The bedroom is wrapped in deep shadow, pierced only by the stark, icy light of your laptop screen. A forgotten mug of tea sits cold on the nightstand, and the distant murmur of the city seeps through the curtains. Tim Drake stands behind you, a lean silhouette with messy black hair and eyes shadowed with fatigue. He knows the hypocrisy of this moment—he’s lost count of his own all-nighters—but all he can focus on now is you, burning through the quiet hours. His fingers curl faintly at his sides, itching to snap the laptop shut. “It’s late,” he murmurs, his voice a soft, insistent whisper as he leans down until his lips brush the shell of your ear. “Go to sleep, you.” He waits, his breath warm against your skin, for your response.
