【jaytim】Falling In Love In Just a Week

Tim didn't actually hate Jason.

They just don't get along.At least neither of them had ever tried to be friendly with each other.They don't see much time together, and to be honest, Tim thinks that's the right thing to do.How can you be nice to someone who keeps referring to you as substitutes to remind him how much he thinks less of you.

Tim wonders if Jason really wants a soul mate, or if he's just mad that his other half is Tim.He couldn't imagine Jason falling in love.Soulmates are pretty complicated, and it's even trickier for Vigilante.If you don’t believe me, just look at Bruce and Selena. They are destined to belong to each other, but the red thread is entangled but close, causing the red thread connecting the two to fly all over Gotham when the bat and the cat are chasing and hiding.

It goes without saying that there is a danger that they cannot be in the same room.If someone sees Bruce Wayne in a room with Catwoman, then everyone will know who Batman is, since he is Catwoman's known other half.And vice versa for Batman and Selena Kyle.

Damian reminds his father over and over of the dangerous consequences of such an action, and cutting the string is the only way to stop it forever, but it's a pity that Bruce has no reason at all when it comes to Selena.Tim remembers Damian going crazy, shaking his head angrily and gritting his teeth every time he saw the two of them.His catchphrase is that soul mates are useless, hope this gets to him quickly so he can cut it off cleanly.Of course, that was before he met his soul mate.Since then, he has acted like a love expert, as if his brothers were dull fools.

The youngest, he was the first to find his sweetheart, and he was Damian.Of course, this made him proud and complacent, extremely inflated.

Tim wasn't proud at all.He was sure that when he saw Damian again, the kid would laugh at him, because everyone must know that he and Jason were soul mates.

"Where do I sleep?" Jason asked.

"Couch," Tim told him.

"Can't you give me the bed like a warm homeowner?" Jason said dishonestly.Tim rolled his eyes.

"Don't touch around. And..." He wanted to say that there was food in the refrigerator, but he thought it was a lie. "If you want to buy food, the money is in the jar on the kitchen counter. There's also coffee."

Jason made a face. "Gone?"

Tim shrugged.He hasn't looked at the refrigerator for a long time.Jason strode toward the kitchen, and Tim had no choice but to pull him away with the rope.Jason opened the refrigerator door.

"It's empty here," he said.

"Not empty." A jar of mayonnaise, a cucumber, and two eggs.He doesn't want to brag about the contents of his fridge, but be realistic.

Jason slammed the door shut. "First thing in the morning, go shopping."

"We can order."

Jason grinned at him. "Huh? Your legs are fine. You can walk to the grocery store on the other side of the road. I saw it when I came here just now. You can walk there in less than 2 minutes."

Tim narrowed his eyes. "Okay." He walked back to the bedroom, this time Jason was dragged away by him.He fetched the pillow and a blanket for Jason to be carried by another person. "There are two bathrooms, you can use the one on the other end."

"You think the rope will allow me to go that far?" Jason said. "You have a big house"

Tim rubbed his temples. "Okay, I'll wait outside."

Five minutes later, Tim is in the living room in embarrassment.The red thread disappeared with Jason into the spare bathroom, and he was staring at it.He could hear the splash of water.Judging by the distance from the couch to Tim's bedroom, that would be a problem later on, too.

When Jason came out of the bathroom, Tim was about to tell him about the little trouble, and then he saw—Jason—just wrapping a towel around his bottom.Tim couldn't look away.Jason's hair was dripping wet from his face, and a few drops of water flowed down his bare chest to the place covered by the towel.

Tim coughed lightly.How could he be dazed by Jason's body.His hot body, which was full of scars but still beautiful, was undoubtedly Jason. "You dropped water on my floor."

"Looking at the state of your house, you don't care at all," Jason said.

Tim looks away. “We have to push the couch over there against the wall, closer to my bed.” Thirty feet for the red line during the red week, how obnoxious.It can be said to be inhumane.

"Okay." Jason started to move the sofa on his own, and Tim hurried out of the way before being hit.Once it's properly seated against the wall, Tim nods in satisfaction.

"Fine, that's it. I...I'm going to take a shower too."

