Thomas Birthday Shenanigans
First birthday away from "home" technically and he was not handling it too well. Really, he just wanted to suit up and take out criminals while brooding in between. Not much to ask for. But after spending the last week and a half almost burning himself out dealing with a few Gotham street murders, and ending up a tad bruised and battered, AltDad had insisted he take his birthday off and even told him ahead of time. Apparently days off could be enforced because he was barred from access to his uniform. Wonderful.

Admitting defeat, you really had to when it came to The Batman, he'd almost resigned himself to brooding at home but realized someone would shove him out the door to make him have fun. It had been then that he decided that maybe he should tell Sarah he had a rare day off and spend it with her on a...well they didn't really have 'dates' but this might be close enough. Besides, if anyone could cheer him up she could. He never felt like he didn't belong here around her.

There's a quick rap at her window on the evening of his birthday and Sarah will find Robin hanging upside-down in civies and a mask.

What? Just because he couldn't get his uniform didn't mean he wasn't going to swipe one of the extra masks and utility belt.

	"I don't like swim suits," she points out with a soft chuckle. "You know that, right?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I was referring more to the first part of your statement," he smirks back. Although he should clarify. Wet and around him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Thomas gets a slight smirk from her. "I go swimming sometimes." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He smirks back. "By yourself?" Which is a roundabout way of him wanting to be invited to this more. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I wouldn't mind company," she says with a low purr. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Robin picks her up and glides them over to the pool edge where he can corner her and steal kisses. "I'd volunteer for that..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	That doesn't bother her at all. They really do have problems not touching each other. "You know, we're bad at keeping this.... Tame." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We really are terrible at it," he agrees even though this time it was mostly his fault. "And in other people's pools too." Though he does look amused by that. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well so long as we don't leave any evidence behind..." That sounds so dirty. But she can't bring herself to care she just wants him again. This seems to be starting to become a habit. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Do we ever?" Habit is right. And he can't exactly say it was a bad habit either, although sometimes it did border on addiction. Really, he once had much better self control when it came to her. Apparently at one point it had decided to go out the window and down a 30 story drop. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We break furniture," she sweetly points out. She doesn't care if this is like an addiction. She just knows that she doesn't care because it helps her forget how trapped she has been. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"But that's not in public," he has to point out. He'd thought about stopping this thing between them before, but could never bring himself to do it. With her he never felt as lonely or out of place or like an...outsider as he did usually. An outsider within your own family was a terrible feeling, but with her it was like that wasn't even in his life anymore. And screw it, he'd take what bit of happiness he could get his hands on.

He dedicated his life to being selfless and saving this city. Shouldn't he be allowed some measure of selfishness?

	"Still. I have to throw it out." She nuzzles him letting herself rest right up against him. She might as well be naked given how close she is. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Then stop buying shoddy furniture Foxy," he teases while leaning down to nip along her neck. Given that the bikini covered very little and there was a lot of skin on skin contact going on here, part of his mind takes this as her being naked. Which isn't helping with the friskiness.

	It probably doesn't help that she lets out a low sigh and winds a leg very firmly around him. The attention to her neck has her happily distracted. "But then I'm not alerting people as to what I'm buying," she points out. "Quality costs money." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-07-30 04:05 am UTC (link)
	"So does replacing broken furniture," he mumbles against her skin, clearly properly distracted by the wet and nearly naked fox. (Reply to this)(Parent)
