【jaytim】Falling In Love In Just a Week

Chapter 8 8

When Tim woke up, he was crushed under Jason.

His mind raced back to yesterday, so they really... made the most of everything, like it was the last day they'd ever see each other.The kind where the end is coming and they will be parted forever.

Jason was in a deep sleep, and Tim was miserable.Yesterday was certainly... interesting.Exciting.His heart beat quickened by something about Jason.There is no doubt about the charm of the other party. If they had not met every time in the past two years except for quarreling or venting their anger, Tim might have fallen.

However, Tim also thoroughly deepened his understanding of Jason in the last week.

To be honest he was intimidated.

Glancing at the red rope connecting the two, he swallowed hard.Wondering what Jason is dreaming about right now, it's probably not Tim.He probably doesn't take yesterday's events as seriously as Tim does.To him maybe yesterday was just physical and sexual urges.Tim happens to be there if you like - why should Jason be reserved?It's impossible to make him fall for Tim and develop an intimacy beyond friendship in just one week.

Tim got up softly and ran into the bathroom.He tidied up quickly, got dressed, went to the kitchen, opened the drawer, took out post-it notes and a pen, and wrote a note in scribbled handwriting.

More on that later.

Tim wanted to throw it away after writing it, but decided to at least leave a letter for the other party.A second later, he sighed, signed his name underneath, and left the apartment.At the end of the week, he was finally able to get away from Jason.There is no longer a rule of not being more than thirty feet apart.

This is what Tim is most afraid of.He didn't want Jason to wake up and find that seven days had passed, and there was no need to worry about cutting the red line.Especially after what happened yesterday.

Kang gently placed the man on top of the titan.

"You didn't say a word during the flight," his pal noted.

Tim shrugged and shoved his hands into his sweatshirt pockets. "There's nothing to say." Kang snorted after hearing this.

"Yes, Red Week is over, you called me in a hurry and asked me to fly over to pick you up, and then there was no more."

Tim and Kang entered the building one after the other.He put on his civilian clothes but wore a mask—anyone can come and go in Titan Tower at will these days.

"It's complicated."

Before he could speak, a gust of wind blew towards Tim, and Bart stopped in front of him.He's not in uniform either, and he's holding a big bag of potato chips in his arms, his hair blown skyward, as always. "Tim! You're back!"

"And I think our friends are in a crisis," Kang said.

"Oh... Isn't Red Week over?" Bart stared at the red string protruding from Tim's pocket.

"Yeah," Tim said.

"Why is the rope still there? I thought you were going to break it, didn't you?"

"Can we move somewhere else?" Tim begged.

"Go to your room," said Bart, who was coming and going like a breeze, and disappeared.Tim sighed and exchanged glances with Kang, who had just shrugged in agreement.

"What about the rest?"

"Casey went out with the Amazons," Kang explained, one by one. "It's better this way, actually. Rose she--I guess she ran away. Something happened yesterday."

"What's wrong? Is it something bad? Why don't you call me?"

"Ah? No." Kang shook his head quickly. "And I called you. Called many times. Texted. Some people are not answering the phone."

Tim blushed, remembering how busy he was yesterday.Lie naked in Jason's arms all day long, developing a variety of poses. "Uh..." By this time they were in Tim's room, and Bart was already lying on his bed with potato chip crumbs everywhere.

"I'll clean it later!" Speedster shouted as soon as he saw them enter the door.

Tim closed the door behind him. "So, tell me what happened yesterday?"

"Oh, Eddie and Zack are soul mates," Bart explained. "I guess Rose she... you know, she and Eddie always had a little bit of an affair, but neither of them took it any further. And then she went away."

soul mate.They are really afraid that the world will not be chaotic.Tim sighs and sits next to Bart.

"Okay, it's time to talk about you? Why are you still tied to Todd?" Kang Fa asked.

"I slipped away early."

"so?"

"I mean...me. I slept with Jason and I ran away the next morning."

Kang and Bart were immediately stunned speechless.After a long time, Bart raised his hands.

"You said you slept with Jason Todd?!"

"What a surprise. He's my soul mate," Tim said.

Kang smiled. "Yeah, but that's like... Leaving aside the fact that he's supposed to be your brother, he's trying to kill you. You two can't be called friendly after that. You're always complaining about him, and it's really bitter. "

Tim shrugged.He didn't know what to say, his eyes wandered, and he couldn't stand the look of shock mixed with judgment on the faces of his two best friends. "Well...a lot of things happened in between."

"So you slept with Jason. Is that good?" Bart asked.

"Bart!"

"What's the matter? Don't you always mutter that you were obsessed with him when you were a child?"

Tim kneads the sheet under his hands. "right……"

"Does he know?"

"Not knowing? That, uh" Tim cleared his throat.The heat on his face was rising. "It's cool." It's just that the soreness has not passed, but they don't need to know about it.

"Please tell me you did it once," Kang said casually.Tim said nothing. "Twice? Three times? Four times?!" Tim twisted his head in embarrassment. "Damn it. Tim!"

"That's our last day, isn't it?"

"One day?" Bart whistled. "what's next?"

"I didn't know. So I ran away." Tim wailed and buried his face in the pillow.

"Why did you run away?" Kang wondered.

"I was afraid Jason would wake up and... cut the red line," Tim said truthfully.

"Tim...do you like him?" Fortunately, Bart's mouth was full of potato chips, otherwise Tim would have suffered a greater mental shock.

"It's hard to say. Maybe I like it. I don't know."

