[ Tim... Dick notices the way his brother jumps and then turns to hide under that hood. Impulse tells him to grab at Tim and pull the hood off, but he knows way better than to do that. He just stands there calmly, looking like a far warmer Batman than Bruce has ever proven to be. Far more organic and less statuesque.

Maybe the height difference helped with that. ]

I'm worried about you... You didn't sound okay before and you don't sound okay now. [ Dick stepped forward and put a hand to Tim's shoulder. ]

Let me help...?

[It's still a little weird to see Dick as Batman, let alone seeing the calm and warmth of him shining through the Batsuit like a candle flame casting a soft light over a gargoyle. It makes Tim pause, not exactly frozen, just still, enough that he doesn't immediately try to shake off that hand on his shoulder.]

Dick... [He sighs, wondering if maybe it would be better to just come clean. This is Dick, after all, and - it's not like he can hide this forever.]

It's really nothing, just - a minor inconvenience, really.

[He stops trying to disguise his voice, so at least it sounds less scratchy, but still off, and he keeps tugging at the ties on his hood with one hand, to try and hide more of his face. The sweatpants and top are bulky enough to do a good job of obscuring his frame, but now that Dick is up close... do his hips seem a little... more rounded, more prominent than usual?]

[ The voice doesn't go unnoticed. Dick also starts to take in all the minor details of Tim's frame, even with the hoodie. There's just that noticeable touch to the hips, and the thumb of the hand on Tim's shoulder is pressed against some slightly softer flesh. Tim is different, and for one second Dick's eyes narrow. ]

What's happened?

[Right, as if he could hide something like this from Dick for long. Tim sighs and slowly, most of the tension drains out of him, replaced by a sense of resignation - but there's still a nervous edge to the way he's holding himself.]

Don't freak out, I'm not hurt or anything, it's just... I got hit with some, uh, magic.

[ Magic. Okay- they had people who could fix magic. He was caught between worry and relief. Tim's tone, and the tail end of that call, suggested that there was a light at the end of this- whatever this was. Dick let his hand drop to Tim's arm, trying to soothe him and get him to relax. ]

Alright then. No freaking out, I promise. [ He'd just bottle whatever this may result in right up, if necessary. ]

[Tim pushes back his hood with his free hand - he might as well stop trying to obscure the minor changes to his face, like the fuller lips and softening of his jaw line. He appreciates the intent behind Dick's hand on his arm, but it only goes so far towards soothing his restless agitation at the situation.

That situation being-]

I've been turned into a girl. Temporarily. [It had better be temporarily or he's going to break things.]

[ Oh. Oh.

For a good long moment, Dick stares after the hood is pulled down and he notices the little changes. Sorry to say, Tim was always a little feminine featured, at least with his youthfulness, so the changes weren't too drastic. He takes a small breath. ]

Guess it's like a tradition for this sort of thing to happen at least once to each of us, huh? [ He cracks a smile, which quickly grows more mischievous. ]

If it's any consolation, you're quite breathtaking.

[Tim isn't sure how to feel about the way that Dick is staring at him - logically, he knows that the older ex-Robin is just taking in the details that hadn't clicked before, but still. He's not entirely comfortable in his own body right now, it doesn't feel quite right, and the focused attention from Dick makes him feel - conflicting things.

Especially when Dick smiles like that and says something that makes heat spread over his face, putting a slight flush in his cheeks.]

That's not - don't joke, this isn't funny. [He's quick to frown, and tries to sound more annoyed than flustered.]

I don't care how I look. This is one Robin tradition I'd be happy to skip, frankly.

[ He really wants to laugh at that reaction because he remembers how he felt about it, and well- Tim's just making this so much more adorable. He holds back, though, and just lets his arm slip back around Tim's shoulders to pull him close into a hug. ]

It'll be alright. You were talking to someone about fixing it, right?

[Somehow, Dick always seems to know just how to get Tim to surrender himself to a hug when needed - and it's probably a mark of just how much it's needed that he not only lets himself get pulled into the hug easily, but leans into it as well. He buries his face against Dick's shoulder and just lets the warmth and strength and safety of the embrace sink in.