He walked to his bedroom, Jason following.He didn't like the fact that Jason followed him into the bedroom, didn't like the fact that Jason was looking around his room.It was too private, and he felt uncomfortable.

"Don't touch anything," Tim warns him before turning and going into the bathroom.

------------------

The first thing Tim thinks when he wakes up is that he hopes last night was just a dream.

Maybe nothing happened.Maybe his soul mate isn't Jason.Because if it was him... then Tim would never have a soul mate in his life.The week can only end with the two of them severing that relationship, and then Tim will be forever alone, without a red line, and drawing eyebrows wherever he goes.

Tim could feel the tug on his ring finger as he sat up.He looked down and sighed to find the rope pointing out of the bedroom.Last night was not a dream.What happened last night really happened, he now has a soul mate, and that person is none other than Jason Todd, the second-generation Robin.

If someone had said ten years ago that his soul mate would be Jason, Tim would have been ecstatic.he?Robin's other half?It couldn't be better!If the two had met each other as soul mates before Jason died, would things have developed differently.But fantasizing about the unchangeable past just adds to the troubles.

Tim crawled out of bed, eyes falling on the pamphlet Bruce had given him yesterday.He took it over and stared at it.The red cover complements the theme of the red thread.

What is the red thread of fate?

Before you meet your soul mate, the red thread on your ring finger will appear to disappear into thin air.The person on the other end of it is your destined partner.

What happens after you find your soul mate?

When you meet your significant other, you feel the pull.This force can be great or small.The time of appearance is uncertain, and it may even happen to two people who have known each other for many years.Statistics show that [-]% of soul mates have never met each other before.After meeting, the two will be bound together for seven days and cannot be more than thirty feet away from each other.This marks the start of the red week.

What is Red Week?

The red week is the seven days counted from the time the binding appeared.This brochure recommends registering at the City Hall and making an appointment at the Information Center.There are many activities and benefits, and soulmates participating in the activities can use this as an opportunity to deepen mutual understanding with their destiny!During the red week, you can take time off from work.During this period, if you quarrel with your partner or ignore each other intentionally, the length of the red line will be shortened from time to time. Therefore, it is a good policy to keep a close distance and treat people civilly and politely.

What are the types of red lines?

A knock on the door interrupted Tim.

"Are you dressed yet?"

"I don't sleep naked, Jason."

Jason opened the door, shrugging. "I sleep naked."

Tim made a face. "Please don't do that while you live here. Especially on my couch."

Jason gave him a laugh, and then saw the brochure in Tim's hand. "Are you looking at this crap?"

"Kind of fun," Tim said, getting up. "Did you know we can still attend events?"

Jason snorted disdainfully. "Yeah. It's all stupid couple shit. There's a drive-in, and there's something else." He snatches the book from Tim and whistles. "Whoa, cooking class. Alternative, that's what you need."

"I do not need."

"Really." Jason raised his eyebrows. "Do you think your girlfriend did these things during red week?"

Tim snatched the manual from Jason. "Shut up you."

Jason grinned. "What's the matter, are you talking about the pain?"

"None of your business." Tim walked straight into the kitchen, Jason following behind him.He wasn't in the mood to talk in the morning, let alone Stephanie and Kassan.Tim is happy for them.They were a match made in heaven, and Tim loves these two friends deeply and sincerely wishes them happiness.

Stephanie hadn't met her soul mate, Kassan, and Tim was dating her, back then... OK, but not ideal.By the time Red Week was over, Stephanie and Tim broke up.This was the best ending, after all he had seen them together, and he was happy that they had found each other.

"Do you think they know?" Jason asked.

"Needless to say." Tim made himself coffee. "Damian is probably already gossiping about us."

"Hey, devil bastard. I forgot about that little bastard." Tim's lips curled up. "He always thinks he's grown up. Who needs a soul mate, doesn't he? It's fucking stupid, corny and outdated. I mean, look at Bruce and Selena, it's just a relationship leg."

Tim didn't say a word.The soul mate was lost to him, and it was heartbreaking to think about it.At least coffee can be comforting.

"Can you hurry up? I'm hungry."

"Eat when you're hungry."

"What to eat? Cucumber with mayonnaise? It's disgusting."

Tim shrugged. "Then go fry the eggs."

