    Summary

    There’s a rumor going around the base. It’s an innocent one, it’s one that’s been following him for a while now. It never fails to make the guys laugh and the dames snicker behind their palms. It’s a rumor that, on a good day, makes him grin and shake his head bashfully and on a bad day it makes his chest ache something fierce.

    Summary

    “Just… answer the question,” he whispered, his voice cracking. “Have I been cheating on you?”

    Kenma looked down before giving a singular nod. “Yes.”

    Let’s take the “didn’t know they were dating” trope and add angst.

    Summary

    “I need your help,” Tim says. “I need - “ again, the liquid sloshes in his cup. He releases it to rub his hands over the fabric of his pants. “I need your help.”

    “Do you?” She is usually not the one approached for these sorts of things. Jason gets the calls, and Roy charms his way into information. She is merely a companion, one that most people stay away from. “What sort of help do you require, Tim Wayne?”

    There’s a flinch, so minute anyone else would have missed it. He lets out a harsh breath and grabs for his drink once more. He yanks his mask down in one swift motion and brings the straw to his lips. He drinks like someone who hasn’t had water in days, with a single minded determination Kori has seen plenty of men use to go at bottles in dark lit bars.

    His face is flushed. The red comes through in blotchy patches made worse by the stark white that splatters the lower left of his jaw. On his cheeks are two reddened slashes. They start at the corners of his lips and cut up towards his ears in diagonal lines.

    “Sanctuary,” he says, when his cup is empty and his mask is up once more. “I seek sanctuary.”

    -

    In the aftermath of Joker's torture, Tim runs to the only place left he can think of.

    Summary

    He peels the domino off of Tim’s face. The blown blood vessels are back in the whites of Tim’s eyes, and the dark circles are dire again, blue-purple and sunk in deep.

    “You wanna tell me how much sleep you didn’t get today?” Jason says.

    ++

    Tim’s insomnia is out of control. Jason helps.
