You and Tim lay there on the couch, embracing each other in what some people would call weird and uncomfortable.

You were on top of Tim with your arms around his neck and your head propped up on his shoulder. You had your phone in hand and opened to a book.

Tim had his laptop opened to whatever article he had to read and learn, his laptop sitting on top of your butt and his arms snaking around your waist to reach his keyboard.

To others it would be awkward and unconsidered, but to you and Tim, it was a regular thing when you both had time. It was comfortable and efficient. It gave you time to read books or read something on your phone, and Tim would get time to research or hack or do something for his current mission, whatever that may be.

It was productive and affectionate. And an indication to you both that you still loved each other no matter how busy you were. 

But alas, this interaction almost always happened at night which meant that Tim would head off to patrol sooner or later. You always dreaded that moment because you knew that even with the cuddles you two had, you would always end up falling asleep alone. So this snuggle time was the only time you could spend time with Tim regularly.

You yawn as the sleepiness in your body suddenly drifts over you. You turn off your phone and place it on the coffee table in front of you. You fully wrap your arms around Tim’s neck and nuzzle your nose in between his neck and your arm.

The sudden change of gravity is what jolts you awake as you cling tighter onto the figure to stop yourself from falling.

“Hey hey hey, I’ve got you. Don’t worry, I’ve got you.” Tim’s calm voice in your ear brings you comfort as you feel his hand on your back trail up and down your spine, as well as his hand placed firmly on your butt. You relax into his grip.

“You’re not going on patrol?” You ask quietly whilst yawning.

“No, I figured that I’d take the night off and spend it with you.”

You smile at his statement and nuzzle his cheek, giving it a soft peck. You can feel Tim’s lips twitch.

He then starts walking his way through your shared loft and towards your bedroom. Once there, he carefully opens the door and closes it with his foot before walking a few steps to the bed. He gently lays down on his side and adjusts you tightly next to him. He turns off his lamp and drags the blanket up to the both of you, wrapping his arms around and securing you in his protective hold. You only encourage it by wrapping your own arms around him. Tim threads his fingers through your hair and uses it to gently massage your scalp. You sigh and begin to slowly stroke your nails up and down his back. You can already feel some of his tense muscles relaxing under your fingers.

“I love you.” He whispers in your ear with drowsiness leaking through his voice.

“I love you too.” You reply, not bothering to hide your yawn.

You then fall asleep in each others arms, leading to a much needed worry free sleep.
