Kon breathes deeply and tries anything to keep his mind distracted from the sharp throbbing sensation happening in his thigh. The two of them being distracted as they are is probably the main reason why neither of them had heard someone coming home, the reason why they didn’t realise they were no longer alone until the bathroom door is slamming open to reveal a rather concerned Bruce Wayne in the doorway.

The room falls silent as the three of them all freeze. All Kon could do is stare at the man he’s only ever heard about, Tim is frozen in place between his legs with his eyes wide and body stiff with tension and Bruce stands there observing the two of them with what started out as concern before it changes into something of bewilderment then embarrassment.

After several moments of awkward silence the man opens his mouth to talk but it seems like Tim’s also managed to get himself together because he speaks up first.

“I swear this isn’t what it looks like.” Tim mutters still not looking up at his dad.

Bruce, clearly uncomfortable with the situation, clears his throat. “I don’t – I mean you’re…” the man trails off and Kon is left feeling completely baffled because as far as he knew this man never stuttered or looked as unconfident as he does now. Then again it’s probably not every day he walks in on his son and his boyfriend in what looks like a compromising position.

Bruce clears his throat again and straightens up, now seeming much more composed. “There’s blood splattered along the hallway. Is everything alright?” He's now looking apprehensive but the concern for his son can clearly be seen.

Tim finally glances up at his dad, his eyes peeking over the top of Kon’s thigh. “Uh, yeah? Well no. Kon’s injured and I’m stitching him up. That’s what we’re doing, all we’re doing, and absolutely nothing else!”

If Kon wasn’t feeling so awkward and embarrassed he would have both laughed and cooed at the raging blush on Tim’s normally pale cheeks.

Bruce seems to get over his discomfort of the situation at the sound of an injury and steps forward with an almost analytical expression on his face. “What happened and how bad is it? Why haven’t you gone to the hospital?”

The questions are fired at both Tim and Kon and Kon has no idea on how to react. He glances down at Tim, silently pleading his boyfriend to take the lead.

Tim rolls his eyes and turns back to Kon’s wound. “He’s fine Bruce. After refusing to go to the hospital I said I can treat him. I’m done now anyway, just have to bandage it.” He aimed the last part at Kon who could only nod in response.

As Tim reaches for the first aid kit Bruce steps towards them again before stopping. He looks at Kon and gestures to his leg, “I have first aid training myself, may I take a look?”

Not sure if he's able to speak Kon nods stiffly. Tim moves out from between his legs and Kon shifts so the man could see his wound clearly which Tim has now neatly stitched up.

Wordlessly Bruce reaches for the gauze Tim’s got in hand and his boyfriend hands it over. Kon holds his breath and curses at himself when he flinches as the man begins to wrap his thigh with the bandage after he had examined Tim’s work. It hurts but somehow Kon’s got enough self-control to keep himself from verbally sharing his pain.

As if sensing his discomfort Bruce starts talking calmly like there’s nothing wrong or awkward with the current situation they’re in where Kon is half naked in front of his boyfriend’s dad while the man treats his injury as his boyfriend stands to the side wearing a complicated mix of expressions on his face.

“Tim's done a good job of the stitches.” Bruce says conversationally as he starts tying off the bandage. “However, if you still refuse to go to the hospital later on, I would like Alfred to have a look at it after dinner. He has a medical background and is the best out of us to really see how the injury is looking.”

The man finishes off the bandaging and instantly moves away from Kon. He moves about the small bathroom washing his hands before heading for the door. He pauses before leave to throw Tim a look Kon couldn’t decipher. “Dinner will be ready within the hour if you’re both staying.” With that the man exits the bathroom leaving Kon and Tim alone once more.

As soon as he’s gone Kon turns to Tim levelling his boyfriend with a fierce glare. “What the fuck Tim!”

Tim’s instantly defensive and scowls back at Kon. “It’s not my fault!”

“You said no one was going to be home for hours. That is not how I wanted to meet your dad for the first time Tim! What an impression this has been.”

“How was I supposed to know he was going to come home early?”

“I don’t know!” Kon huffs, he slumps against the bathtub feeling the fight drain out of him. He grimaces in pain when a sharp shooting pain travels through his leg.

Seeing this the fight also drains out of Tim. His boyfriend starts moving about the bathroom, cleaning up the medical supplies he used before handing Kon his clothes so he could get changed. After a couple minutes Tim looks over at Kon with a small smile, “y’know it would have been worse? You could have been naked.”

Kon pauses from where he’s weaving his leg through some loose basketball shorts to send Tim a disbelieving look. “Thank god for small miracles then huh?” He deadpans before finishing getting changed.

Once he's ready Tim is immediately at his side, offering him something to lean on as he stands and then together they make their way to Tim’s bedroom. They had used the common bathroom because it’s bigger than Tim’s small ensuite. In hindsight maybe they should have used Tim’s bathroom but it is what it is, Tim did say they would be alone but he's also telling the truth that he couldn’t have known Bruce was going to come home early.  

“So I’m staying for dinner?” Kon questions as they enter Tim’s room. “I’ve already met your dad, may as well get the rest of the family over with today huh?” He lets out a breathless chuckle as Tim helps him sit down on the edge of the bed.

Tim looks thoughtful for a moment before he shrugs. “It’s up to you. You can stay if you want but we can go if you’re uncomfortable. For now it may be best to stay and then Alfred can have a look at the wound before I drop you home tonight.”

Finding that he doesn’t have any energy left, Kon flops backwards onto Tim's mattress and throws an arm over his eyes. He hums. “Yeah that sounds good. It’s already been a helluva day so why not.”

He feels the mattress dip beside him as Tim climbs on and he feels his boyfriend press against his side. Automatically Kon wraps his arm around Tim and draws him in close, while keeping his eyes closed he presses a kiss to Tim’s temple and lets himself relax as best as he could into the mattress knowing this is going to be the only rest he's going to get for the rest of the day until he goes home.

Meeting Clark

From across the room Kon stares at his boyfriend with narrowed eyes, not believing a single bit of spiel coming from his mouth. Crossing his arms over his chest he stares at him determinedly. “Tim are you being serious right now? I know for a fact you’re in pain, and a lot of it, why won’t you let me help?”

His boyfriend sends Kon a scowl, clearly not happy with being called out on his bullshit and rolls his eyes as he settles on the edge of the bed. “I’m fine.” Tim grits out as he shuffles backwards to lean up against the headboard. “I don’t need anything.”

Now being the one to roll his eyes, Kon moves forward until he’s stood beside Tim looking down at him with a mixture of annoyance and concern. Since knowing each other for literal years, plus a few more with them actually dating, Kon knows Tim pretty well by now and can read Tim like an open book in all capital letters, he knows his boyfriend is in pain no matter how well he’s able to hide it.

Bending down Kon braces himself against the mattress with his hands and leans in close to Tim trying to catch his gaze. “You know I can help you, at least for an hour or two so let me do so. You can barely move without wincing or when you do move you walk around like an 80 year old man.”

Tim lets out a snort and meets his eyes. “You just want to get your hands on me.”

The comments makes Kon pause because, well, he’s not entirely wrong but it’s all about the context. Kon wants to help him rather than do anything more carnal.

Shaking his head Kon says, “believe me when I say not this time. I do want to help that’s all, nothing more and nothing less.”

After a few beats Tim throws his head back with a groan. “Ugh fine. Okay, we’ll do it.”

Feeling victorious Kon throws his arms up in a dramatic fashion. “Finally!” He grins at Tim, “now lie down and take off your clothes.”

Tim grumbles but does as he’s told and while he's getting in position Kon wanders over to his draws and digs around for the creams and lotions he keeps there just for this purpose. When he’s gathered the items he needs he goes back to the bed where Tim now lays sprawled out on his front with nothing but his boxers on.

Kon takes a moment to appreciate the view. No matter what he loves being able to see his boyfriend’s body all laid out before him with all that skin on display, however he’s a little distracted by the large splotches of bruising scattered across Tim's back, legs and arms. Some are worse than others, those ones already developed into deep colouring of blues and purples while some are beginning to heal by the colours of browns and yellows. Kon will just have to be extra cautious of the different areas.

He’s broken out of his staring when Tim turns his head and eyes him impatiently. “Well, you’re the one who insisted on this, are you going to get on with it or are you gonna stand there all day?”

Huffing Kon moves forward and gets everything ready so he could get started. As he warms up his hands he sends Tim a look, “y’know not many people would refuse and complain so much about their boyfriend getting their hands on them.”

“Well some boyfriends aren’t such pushy bastards.” Tim retorts as he places his head down on the pillows.

Kon doesn’t give Tim the satisfaction of replying to that comment. Instead, in retaliation, he simply brings his hands down hard onto Tim’s shoulders without warning and digs his thumb deeply into the muscle across his back. It’s only after when Tim hisses and curses at him in response that Kon eases up and begins to properly massage his boyfriend.

The two of them fall silent as Kon works. It’s comfortable and they both know not to expect anything to come out of this other than what it simply was. That lack of expectation makes it easier between them. This isn’t the first time Kon’s done this, by now Kon’s done it more times than he can count and even though it took several attempts for him to get it right it’s been worth it knowing he can help Tim out in this way (no one needs to know how many hours he’s spent researching techniques and seeking out advice to get it right).

Kon works on Tim’s shoulders and back before working on his arms and then his legs. He massages and soothes out the tense muscles across Tim’s body, being extra careful in the tender areas and focusing more on the spots where Tim is the tensest.

Once he’s finished with Tim’s back he gets his boyfriend to turn over so he could work on his front. Tim’s got his eyes closed as he settles into a comfortable position, there’s a ghost of a small smile on his lips and Kon smiles himself, pleased he’s able to help get his boyfriend into a relaxed state.

This time Kon works from bottom up starting with his feet and legs. He couldn’t help but laugh lightly when Tim jerks as Kon’s fingers brush against the arch of his foot. Kon gently works Tim’s calf muscles before moving further up to his thighs, as he does he changes his position choosing to settle between Tim’s legs in order to be able to access both the inside and outside of Tim’s thigh without any struggle.

Kon soon moves on from Tim’s thighs and up to his waist, as he spreads his fingers wide across Tim’s hips he glances up and notices for the first time that Tim has his cracked open slightly and is lazily watching Kon work with a dopey smile on his face. Unable to help himself Kon smiles back and shifts his position once again so he’s bracing his knees into the mattress in order to hover himself over Tim’s body until they’re face to face. Planting both forearms onto the pillow either side of Tim’s head, Kon leans down and covers Tim’s lips with his own.

Tim instantly accepts the kiss and does very little to reciprocate the gesture, therefore letting Kon do all the work, however when Kon pulls back it’s Tim who follows him, his lips seeking out Kon’s despite the indifference Tim had been trying to show. Kon snickers but ducks down to meet Tim’s lips again anyway, always incapable to denying Tim what he wants.

