Claim: DC Comics, Tim Drake
Title: Inkblots
Author: Ruby Nye (rubynye)
Characters: Tim Drake, Dick Grayson
Prompt: 37. Make-up
Rating: Adult
Length: Short (4000 words)
Brief summary: After their argument in Gotham Knights #26, Tim and Dick try to talk things out. As usual, the Emotionally Stunted Duo manage to do everything but.

Dick reaches across to pull off his glove, then presses both hands into Tim's back hard enough to feel through the suit, one low and one higher. Tim goes to return the hug, but realizes how sticky his hand is; at least now they're probably even in how messy they've made each other.

Dick feels his hesitation, figures out the reason, and laughs so quietly that Tim feels it on his face more than he hears it. "You might as well just go for it," Dick murmurs. "We can wash our suits at my place. I've got Woolite for Costumes."
