It's freezing in here.
Tim was stuck in a meeting and the temperature was all he could think about
Who the hell put the AC on when its already cold outside?!
If only he could be in the red robin suit with its thermal layers and gloves, oh gloves would be heaven right now.
His fingers felt numb as they drummed lightly against the desk.
Tim had tuned out of the meeting a while ago - it was about some interdepartmental logistical issue that didn't really need his input, but as CEO he had to show up.
He definitely wishes he had listened to Bernard this morning and skipped this.
Because of this meeting he'd had to get out of his nice warm bed, complete with many blankets and his cosy boyfriend, and go out into the cold October weather just for some meeting he didn't really need to be here for.
His cold hands are starting to ache and he wishes he could be with Bernard and slot his freezing fingers between Bernard's warm ones. Bernard would complain about how freezing Tim's hands were but they'd both know he doesn't mind.
Tim snaps back to his current situation when the meeting room door opens and Tam is stood there: "Sorry for interrupting but there's someone here to see Mr Drake-Wayne urgently"
Tim was up immediately, quickly excusing himself from the meeting.
Well this was confusing. And worrying. Was it Bruce? Or one of his siblings? Was there an Arkham breakout? No they'd send an alert, not come here in person. Maybe he's made a big mistake in his WE work somewhere and Bruce has come to fire him. Or maybe his latest case-
Tam cut through his thoughts, as if she could see the cogs of ‘worst case scenarios’ turning in his mind, "It's nothing bad, just a little surprise. And also a way out of that meeting that you didn't need to attend."
"Thanks Tam, but what's going on? Who's here?"
"You'll see"
And with that Tim knew he wouldn't be getting any answers so he just went with Tam in companionable silence.
When he opened the door to his office, he wasn't expecting the mop of blonde hair and the sweet smile of his boyfriend to be there
"Hey" said Bernard
"Hey yourself, I thought you had classes today?"
"They got cancelled 'cause the heating was out in the building I was supposed to be in. Sooo, the cold reminded me that I should come and see my boyfriend who is almost certainly freezing in the only meeting room in WE that has no heating but is the only one you ever have meetings in." Bernard stated as if it was the most obvious thing to do, which to him it was, as he took Tim's hands in his own.
Tim threaded his fingers through Bernard's amazingly warm hands and rested his head on Bernard's shoulder.
They stayed like that for quite a while
