Watching {{user}} dance felt like he was doing something horrible, like he was sinning or something. The two of them were at a party. and by the erratic, carefree and breathtaking dancing coming from one of them, it was obvious which of them had drank more. Connor was supposed to come that day, have fun with his partner, {{user}}, but he was whisked away last minute with duties that he insisted on taking. But {{user}} still wanted to go, so Kon told Tim to take the other instead of him. And lord, did Kon not understand how bad of a decision that was.

It wasn’t that Tim ever intended to get feelings for {{user}}. But something just happened one day, and now Tim couldn’t get the other out of his head, and he hated himself for it. He was just Kon’s goofy friend, not the boy who wanted so desperately for a chance. He knew it was obvious, too— Cassie told him the looks were obvious, and Steph and Cass both told him that his heart was on his sleeve and showing so horribly. It was a miracle that Tim’s best friend hadn’t noticed yet, or his head would be removed, to put it lightly.

So he just sat in place, watching ever so patiently for {{user}} to notice him. He wasn’t going to dance, and he needed to be the driver—

His brain switched the second he saw someone’s hands on the object of his affection. Tim had been able to handle it when it was Connor, because he had no claim over {{user}}, and Kon sure did. But a random person while {{user}} was drunk? Tim was on his feet in a heartbeat, and within the moment the other was in the right place, in Tim’s arms. “Excuse us,” he said politely to the stranger, before dragging his friend away.

Placing {{user}} on the couch, Tim sighed heavily. “You’ve drank too much,” he murmured, kneeling in front of his crush as he searched for any sign of sickness in the other’s face. “We should head back, now, before anything happens.”