Kon settles more of his bodyweight on Tim, but is careful not to crush him, as they continue to make out. Their kissing never going any further than a firm press of lips and the occasional nip which elicits a low groan from the recipient. As they kiss Kon feels Tim’s arms come up and around him, moments later his hands are stroking across his back in a sensual caress.

It’s easy to lose track of time. Kon has no idea how long they had been making out for but he knows he didn’t ever want to stop, being with Tim like this is one of the best things ever and he doesn’t want it to end. Unfortunately the universe seems to have different plans because the moment between them is violently broken when the door to Kon’s bedroom slams open to reveal his father.

Kon pulls away from Tim and snaps his gaze over to the door and instantly freezes when he sees his dad there looking back at him in what Kon thinks is in embarrassment and shock. After that the two of them seem to be caught in a trap, neither of them being able to move from what is a very awkward moment between father and son. Surprisingly it’s Tim who appears to be the most composed despite his lack of dress and current position underneath Kon. Leaning to the side so he could see Kon’s dad Tim smiles politely.

“Hi Mister Kent, while this is not the way I expected our first meeting to go, it’s a pleasure to meet you.”

How Tim sounds so put together Kon has no idea. It’s only then he realises he’s frozen on top of Tim, he hastily climbs off his boyfriend and settles down on the mattress next to him but not before grabbing a t-shirt for Tim to slip on over his body.

Feeling his whole face heating up, Kon turns to his dad and runs a hand through his hair, unsure on what to say. “Uh, it isn’t what it looks like?” Admittedly it isn’t the best thing to say, especially when he sounds so unsure but Kon’s brain is currently struggling to think clearly.

His dad instantly raises a hand. “No Kon, you have a boyfriend and what you do together is none of my business, I apologize for just barging in but you didn’t answer any of my calls so I got worried.”

If he could go crawl in a hole and die Kon would gladly do so. This is beyond embarrassing. That’s saying a lot considering how he met Tim’s dad a couple months prior.

“Right…” Kon trails off still unsure on how to deal with the situation, “sorry, I was… distracted.”

“I gathered,” Clark points out rather bluntly.

“We weren’t doing anything!” Kon quickly exclaims, feeling the irrational need to explain what was going on. “Tim was feeling sore from his martial arts competition yesterday so I offered him a massage. There’s nothing more to it!”

Opposite him Clark doesn’t look convinced, Kon winces and figures that the position he found them in says anything but innocent. Next to him Tim lets out a snort which he quickly covers up with a cough, Kon turns to the side and glares at him, silently telling him he isn’t helping matters.

“Okay, well, since you’re fine, I’ll pass the message on that we’re getting takeout for dinner tonight so let me know what you want.” Clark’s gaze drifts over to Tim, who doesn’t seem at all affected by the unexpected interruption. “Tim you’re welcome to join us if you have no plans tonight.”

With that Clark promptly leaves his bedroom and shuts the door behind him with an audible click. It takes a moment for Kon’s mind to register that he’s gone but once it does he slaps his hands over his face and falls backwards dramatically onto his bed with a groan.

“Oh my god!”

Tim snickers and Kon lifts on hand in order to glare at him.

“C’mon Kon, it wasn’t that bad. It could have been much worse.” Kon feels Tim run a soothing hand over his arm. His boyfriend then grasps his wrists and tugs his hands away from his face and Kon reluctantly looks at him with a pout.

Tim presses a kiss to each of Kon’s knuckles and Kon finds himself unable to be miserable anymore. He sends Tim a small smile. Sitting back up he says, “Despite not finishing hopefully you’re feeling better than before.”

Tim shrugs and adjusts the t-shirt he's wearing, which happens to be one of Kon’s and is way too big on him but Kon isn’t going to say anything about it, and gets off the bed in the hunt for his jeans he had earlier discarded. “I feel looser but will most likely feel the benefits of it later on.”

Kon nods and also gets up off the bed, as Tim changes he goes about putting everything away and cleaning up. “That’s good. If anything starts to hurt then let me know.”

Instead of verbally replying, Tim's response is wrapping his arms around Kon’s waist from behind and hug him closely. Kon covers Tim's hands with his own and leans back against his boyfriend comfortably. After a moment he turns his head and seeks out a kiss from Tim, nothing more than a peck of their lips.

“We should go downstairs to avoid further embarrassment. I don’t want my dad walking in on us again.”

Tim laughs and lets go of Kon. “Sure, sure. At least this makes us even, I’m pretty sure you meeting Bruce was just as bad as your dad walking in on us like that.”

Kon draws back and sends Tim a look. “Uh excuse me, meeting Bruce like that was probably worse! He bandaged up my thigh! At least Clark just walked away.”

Tim shrugs seeming unbothered. “Hm, maybe. He’s a father of six and seeing his son’s boyfriend injured triggered some parental instinct in him and he wanted to help, not the worst thing in the world. But enough of that, what’s done is done so shall we go before your dad gets suspicious?”

Kon lets out another groan but takes Tim's hands in his and leads the way to his bedroom door. “Let’s get this over and done with. No time like the present.”

a bird in the hand

“Hey uh, can I speak to Commissioner Gordon?” Officer Patricia Nolan looked up from what she’d been doing and stared. “It’s important,” the teen leaned forward conspiratorially, “Bat business, y’know?” The bullpen was always loud but right now it was silent, everyone stopping to watch their visitor. Just her luck Pat’s desk was the first one when you entered.

“Yes, I can see if he’s available,” she said faintly, glancing quickly over at what the boy was carrying in his arm but not sure how to broach the subject. She wasn’t as familiar with the capes as some of the others. “I’ll see if he’s available,” she continued as she picked up the phone on her desk. Her hands did not shake, her voice did not quiver. She was a Gotham City girl through and through, not much rattled her these days. But that’s not to say that the situation in itself wasn’t strange. Matt from from Vice speed walked by and was staring so hard he walked straight into the wall.

“Gordon,” the Commissioner answered with a sigh.

“Hey, It’s Pat Nolan,” Pat began. “You’re needed down in the bullpen, there’s a uh hero who wants to talk to you.” She glanced at the teen who was looking around the bullpen curiously. “It’s not a Bat.”

“Christ,” Gordon groaned. “Well who is it? Nevermind, I’m on my way. Too damn late for this; I thought Batman told all the other capes to stay out of the city?”

“He did, sir but I don’t exactly take orders from Batman,” the boy grinned. Pat gripped the phone a little tighter realizing he could hear Gordon through the phone. “And you probably guessed from the symbol that I’m Superboy,” he lowered his colored sunglasses with one hand. “The Suberboy.”

“Superboy will be waiting for you,” She said dutifully before replacing the phone. “The Commissioner will be down in a moment, do you want to sit?” Pat wasn’t entirely sure how to handle the situation so she just automatically defaulted to polite. It’s the reason her desk was so close to the front. 

“Nah, I’m good plus I gotta hold onto my precious cargo,” Superboy said, giving ‘his cargo’ a light bounce in his arm. Being able to hold that kind of weight singlehandedly without any sort of strain, that kind of alien power you only saw once you crossed the river to Metropolis. 

“Alright, I’m here, what do you- Christ on a Bike is that Robin?” Gordon jolted as he rounded the corner in his rumpled trench coat. “Is he alright?” He said but his tone was calm. Because while it was worrisome that the Boy Wonder was in the station at all, much less being held at Superboy’s hip like a toddler, the kid looked okay. His tights were a bit scuffed and he smelled vaguely of smoke but he looked entirely at ease in the other’s arm. His cheek was resting comfortably in the crook of Superboy’s neck looking, for all intents and purposes, deeply asleep.

 “Oh yeah, he’s fine,” Superboy shrugged. “Rob’s just been working this arms dealing case for like, a week straight. No one is exactly sure when’s the last time he slept so once he got everything sorted, he just crashed. So anyway,” he reached into his jacket and didn’t seem phased by half of the bullpen reaching for their weapons. 

He pulled out a USB and dangled it in front of Gordon. “Before he was forcibly put on the Dreamland Express, Robin wanted you to have this. It’s all his notes on the guns, who’s supplying them and evidence leading back to the guys in charge. We got some of the small fish tonight but you need a badge to get the the bigger ones.”

“Thanks,” Gordon mumbled, grabbing the USB hesitantly, like it was going to explode. “If I may ask, how did you get involved with this? Did the arms dealing originate in Metropolis?” Detective Mac groaned quietly in the back. They hated intercity especially investigations but it was worst with Metropolis, all ‘Superman this’ or ‘Superman that’. Pat kind of gets it now, the Supers have such a strong presence to them.  

“Oh no, I think Robbie said these guys came from the south like Florida or something,” Superboy frowned. “I’m here because this one-” another light shake of Robin who still did not stir. “Got so wrapped up in this case he forgot our date night,” he rubbed at his eyes. “Found him making one of those string evidence charts on the fridge because he ran out of room on the counter.”

“And Batman?” Gordon questioned, like he didn’t want to know the answer. 

“I think he’s in Japan on League business,” Superboy tilted his head in thought, “or was it Norway? Anyway not here. Rob always goes a little overboard when Bats isn’t around to spray bottle him into taking a break like hello, you’ve got nothing to prove, we already know you’re super sexy and way smarter than Batman.”

No one quite knew what to say to that so they just stayed quiet. Superboy glanced at the clock and groaned.

“Shit, I didn’t realize it was so late. I’m gonna be in so much trouble when I get home once I drop this idiot off,” he ended his sentence with a soft kiss to the top of Robin’s hair. “Hey, did anyone catch the end to the Knights/Meteors baseball game? I caught some of the eighth inning when Rob and I raided the warehouse where they were storing some of the guns, I think the Meteors were up.”

“They were,” Detective Driver said with a smug grin. “it was 8-9 Meteors but Matheson hit a triple at the bottom of the ninth and it ended 9-12 for the Knights.” 

“Hell, we keep crumping at the last minute,” Superboy huffed. “I’m telling you that new pitcher they brought in from St. Louis ain’t cutting it; hope they trade him back at the end of the season.”

“Might as well trade the whole team while you’re at it,” Driver goaded. “Metropolis hasn’t put up a good showing since the miracle season of ‘93. If I were you, kid, I’d fly to a city with a better team.” 

“Man, get off my back,” Superboy grinned. A couple people gasped quietly when he lifted himself up off the floor. “And be careful what you say; I doubt Robin will move to me if we decide to move in together which means y’all,” he clicked his tongue and did a one armed finger gun, “will have to deal with me on a more long term basis. Anyway, thanks for the help and uh the service you do. See ya.” 

