When: Now
Where: Bathaus



"Heeeeeeey."

Sometimes it's hard to find Tim, and sometimes it's too easy. When she does catch him today, she sidles up to him with the cutest smile she can manage.

This crap with Cass and Tim has gone on for way too long. Neither of them seemed to be even trying to talk it out, so it was up to her to play mediator and at least nudge Tim in the right direction.

Tim is a man of many skills and identities.

Tim avoids making eye contact with her for a moment. He knows that she knows. All someone has to do is look the two of them over and it is easy to tell that someone has not been as social as the other person. While Steph most likely has a nice, healthy, summer glow, Tim's looking a few shades paler.

"So, away from the city and more towards the fields?"

"Right. No shade for us today."

It's almost cute, the way he's immediately guilty. At least she's deciding not to read into this hermit-y stretch, the arm around him giving him a squeeze as she leans in to press a quick kiss to his jaw.

"Tell me if your skin starts to sizzle."

"I can't tell if that's a joke about the sun or if you are complimenting yourself." Responds in a teasing tone, before he turns his face to meet her lips. Kisses her on the lips and then places another on her cheek.

"It's about the sun and you, but I'll take it as a compliment, too. My pasty, pale boyfriend."

She laughs and gives him another squeeze. See? She can joke about him staying inside all the time, no fretting about his mental state or anything.

Tim appreciates it, and his body language is becoming increasingly relaxed. He doesn't want to get into a debate or a long, arduous discussion about how he spends his time. He just wants to spend a nice, peaceful afternoon together.

"Maybe for Halloween I can be a vampire."

"We'll use make up, not your actual skin. I don't think it's good for you to be translucent," she says, pinching his side gently. "Just remember, Tim. You want a rosy glow from the summer sun, because when I make you blush, it'll be less obvious."

No, not really, but if she can tease him about turning red, she'll damn well do it.
