I got the green light. I got a little fight.

[dorkwonder]

When: Throughout the day.
Where: Bathaus.
Rating: PG-13 at most.



Weeks like this past one make it increasingly more difficult for Tim to want to continue on as the role of Alvin Draper. While he was useful at times, he wasn't quite as useful as he wanted to be. Back in Gotham, maintaining his civilian identity had been costly at times, but in the end the pros outweighed the cons. He's not sure if that's true for Paradisa.

Sighs softly, slouching back in the couch, and tilts his head backwards so he's looking up at the ceiling. At least the madness is over for the time being, although he's already dreading what Paradisa will have in-store for them come Halloween.

"Once in a blue moon. But it's okay," she assures, because she and Cass make sure he has fun when he's not off doing whatever or buried in a book. "We still love you the most."

[hellofist]

That gets an immediate nod, there's no hesitation on that front.

"The absolute most." But it still doesn't seem like enough, so Cass gives Tim another affectionate squeeze. "What would... make you happiest, here? We should do something. Something special."

[dorkwonder]

"I love you both, too." Kisses Steph briefly on the lips, and then he plants a kiss on Cass' cheek.

"Having the two of you here with me is already more than enough to make it happy." And he means it. Despite the ups and downs the three of them have had, their house is more than a house to him; it's a place he can call home.

[secondchances]

"Come onnnnn, stop being so sappy," Steph teases, giving him a gentle jab in the shoulder. "We can't just stay here all day. Well. We could, I guess, but your legs and arms are going to fall asleep."

[hellofist]

Yay, kisses! She's distracted for a second by that little show of affection, but it doesn't last long.

"Doesn't have to... be today. Could be whenever. Think of something, we'll do it. Just us three."

[dorkwonder]

Smirks at Steph, who is so quick to rain on their warm fuzzies parade!

"Now that you mention it, I think they are already starting to." Removes his arm from Cass for the time being, allowing himself to lazily drape over Steph. See? He can be silly when he wants to be.

[secondchances]

"Oh, really."

She loves silly Tim the best, because she's almost always silly herself. Steph lets herself slide down the sofa.

"I'm being squished."

Not really, but help, Cass.

[hellofist]

Well, she could help, but she did just say they could all do the thing Tim chose to do together. So she'll just lean over to lay across his back, adding her own body weight to his to smoosh Steph down into the sofa a little more. With her chin resting on his shoulder, she grins down at her friend.

"How sad, Stephanie."

[dorkwonder]

Once Steph flops over, Tim completely drapes himself over her, shortly followed by Cass piling on top of him. He's doing his best to keep a straight face, which is proving to be quite challenging because his lips want to break into a grin.

"Yep, they are completely done for. I won't be able to move for awhile, sorry."

[secondchances]

Oof. Steph laughs, though it's a little wheezy due to the pressure on her ribs. It's not too bad, though.

"That's cool you guys, I'll just suffocate down here."

[hellofist]

Yep, Cass shows no signs of moving. She looks pretty comfortable, actually.

"Tim picked this. You're stuck, til he... picks something else."

Literally. Literally stuck.

[dorkwonder]

Tim is right there with Cass; Steph makes for a fantastic pillow. Wraps his arms around her, nuzzling her neck with his face.

"Hmm, nothing is popping into my mind. The longer I stay like this, the less brain power I have." Tim smirks to himself, knowing Steph is likely to try and make a quip out of his last statement.

[secondchances]

Too easy. She's momentarily distracted by that nuzzling because god dammit Tim, sometimes she forgets how cute you can be.

"Geez Tim, not with Cass in the room," she grins.

[hellofist]

"Like that's... ever stopped you, before." Cass says, rolling her eyes. They're both so silly. "Either of you."

[dorkwonder]

"It's all Steph's fault." Try as he might, Tim's not able to completely fend off his snicker. If Steph's going to blame him, he might as well shift the blame her way.

[secondchances]

"No way, you're just a boy," Steph laughs, and Cass can probably tell what's coming even before Steph frees her arms to tickle Tim's sides.

[hellofist]

Somehow, everything always seems to lead to a tickle fight.

And Cass is ready for it, reaching out to tickle Tim just when Steph's hands reach him so they can perform a double attack.

[dorkwonder]

"Hey!" Tim should have known it would lead to this. He starts to laugh while squirming to get free. Lets go of Steph and attempts to roll over and off of the couch.

[secondchances]

"No! Nononono, stay!" She's glad they all have their voices back right now, because she's missed laughing at Tim's freaking out. She tries to shift his weight (and Cass') back towards the back of the couch. "You're gonna make Cass fall!"

[hellofist]

No way, Cass is abandoning the sinking ship that is Tim's back, rolling off him so she lands on top of Steph instead. He can fall if he wants, they'll just get up and chase him down once they've gotten their cuddle fix.

[dorkwonder]

Steph's almost able to pull Tim back until Cass abandons ship. Then Tim yelps in surprise as he ungracefully tumbles off the couch and lands on the ground with a loud thud.

"Ooof!"

Fortunately, Tim looks a-okay. If he has any injuries they can be found in his ego.

[secondchances]

"Whoops."

Steph doesn't seem too upset, wrapping her arms around Cass and lifting her head to make sure Tim didn't crack his open. Good? Good.

"You seem to have fallen."

[hellofist]

It's true, Steph does make the best pillow ever. Cass certainly looks happy where she is, peering at Tim down there on the floor.

"So far away, now. How will... you ever make it back?"

[dorkwonder]

Looks up at the two of them, resting his chin in the palm of his hand, and raising his brows.

"I don't know. Maybe if someone would be kind enough to lend a hand..."

[secondchances]

Steph takes some time to consider this, then stretches out her hand. Not like she really has any leverage to help pull him, but there's a hand offered, so. That counts! For something.