He turned and flew out the way he’d came, down the stairs to the main lobby and presumably out the front doors. And the whole time, Robin hadn’t moved from his slumber as if there were nowhere safer than his friend’s -boyfriend’s?- arms. 

“Well that sure was something,” Montoya grumbled from the back.

“Bad enough we got Batman and his little kid freaks running around but now he have Supers too?” Chandler groaned, resting her forehead on the desk. 

“Did you guys see-,” Stacy, the secretary and unofficial Batsignal operator said, poking her head in. She winced, “I guess you did.” She smiled and held her hands over her heart. “Well I think they’re cute, SuperWonder is so two years ago, SuperRobin is the only true ship.”

“I have no idea what you’re saying and I don’t want to know,” Gordon sighed, shoving the USB into his coat pocket and shuffling out of the bullpen. “If you need me, I’ll be going over this evidence and wondering why I’m still in the game if lovesick teenagers are doing my job for me.”

#literally could not get the image of Kon just like casually talking to the GCPD while holding Tim on his hip whos just zonked #Kon: I'm helping :DDD #Tim 10.5 hours later when he wakes up: I can never show my face in that building ever again #I'm very proud of remembering the officer's names from Gotham Central #idk about personalities I did my best haha #Stacy ships it as she should #the GCPD finds they like Superboy #esp as he stops by more and more with Robin #yeah he's terrifying powerful but he can talk the talk while having that sarcastic bitchy attitude you need to survive in gotham #Robin shows up with evidence #GCPD: hey where's ur man??? #anyway Kon is a good boyfriend while also being so stupid but he's very punk rock and I love him so fucking much

Dp x Dc AU: That one episode of teen titans where they all dress up as Robin + Tim being a gremlin about his legacy + Danny look alike/twin AU.

So there is that episode of Teen Titans where Starfire, Cyborg, Beast Boy and Raven all dress as Robin (Dick) while he's out and it's admitted that the outfit makes them feel cool. Imagine a young Tim hearing that story mentioned in passing by Dick while trying to manage what becomes Young Just-us. And then when Damain becomes Robin?? Gremlin mode activated.

Tim hosts regular 'Robin' Parties, where the idea is that you come in Robin colors, get a mask at the door and everyone gets to basically hang out in civilian clothes without the identity crises for those just getting started. "age appropriate" drinks, games, and good music are all staples. The parties become more frequent once Damian becomes Robin and he pointedly doesn't attend Tim's parties which... Neither of them are really happy about. Family is complicated, but finally, after a few years of cooling off, it's decided that Robin will actually host this years Robin party.

Meaning Tim shows up in casual clothes (MIT sweatshirt) and a mask, and Damian is actually dressed as Robin when the party is starting to get into the swing of things. The point of it is to make sure all the young heroes get to come and start to befriend each other, so there are a few people who show up and have to actually say that they're *insert alias* and this is met with basically "Dope, nice to meet you Robin" etc.

Insert Danny Twin AU (Or just look-alike fuckery) (for either brother but my brain is on Tim Twin au mode).

Danny decides to show up as his human self, grabs a mask at the door before coming in, and is slowly integrating himself into a conversation when someone grabs his arm- "Hey Red your brother is fighting with a newbie about meat products again-"

And Danny doesn't have a brother but my god has he heard this fight too many times with Sam and Tucker- He's going in and he's defusing this situation because he cannot handle the thought of this argument taking over his new friend group. He deals with it enough, okay?

Robin (like, the real one) looks at him curiously while Danny is talking down the other hero Robin (insert here), and the whole room notices when Robin doesn't take the opportunity to dismiss or belittle his older brother (Lmao because its danny). Damian cannot place his unease about Drake (again, Danny, who is not hiding his identity beyond a mask), and simply decides that this isn't worth the effort.

The party moves on but now instead of everyone calling themselves Robin, Danny is distinctly being called Red. It confuses him a bit, he didn't even know Red Robin was going to be at this party (he hasn't met the guy and doesn't know the lore), but he rolls with it because he's made fast friends with Robin (Bart), Robin (Cassie) and Robin (JON). The kid was full little bro energy and it made Danny laugh, he was so surprised when the real Robin joined them and fell into easy conversation with Robin (Jon).

Danny is playing games with a few others when someone goes to grab a broom to clean up- Turns out Red Robin and his boyfriend Kon had been making out in the closet for most of the party- and the whole room looks at Danny like he's tried to trick them. Tim is at first uneasy that so many people mistook him, but once he's in front of his dupe, puzzle pieces start to move around in his head.

"And who are you again, Robin?" Tim asks carefully, though he suspects he has his answer.

"Uh, Phantom, but you know, a lot of people were calling me Red tonight and I didn't get why until just now." Danny laughs nervously.

"Yeah I bet- Find me monday and we can see about a geneology test."

"That leaves us the whole weekend, to do what exactly? Fuck with people by pulling a parent trap style swap?"

"Nature vs. nuture and all but I don't know how you could be anything but my brother with a question like that." Tim grins and they get to scheming.

[thelibrarian1895]

If your sibling is a rogue then make the best of it

I would like to think that Jason is very Hondo Onakha about kidnapping, very dramatic, fairly polite/chill to the one he kidnapped, minimal trauma, very professional overall but also very theatrical. Out of anyone in Gotham to have as your kidnapper, Jason aka the Red Hood is by far the very best person.

ALL of Jason's family whether they be legal, biological, emotional, or honorary, will absolutely try to convince Jason to kidnap them to get them out of some stupid civilian event. Whether or not Jason will go along with it will depend on several factors such as:

Does this benefit Bruce and get him out of a boring civilian event too? Then so sorry, you're just going to have to suffer!

How busy is Jason at the moment? Because being a drug lord and vigilante is actually pretty time consuming and kidnapping can be a lot of work for potentially very little gain.

What does Jason get out of it? Yes money is all well and good but Jason is rich by his own merits and can just steal from Bruce whenever, there's got to be more to it!

When is the last time Jason has kidnapped this sibling? He can't do it too often or it gets less effective. He has a reputation to maintain after all!

It may also depend on which sib is asking and what they need to be "saved" from.

Dick asks to be kidnapped from a bachelor auction charity? Ha! No chance, sorry Dickie! He will be there though and take pictures and laugh. (And also join all the other siblings who are stalking Dick and the winner of the auction in the event the winner wasn't one of the Bats or an invited member of the JL or Titans using Bruce's money) Dick asking to be kidnapped from a gala or some opening night of trendy place he's at to maintain civilian status? Maybe but the bribe has to be considerable. And it cannot benefit Bruce. Dick's normal bribes consist of taking some tedious part of an investigation over for Jason or getting intel from JL databases for Jason and the Outlaws.

Cass? Anytime and always, favorite sister who can beat him up has special kidnapping privileges, though they did stop for a very long time when some weirdos put out the theory that the Red Hood was in love with Gotham's Princess. (idk if Cass is considered Gotham's Princess in any version of canon but she is to me) Cass does still repay Jason in the form of Black Bat keeping an eye on Jason's territory when he's out of Gotham for any significant length of time.

Tim? He does owe the kid for several incidents and Tim normally doesn't abusive the privilege so he'd probably do it but there does have to be some sort of bribe for appearances sake. Tim usually gets Jason to agree in exchange for pictures of Batman tripping over his cape or in some other ridiculous position. Bonus in Jason's mind if Tim requests a kidnapping when Bruce is off world or otherwise occupied, therefore giving Brucie Wayne's reputation a hit. However if Tim wants to be kidnapped from something where Bruce is also suffering as Brucie, Tim is SOL (Tim might get revenge by getting Kon to wear Red Hood gear and "kidnap" Tim from the event if Jason refused. Kon will do it because Tim asked and also I would like to think that Kon isn't too fond of the guy who beat his best friend/boyfriend nearly to death and will mess with him if given the chance) Since kidnapping normally interferes with things that Tim wants to do however, he may instead bribe Jason to not kidnap a sibling that has asked to be kidnapped. Jason usually obliges this no kidnapping request.

Barbara? Sorry, no, he doesn't want to stress the Commissioner like that. He will, however, kidnap other people for her if she asks.

Stephanie? No Stephanie, he doesn't care what you offer, he's not kidnapping you so you can avoid your finals! Stephanie has, however, worn various wigs and been various hostages who died at the hands of the Hood in order to maintain his reputation. She gets paid in baked goods for her service.

Damian? Damian considered the idea ridiculous and proclaimed he'd never stoop so low and he would carry out his duties no matter how onerous! Damian then had to go to a Gotham gala. Damian is trying very hard to figure out a suitable bribe to get the Red Hood to kidnap him often enough that Bruce will be forced to keep Damian away from galas because of the ongoing security threat. So far it hasn't worked because Damian is very bad at bribing Jason, Jason thinks Damian forced to interact with normal people is funny, and Tim is successfully bribing Jason to ignore Damian's bribery attempts. The Red Hood has "kidnapped" Damian once, as a treat, when he thought the kid was looking particularly down about something.

Duke? Duke has yet to be made to attend any society gatherings as the solo Wayne (normally that falls to Bruce, Dick, or Tim) and can usually be spotted hanging out with Cass by the snack table at any gala or trendy event. He's not at Cass's level of reading body language but he's pretty darn good and he and Cass have reached a new level of being able to avoid annoying rich people while at parties. Duke is Cass's favorite gala buddy. Duke hasn't felt the need to ask Jason to kidnap him yet but Jason will allow the first one to be free of charge, no questions asked. After that Duke hasn't figured out suitable bribes for Jason but has realized that all of his siblings are hyper competitive and that Jason would absolutely wager a kidnapping in a competition or for a bet.

Alfred? If Alfred asked then Jason would without any caveat. Alfred will not ask however but might ask on behalf of someone else and Jason will comply.

Bruce? Jason just laughs. And if someone else is planning on kidnapping Brucie Wayne from a particularly boring business meeting or gala? Jason will actively thwart the kidnapping to force Bruce to continue to deal with social activity.

Jason usually splits a portion of the ransom money into bonuses for his goons since their original job outline is drug dealer/enforcer/mobster and not kidnapper. If they're going to get major felonies on their records, better make it financially worth it. All of Jason's goons are masked during any kidnapping event. The rest of the ransom money goes towards a charity of Jason's choosing.

Jason has also kidnapped people who are not his family or family adjacent. Barbara thought her dad could use a vacation at one point but he didn't have the PTO for it so Barbara had the Red Hood kidnap him. James Gordon experienced the weirdest kidnapping of his life that included some of the best food he'd ever eaten, an extremely soft bed, his pile of books that were on his reading list, and access to the sports games he'd meant to watch. The ransom was successfully paid after he had a week to relax. Gordon was then, as per protocol, allowed time to relax after his "harrowing" event. Barbara forced him to take the time. Strangely enough, some politicians who had been giving the Commissioner a hard time were suddenly very quiet when James Gordon came back, well rested, well fed, and ready to get back to the grind. It, of course, had nothing to do with the very polite emails with pictures attached that they all received while the Commissioner was very publicly out of the way.

