an excerpt of ch2 of core four space adventures, so that we can all point and laugh at tim for being a simp <3

“Bart ‘n’ Cass are on their way back,” Kon reports, carefully applying some curl cream in front of the mirror. He hasn’t bothered pulling on a shirt yet, just some burgundy jeans that hug his legs sinfully tightly—Tim would never admit it aloud, but if he’s ever been jealous of the TTK, it’s because Kon can pull on skinny jeans after a hot shower so easily.

“Oh, good,” Tim says. “I’m kinda hungry.”

After a moment, he drags his gaze back up to Kon’s face. It’s no easy feat, because Kon’s legs are right there, and his ass, not to mention the curve of his chest in the mirror, or his toned arms, or the muscles of his back, or… well, he could keep going, but the point is, there’s a lot to appreciate.

Then again, Kon’s face is gorgeous and also very kissable, so it’s good to stare at, too. Mm… he kissed Kon thoroughly in the shower, but he could stand to kiss him more. It’s been a while since they’ve had the time and privacy to even just make out, and Tim’s floating on a cloud of bliss right now.

Kon catches his eye in the mirror and raises an eyebrow, devastatingly smug. “Again already, Robbie? I thought I wrung you out pretty good just now.”

Tim huffs. “Just ‘cuz I’m not looking to buy right now doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate the merchandise.”

Kon laughs, running his fingers through his hair one last time. The ring on his finger glints as it catches the morning light. He turns from the mirror to catch Tim’s wrist, leans in, and brushes a quick kiss to the corner of his mouth, then lets him go to finally grab a shirt from his duffel bag. “If you’re too hungry, I got some granola bars in here.”

“Nah, I’m good. Thanks, though.” Tim shamelessly watches the muscles in Kon’s back flex as he pulls on his shirt. “If they’re gonna be back soon, we may as well all eat together.”

“Aww. Softie.”