And... well, his chest probably feels almost as flat as usual against Dick's, which might seem odd. But he did do a really good job with tying those bandages tight.]

Yeah... I called Zachary Zatara. Maybe not the best choice, if I want to hear the end of this any time soon. But he said it could take him at least a week to fix it.

[ Ooh. Ouch, Zachary Zatara? From what Dick's heard about the kid's attitude... things must be desperate for Tim to go to him. Dick continues to hold Tim, just letting him take all the comfort he needs out of it. He notices the flatness and wonders if Tim's taken to binding - some part of him is curious as to how... well, how much this magic's affected him physically, but he puts that off for now. ]

So what's the plan, then? Going to tough it out in hiding until things can get fixed?

[Tim's stress levels certainly haven't been helped by having to ask Zachary to fix things, especially since he apparently can't just wave his wand and speak backwards and have it all fixed immediately. So, yes... Tim has been improvising with binding. And it's sort of uncomfortable, but he's good at ignoring that kind of thing.

Especially with Dick holding him. He feels steadily more - relaxed, and sighs quietly.]

That's the plan, yeah. Unless I can disguise myself well enough to look like myself, I don't think I'll be attending any board meetings. Apparently I can't hide from everyone, though.

[Pointed look.]

[ Can Dick be blamed if he grins at that look as if he could do no wrong? He sighs. From what he heard when he first arrived, it looks like Tim's going to be here for a while then, and that only means one thing. ]

I'll stay with you, then. Keep you company. Sound good?

[ As if he's going to take "No" for an answer without a fight. ]

Just one thing, though... [ He draws back, but leaves a hand at Tim's shoulder. ] You don't have to "cover up" around me. Do whatever's comfortable while this is going on.

[Stop grinning like that, Dick, it's totally unfair. Tim raises an eyebrow, but he has a feeling that he's not going to convince Dick that he doesn't need to stay with him. He can recognise a losing fight when he sees one, and besides, it's not like Dick is the worst company he could ask for.]

Do I have a choice? If you insist on staying... I'd better stock up on cereal.

[Heh. He shifts a little and brings a hand up to finger the zipper of his hoodie, fidgeting with it.]

I guess it's pretty pointless to try and... cover up, since you know what's going on, but - it still feels embarrassing. And these clothes are comfortable, you know, they're just - what's more comfortable than sweats?

[He knows that's not what Dick meant, but like he said, embarrassing.]

[ Tim really does know the way to his heart. Dick laughs lightly and draws back more to push back his cowl. Now he's a little less Batman and things can be... easier, he hopes. ]

Cereal sounds good, and yes... [ His hand comes up over Tim's, keeping him from fidgeting any more. His eyes look on the younger ex-Robin's, and they're full of warmth, all for him. ] It's pointless, and you shouldn't be uncomfortable in a stressful situation, but no one's gonna make you.

I promise, Timmy. [ Dick leans in then and gives the younger brunet a quick peck on the forehead, before drawing back, mischief alighting in his eyes. ] Though I'm not going to lie, I'm kind curious to see if you're as cute as a girl as you are a boy.

[Tim will never quite get used to seeing Dick wearing the Batman suit, so it's definitely easier when he pushes the cowl back - it's just better, being able to see all of Dick's face, meet his eyes without the whiteout lenses in the way.

Eyes that are locked on him, full of warmth, and that makes him feel warm, too. Safe... and just a little less fidgety, with that gloved hand over his, slightly warm even through the armored gauntlet, holding him still.

That warmth shifts a little inside him when Dick kisses his forehead, when he sees the glint of mischief and - did Dick just call him cute? He can feel his cheeks getting hotter and he's probably blushing, so he pulls a face, trying to look unimpressed.]

I'm hardly cute, you don't have to - say stuff like that. I'll show you, okay? Since it's you... [He grumbles as he starts unzipping his hoodie -] I can't believe I'm getting a lecture on not covering up from the guy in full body armor...

