Tim/Cass fic part four
Ok, there's actually a lot more to this part, but for the sake of peoples' comfort levels I've edited the scene out. If it seems to stop abruptly, that's why.
It's fast getting to the part I'm struggling with - this story so needs an action scene, but I just can't write it *sigh*
Hope you like!
When the disco finished, we were still too wide awake to go to sleep, so we decided to watch TV in our room for a while. There was a weird Science-fiction film already started, so we watched it, neither of us trying to understand what was supposed to be happening.
We lay with the pillows at the foot of the bed, staring at the TV, and trying to ignore just how close we were to each other. Becoming bored, I turned to watch her instead, studying every facet of her face in a way I’d never been able to before.
Seeing her so relaxed was unusual, and I was surprised at how comfortable I felt in her company.
Noticing my scrutiny, she turned to look at me and our eyes locked. My stomach did back flips as those dark eyes gazed into mine. I felt like I was falling into them, and before I knew it, we were nose to nose.
“Tim?” she questioned, her expression puzzled, but there was no rejection there. Not yet, anyway.
“I…” I tried to pull back, but I couldn’t move. Then she did something that surprised me.
She kissed me.
I don’t know what I had expected her to do; turn away? Hide in the bathroom? Strike me? But I didn’t expect her to do that!
Feeling brave, and maybe a little crazy, I kissed her back. Just a brief kiss, our lips only just touching, but her cheeks flushed and her pupils dilated. She took hold of my shirt, and pulled me closer for a deeper kiss, which I happily obliged, all sense having deserted me.
I started running my hands up and down her back, caressing her in a way I’d never been able to before, and was suddenly realising I’d wanted to for some time. She sighed happily, and brought her body up closer to mine. She ran her fingers over my ribs and I moaned softly, enjoying her touch.
We came up for air shortly after, and I looked in her eyes, trying to gauge what I saw. She looked calm, happy, and was holding me very close with no reluctance at all.
But…I realised the consequences of where we were headed, and my heart sank, “This isn’t a good idea.” I managed to mutter. Sadness descended on Cass’s expression, which made my heart ache even further.
“You don’t like me?” she questioned, looking hurt
I ran a hand down her cheek, still marvelling at being able to touch her, “I do, Cassandra, I honestly do. I’m only just realising how much.”
“Then what problem?”
“It …could make things awkward between us.”
She scowled, “Did not stop you and Spoiler.”
I stared, “Steph and I…we didn’t….”
“Do it?” she stated bluntly
I nodded, swallowing, “Is that where you want this to lead to?” I asked, desperate to know what was going on in her mind.
She blushed, which only made me feel even more tense than I already was, “It go where it go.” She muttered, pressing her face into my shoulder. I held her close to me for a few minutes, then gently took her chin in my palm to bring her eyes to meet mine.
“Nothing should happen that we’re not ready for.” I whispered, “If you don’t want me to keep touching you, say so now. Because I swear to God, Cass….”
She smiled at me, kissing me again with more feeling this time, and I gasped when she nuzzled my neck. My hands began to roam her body, stroking up and down her back.
I awoke an hour later, disturbed by some noise in the hallway, and stared in wonder at the figure asleep in my arms. She looked so innocent, and not a little bit beautiful. Affection filled me as I watched her sleep, soon followed by the realisation that I’d felt like this for a long time. Maybe Ives had been right after all, about both of us.
Then I began to feel afraid; afraid about how she might feel when she woke up, how the others would feel when we got back home…and how would we feel when we got home? Would having to return to being Batgirl and Robin make us regret our impulsive actions?
I suddenly needed to talk to someone about this – someone who could be objective, but knew the full implications of what could happen. I carefully extricated myself from the bed, dressed quickly and picked up a pen and paper from the desk.
Just gone for a walk, to get some air.
Will be back soon!