Oliver Queen, when he was visiting Gotham, was kidnapped by the Red Hood. He was released after the ransom was paid and specifically he was released back in Star City. Mr. Queen was unavailable for comment after the incident but some sources say that he was cursing bats for some reason.

Lois Lane found herself kidnapped by Red Hood and ransomed by the Daily Planet while Superman was off world. Lois Lane returned safely to Metropolis and published a shocking expose on Luthor's latest scheme. Her sources for the article remain a secret.

Bruce is very grumpy about the whole thing, not just because Jason won't help his poor father get out of the stupid social event, but also because Jason being technically a rogue like this makes it very hard for him to successfully argue that Jason should let himself regain legal living status.

[suzukiblu]

excerpt from the one where Tim Drake goes to an alternate reality and decides to get his other self laid via the local Kon's bisexual awakening:

"Hey, remember when you saved my life earlier?" Tim asks. 

"Yeah, kinda," Kon replies in amusement. "Seeing as it was about two point five seconds after you rigged the evil alien robot army to self-destruct and helped save our entire literal reality's life, so I was definitely paying attention." 

"Flatterer," Tim says with a smirk even as he waves him off. The self-destruct function wasn't even that hard to hack, comparatively. That time he'd downloaded Lex Luthor's active IP files from his personal office while the asshole had been on his damn computer–now that'd been tricky. Interdimensional alien invaders barely compare. And the Brainiac incident still gives him stress migraines when he thinks about it for too long. 

Metropolis sucks and Tim frankly has no idea how his own Kon can stand the place.

But like, getting off-topic here. 

"Well, I was gonna say you should let me pay you back for that," he continues. "But since you bring it up I'll also accept a show of gratitude on behalf of your reality, whichever gets you off harder.” 

Kon laughs, because he is apparently adorable enough to have assumed that was a joke. Precious little moron, Tim thinks fondly. 

"You know, you're a lot less uptight than our version of you is," Kon says, grinning down at Tim before flashing Tim's other self a smirk. "No offense, Rob. Dude's clearly just doing more yoga than you or something. Maybe drinking more tea? Taking the occasional bubble bath?" 

"Silly me, if only I'd invested in more bath bombs in my life," Tim's other self says dryly. 

"It's probably my sex life, actually," Tim himself puts in with an easy shrug. Turns out when you stop pretending you don't have a ridiculously high libido and actually just indulge the thing, a lot of life's little annoyances become a lot easier to handle. Go figure. "Plus my boyfriend Bernard is really great, just his entire existence does wonders for my mood in general and he also makes me eat real food on occasion and monitors my caffeine intake much more reliably than I'm capable of doing on my own. The man is a living antidepressant and I don't even mean that in a fucked-up way, he's just that good." 

"Boyfriend?" Kon blinks at him, then puts on another grin. It takes, Tim cannot help but notice, exactly two beats longer than his real grin would've. "Ohhhhh, okay, so the problem is just that you're not getting laid hard enough?" 

"It is not," Tim's other self says dubiously, watching Kon just a little bit warily and obviously worried about his potential reaction to the word "boyfriend". Well, Tim never claimed to be emotionally intelligent about Kon, so no surprise his other self is also a dumbass there. 

"It kinda is, actually," he tells his other self. "I was tracking my cortisol levels the last time I went on a solo away mission and let's just say they were . . . concerning? Like really concerning. Like by the time I got back I was kiiiiind of convinced I was going to need to go on anti-anxiety meds again. But then I jumped my Kon in the Titans Tower med bay instead and that pretty much solved the problem." 

Kon . . . pauses, sort of. Tilts his head. Tim's other self looks a lot warier.

"'Jumped'," Kon repeats carefully. "Like . . . what, you dragged him to the gym to spar or something?" 

"Like I blew his back out so hard that when he came his TTK fritzed out and disassembled my recovery bed," Tim clarifies helpfully. "It really helped with the cortisol levels issue." 

Kon blinks. Tim's other self looks pained, but also desperately envious. Tim would also be desperately envious if their situations were reversed and so does not blame him for said envy in the slightest. 

"I thought you said you had a boyfriend?" Kon says after a moment, sounding a little odd in a very telling way. Or at least very telling to Tim, anyway. 

As is the way that he's not looking at Tim's other self at all anymore. 

"Open relationship," Tim says. "Also Bernard thinks you're stupidly hot and really likes hearing about the kind of stuff you let me do to you. I've actually been debating inviting you over for his birthday so he can watch us live for once but I haven't asked you yet." 

"What, so your Kon is the side chick?" Kon jokes, awkwardly putting on another just barely belated grin. 

"More like my kept boy, functionally speaking, but he's having a 'weird about commitment' phase right now so I've just been making a lot of sugar baby jokes to soften him up," Tim replies with a shrug. It's only sort of been working, but it has been working, and he's willing to take his time on it. It's not fair to expect Kon to only be easy, after all. "Long-term goal is to marry Bernard and ideally get Kon to 'live-in boyfriend' status somewhere in there, but that would also require him not being weird about commitment and also figuring out how well he and Bernard get along in the same space, so we'll just have to see how that one goes." 

"Uh," Kon says. "Why?" 

"Because you are incredibly important to me and also look like a very horny Renaissance sculptor made you out of calacatta marble," Tim tells him matter-of-factly, gesturing meaningfully at him. "Frankly it's criminal that you ever put clothes on."

Still I find you next to me

TimKon, 5+1 Things, One Bed, Established Relationship, Anxiety, Anxious Tim, Good Boyfriend Kon, Lack of communication, Overthinking.

Summary: It’s probably the first time anyone in a relationship has thought this, but Tim wishes they had two beds instead of the one. He doesn’t mind sharing with Kon however only having the one bed in the room doesn’t help his problem he’s recently been having, if anything it makes it a whole lot worse.

Enjoy! :D

In hindsight, Tim really should have thought this through more. This is the worst possible time for reality to hit him.

It’s late in the night, or rather early hours in the morning, and he cannot sleep. He and Kon called it a night a couple hours prior and without thinking about it Tim automatically followed his boyfriend to his bedroom and got ready for bed as Kon did. Together they shuffled underneath the covers and after bidding one another a goodnight with a kiss they settled down to fall asleep.

It’s now as he lies there in bed that Tim realises his mistake. He should have not gone to bed with Kon. Not that sleeping next to Kon is a bad thing, it’s just that Tim isn’t entirely comfortable with it yet.

The idea of sharing a bed with anyone, not just Kon, makes him feel too conscious and uncomfortable, he’s paranoid he’s going to accidently wake them up, or that he may fidget too much and annoy them. He doesn’t know why he’s so worried about it but it’s never really been a thing until recent years after he started crashing in random places with his teammates.

It’s now nearing 3am and Tim curses himself because he should have gone to his own room instead of following Kon to his. It’s too late to head to his room, Kon would wake up in the morning and question why Tim wasn’t there and in order to not lie to his boyfriend Tim would be forced to explain his weird sharing a bed phobia thing he's got going on.

Tim sighs quietly and tries to force himself to relax enough so he could go to sleep, meanwhile Kon is next to him dead to the world. Lucky bastard. Unfortunately Tim is now caught in the ruthless cycle of where his brain won’t switch off enough for him to go to sleep and then he's getting agitated because he can’t sleep which is making him even more agitated which is making it more difficult to sleep and so forth.

What makes the situation worse is that this isn’t their first time sharing a bed. In the years they had been best friends and then the couple months they’ve been dating, they’ve shared beds before but never in this sense. The previous times have been either quick naps on couches, or passing out together from pure exhaustion or dozing off while binge watching TV. They’ve never intentionally gone to bed together. This is completely throwing Tim in all different kinds of directions.

Tim looks at the clock on the bedside table again and finds only ten minutes have gone by and groans internally. That’s when Kon suddenly starts shifting next to him, sucking in a sharp breath and freezing in place Tim waits in anticipation to see what Kon is doing, however all his boyfriend does is change the position of his legs and lets out a long sigh and continues to blissfully sleep on.

Tim breaths out gratefully. It’s already been a long night and he knows there’s still a long way to go. He knows he's going to be tired tomorrow from the lack of sleep but as long as he doesn’t wake Kon up then that’s the main thing.

============

Now he’s clocked on to it Tim can’t help but notice how stiff and tense he becomes anytime he and Kon lie together, although he has picked up on that he isn’t as bad on couches as he is on beds. Thankfully Kon hasn’t seemed to notice his behaviour yet, at least if he has he hasn’t said anything to Tim about it.

The next time Tim gets worked up oversleeping next to Kon is when his boyfriend suggests they go to bed at the end of movie night with the team. From where they were snuggled up on the couch underneath a blanket, Kon had leaned in close letting his lips ghost over the ridge of his ear while he whispered somewhat seductively that they retire for the night.

Unfortunately Kon’s words had the opposite reaction to the desired effect he had been going for. Tim instantly freezes up at the idea of going to bed together. It wasn’t the idea of sex that put him off, he was always happy to participate in those activities, it was the concept of sleeping next to each other throughout the night which would inevitably happen after their so called activities. As the whole thing has been on the forefront of his mind Tim gets worked up over it far quicker and easier than normal.

Noticing his reaction Kon instantly pulled back and checked in with him, the seductive tone completely gone from his voice as he asks if Tim is okay. Keeping his gaze on the screen playing the film Tim merely nods.

Without making it seem more obvious that there’s something off with him Tim ends up once again in Kon’s room after the movies. He and Kon silently get ready for bed, their earlier conversation seeming to have killed any mood that may have once been the focal point of the night and Tim tries to not dwell on it. He does feel guilty for ruining Kon’s mood though.

Saying their goodnights they climb into bed and share a kiss before settling down for the night. They don’t cuddle which Tim was both disappointed and pleased about, but more than anything else Tim finds himself already worked up about being in bed with Kon. Kon, the lucky bastard that he is, instantly falls asleep as soon as his head hits the pillow, Tim could hear soft snores coming from his left.

Tim tries. He really does attempt to fall sleep next to Kon that night. He turns onto his side, tucking his arm underneath the pillow and buries his face into fluffiness of it, sadly the comfort of the position last no more than a couple minutes before the urge of needing to turn back over is too great to ignore. Gritting his teeth Tim turns around and does his best to not disturb Kon in his slumber.

It's easy to say he doesn’t sleep well that night. He may get a twenty minute nap here and there where he dozes but never actually falls into a deep sleep.