[He unfastens the bulky hoodie and slips it off, shrugging and exposing slender shoulders that are just as pale as usual. He's wearing a black vest top underneath, tucked into the waistband of his sweatpants, and there are bandages visible under that, peeking out over the low neckline and wrapped tightly around his chest.]

Edited (Bat-gloves >>) 2013-07-09 13:35 (UTC)

[ Dick rolls his eyes at Tim's protest. Sigh. What would he ever have to do to get Tim to appreciate that yes, he is attractive in his own way? It seems like it would require a lot. In the meantime, he slips off those gloves, trying to make himself a little more comfortable; he strips off the cape and out of the boots as well. He'll have to leave later for some actual clothing, but for now, he might as well be comfortable. ]

This better? [ He eyes the hints of tape, meanwhile, that he can see through the shirt. He gets the... efficiency of it, but still, it looks uncomfortable. ]

Are you really okay wearing that? I mean- you're not used to the body, and if you're gonna be like this for a while, shouldn't you try to understand it? [ He's babbling, but he means it. His brows lift a little, wondering if he's stepping too far here. ]

[Tim is very bad at seeing his own attractiveness, most of the time. Then again, when he compares himself to Dick... well, it's a pretty high bar to reach for, so it's no wonder that he doesn't think of himself as all that attractive.

He watches Dick stripping off the more cumbersome parts of the Batman uniform.] It's a start. You should have packed an overnight bag.

[And Dick isn't wrong about the binding being uncomfortable. Tim crosses his arms over his chest defensively, but his frown is a thoughtful one.] Understand it how? I mean, I can cope with wearing this, I guess it's kind of uncomfortable and... restrictive, but - it felt - weird, without it.

I had no clue I'd be staying. I'll go out to grab some stuff later. [ Phoning Alfred might have been quicker, but Dick gets the impression that Tim wants to keep this place as secret as possible. It bothers him that it includes from the family as well, but he's not going to violate that anymore than it already has with his presence. ]

I mean- sure, taping down is alright when someone needs it for a little while, but it's gotta be rough on you if you do it for days. [ A small sigh. He figures he should be slightly honest, too. ] ...I'm also kind of curious.

Just don't let the brat climb into the suitcase. [Tim wouldn't exactly mind Alfred showing up, but then, he doesn't feel like the Red Robin cave is entirely finished yet, even with the security measures in place. He wants to have everything just right before he lets anyone in.

Anyone else in, that is.

He pauses again, considering what Dick has to say. He's reluctant to admit it, but the older ex-Robin has a good point - the tight bindings are already uncomfortable, if he leaves them on for days he might even end up with bruising just from the pressure of how tight he's pulled them in order to get himself flat. And then there's the fact that Dick is curious... about what? If it were Kon, he'd immediately say no, but the fact that it's Dick... he probably wants to see the full extent of the spell, assess it for himself. Tim has no doubt that there will be teasing, too, but from Dick, it shouldn't be so bad.]

You're right, I guess... I should save this for when I need to hide - things. [With a soft sigh, he reaches up under his shirt to start pulling off the tape and unwinding the bandages. He shoots Dick a sharp look.] But if any of this ends up on Youtube, I'll put you in traction.

[As the bindings come away, the curve and shape of his breasts is revealed under the shirt, which stretches over them - it fits him comfortably normally, as a girl the neckline dips dangerously low and the fabric feels tight, the swell of his breasts almost perky despite the lack of a bra. Must be because they're magic and new, and not too large, although probably a generous C cup. He bites his lower lip as he feels the fabric of his shirt dragging over skin that's been made kind of sensitive by being under that much pressure for a while, but tries to ignore it, bundling up the bandages in one hand.]

