Work Text:
Tim loved his family very much. Yes they were difficult at times, but he knows they mean well. However, he can not understand their dislike for Kon. Like yes, he’s a clone of Superman created by Lex Luthor but they got over that. Now he’s just Kon, the superboy of Meltropolist. Tim’s personal superboy.
Now onto what's happening now, Tim was planning to sneak out to go to a party with Kon. The only problem was making sure no one found out. Tim was on his way downstairs going through the hallway to the dining room. They didn’t use it very often , only when most of the family came over. Like today, it was almost a full house. Tim arrived through the door taking notice of who was here. At the head of the table was Bruce, to his left was Dick and then Damian, next to him was Steph. On the right was Jason,next to him Duke. Leaving a spot for him across from Steph. Tim took his seat as Alfred began serving the food.
Everyone began to dig in, and conversations started. Dick was talking to Damian about the latest animal the toddler was interested in. Steph , Duke and Jason were talking about this new thing that happened at Duke’s school. Bruce was silently enjoying everyone’s company, his face not quite having a smile but something close to it.
Tim was trying to eat his dinner as normal as possible. But he couldn’t stop thinking about Kon. None of his family knew he was dating anybody, much less the kryptonian. It wasn’t your typical romance between the two. There was no love at first sight, they actually disliked each other at first.
It took a while for them to overcome their differences and actually enjoy each other’s presence. Tim hated how carefree Kon was about everything, how much it seemed like he didn't care about the job they were doing. While Kon thought Tim was a stuck up brat who didn’t care what others thought.
It took a near death experience for them to actually start to trust each other. It might have been Kon who fell first, but Tim fell harder.
“Hey Tim, you okay? You’re looking a bit red there.” Dick asked, effectively stopping Tim’s thoughts about Kon.
”Oh.” Tim replied, still trying to process what was asked of him. “Yeah, yea I’m fine. Just must be coming down with something, I don’t know.” Tim shrugged.
Jason chuckled, “Uh huh sure. You sure you’re not dreaming of a crush Timtam?” That effectively made Tim go even more red. Because it was true he was dreaming of a crush. Or is it still a crush if you’re dating the person?
”shut up Jason.” Ugh that was so lame.
“Jay, leave him alone. “ Dick says laughing, and the matter is dropped. Yes it was an off hand comment that needed no rebuttal. Besides Tim wasn’t interested in anyone, not enough to have a crush. At least that’s what the bats thought.
“There’s no way Tim is into someone and I don’t know about it.” Steph added. Him and Steph were on good terms but he wasn’t sure how she’d react to him dating Kon.
Tim rolls his eyes at her comment. Normally he would tell Steph everything, but not only was he worried about her reaction, the thrill of the secret sent shivers down his spine. It was amazing how he knew something no one else did, it was his alone.
Conversations shifted after that, and no one paid attention to Tim. That was good though, he was bursting with excitement about his date with Kon and he didn’t want to blow it.
——-
Dinner ended and with it soon came patrol. Tim couldn’t skip out on patrol without drawing suspicion, he was known to fight when benched. So Tim had to go out as Robin.
Tim made his way over to the locker room to begin suiting up for patrol. The others were doing the same, with Jason and Dick having their backup suits in the cave. Normally the two were off on their own, Dick in Blud and Jason in one of his safe houses.
As Tim opened his locker, he started undressing to begin putting on his under clothes. There was nothing special going on tonight, it should be an easy patrol Tim thought, Soon I’ll be able to see Kon. Tim let a small smile out at the thought.
Tim shook his head, it was a good thing he was in front of his locker, otherwise his brothers would question his giddy expression. Tim finished getting dressed as he put his gloves on and grabbed his utility belt and bo staff.
He walked out of the locker room along with Dick, now Nightwing sans the mask, to see Bruce in full Batman swag at the batcomputer. Tim walked up to him, mask in hand. He turned, watching as Jason stepped out of the locker room, his helmet in his hands. While the boys went around fighting crime, Damian was upstairs with Alfred. It was almost the boy’s bedtime.
Dick walked up to him and Bruce, “What’s the plan tonight, B?”
