[ MAFIA AU ] wayne's manor; tim's room.

[ 7:00am;

being the bodyguard of the heir of a powerful mafia boss was starting to take its toll on him. this was the tenth time, in the 5 hours of sleep he was supposed to have, that he jumped in his sleep after the most meaningless of the sounds.

it was time, anyway. they had a job to do in 2 hours. he already had planned to get ready around this hour. a shower, a change of clothes (he was starting to get as habit the sleeping in his suit -- aside from the jacket and shoes obviously -- for how tired he is getting everytime he comes home).

first thing first. he gets up from the couch where he sleeps and heads to the door of his protégé. he knocks slowly, not wanting to make too much noise, before entering even though he had no answer.

Tim is still sleeping. he walks over him sitting on a chair next to the bed.

he stares at the man's face for a bit, before putting his face in his hands, trying to wash away his tiredness.

he had been doing this job for 2 months now. and every day it was getting more and more difficult. ]

[With the new presence in his room, Tim wakes. It's not uncommon for there to be someone else in his room -- Conner checks up on him regularly. Still, he wakes up each time and checks who it is just in case it is someone dangerous. Eyes opening lazily, Tim regards Conner and notes that the room is light before rolling over onto his back and stretching.]

Morning. What time is it?

[outmatches.livejournal.com]

Time to wake up. We're not late, but we don't want to be, right? I'm going to get ready... I should have a clean suit left, right?

[chapsandcowl.livejournal.com]

If you don't, there's a spare in your size in my closet. [Yes, he's always prepared. He throws back the covers and gets out of bed.]

Hurry and we'll get coffee beforehand. [Don't think he doesn't notice how tired you are, Conner.]

[outmatches.livejournal.com]

Aye aye, captain.



Can you remind me what's the point of these things again, please?

[chapsandcowl.livejournal.com]

[Tim just quirks an eyebrow at him and reaches up to swiftly and efficiently knot his tie once Conner reaches him.]

Why did I even hire you?

[outmatches.livejournal.com]

Because I'm good at my job, clearly. I mean you aren't dead yet, are you?

[chapsandcowl.livejournal.com]

[Tim grabs his tie to yank him back down and slides the knot tighter again.]

Not for long if you don't take your attire seriously.

[He looks Conner in the eyes intensely before letting go.]

[outmatches.livejournal.com]

That makes no sense, how is having having my tie knotted right going to get my protecting skills up?

[chapsandcowl.livejournal.com]

No one's going to take my bodyguard seriously if he can't even get his tie right.

[He leans back in his seat and looks over at his butler.] Two cups of coffee, please. Black.

[outmatches.livejournal.com]

That sounds like the most made-up reason ever.

[chapsandcowl.livejournal.com]

You'd be surprised. Besides, it looks better.

[He sips his coffee once the butler places the two cups in front of them.]

[outmatches.livejournal.com]

I didn't think you were that interested in being fashionable, Wayne.


We are going to get late. Wait me here.

[chapsandcowl.livejournal.com]

Of course I am. It's important.

[He's just going to finish drinking his coffee while Conner runs off.]