Love, Tim
I momentarily wondered at the wisdom of the way I signed off the note, but shrugged that thought aside. Grabbing the small notebook computer I’d brought with me, just in case, I quietly left the room and headed for the lobby. I remembered there was a bench just outside the hotel entrance, and knew it would be empty at such an early hour.
I waited impatiently while the computer loaded up, and the Instant Message software logged in. Sure enough, there was the person I wanted to speak to; ‘RollerThunder’ – my sister Babs.
Almost immediately an instant message notification appeared, requesting a video feed. This particular notebook had been built to Babs’ specifications, so it had a webcam built in. I accepted the request, and Barbara Gordon’s friendly face appeared on screen.
“Hey whippersnapper! Knew it wouldn’t take you long to sign in on that thing!” she chuckled,
I smiled back, “Considering it’s almost Sunday morning, I think I did quite well.”
“Yes you did.” She grinned, then her eyes narrowed with concern, “What’s wrong, Tim? Is Cass okay?”
Sighing, I rubbed the back of my neck, “Yeah, she’s fine. She’s asleep right now.”
“Then what’s wrong?” she pressed, “Come on squirt, I can see worry in your eyes.”
Dammit, she knows me too well.
“Something…happened last night we… didn’t expect. I’m kinda freaked out.” I admitted.
Head tilted, Babs looked at me curiously, “Don’t tell me you guys slept together!”
I blushed furiously. Babs’ eyes widened in shock,
“You did?” she was stunned, but then a massive grin spread across her face, “Oh my God, Tim…!”
“I know, I know…” I sighed, “This where you start lecturing me about safe sex?”
“Did you use protection?” she demanded
“Of course we bloody did!” I whispered through clenched teeth. Babs blinked at me, and I sighed, “Sorry…like I said, I’m a bit freaked out.”
“And you’re picking up the local euphemisms,” she grinned, “Well, it sounds as though that lecture isn’t necessary. Are you okay about what happened?”
I exhaled, “Yeah…I think I am, actually. I’m not sure how Cass feels yet, but I gave her every possible out, and neither of us drank anything intoxicating last night – we’re still too young even in this country.”
Babs nodded, “So what do you want to happen next, kiddo?”
“I’m not sure…I think I need to see where Cass wants to go with this…” I sighed, “Babs, did I just sleep with my sister?”
Babs sighed, understanding how I might feel that way, “No, sweetie, you just slept with my sister.” Somehow, that reassured me a little.
“You won’t say anything to Bruce, will you?” I pleaded, “I don’t think I could cope with his reaction just yet.”
Bab’s mouth quirked up into a smirk, “Don’t worry, Tim, I won’t. Been there, bought the t-shirt.”
I groaned, “Is there something about Batgirl and Robin? Is it fated?”
She laughed, “It seems that way, doesn’t it. But don’t worry, if this is more than just a weekend fling, Bruce will come to accept it. Eventually.” I snorted. Babs smiled sympathetically, “And if he doesn’t,” she continued, “Alfred will give him an earful until he at least agrees not to scowl disapprovingly at you both.” She waggled her eyebrows, grinning.
I had to laugh at that. “I love you, Babs.”
“I love you too, Tim. Now go back to bed – it’s not too long till daybreak over there, and you two will need to talk before you meet your friends for breakfast.”
I had to admit she was right there. “Night Babs. See you tomorrow.” I said, noting that it was technically already Sunday.
She nodded, “Goodnight, Tim. Give Cass my love when she wakes up.”
“Will do.” And she was gone. I shut the computer down, feeling much calmer.

It's definitely how Tim would react to sleeping with Cass. I can't wait for Bruce's of Alfred's reactions. :D
no subject
The next part's where the action scene should come in *sigh*. I've written the whole story but that bit.
There's no reaction scene from Alfred or Bruce, but I did start on a sequel in a moment of boredom back in february (I've been writing this since September!) where Dick and Alfred meet them off the plane and some teasing ensues... ;-)
no subject
(You can tell I just love to read Alfred teasing anyone.)