——-
Tim thought he was doing a pretty good job hiding his excitement as patrol was getting close to an end. He stopped some muggers, dealt with some drunks, and even helped a girl get home. All in all a pretty good night,of course that had to be ruined when Nightwing came up to join him in heading back to the cave.
”What’s got you acting so weird?” His brother asked, laughing all the while and he grappled to a nearby roof.
“Nothing. Just- closed a case is all.” Tim said, trying to throw his brother off from figuring it out. He didn’t think he was that obvious. He has to be careful now or he won’t be able to sneak out under his annoying older brother’s watch. Worse Dick can mention his worries to Bruce, and that’s another can of worms he doesn’t want to worry about.
“Mmh.” Dick hums, he doesn’t look suspicious but Tim doesn’t think he buys it. He can tell his brother is dropping it now though. Gonna have to be careful later, Tim thinks as the two slip through the entrance to the batcave.
Tim can’t wait to take a shower and get this grim off. Gotham is home, but she stinks when swinging around rooftops. Tim makes his way to the showers, thinking about what he’s gonna wear later when he meets Kon. He should wear that new crop top he got with the super logo.
He smiles to himself, missing the conversation happening at his back.
——-
It’s now or never, Tim thinks as he texts Kon that he’s coming. He gets back a kissy face emoji. Tim smiles and giggles, as he begins pulling out his outfit. It’s nothing drastic, just some baggy jeans, his converses, and of course his new crop top. It hangs off of one shoulder when he puts it on, exposing his collar bone.
Tim grabs his wallet and phone and begins undoing all the security in his window. He already planned for if B comes in and checks on him. There are some human shaped pillows under his blankets to resemble him. It’s a classic for a reason. Bruce shouldn’t look too long at it and then move on with his day- er night.
It doesn’t take him long to undo everything in his window and Tim begins the climb down the window to the tree. Younger Tim knew what he was doing when he picked this room. Tim made sure to leave a small crack in his window for him to sneak back in later.
He smiles to himself as he reaches the bottom of the tree and begins sneaking across the lawn to his escape. Soon enough he’s meeting Kon and the two travel down Gotham towards some college party the other heard about.
Sure Tim’s only 15 but he was turning 16 soon in a month. Kon wasn’t much older. Technically he was 5, but with Cadmus he came out of the tub a teenager. He was only two years older than Tim, but his birthday came sooner than Tim’s making him 18.
Tim didn’t mind what age Cadmus made him, Kon was just his boyfriend to him.
——-
Tim was sitting on the couch of some stranger’s house making out with Kon. It was sloppy and very obviously drunk on his part. Tim could hold his alcohol to a decent amount but he was still just a teenager. After a few drinks Tim didn’t care.
Kon drew his tough out licking at Tim’s lips. Tim smiled at the touch and moved to touch the back of Kon’s head. Kon’s hands grabbed at Tim’s waist, pulling him into his lap. Tim giggled at the change and began to kiss along Kon’s jaw. Kon moaned at the touch, hands moving down to grip at Tim’s ass. At the touch, Tim rocked his hips down grinding on Kon’s clothed dick.
It felt as if the two were the only ones in the room. Of course this had to be ruined when the door slammed open. Everyone looked towards the door, the room falling into silence as two figures walked into the room. Tim and Kon look back to see who exactly walked through the door. Two people that Tim knows very well had just walked through the door. Tim silently gasps as he makes eye contact with his two older brothers.
Tim scrambles out of Kon’s lap, effectively sobering up as his brothers make their way to them. Kon tenses next to him and Tim just thinks of where he messed up.
Dick and Jason round the couch, with the latter of the two grabbing Tim’s forearm. “Wait wait wait, Jason!” Tim yells, panic in his eyes as he’s dragged out of the house by his older brother. He just feels embarrassed at having to be dragged out by his brothers, he feels like a little kid with his hand in the cookie jar. Dick follows them out, Kon reluctantly going as well. Once outside the house Tim effectively breaks free from Jason’s grip. “What the hell dude?” Tim questions ,rubbing his arm and walking back a few steps to stand next to Kon.
His brother rounds on him, “Seriously that’s what you have to say?!” Hands on his hip as he yells at Tim.