By early morning he’s overly tired and beyond agitated. When he glances at the clock for the eighth  time in the space of five minutes Tim knows it’s time to call it quits with the charade of pretending to sleep. Being as careful as he could Tim untangles the sheet from his body and climbs out of bed. Continuing with being as quiet as he could, Tim gathers up with clothing in the dark before making his way out of Kon’s room and silently shuts the door behind him.

Because of the time it is Tim doesn’t plan to try and go back to sleep, instead he heads to his own bedroom and gets dressed in some workout gear before heading to the training rooms. It’s not the first time he’s done an extra early training session so at least he can play on that if anyone – Kon – asks what he’s doing, it’s a plausible excuse really, also it provides the opportunity to work off some of that agitation he’s still feeling.

Sure enough when Kon finds him almost three hours later as Tim is finishing up he asks if everything is okay and Tim simply shrugs stating he wanted to get some extra training in that day so he got up early to do so. Tim doesn’t let Kon question him further by stepping up to his boyfriend planting a kiss on his cheek and wanders out of the training room in order to go and shower. As he walks away Tim knows he’s only just managed to dodge a bullet there.

============

It shouldn’t surprise Tim that he feels the same awkwardness sleeping next to Kon when they’re at the farm as he does when they’re at the Tower but it still does.

He lies there, next to his peacefully sleeping boyfriend, annoyed at himself and at the world. It takes all of his self-restraint to not groan out loud and throw a fit at the unfairness of it all while at the same time he fights the urge to cry out his all of his emotions.

As he stares into the darkness of the room Tim’s mind wonders. While he’s annoyed he couldn’t sleep, and how conscious he is about waking up Kon, it also doesn’t help that his brain doesn’t turn off long enough for him to be able to relax. His mind is working about a hundred miles per hour, thinking about all kinds of different things and random shit he doesn’t know how his brain has comes up with it.

In life, it takes a lot of things to go right for you to stay alive but only a couple things to go wrong for you to die.

Right, Tim shakes his head to clear that thought from his mind, thanks brain, time to really stop thinking now.

Already knowing what the rest of the night is going to be like Tim saves himself the struggle and simply climbs out of bed as soon as he knows Kon isn’t going to wake back up any time soon. He probably spent an hour in bed at the most this time and while he feels bad about leaving Kon alone Tim just can’t make himself stay in bed trying pitifully to fall asleep knowing he’ll only get up in the morning feeling ill from tiredness.

Tim quietly makes his way out of the bedroom and heads for the living room of the farmhouse. Thankfully it’s just them two in the house as Ma and Pa are staying in a hotel that evening, the elderly couple had stopped for the night as they travel back from up state after visiting some friends. Before settling down on one of the living room couches Tim decides to do a detour to the kitchen and helps himself to a cup of tea. He’s long grown used to helping himself in the Kent farmhouse, he knows he’s more than welcome to help himself to anything available and he feels comfortable enough to do so, anytime he visits the farm all the Kents (Kon included) regularly tell him he’s welcomed to have anything he wants.

Once he’s got his steaming cup of tea ready he heads back into the living room and grabs a blanket from the back of the couch before settling down onto the plush cushions. After a moment of just sitting serenely in the peace and quiet of the room Tim reaches for the remote on the coffee table in front of him and turns the TV on. After finding some mind numbing content – there really isn’t much too choose from at this time of night - he puts it on mute and sticks on the subtitles so he doesn’t accidently wake Kon up with the noises.

Tim’s not sure how long he spends judging what the shopping channel is trying to convince him to buy but at some point he must have drifted off to sleep because the next thing he knows is that he’s being lightly roused by his boyfriend. As Tim blinks, feeling somewhat groggy from his sleep, he finds Kon kneeling in front of him wearing a frown.

“Tim, how long have you been here?” Kon asks sounding concerned.

“I don’t, I uh…” Tim rubs his eyes and tries to wake up properly. Seeing as the room is now bathed in golden light from the sun he squints at Kon, “what time is it?”

“It’s 6:30, I’m about to go and tend to the animals.”

At least Tim has enough brain power in him so he doesn’t blurt out the first thing that comes to mind. He gives himself a second to think before answering. “An hour maybe, not long.”

Even in his half asleep state, god he hates mornings, Tim could tell Kon didn’t believe his words. Fortunately instead of prodding him for the truth Kon lets out a sigh and shakes his head. “Okay. Why don’t you go back to bed and grab a couple more hours of sleep. I’ll tend to the animals and make breakfast then I’ll come and grab you okay.”

Already on his way to falling back to sleep Tim hums and nods in agreement. Kon smiles and stands up, he leans down and presses a kiss to his forehead and helps him up off the couch before shuffling him off to the bedroom to get more sleep.

============

The next time Tim is faced with sleeping next to Kon he doesn’t even go to bed.

The reason he never made it to bed that night is half because of avoidance and half because he genuinely got distracted by work that he completely lost track of time.

He and Kon are in his bedroom in the Manor. Kon had come around after declaring ‘it’s been too long since they last saw each other’ and decided to make a physical appearance. Tim certainly wasn’t complaining about it, he loved seeing Kon and being able to talk to him without a screen in the way is so much better, plus there’s the bonus he actually gets to physically hold and kiss Kon whenever he wants.

After an amazing dinner prepared by Alfred, he and Kon retired to Tim’s room for the night. While it wasn’t Tim’s scheduled night to go out on patrol he still had work to do and the rest of their evening had been spent with Kon lounging on his bed watching Netflix while Tim multitasked between working and talking to Kon. They chat about anything and everything and Tim feels himself smiling widely in a way he hasn’t done for a while, probably since he last saw Kon which had been a couple weeks ago.

As they chat Tim loses track of time, not that he had ever been tracking it to begin with, and he only notices how late it is when Kon yawns loudly from his bed. Feeling guilty Tim turns around on his chair so he faces Kon and for the first time he notices how close his boyfriend is to falling asleep.

“Hey, if you want to go to bed I don’t mind. You didn’t have to stay awake for so long when you’re clearly tired.” Tim tells him with a small frown.

Kon yawns again and waves a hand around dismissively. “No it’s okay. It’s just been a long day but hitting the hay sounds great right now,” Kon glances at him knowingly, “will you be joining me?” By his gaze alone Tim could tell Kon already knows his answer but his boyfriend probably felt complied to ask anyway.

Tim shakes his head. “I still have a bit to do but once I’m done I’ll join you.”

Kon hums passively, looking disappointed but unsurprised by his answer. “Alright, just don’t be too long.”

“I won’t be. I just have to finish this while I’m at it.”

As Kon gets off his bed and heads for the ensuite, Tim gets the rest of the room ready for his boyfriend. He turns the TV off and changes the lamps over so it’s only his small desk one on, he removes anything other than the pillows from the bed and pulls back the covers so it’s all sorted for Kon when he’s finished his nightly routine.

Tim’s settled at his desk by the time Kon comes back into the room wearing nothing but his boxers. From out of the corner of his eye Tim couldn’t help but stare at his boyfriend, of course he’s trying to be subtle about it but from the sound of Kon’s laugh he’s clearly been caught in the act. Perhaps if it was another night where Kon wasn’t exhausted and Tim wasn’t caught up in his work they could have done something more before going to sleep but unfortunately tonight is not that night. From opposite sides of the room they bid their goodnights and fall silent.

A sense of déjà vu washes over Tim when he’s shaken awake the next morning. He finds Kon next to him wearing a disapproving frown on his face and it takes a moment for him to realise why. Right. He fell asleep at his desk sometime during the night.

Tim finished what he had been working on not too long after Kon had gone to bed so really that’s when he should have called it a night, after all that’s what he had told Kon he’d do, however the thought of accidentally waking Kon up as he climbs into bed was enough to stop him from approaching the mattress at all. In the end he found another project to work on instead and mentally prepared himself to pull an all-nighter.

Clearly that hadn’t happened because Kon found him slumped over his desk fast asleep. His boyfriend looked less than impressed and all Tim could do was flash him a sheepish smile and play it off like he normally would.

============

Tim should have known that eventually Kon would corner him about his behaviour towards sharing a bed at night. It’s been happening for weeks now and clearly Kon’s had enough because he ultimately decides to confront Tim about it.

When Kon decides that he wants to talk about it, it’s a random weekday night and Tim is caught off guard by it and didn’t have the chance to mentally prepare for the conversation. He knows that was Kon’s intention. The unexpectedness of it didn’t allow him the chance to come up with realistic arguments to validate his behaviour meaning he was left stumped when trying to answer Kon. If there’s one person he can’t lie to, it’s Kon.

The team had been sent on a mission in a different city and because it needed to be completed during the day they ended up renting out a large condo (discretely hidden in the city) to serve as their base for the duration of the mission.

During the evening when they were lounging around absently watching a film on the TV, Kon gets up from the beanbag he had been on and stretches and glances around the room. “We’re calling it a night now, so see you lot in the morning.”

The sentence gets him a few odd looks considering what the time is but no one comments and everyone simply bids their goodnights. From his place on the love seat Tim gives him his goodnight but doesn’t pay much attention because he's busily on his phone prepping for the mission. He only looks up from the device when he feels like he’s being watched and finds that everyone in the room is in fact staring at him.

“What?” He asks in confusion. Had he done something wrong? What did he miss?

Kon narrows his eyes at him and jerks his head to the side in the direction of their room was. “We’re, meaning you and I, Tim, are going to bed. Right now.”

Tim sends his boyfriend a baffled look. “Are we? I’m okay, you can go ahead and I’ll join you later. I’m not tired.”

Kon continues to stare at him and Tim has no idea what he's thinking. “That wasn’t a request.”

A beat of silence goes by. Tim is completely thrown off by the sudden no nonsense tone Kon has going on. The tense atmosphere between them is broken by Cassie groaning loudly.

“Oh for goodness sakes! We’ve told you guys to keep your foreplay to yourselves and not do it in front of us.”

Tim breaks eye contact with Kon to glance at Cassie who is looking both annoyed and bored with their behaviour. The whole thing only adds more to Tim’s confusion, is Kon demanding them to go to bed an euphemism for them to have sex? Did he miss the memo? Usually when one of them hints towards that sort of thing it’s more playful and both parties quickly get on board but Tim hasn’t picked up any of the sort from Kon this time.

Kon rolls his eyes at Cassie’s words and send the blonde a pointed look. “Tim and I need to talk actually.”

That only adds makes Tim even more confused than before. He glances around again and catches some of the curious looks sent his way, Tim could only shrug back in response because he has no idea either.

“Should we reorganise the rooms if you guys are breaking up?” Bart pipes up from where he’s sprawled out on the floor surrounded by empty food packets.

Kon scoffs, “what? No. We’re not breaking up. Tim and I just need to talk about something and now is the perfect time.” Kon turns to Tim wearing a determined expression. “Let’s go.”

