#dragon!tim

Opening the door Kon steps into his room and when it shuts behind him he lets out a blissful sigh and takes a moment to relax now that he's in his own safe haven. Once he’s mustered up the energy he pushes away from the door and starts heading towards the bathroom so he could shower and freshen up, as much as he would like to skip that part he knows that it’s better to do it first than deal with the grossness later on.

Kon’s plan, however, is waylaid when he spots what’s on his bed for the first time. Pausing between the bed and the bathroom he stares at the black ball that’s on top of his pillow by the headboard. At first glance it looks like it could be some clothing screwed up into a ball, or a roughly folded blanket, however upon further inspection there’s a shiny red tint to the black that makes it appear glossy like and the shininess outlines the scales covering the ball.

Knowing exactly what it is Kon doesn’t panic. It’s his boyfriend, Tim, in his small dragon form. While his appearance was unexpected it certainly isn’t unwelcome. Kon feels fondness flow through him at the sight of the creature on his bed, the fact that Tim feels comfortable enough to stay in Kon’s room in his shifted form without him says a lot on its own but Kon feels better having him here with him and even more so after the day he’s had.

Kon goes to his bed and carefully sits down on the edge of it so he doesn’t disturb the tiny dragon. Reaching out Kon strokes a finger over the body, following the shape of the ball he’s curled up in, the scales underneath his finger are surprisingly soft and Kon smiles. Using his whole hand Kon strokes a bit harder to try and gently rouse Tim into consciousness. If he’s not careful then there’ll be some consequences, it’s happened before and it’s an experience Kon does not want a repeat of.

It takes a few full body strokes until the dragon finally stirs. A little snort sounds out which is followed by its body uncurling. Kon watches in amusement, while feeling so much fondness and affection, as his boyfriend does a full body stretch (looking very similar to what a cat would do after a nap) and lets out a yawn, his little mouth opening wide to show his rows of sharp teeth and pink tongue. Kon couldn’t help but coo, he’s so adorable.

Once Tim’s finished stretching he sits up right and cocks his head to the side as he looks at Kon, in response all Kon does is sit there and smile at the dragon as his yellow slitted eyes roam over his body.

“I’m okay, Tim. Honestly.” He says after a beat, knowing that Tim is looking over him for any signs of injury. “I’m just tired and in need of sleep.”

The little dragon before him, and really Tim is no bigger than what a ferret would be, his body is long and thin, there are small wings sprouting from his back that are currently pulled back and tucked away, blinks at him and snuffles. Interpreting that sound as Tim not believing him Kon shakes his head fondly.

Sending Tim an exasperated look he says, “seriously I’m okay. It’s been a long couple of days. Anyway, I’m surprised to see you here, not that I missed of course but I’d figured you’d still be in Gotham.”

Tim shakes his head and starts prowling towards him, he steps off the pillow and onto the covers before carefully making his way over to Kon’s thigh where he's sat on the bed. Kon lets him climb on him but knowing exactly what Tim’s going to do once there he quickly grabs the dragon and lifts him up into the air, ignoring the sound of protest as he does. He’s not letting Tim dig his claws into his thigh. No matter how much he loves him, that isn’t happening.

After a moment Tim begins to squirm in his hold and he lets out an almost whining sound and Kon rolls his eyes at his dramatics. Kon moves and holds Tim up towards his neck and allows his boyfriend to step onto his shoulders. Tim slithers easily onto his body and instantly curls around his neck in a scarf like away. Kon lets out a light laugh as he feels Tim’s head and body move against his skin, with this action he knows Tim is scent marking him, his dragon wanting to make his own claim on his person especially because they’ve been apart for far too long.

Sighing Kon closes his eyes and enjoys the weight of Tim around his neck, subconsciously he reaches up and strokes Tim’s snout and back with a finger, with the action he hears Tim purr in happiness. However the purring abruptly stops and is replaced with a hiss like noise. Kon opens his eyes and glances at Tim with a frown, wondering what could be wrong to cause such a reaction, he’s known long enough about Tim’s dragon side and by now knows the variety of expressions Tim can create while in this form and the one he’s currently wearing is showing his displeasure.

Feeling weary Kon asks, “what’s wrong?”

Tim exaggerates a sniff and snarls before jumping down to move away from him, returning back to the pillow Tim sits there and watches Kon pointedly and Kon knows if he could, Tim would be scowling right now. Tim’s actions make Kon wince. They remind him of what his original plan had been before he got distracted by his adorable boyfriend, bending down Kon sniffs his shirt and instantly pulls away grimacing. Yeah, a shower is a must.

He sends Tim an apologetic look. “Sorry. I know I need a shower, it’s been a long couple of days. I’ll be back in a bit.” With no more words Kon pushes himself off the bed, which takes a whole lot more effort than it should have, and trudges to his bathroom to clean himself up.

After a relatively quick shower, as much as Kon would have liked to have lingered in it knowing his boyfriend is currently on his bed is a good enough motivator to have a quick one, Kon strolls back into his bedroom now dressed in clean and comfortable lounge wear.

As expected, Tim is still on his bed on the pillow in his dragon form, his boyfriend perks up when he hears Kon coming and keeps an eye on him as Kon moves about the bedroom finishing off what he needs to before turning off the lights and finally climbing into bed. Kon stretches out on his mattress with a groan and settles underneath his covers. After a moment once he’s comfortable he sighs in relief as he can finally let his body relax properly for the first time in days.