Dick looks at Tim, “What were you thinking?” He says through his teeth, “Going out to a party and drinking!? You’re 15 Tim!”
Tim looks down, this was not how his night was supposed to go. He was supposed to be making out on that couch with Kon, something that was rudely interrupted by his brothers. “So?” Tim says, looking up at his brother. “I bet you went to parties and drank at my age. What’s so different?”
”The difference is you ain’t us brat. And we weren’t hanging around people that could hurt us.” Jason said, stepping forward and glaring down at his little brother. Now that just made Tim mad.
”Kon wouldn’t hurt me!” Tim screamed at his brother. Dick sighed, “Tim you’re drunk you need to come home.”
He made moves to grab Tim’s hand but Tim just stepped back. “No, I don't want to go home with you. I want to stay with my boyfriend.” And yea Tim is going to regret that in the morning. But present Tim didn’t care.
Both Dick and Jason stared at this new reveal, and both their faces hardened. “Okay that’s it.” Jason said, and he stepped forward before Tim could react and picked him up. Tim screamed at him to put him down, kicking his feet out while pounding at his back. Jason began to walk away as Dick looked to Kon who looked shell shocked. “If I were you, I would go home. You should stay away too.” With that he walked away, following Jason to the car. While Kon stood there and watched as Tim drove away with his brothers, while looking out the window at him.
——-
Tim knew this was coming as he got home and his brothers dragged him to one of the living rooms. Tim sat on the couch as he crossed his arms. “I’m guessing Bruce knows?” He questioned his brothers. Dick was sitting with him on the couch, while Jason sat on the armchair on the side. “Of course B knows, who you think sent us? He had to stay back with Damian but don’t worry he’ll be here soon.” Dick answered, to which Tim grimaced.
”That was pretty stupid of you, going out and getting drunk, and then fuckin making out with that clone? Not to mention you were basically grinding on top of him!” Jason yelled at him, making Tim repress a flinch. So they had seen him on Kon’s lap. “You know being drunk makes you not able to consent, right? That boy is immune to getting drunk making you the only vulnerable one. ”
Tim glared at Jason, “Kon wouldn’t hurt me.”
“You don’t know that.” Dick said, just as Bruce walked into the room. Shit, he looked mad. Bruce stood in front of Tim and sat down on the small coffee table in the room.
“Do you know how worried I was?” He started, “when I walked into your room only to find you not there. Did you seriously think I wouldn’t notice you not in your bed? Pillows aren’t as effective as you think, son.”
”I um, kinda thought it was a good plan.” Tim mumbled looking down at his lap, fiddling with his fingers.
Bruce sighed, “It was very irresponsible of you to sneak out to be with that boy. Not only that you are not old enough to drink, you would have been not able to do anything should he do something.”
”Kon wouldn’t-“ Tim starts looking up as Bruce cuts him off.
”I don’t care if you think he wouldn’t, he still has the powers of superman. You have to think about these things Tim.” Bruce stressed, his elbows on his knees as he stared Tim in the eye.
“They were making out when we got there. Timmy here was practically bouncing on his dick.” Jason injected, making Tim go red as he turned to glare at him. “I was not!”
Bruce bluescreens at this new information, gripping his hands together. “You totally were!” Dick says, “Not to mention how drunk you looked, while he looked perfectly fine! Which he was cuz he can’t get drunk.”
Tim was beginning to hate his older brothers.
“Well, “ Bruce begins, Tim moves his attention over to his dad. “I am going to be calling Clark to let him know of this. Tim, not only should you not be messing around with Kon, not only is he a kryptonion you are only 15 while he is legally an adult. You should not be running around with this boy, especially if you are sneaking out to meet him.” Tim doesn’t like how this is sounding, opening his mouth to protest when Bruce puts his hand up. “No, you will not argue with me on this. You are grounded for a month, no cave and no Robin. And especially no Kon. We can talk at a later date if you truly wish to be with him, but from now on you will be under supervision. Do you understand me?”
”Yes sir.” Tim frowns, crossing his arms and sinking into the couch. At least he could still be with Kon, just not right now. This was definitely not how his night was supposed to go.