[ Tease Tim about this? Dick would never think about it, at least not right now. He can't lie, though - the moment those bindings slip off and he can see the swell of Tim's new breasts under the fabric of that shirt, he falls silent and his blue eyes widen. That they'd be that... fascinating certainly did not cross the path of his curiosity. ]

I-...Wow. [ Unfortunately, when Dick gets a little stunned like this, he has a habit of getting gabby. This is suddenly very different, 'cause yes, this is still Tim, but this is also- suddenly a very beautiful young woman, in some odd way. ]

That's some figure, Tim. [ His gaze quickly shifts up to the younger brunet's face, and he gives a bright grin- one he might have normally reserved for someone he was trying to pick up; it happened automatically, and he really wasn't aware of it. ]

[That's not really the reaction that Tim is expecting, and it's kind of startling to see Dick look at him like that. To see that grin, bright and promising, and it takes him a moment to place when and where he's seen Dick use it before, but - is Dick suddenly flirting with him? No, it's got to be a tease, it's got to be, but Tim still feels suddenly self-conscious, flushing slightly.]

Gee, thanks, Dick. [He tries to fall back on sarcasm as a deflection, and crosses his arms over his chest defensively - or tries to. He's not used to just how large his breasts are and where they sit, so he ends up squashing them together awkwardly for a moment, brushing against his nipples through the thin fabric and making himself gasp sharply, his expression faltering.]

Uh - hmm.

[Well, that's embarrassing, and he quickly tries to shift the position of his arms so that they're crossed under his breasts instead. Which just means that he's pushing them up and together, exposing a bit more of the curve of them as the shirt gets pulled around, and displaying the fact that his nipples are kind of hard underneath the fabric after all that.]

[ Seeing how Tim reacted to his sudden increase in attention, Dick begins to feel a bit torn. It shocks him out of this, slightly, but at the same time, he's amused that it's having some affect. It's not like he's been unaware of his charm; he couldn't truly use it if otherwise were the case.

But then there's Tim blushing, and Dick feels immediately compelled to reach for the young man's shoulder with one hand, and he draws close enough to bring another hand to his cheek, just holding it gently. ]

I'm sorry, Tim. You're suffering and I'm just- staring like a dog, aren't I? [ Dick really just wants Tim to be relaxed and safe in his skin; that's all he can ask. ] It's just that you're- you always were, beautiful, but this is kind of different.

[Tim can't help staring at Dick, can't bring himself to look away with that hand warm against his cheek, no matter how much he kind of wants to curl up and hide - because the alternative is something he's told himself not to do for a really long time, something dangerous and practically doomed to failure, but.

But then Dick calls him beautiful, and uses it as if it's retroactive, and his heart feels like it's going to turn into stone and drop out through his ribcage. He stares at Dick, disbelieving and searching for the honesty that's always painted across the acrobat's features, for the actual meaning of those words. He can feel the heat building in his cheeks, the blush darkening slightly, and he slowly lets his arms drop, not quite reaching for Dick but grasping the air at his sides like he really wants to.]

I wish you'd looked at me like this sooner - [It slips out, quiet and muttered mostly to himself, but Dick is so close, there's no way he didn't hear. Tim's eyes widen slightly, and he mentally curses himself - what's wrong with him? ... Well, a lot. He tries to move on, regain control of the situation, even just a little.]

Are you - Dick, are you just saying that because of - the spell? Because it's - I'm different?

[ Hearing that shocks Dick to his very core - he always knew that Tim had some kind of a fondness for him, and he always tried to never... play on it. Dick always tried to return the love he got as he thought he should, as a big brother, but had he been misreading things all these years? How could he even ask that question seriously, when he was here with one hand cupping Tim's cheek, and the other dangerously close to groping his chest?

His eyes are wide for a moment, and then he winces as that question comes. ]

No! [ The response was immediate. That hand on Tim's shoulder drops down to the small of his back and he's unintentionally pulling their bodies together. ] Tim, no... I mean, until now... I guess I never thought I could look at you like that. I never thought you'd... want me to.

[ His heart feels like its melting, it really does, and like it's about to swell into some other shape - he can't say what, really. His thumb brushes lightly over Tim's cheek, under his eye. ]

I guess I'm just more used to liking feminine bodies. [ As soon as that's out, though, he knows he should have bitten his tongue. ]
