"You ever think about the absolutely insane shit we went through just to get here?"
Tim glanced up from his computer as Kon came floating through the office door. "No," he admitted. "I try not to think in general, actually."
Kon nodded. "Gotta save it up for when Ra’s strikes, I getcha. But no! Idunno, I was talking with Bart and it hit me just how many different stages we’ve been in together."
Tim blinked at his husband’s words, before turning back to the computer. A few keypresses later and he’d saved the case file he was working on. He was sure Cass and Damian wouldn’t care if he was bit late—unlike Bruce, they actually had respect for others' time as Batman.
"Let’s see. Friends—" Tim raised one finger "—boyfriends—" two fingers "—spouses—" three fingers.
Kon shook his head disappointedly. “You’re missing a few there, Tim. Also isn’t the plural of spouse spice?”
"...You’re just saying that to fuck with me."
"Guilty. But no, really! We were lovers before I asked you out, technically."
Tim groaned, but raised a fourth finger. He raised an eyebrow as if to ask 'are you happy now?'
"—And after I died, I don’t think we count cause you got with Cassie for a bit—"
"I feel like ‘a bit’ is an exaggeration, but sure."
"—And if you think about it we were sorta kinda strangers when the clone of me from the future was in the Titans—"
"He’s more a clone of Jon than you, even if he does share your name."
"—And then even when I came back from Gemworld it was a bit unclear on what was even going on ‘cause you were back together with Steph, but like Steph didn’t really care, and then you got together with Bernard and broke my heart all over again—"
"'Because how could I choose someone else over you,'" Tim quoted, fingers curled. "Well given that I still didn’t remember that we were even married, and you hadn’t bothered informing me..."
"Like I said. Heartbroken. But then you finally got around to remembering the old rebirthed universe! And it only took a good fuck!"
"As glad as I am to be married to you again..." Tim gave a long suffering sigh. "What the hell was Bart saying that got you thinking about this?"
"Oh we were ranking how long superheroes had been together with their significant other. Superman and Lois win, by the way. But just think how many different states we’ve been in! Maybe we win that category."