Figuring he doesn’t have a choice in the matter Tim slowly climbs to his feet and reluctantly follows Kon through the condo to their shared room. Being the only couple on the team they got dibs on the only room with a double bed in it, everyone else is split between the rooms that all have twin beds in them. Tim mentally wishes he had a single bed, not that he doesn’t mind sharing with Kon and is grateful they’re sharing a room, however only having the one bed doesn’t help his ‘problem’ he’s recently been having.

After stepping through the door Kon shuts it behind him and Tim takes a tentative seat on the edge of the mattress and sends his boyfriend a worried look. “Are you okay Kon? You said we’re not breaking up, which I’m relieved about by the way, but what’s wrong. What’s with the sudden need to talk to me?”

Kon comes and stands in front of him, he glowers at Tim and crosses his arms over his chest. “You tell me Tim. I’ve been waiting for you to approach me about it for a while now but since you haven’t I decided to come to you instead.”

When Kon pauses Tim waits for him to elaborate his point although when he doesn’t Tim throws his hands up exasperatedly. “I don’t know what you’re talking about Kon!”

Huffing Kon shakes his head as if Tim's being the unreasonable one.

“Sharing a bed with me Tim! Why won’t you sleep with me?” He pauses and blinks as if realising what he said before quickly adding, “and I mean literal sleeping, not sex. You’re never in bed with me for a whole night, I can’t remember the last time I woke up with you by my side.”

Freezing Tim gapes at Kon. He’s shocked with the fact he’s now having to face reality of his problem and he’s got no idea on how to deal with it. It’s so stupid and embarrassing that Tim really would rather not talk about it.

“I uh… well, um…” Tim mumbles for a moment before trailing off unsure on what to say or even where to start. Unfortunately Kon takes his lack of explanation the wrong way instead of seeing Tim’s embarrassment of the situation and jumps the gun.

“Am I that revolting to sleep next to or something Tim? Is it that bad having to share a bed with me that you never actually do so? So what, we have sex and that’s all we get to do on a mattress, we never have lazy morning make outs or cuddles.”

The more Kon talks the worse Tim feels. When his boyfriend stops speaking Tim tries to explain but he can’t seem to find the words to articulate his thoughts and feelings on the matter. His silence only fuels Kon’s frustration.

“Have you got nothing to say Tim? Not even an explanation? And here I was thinking we agreed to always share our thoughts and feelings no matter what.”

To that comment Tim manages to find some words. “We did! I do talk to you Kon. You’re the person I trust most in this world.”

“But apparently not enough.” Kon says dejectedly. His voice has gone soft now, the frustration and fight having drained out of him. His boyfriend looks hurt at the idea of Tim not truthfully talking to him and it breaks Tim’s heart, he had never intended to hurt Kon like that.

Tim feels his emotions building up and there’s a pressure developing behind his eyes. As he looks up at Kon he refuses to cry. “It’s not like that I promise Kon, it’s just – god – it’s so embarrassing I don’t know how to explain it. But please don’t think it’s anything you’ve done, it’s not you it’s me, I’m the one with the problem here.”

Kon breathes out a long sigh and to Tim's surprise he comes and crouches down in front of him, his hands land on Tim's knees squeezing them reassuringly.

“Talk to me Tim,” Kon whispers, “tell me what's going on. You know I won’t judge.”

Swallowing a lump in his throat Tim covers Kon’s hands with his own and holds them tightly. “I don’t think I can say it Kon. It’s so embarrassing to even think about.” He has to glance away after that admission, unable to face his boyfriend any longer.

Tim feels Kon squeeze his hands and he’s grateful when Kon doesn’t pursue the topic, he’s pretty sure that if the conversation continued on for any longer Tim will end up breaking down and that’s the last thing he wants or needs right now.

“Okay.” Kon says with a sense of finality. “What about to tonight though? Would you like to share or I can go somewhere else?”

The question only makes Tim want to cry. He sighs, hating the words that he’s about to say, “I can go somewhere else, I think it’s best we stay separate for now.”

His boyfriend doesn’t argue and when Tim glances at him he catches the disappointed look on his face before it changes again. “It’s okay, I’ll go somewhere else tonight.”

Then just like that Kon gets to his feet, plants a kiss on Tim’s forehead, and heads for the door of the bedroom. He’s gone before Tim could even think to react. Tim stays seated on the bed, left staring at the space Kon had just occupied feeling nothing but guilty and awful.

Predictably, that night Tim didn’t sleep very well. And this time it isn’t because he was too conscious about waking up his boyfriend, quite the opposite really. His mind thought about nothing else other than Kon and Tim felt himself drowning in his guilt for how their conversation played out.

Thankfully in the morning none of the team commented about him and Kon. They clearly picked up on that something happened between them but thankfully kept their questions to themselves. Going forward Tim knows he's going to have to face his problem and speak to Kon although for now that’s a task for another day. He’s got a mission to compete.

============

Tim hates hospitals. Well, more accurately, the infirmary. To be honest he hates any healthcare setting that involves a loved one being unconscious on a medical bed with various of wires and tubes attached to them that’s helping to keep them alive.

His boyfriend is unconscious on the bed before him, he’s breathing somewhat shallowly, different parts of his body are covered with white bandages and the parts of his usually immaculate skin that aren’t covered by bandages is painted with various shades of blues and browns from deep bruising.

From his position next to Kon’s bed Tim’s sat in a rather uncomfortable plastic chair holding one of Kon’s hands in both of his own. As small as it is Tim finds the physical touch grounding, of course he’d rather hold all of Kon but at least it’s something. He doesn’t know how long he’s been there although it’s certainly been long enough for his lower body to have grown numb, people have been and gone, some of them trying to coax Tim away so he can get proper rest but Tim’s refused to move anywhere.

Kon’s current state is a result of a battle gone bad. His boyfriend had already been running low of energy before the 36 hour battle that took place. Kon had fought with everything he had but the enemy had been crafty and unfortunately they had tricks up their sleeves that allowed them to get the upper hand over his superpowered teammates, including his Kryptonian. It’s thanks to Bart’s quick thinking that they were able to get Kon back to the infirmary and treated which ultimately saved Kon’s life.

Kon’s woken up a few times since then however each time he’s been groggy and adorably confused. It helps ease Tim’s mind that he’s waking up and appears to be on the road to recovery even though it’s still worrying that he hasn’t bounced back as quickly as he normally does when injured.

Tim’s distracted from his thoughts when he feels Kon’s hand twitch in his own. Looking up Tim focuses on his boyfriend’s face to watch for any signs that he may be waking up.

“Kon?” His boyfriend shifts on the mattress and lets out a low groan in discomfort. “Hey, c’mon Kon, wake up for me.” Tim gently probes him, selfishly wanting to see Kon’s blue eyes open once again.

Another groan is made but it’s paired with Kon’s eye lashes fluttering as he tries to open them up. Tim squeezes his hand in encouragement and soon enough Kon is looking at him with a tired expression.

“There you are,” Tim says softly, “how are you feeling?”

Kon slowly blinks and it takes a moment for him to answer. “Like Krypto’s ran me over while going 100 miles per hour.”

Tim snorts, amused by his comment. Eventually he gets a proper answer out of him and Tim helps him to drink some water before feeding him a small helping of dry food. Once the foods been digested Kon is already on his way to falling back asleep.

His boyfriend buries his face into the pillow behind him and then turns slightly so he could look at Tim, unable to help himself Tim smiles and reaches out to brush a hand through his hair. Kon hums in contentment and his eyes slip shut and it’s when Tim is sure Kon is fast asleep that he goes to pull away but he’s stopped when Kon grabs his wrist instead.

“Stay,” Kon whispers, the Kryptonian changes his hold on Tim’s wrist until their fingers are intertwined, “please.”

“I’m not going anywhere.” Tim tells him resolutely. Nothing will make Tim move from Kon’s bedside until his boyfriend is back on his feet happy and healthy.

Kon shakes his head which makes Tim frown. His boyfriend tugs his wrist and shuffles sideways on the bed until there’s a gap on the left side. When it clicks to what Kon wants Tim sighs and stops Kon’s tugging.

“Kon I can’t. There’s not enough room and you need the space so you can rest properly.”

“I want to feel you.” His boyfriend continues his insistent tugging. “I know you don’t feel comfortable with it but I want you next to me. Please.”

Tim meets his gaze and that’s his downfall, Kon has a powerful puppy dog look as it is but it’s only made stronger because of his current state regarding his injuries. Tim cannot do anything but obey his request.

After several moments of shifting and rearranging Kon on the bed where Tim isn’t getting in the way of any wires and tubes still attached to him, the two of them soon find a comfortable position where Tim is reclined against the pillows and Kon is tucked up against his side with Tim’s arm wrapped around him holding him close.

As soon as he’s got what he wanted Kon instantly falls asleep against him and Tim doesn’t mind it at all. The dead weight against him will probably cause pins and needles later on but in this position Tim can easily feel the way Kon breathes and it helps him know his boyfriend is going to be alright.

Even with Tim’s weird issue of not being able to sleep next to Kon, something they eventually had talked about, a topic which occupied hours of their time, Tim for once doesn’t feel anxious about it. He doesn’t feel worried that he’s going to wake Kon up and with him in such close proximity of his boyfriend if anything goes south Tim is right there to deal with it. This is most certainly the best solution for everyone involved.

The next time Kon wakes up he feels a weight pressed against him and before he could panic about it his mind comes up with an answer to what it is. To say he’s shocked is an understatement but more than anything else Kon is elevated. His boyfriend is peacefully asleep next to him and Kon is the one holding him, the two of them having switched positions during their slumber. Kon knows they’ve got a long way to go yet but he’s glad this is the start in the right direction, it’s just a shame it's happened when he's severely injured. Well, beggars can’t be choosers, Kon will take it. He soon settles back down and listens to Tim’s steady heartbeat and breathing as he drifts off.

leaving a lil rant here :]

I love Tim and his ships sm. Me personally, I only really ship TimKon. Those two are perfect for eachother and have so much clear queer coding that it’s crazy, and they have dialogue that’s just. gay shaped.

I also get TimBart, I don’t ship it romantically but I get why people do!! Tim and Bart are close as well, and the balance they get between ‘depressed tired wet cat’ and ‘living breathing embodiment of adhd’ is great.

I also get TimBartKon, they’re a trio. They are always a trio, so many people like to bring up how TimKon has so much coding and one of the big examples they use is when Tim tried to clone Kon. You know who else he tried to clone? Bart.