Kang coughed a few times. "Dude. I personally don't know what Red Week is like because I haven't experienced it yet, but it must be pretty exciting to make you fall in love with Jason."

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself," Bart smiled. "You've done it so many times, I'm sure he likes you too."

Tim stared at his pals. "He doesn't like it. Even if he does, he doesn't want to keep a soul mate. I get it - he explained it well. I can totally understand why he doesn't want a partner." He stares at his red threads and sighs.

"He hasn't cut it yet," Kang said, "Maybe he wants you."

"I don't think so," Tim said. "He's probably just being considerate."

"Caring? Are we still talking about the same Red Hood?" Bart exclaims.

Tim shrugged. "That's him! I mean, he's a jerk, but he's really nice. And funny. That is, with him..." He flushed. "Forget it. I didn't say it. Can we go to eat? I haven't had breakfast or coffee yet."

"Where's the old Tim who didn't eat breakfast?" Kang teased.

"Have breakfast cooked by Xijie," Tim said unambiguously.

"Jay?"

------------------

Tim turned off his phone.He didn't dare to check the incoming call.Jason was probably blown out of anger.Don't blame him, Tim ran away because he was afraid to face his feelings, and Jason probably just wanted to cut the connection quickly and act like yesterday never happened.

"Tim." Kang knocked on his bedroom door first, and then opened the door to come in.

Tim sat up. "What's up?"

"There's your number." He held up his phone, and Tim wrinkled his nose.

"I said I didn't want to answer the phone."

"Kashan is calling, and I can't hang up on Kashan," Kang told him.This is true.Tim sighed understandingly, and reached out to take the mobile phone handed over by the other party.It was a video call, and he could immediately see the look of the girl opposite.Kang walks out of the room consciously, at least he understands that Tim wants to be alone for the time being.

"Tim," Kashan greeted.His sister was smiling, with black hair brushed behind her ears, and what looked like pink pajamas.

"So... Jason's business?" Tim asked.

"Yes, he told us."

"Listen—I can explain." He couldn't. "I'll be back tomorrow. Tell him if he can't wait to cut the red line, please do it yourself."

Kashan raised her eyebrows and tilted her head slightly.There was only curiosity in the black eyes without making irresponsible remarks, and he felt comforted in his heart. "are you OK?"

"Not good," Tim said simply. "Is Stephen here?" They lived together for two years, and it was not surprising that she was in Tim.

"Yes. She wants to talk to you."

Tim could imagine what Stephen would have to say. "Kassan, this is complicated."

"I understand." Kashan raised her hand, and tapped her ring finger together with her middle and index fingers. "After all... I am also from here."

Tim never really considered what was going on in Cassan's mind when he bonded with Stephanie.He only thought about himself, and Cass must have been feeling bad at the time.She gets close to Tim and turns out you are the true love of your friend's object...  

"I like him," Tim confesses calmly. "I don't know what to do after that."

"So you escaped."

"So I ran away," Tim repeated.

"Timothy Jackson Drake!" Stephanie yelled, before her face squeezed into the screen.With her hair combed into a high ponytail, her whole face was flushed with anger.

"Wow, even the first and last name?"

"Go back to Gotham," Stephanie said. "There's a dying Jason Todd outside our house."

"Where's Jason?!" Tim exclaimed.He tried to hang up, but Cassan shook her head.

"Don't worry," Kassan said.

"I won't let him in. But Tim, what the hell is going on? Why does Jason look like a kicked dog?"

Tim scratched the back of his head.

"He likes him," Kassan explained to her girlfriend.Stephanie blinked, then turned her face towards Tim.

"Well, now you have even more reason to go back to Gotham. Tell Kang to fly you back."

"No," Tim said immediately. "I can't go back yet."

Stephanie rolled her eyes. "No, you can."

"No, I can't! You—you've got to understand what's going on. How hard it is."

Stephanie pursed her lips and narrowed her eyes. "What if Jason cut the rope? What would you do?"

Tim shrugged. "There's nothing I can do about it. It's a matter of time."

Jason doesn't want a soul mate.I didn't want to in the past, and I will do the same in the future.It's not possible to completely convert someone in just one week, let alone that mate is Tim, who was just a 'stand-in' a week ago.

"You idiot," Stephanie said. "How do I get rid of him now?"

"I don't know. Tell him, I'll go back tomorrow."

"Are you sure?" Cass asked back.

"I've got to talk to him," Tim said. “But I’m not ready yet.” Prepare to be rejected, to have your red cords cut, to lose forever the fact that you ever had a soulmate.Unlike Damian and Colin, Stephanie and Kassan.It's not even like the complicated relationship between Bruce and Selena.There is no future between him and Jason.

"Okay," Stephanie said. "But you have to explain exactly how you feel about him."

"Why?" Tim asked. "Anyway, it doesn't matter if you say it or not. If you say it, it will make the situation worse."

"Tim, Jason is really like a dog that got kicked away because you ran away and turned into Kang's arms," ​​Stephanie said. "I don't think it's like he... doesn't care."

"We're friends," Tim said.

"Have you done it?" Kashan asked casually.

"Uh……"

Stephanie screamed. "what have you done?"

"See you." Tim said and hung up the phone.It wouldn't be wise to hang up on Cassian, but he really wasn't in the mood to go any further than that right now.

Jason just doesn't care that way.Maybe he sensed that Tim's feelings for him had changed recently, and he felt sorry for how things had turned out... Tim closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Don't worry about it anymore, he told himself.So far, it's all over.

Both of them feel lost in love
