[It's a few days before Christmas and Tim has dragged Conner to an upscale department store in Gotham where even the cheapest trinkets are way out of Kon's budget. Tim is wandering throughout the displays on the floor, his eyes scanning each piece of merchandise on the shelf critically before moving on to the next.]

I really have no idea what to get Bruce this year. How do you shop for a billionaire who just has the technology division of his corporation make whatever he wants?

[Instead of responding, Tim just gives him a small smile and gives in, leaning up to kiss him. He can hear the woman next to them shuffle away with a small huff but it just makes him press his lips more firmly against Kon's.]

[outmatches]

[ Kon kisses him back, his hands still on Tim's hips. their kiss is sweet and short, not wanting to cause too much of a ruckus. when their lips part away he looks at him again in his eyes with a smile, almost as if he doesn't want that moment to finish just yet. ]

How shocked are those women on a scale of one to whippersnappers?

[outthinks]

[The question draws a laugh out of him and Tim breaks eye contact to look at the handful of women edging away from them, pulling their furs tighter around their bodies.]

I'd say they're at the level of a "back in my day..." story.

Then it worked better than I thought it would.

[ he breaks physical contact and takes a step away from Tim. ]

I think Bruce is going to kill me for real when he finds out, but it was pretty much worth it.

[outthinks]

I'd better get him a really nice scarf, huh?

[With a smile, he turns back to the shelves of scarves and finishes sifting through the pile he was examining before he got distracted. Finally, he pulls out a black scarf and holds it out to look it over.]

It looks like they do have Batman merch here.

And I get to live another day! Thanks very pricey store for the opportunity. [ he says, with his typical sarcastic tone. ]

Anyone else on the list? Dick? Alfred? Damian?

[outthinks]

Everyone else has been taken care of. Yes, even Damian. [Honestly, Damian was the easiest to shop for, even easier than Dick.]

Let's go pay for this and get out of here? Now that the "dangerous plant" isn't keeping us hostage.

[outmatches]

Are you really sure about that? Maybe we should kiss again just to be safe. [ teasing again, but he's okay with that plan. just walk onward, he'll keep trailing behind you like he's done till now. ]

[outthinks]

Just to be safe. [he repeats and leans up quickly to give Kon a quick peck of a kiss. Then he's moving past him through the crowd to make his way to the cashiers, Bat-scarf in hand and trusting Kon to follow him.]