The only Tim ship I don’t get is TimBern, or any ship involving those two. When Bernard first appears, he’s Tim’s bully. He actively makes fun of tim and puts him down and then that character is forgotten about until Tim comes out as bi, then they just rework his character and go “haha guys this is his boyfriend not bully ygs are crazy” and just forget about all the bad stuff Bernard did? Reworking a character is great and all but, it just feels a bit weird and out of place for me. There’s always going to be that certain toxicity for TimBern, at least for me.

homie... bully??? im flabbergasted- im speechless- im jason todd (dead)

okay, im gonna start off by saying you have all the right to not ship them, and im not here to defend timbern as a ship. im here to defend BERNARD DOWD.

first thing bernard does is give tim advice about teachers, and he clearly says they're gonna be good friends.

if bernard was a bully, tim wouldn't hang around him so much. besides, i hate it when people place tim as a helpless little boy who would get bullied. he has put himself in situations where he looks weak on purpose to keep his identity safe, but he's not a victim at all. tim is a social butterfly because he's really good at masking and reading people.

not to mention, both bernard and darla push tim a lot because they're trying to get him to open up and be closer to them, but he keeps pushing them away. tim is a professional liar.

and when tim has to quit robin and start hanging out with normal people, he invites bernard over.

and bernard is acting relatively normal, and he wants to play video games and talk about how hot tim's stepmom is.

bernard is a normal teenager who has no idea one of his friends is the hero he's so obsessed with. he even shows concern for robin dying and makes up an entire conspiracy theory about batman havin a robin orphanage. you can tell he's afraid of robin being gone for real because at this point they haven't seen robin in months bc tim retired.

i dont know what about all of these interactions gave you the vibe that he's a bully because all i see is a normal teenager teasing his friends and being jealous tim gets more bitches.

im not saying that bernard was never mean or weird around tim, but he definitely wasn't actively bullying tim.

bernard is obnoxious and cocky, yes. but thats just because they wrote him as a real person. he's the school's chameleon, maybe even a little bit of a loser, too. he knows everyone but keeps a safe distance so that he doesn't get pushed into a box. im not sure if, at this point, he was already in a cult or being indoctrinated, but when we see his parents and the dowd home in tim drake: robin that just doesn't look right.

also homie talk about "forgetting all the bad things bernard did" (which in my opinion is none but okay lets follow that logic) everyone forget about all the bad things batman did to tim, he was not a kind and loving mentor, he was cruel to both tim and steph. we forget that batman was kind of an asshole to damien in the beginning. all those things are forgotten for the sake of the batfam.

in conclusion: we're just so used to the idea that superheroes can only ever form strong friendship bonds by having near death experiences together that we forget that the secret identifies exist and that the people who know them by their legal name also means a lot to them. after all, these people are the reason why they're heroes.

#bernard dowd #timbern #tim drake #i could make a 2 hours long video essay on bernard dowd and how deep his character actually goes #but yall are not ready for that #ask #cosmic inbox

[sistertotheknowitall]

Tim is crying.

Now Jason hears Tim crying and how he sounds just heartbroken. And this upsets Jason, and Jason is mad. He doesn’t know why he’s mad but it’s the same feeling of anger he gets when any of his siblings are badly injured. Like he’s not just pissed at them for being stupid and getting hurt, but like he’s pissed at the thing that hurt them. So he can’t say why he cares just that he does.

So Jason takes it upon himself to get back at the ducker who hurt his brother replacement.

Now I know this can sound like hurt/comfort and trying big brother Jason with a side of angst for Tim.

But that’s not where my mind first went to.

Hear me out!

Now Tim is crying for a silly reason, okay? (He’s been up too late and saw a puppy rescue video that had him sobbing and then he thinks to himself ‘okay wow, big emotions, time to sleep.’)

Jason hears Tim and he may not know what’s going on but he’s connecting the dots. He’s connecting the wrong dots. But he’s connecting the dots all the same. He has come to the conclusion that Kon-El/Connor, Tim’s boyfriend, has upset Tim and/or broke up with him. Now mind you he has not talked to Tim.

So Jason calls Dick because Bruce changed the password to the vault with the kryptonite and Dick has a weird ability to correctly guess Bruce’s passwords. (When asked Dick said he knew based on Bruce’s mood that week. As if that answered the question.)

Now Dick is confused, “Why do you need kryptonite? Oh god, you’re not going to try and fight Clark are you? Please don’t. He gets so sad.”

And Jason doesn’t really explain the reason just what he thinks he knows, which is 1)Kon and Tim got into a fight and maybe broke up and 2) Tim is sobbing in his room and “now I have to kill Kon.”

“Kon and Tim? Jason. They weren’t dating.”

“Oh poor little Goldie. Always so oblivious.”

“….. were they actually dating?”

“Yeah? Why else would they be glued at the hip? And the flirting? They’re always flirting! If they’re not together I’m eating my left foot.”

“Why the left one?”

“I like the right one better.”

“Wow…. I can’t believe it. They were together this whole time and he didn’t tell me. Am I not a good brother? Why couldn’t he tell me?”

“It doesn’t matter! Are you gonna help me kill Superboy or not?”

“……… yeah, sure. The code is 10 1 18 18 15.”

“Seriously?”

“Well, he is the favorite.”

Cue Jason hunting down Superboy and Superboy being really confused. Dick has informed the others of Tim’s break up and they cheer Jason on but do not get involved. Eventually Superman and Batman do get involved once they realize what’s happening. Jason has to explain and Tim is embarrassed. Kon is amused but also why does Jason kill first ask questions later?

A idea- Birdflash/Jayroy/Timkon

I feel like Damian has the worst luck seeing all his brothers boyfriends getting kissed by this man...Santa Claus.

I imagine Damian going to see his brothers only to see each of their lovers getting kissed by Santa (aka his brothers) and he's been feeling guilty for not telling his brothers that their significant other is cheating.

Until one day Santa visited the manor while everyone was there and he just blurts out when he sees Jon talking to "Santa"

------

Damian: Get Away From That Fiend!

Jon: what why?

Dick: yeah don't you like Santa little D?

Damian: No I do not! I'm sorry Grayson... Drake, Todd I'm not as sorry as I am to Grayson but I've got to tell someone about this.... Your significant others....cheated on you!

Roy, Wally, Kon, Dick, Jason, Tim: WHAT!

Damian: yes it's true...this fiend 'Claus' has been kissing your Lovers! He is a horrible creature snatching people's significant others! That's why I hate him!

Jason: oh...thank goodness it was only Santa Claus for a second I thought I would have to kill someone

Tim: wait you think that was...

Dick: oh little D that wasn't-

Wally: wasn't what Dick? That was totally Santa Claus...roll with it Jon and Damian still thinks Santa is real!

Damian: and that's also why you are no longer allowed to be near that monster Jonathan.

Jon: Santa kissed everyone? What about my mom?

Damian: yeah he probably got to her too for now on you must stay with me until Christmas is over!

Tim: Damian I don't think-

Kon: shush...let them have their fun

Burgers are How You Summon the Almighty Ghost King

EDIT: MASTERLIST

***

Look. Bernard didn’t think it would actually work. 

But, there he was. The Ghost King! In all his.... teenager glory...

“You are the Ghost King... right?” Bernard asked, handing the teen a ham sandwich he just put together. 

“Oh, thanks,” said the teen, accepting the sandwich. “And, yeah. But I haven’t had my coronation yet, so a friend of mine is overlooking some things until I’m ready.”

“Cool,” said Bernard. Then, he gave the teen an apologetic smile. “I’m sorry for summoning you, dude. When I read in the pamphlet that you needed ketchup and mustard drawn in the constellation of Corona Borealis, I really didn’t think it would work because it involved condiments and not... you know... blood sacrifices?”

The teen nodded. And after swallowing, he said, “It’s cool. I’m just surprised that the summoning requirements changed that fast across realms after a few jokes I made. It seems some ghosts just don’t leave things be. They probably worked this fast to tick me off...” The teen snorted at what he said, before continuing with a casual wave of his sandwich, “I should change the requirements again, into something more complicated maybe.”

“I could give you some ideas!” Bernard said. Then he gasped. “My boyfriend is REALLY good at contingencies and plans! He could give you some ideas, too!”

The teen frowned worriedly. “Are you sure that’s a good idea?” he asked. 

Bernard nodded, a bit enthusiastically because his bangs were hitting his eyes. “He’s amazing like that! And this isn’t just bias talking! He’s really good at almost everything, it’s insane! He’s a dork, but-”

“Okay! Okay,” the teen laughed. “I get it, he’s amazing.”

“Hell yeah, he is!!” Bernard said, hoping his smile isn’t too dopey.

O_O_O_O

Tim blinked. He blinked at the evidence of the summoning. He grimaced at the black ants that’s marching towards the mess. 

Then he blinked at the white-haired teen in some kind of hazmat suit that blinked at him with eyes that reminded him too much of Jason. But Danny’s face looks kinda... familiar...?? Nah, no it doesn’t. But the green eyes does make Tim internally theorize that neon green is associated with death. 

Then, he blinked at Bernard’s excited smile.

“Okay, first off, this summoning ritual is insulting,” Tim said, gesturing to it. “There’s barely any drama.”

The white haired teen ducked his head in embarrassment. “I was joking with some of the ghosts in charge of changing the summoning rituals... I don’t exactly understand why it’s important to have something that can summon me when the Ghost Realm and the Living Realm should be kept separate but... well... they insisted. And I was annoyed. And hungry. So, I said the next best thing that came to mind.”

Tim nodded. If he were less tired, he would be snorting in amusement and making some kind of joke Kon would be proud of. But right now? Tim had been awake for the last 71 hours and 45 minutes, a quarter of an hour before the hallucinations sets in, and the only thing keeping him going is coffee and Bernard’s promise for a sandwich. And Bernard, bless his boyfriend, is REALLY GOOD at making sandwiches.

“Okay,” he said, sitting down at the table and taking a bite out of his sandwich. “What if the ritual involved making sandwiches?”

Bernard frowned at his boyfriend. He rubbed Tim’s back, which was heavenly because Bernard’s hands were pleasantly warm. “Are you okay, Babe?”

“I’ll be fine,” he said. “But like you said, we’re just putting together ideas, so I’m also just spouting everything that comes out of my head.”

The teen nodded in understanding. “Right? Food’s just that powerful!” Then, his face turned serious. “I want it to involve making a burger. Not bought, but made from scratch from the summoner.”

Tim nodded, bringing out a notepad and wrote down what the teen said in the most illegible scribble Bernard’s ever seen. Hmmm, maybe Tim needs some rest.

“What should be the ingredients?” Tim asked, not looking up from his notepad while twirling his pen.

“We need to find the best burger there is in this world,” the teen said. “And then, we write down the ingredients for it, the step-by-step process of how it should be prepared, and what kind of soda it should be paired with.”

Tim nodded, jotting down what Danny said.

Bernard was honestly amused and worried. “Are you sure this is the kind of summoning that you want?”

The teen nodded. “It shouldn’t just be a burger bought from some fast-food burger joint. It has to be a Burger that I would be HAPPY to eat when I get summoned and have to listen to some creepy person’s plan for world domination!”

