Tim was happy; key word being was. His family was more or less steady for now, he was doing very well in school (duh), and he had a loving partner.

That was where the problem struck. His partner, you, was a petty criminal. That was actually how he'd met you, you'd slipped through his fingers a few times and he'd grown fond of you. Over time, you began committing small crimes for his attention and he began seeking out your crimes to see you. Somehow, he'd managed to ask you out and here you both were.

The problem, however, was that you seemed to take great enjoyment in scaring the living shit out of Tim. A bomb downtown? You'd magically be robbing the building next door. Tim's third story window? You'd just climb on up.

And that brought him to tonight. He was studying, happily, in his bedroom at around midnight. His face was practically inside his book at his desk, his back to the window, the only light being a small desk lamp. When, all of a sudden, he heard the window shift open and you tumble in.

Tim practically jumped out of his skin, holding his chest as his head snapped around to squint at you in the dark room, “Jesus, {{user}}, I've told you to use the damn front door!”

Yes, he loved you. No, that did not excuse your recklessness and lack of self-preservation.