Jason grunted, went to the refrigerator and took out two eggs. "We've got to keep a low profile," Jason said. "I don't want to see Dick come in as a matchmaker."

Tim shuddered at the thought. "you're right."

"If he found a soul mate who wasn't redheaded, I'd be eating a broomstick raw."

Tim laughed. "It must be redhead. I bet it's Babs."

Jason shrugged his shoulders and looked around for a frying pan. "I can't tell. There's Cory and Roy. Honestly, for a long time I thought his soul mate was the fucking speedster until he got a companion of his own."

"Probably a perfectly normal person," Tim said.He watched Jason fry eggs on the stove.He couldn't remember the last time he lit a fire to cook. "Do you have my share?"

"No, go away."

Tim rolled his eyes.

----------------

They walk through the grocery store, Tim wearing sunglasses and pulling up his hoodie.He can feel the eyes of people around him.This is also a matter of course.

Jason is handsome.Tim doesn't want to admit it, but the other person is indeed a walking hormone.Tall and handsome, with a charming complexion.The fact that he wasn't shaved made that face even more attractive.His leather jacket and tight white T-shirt give people a glimpse, and people stare, not because Jason is hot, but because Tim isn't hot at all.

He looked like a mess.The zipper of the oversized hoodie was pulled up to the head, and the big and thick sunglasses blocked half of the face. His hands were tightly stuffed into the pocket of the hoodie, and a thin red thread protruded from the inside, connecting Tim and Jason. together.The crowd was probably thinking "How can this kid have a soul mate who grows up like that?"

The answer is simple, Tim's full name is Tim Drake-Wayne.He can't reveal that he has a partner in public, and someone will find out.Explaining why his soul mate was Bruce Wayne's deceased son was something no one wanted to do.

Tim's going to have a shameful week.

"Is there anything you want?" Jason asked.

"You care?" Tim said.Jason just picked out what he wanted and put it in the trolley.

"It's up to you if you want to be passive-aggressive. Do you have any allergies?"

"You're going to cook for me?" Tim asked in surprise.

Jason hesitated for a second. "No."

"I think so too."

After a while, Jason sighed. "Okay, I'll cook for you. I don't care about you. It's because you really make me look down. You don't even eat breakfast."

"I ate half a cucumber."

"That's not breakfast! I bet someone like you could eat straight from a mayonnaise jar."

Tim stared at Jason, but with his sunglasses blocked, the other person couldn't see his eyes at all, and Tim became more and more annoyed as he thought about it. "You are the rotten person who doesn't give me any eggs!"

"How did you live to be so old?!" Jason pushed the cart to the bread area.The rope between them shortened, and Tim was yanked across, almost hitting him.

A woman standing there saw this and smiled. "Red week?" she asked with a smile.

Jason sighed. "Yes," he replied. "first day."

Tim turned away.Even with sunglasses, he had to make sure he wasn't recognized.

"Oh, I remember my red week. Really fun!"

"I doubt it." Tim kicked Jason. "Fuck your substitute—forget it." Jason cleared his throat. "I just hope it ends quickly."

The woman tilted her head. "Why? It can be fun. To be fair, I didn't like it at first, he was younger than me, and I don't like people who are younger than me, but as time goes on... oh, you should participate in the city The activities and classes that are offered. It's fun and brings you and your soul mate closer together!"

Jason shrugged. "Maybe. Let's talk about another soul mate who is not his." He said and gave the other party a charming smile.

"I'm bad as a soul mate?!" Tim demanded.

"I mean, look at yourself."

"You know I have to hide from people! It's not my fault, you—"

The woman coughed a few times. "I left beforehand." She quickly moved away from them.

Tim tried to calm down. "I don't understand what's wrong with you. Find out for yourself." He raised his hand sharply, lifting Jason's arm as well. "Less than an inch!" He pointed with his other hand to the rope. "Arguing will only make it shorter and shorter! Don't mess with me again."

Jason snorted. "Okay. You pick your bread." Tim grabbed the one closest to him. "That won't work."

"Are you kidding me?"

"I'm allergic to pumpkin seeds."

"Is this the truth?"

"You think I'm going against you on purpose?"

Tim shrugged. "It's no surprise." He felt that everything Jason did was against him.

Jason sighed. "Just put it back."