“Not everyone who will summon you will want to dominate the world,” Tim said.

The teen crossed his arms. “Then they should have no problem inviting me to a meal over a talk about how to save the world or whatnot.”

Tim circled some... scribbles and then closed his notepad with a snap, clicking his pen with finality and nodding towards the teen.

“By the way, what should we call you?” he asked the teen, who blinked at him. “I get the ‘names hold power’ thing, but I thought that only applies to the fae?” Tim asked, looking to Bernard for confirmation. And when Tim has to look to Bernard for confirmation, you KNOW that the young man is that badly sleep-deprived. 

The teen laughed. “Don’t worry! You guys can know my name,” he said. Then, with a grin, a silver light circled around him and transformed him into a regular looking teen with black hair and blue eyes while wearing a Nasa shirt and a pair of jeans. He then held a hand out, and introduced himself, “I’m Danny.”

Tim blinked. Danny looked... a lot like Damian. Which should be concerning because his skin was just as dark as Damian’s a while ago... maybe Tim was too focused on the glowing green eyes? Damian also has green eyes... Huh. Does being a ghost make other people unable to recognize you when you’re being one? 

Tim looked to his watch. It’s also 4 am. Oh...

Then, Tim looked to Bernard. “The hallucinations has set in.”

“Dammit, Babe!” Bernard screeched before catching his idiot boyfriend.

*loud cackling* I’ve been drowning in Danny Phantom and Batman crossovers for days!!!! It was only time until I contributed something to the fandom! XD

Unfortunately, I’m not that good with multi-chapter fics, so I’m going to share the ideas I have for this AU!!

So:

- It’s a Danny and Damian are twins AU! Danny was an unnamed baby. He was weak and he was close to dying. Ra’s wanted him dead. Talia faked the baby’s death and tasked a loyal subordinate on his way to another mission in another state to drop the baby off somewhere safe. If the child were going to die, he should die in a place where he’ll feel love and care as a final gift from his mother.

- That love and care comes in the form of a two year old red head named Jazz who was out on a stroll with her giant father. It was sisterly-love at first sight on the baby left on the doorsteps of some old man that hated kids. Jazz wanted to keep the baby. And Jack, unable to say no to his princess, picks up the baby with such care, it was fatherly-love at first sight for Jack as well. Once the baby was brought home, cleaned and put into the yellow onesies Jazz once owned, Maddie had arrived home from shopping for some parts. One look at the baby, and it was motherly-love at first sight, too. When things start going wrong at their home, and the children are left to their own devices, Jazz would always care for her brother first.

- (I really didn’t think much about how they separate because I didn’t focus on that)

- Now, other than the explanation Danny gave, the importance of having a summoning ritual for the ghost king in this AU is in case the world truly is in danger and requires the ghost king’s help. Of course, while Pariah Dark was king, the summoning rituals were made difficult for the very reason that Pariah was an evil tyrant and shouldn’t be summoned because he will destroy the world rather than save it. 

- Now that Danny is King, the ghosts know that the kid won’t be abusing his powers, not even in the human world. So, even if it were a joke, it was really alright for his summoning ritual to be easy. Plus, they really did want to tick him off and make him learn the hard way that he should take what they’re trying to advise him seriously. Clockwork even told them it was okay!

- Thankfully, it wasn’t the Guys in White or, Ancients forbid, his parents that summon him! It was someone who’s like Wes, but chiller. Danny Really Does need to make it more complicated.

- But having his summoning ritual involve Making Burgers?? That’s the only easy part. Danny wants to also put in them being able to imitate the Mona Lisa Portrait, the Chicken Dance - SCRATCH THAT! MAKE THEM DO THE COFFIN DANCE!, and---

- Tim is looking at him with JUDGMENT. And Danny is offended because it was Tim that suggested Sandwich-making in the first place! And then, Tim AGREED to the burger making!! 

- Tucker thought it was a great idea when he returned to attend school! Sam doesn’t really care as long as the Burger doesn’t involve killing a cow by their hands and instead involves ground beef processed in the market.

- Tim tells him that they can make it complicated, but they are REMOVING THE MONA LISA AND COFFIN DANCE IDEA, and, like, Fine! Maybe having art and dance skills shouldn’t be a requirement!

- Tim then suggests that maybe the summoner should know the true value of ghosts, or, have knowledge that ghosts are sentient beings.

- Because Danny gives them a whole run-down on the laws involving ghosts that’s kept hush-hush by the government but is really there and hasn’t been changed. Tim wonders if Jason is really a zombie like he claims to be, or is actually half-ghost like Danny. But pushes it aside, because right now, researching on the internet on different burger recipes is confusing the fuck out of Bruce and Tim is thriving on it.

- But, to test Tim’s theory, Tim invites Jason to help them cook the different burger recipes. He advises Danny to be invisible while Jason does it, and he agrees. So, he transforms and turns invisible. But the moment Jason is there, Danny drops his invisibility, walks up to Jason, who’s in a daze, and cries while hugging the man. 

- The Ghost King has many powers. And seeing how a ghost had died is one of them. (A headcanon for this au, because why not? I think it’s pretty angsty and cool! But also, it’s like after defeating the previous Ghost King, the powers associated with being Ghost King is also passed on? For now, Danny is still training on how to get a hold of these powers. But in the future, he’ll be able to control his powers, so he won’t be seeing the past of every ghost he meets without their consent. Consent is sexy, guys.)

- While Danny is hugging Jason, the corrupted ectoplasmic energy was getting purified. But Danny can only do the purification in small doses. And, well, he doesn’t need to hug Jason to purify him, but Danny doesn’t want to tell Jason that because the big guy looks deprived of hugs. So a daily dose of purification hugs is recommended for our resident undead.

- Jason grumbles, but assents to it because he hasn’t felt this light in years. He also helps them make the burgers.

- “We should just say ‘Get Jason Todd to cook your burgers, buy some root beer, and draw the constellation with melted chocolate’” Danny says, enjoying the burgers.

- Bernard nods, licking a finger clean of ketchup and mustard. “You gotta teach me how to make burgers like this, man,” he says to Jason. “The only burger patties I cook are the ones already packaged.”

- Jason smirked. “I’m still a student,” he said. Bernard and Danny were in disbelief. But Tim only nodded. “Alfred is the real master. He’s British, but the only food he messes up are the waffles and mashed potatoes. Everything else, he’s excels.”

- “But... anyone can make mashed potatoes???????”

- “We have a bet going on that he messes them up on purpose because Bruce likes them that way.”

- It’s when Danny de-transforms that Jason blinks and goes, “Whoa, you look like the Demon Brat!”

- Which then just proves Tim’s theory that maybe being a ghost has something to do with people recognizing them as humans. Maybe there’s an instant glamour when you’re a ghost for strangers to be unable to recognize you? Maybe when the ghost allows it, you’d be able to recognize them even as they appear or transform in front of you? Do all ghosts have the ability to appear human? Or is it just Danny? Can Jason transform?? But is Jason even half-ghost??? 

- (In this au, I’m having the glamour only working on halfas., but only because they assume two identities. When you’re a full ghost, you don’t have a different identity just your ghost one. Jason is not a ghost, he’s mostly human, not fully, because even as a human there is ectoplasmic energy running in his veins. Jason’s eyes will be glowing when he’s experiencing strong negative emotions, but these negative emotions are now more manageable. So, Jason is a human with ectoplasmic energy running in his veins. He doesn’t have two identities to switch with. No glamour for him, but being purified does make him a little bit stronger. Not superman strong, but the kind when you’re on an adrenaline high.)

- But also, yep, Tim wasn’t imagining it. Danny did look like Damian.

- It was then Bernard takes out his board full of red string and shares his theory on why Danny could be Damian’s long lost twin brother. Tim was probably asleep when he put this board together.

- “Assassins? Really?” Danny asked, amused. “I mean, I know I’m adopted, but why would I be associated with assassins? Wouldn’t the assassins be watching over me and keeping a closer eye on me in case my twin can’t take over as heir and they’d need a placeholder??”

- And so Bernard goes on, on how Danny was the weaker one of the twins. And maybe the boss wanted only the strong one, and maybe his mother had some ounce of motherly sympathy for him to be brought into a loving family before he eventually died. And there wasn’t any assassin assigned to him because they were so sure he’d die. Danny did explain to them that he got sick easily when he was younger. But after the accident that killed him, he didn’t get sick anymore. (Danny didn’t tell them that he’s still alive, though. He just told them he died, while he’s in the ghost world, he defeated the previous ghost king, and now he’s the ghost king). 

- Cue Tim and Jason sweating in the background. Bernard could be right, because he mostly was right about Damian being associated with Assassins. But Danny doesn’t look convinced, just indulging, so thank goodness for that!

- So, it goes to a question on whether he wanted to meet Damian. But Danny tells them that he’ll think about it.

- So, they get on with choosing which burger “felt right”, but Danny decides to bring a burger he loves. From Nasty Burger. And asks Jason to try and make a better version.

- “Timmy, look for the recipe, will ya?”

- Danny is amused at the illegal hacking that was going on, but even if the recipe for Nasty Burgers might be a well-kept secret of the burger joint, he has no doubt these nerds will be able to find it.

- Tim downloads the recipe, Danny brings over the Nasty Burgers, they taste it and comments that it goes on par with Bat Burgers, to which Bernard arrives with his own batch for Danny to try. 

- And, they were right. They are on par with each other. They both have their own distinct flavors for their patties, it’s unreal!

- Danny then decides to let both be a requirement for the ritual. A better version for both Bat Burger and Nasty Burger as improved by Jason Todd. 

- After a full week of trying to make the perfect nasty burger and bat burger, Danny has to include all the other requirements for the ritual (like the root beer and how the constellation will be drawn, and that one requirement Tim suggested of the human having to have understanding of ghosts being more than just ghosts... Does Jason make a poem for Danny about it? Yes, he does. But nobody but Danny knows about this.)

-Finalized, The summoner has to read the poem out loud, draw the constellation with barbeque sauce, and place the ready-made burger by the summoner in the middle.

- Once Danny has put everything together, and tells the ghosts to update the summoning ritual, he asks Bernard to test it out (Jason ended up taking Bernard as a student in cooking).

- Danny appears in all his Ghost King glory, complete with a Nasty Burger Crown and Blanket Cape, with some cool neon green light show and some cool fog.

- It was a success! And they eat pizza as a celebration because they were sick of burgers already.

- They say good-bye to Danny. Danny tells them that he’ll still be visiting for Jason’s daily purification hugs, and they make plans for meeting up together.

....

- One day, Damian as Robin catches Jason in his safe-house watching a movie with Timothy, Bernard, and... a clone of himself? But that’s a story for another day.
