Synopsis: Roy tells Jason what was funny.
Author's Notes: This follows
Jealousy,
Interrupted and
What's So Funny? “You are,” Roy grinned, “You’re what’s funny.” He knew that he probably should have phrased that better, but Roy was never one to phrase things carefully. Before Jason could slug him he continued, “You’re totally jealous. So jealous that you dove through a window to attack the boyfriend of the guy you’re in love with, ruining a perfectly good date. But that’s not why it’s funny, why you’re funny.”
Jason was leaning forward on the balls of his feet, not to attack, but because he really wanted to know what the joke was. If Roy wasn’t just laughing at him for being jealous than why the fuck was he laughing? He tried not to let Roy know that he’d been hitting the mark on anything. He didn’t want to tell Roy to continue but the words slipped out anyway, “Then why?”
“Because, you’re pining for somebody who is in love with you. You’re jealous of me for having him, but you could have him too… I’m not giving him up, but if you’re willing to share, that bed’s big enough for the three of us,” Roy smirked at the look on Jason’s face. It was a mixture of shocked, wary, hopeful and pissed off- but that might be because Jason always looked a little pissed off.
“What if I don’t want to share him?” Jason was considering investing in a gag because his mouth was now acting with even less permission than it normally had. He knew that question confirmed everything Roy was saying, but the cat was out of the bag and he’d find a way to deal with it. He wasn’t sure he was willing to share His Tim with, well, with anyone. He wanted Tim, in a lot of ways, he needed him.
Tim’s always looked at Jason like he really saw who Jason was, not just the mask Jason put on for the world. Deep down he knew that his Timmy knew him better than anybody else ever could and frankly that scared him shitless. Mostly because he wanted it so desperately. He wanted to be figured out by somebody, somebody he could trust, somebody who get past his defenses. But Jason didn’t like being vulnerable. He didn’t like knowing that somebody had the power to hurt him. He sure as hell hadn’t intended to give that power away, no matter how badly he wanted Tim to have it. Somehow he’d still ended up here with the tiny bits of his broken heart shattered and scattered like the glass on the floor. He tried everything he could not to fall in love and he still got his heart broken.
Roy’s hand absent-mindedly went up to the back of his neck and he sighed, “If you don’t want to share than you shouldn’t have waited so long. You should have done something before we fell in love.”
“Well maybe I didn’t think that he’d actually fall in love with you,” Jason snapped in return. Jason was thoroughly pissed off because he knew Roy was right. Jason should’ve done something sooner but he thought that maybe Tim would be happier with Roy. He knew he wasn’t worthy of Tim… of anyone, so he did what was best for Tim. He tried to convince Tim that he didn’t want him. He just hadn’t counted on the fact that he wouldn’t be able convince himself.
Roy barked out a laugh that was completely genuine despite the fact that he knew Jason was trying to insult him, “Yeah, me either. But it is what it is and we love each other. He still loves you though and I‘m fine with that.”
“You don’t care that you aren’t enough for him?” Jason was aiming for venomous but it came out somewhere between doubtful and angsty. He settled for leveling a hateful glare at Roy, puffing up to his full height and attempting to give off the impression that he didn’t give a shit about this anyway.
Roy just laughed again, this time there was a lot of empathy behind it though. Jason’s question sounded a lot more like he was trying to figure out how to deal with the fact that he wasn’t the only one Tim loved than whether or not Roy felt inferior. “First of all, you can drop the ‘pissed-off tough guy who’s mad at Daddy and taking it out on the whole world while channeling all that rage inward creating a perfect storm of self-destruction with a side of total lack of self-control’ shtick because I wrote that book. You aren’t going to get to me with it. I was you, hell, in a lot of ways I was worse. I know exactly who I am and who I’ve been and I’m comfortable with it.”
Jason could tell that Roy wasn’t done yet, but he couldn’t let that slide, “What the fuck do you know about who I am or what I’ve done?”
“Come on kid! I had a needle in my arm when you were still swinging around in short pants,” Roy sadly shook his head. “Who you are doesn’t have to be determined by what you’ve done. You have choices. Now, if you’ll let me continue?”
Jason just nodded so Roy finished what he had been saying, “Secondly, I believe that people are capable of loving more than one person at a time. It doesn’t mean that I’m not enough for Tim, it means that Tim’s just so much more capable of love than most people are willing to be. Does it really surprise you that Tim’s would be able to love more than one man? Can you really ask him to turn away somebody he’s in love with who loves him too because you’re insecure? I feel like after all the hell he’s been through that Tim needs all the love he can get.
He also needs the people he’s with to be strong enough to call him on his BS and take care of him, because he’ll kill himself taking care of other people while forgetting to even the most basic things for himself. He needs people to help him see that he worth taking care of, that his well being matters. Frankly, I could use a hand looking after him.”
Jason’s laugh was genuine, his sarcasm fading against the truth of what Roy said. Jason had to give him credit, he was an honest guy. Maybe, just maybe, he wasn’t the total waste of oxygen that Jason had pegged him for. He’s not the yappy, preening peacock that Dick was and absolutely nothing like B. He certainly didn’t possess Timmy’s self-control… maybe out of all them Roy was most like Jason. Jason found the idea comforting, he liked that His Tim wanted to be with somebody like himself. He was sure that Tim could do better, but he was also sure that he’d probably kill the guy he was doing better with. Maybe he could try this sharing thing. If it didn’t work he could always just beat Roy into oblivion and hold Tim hostage until he agreed to love him and nobody else- ‘Let’s call that Plan B’. “Well, you aren’t good enough for him, and neither am I, but maybe together…”
Roy smiled brightly, “Good, I’m glad that’s settled. We’ll share.”
Tim had been holding his tongue, watching this exchange with several mixed feelings. At the top of the list was outrage. Even allowing that Roy had just laid some of his deepest secrets bare (and he would be talking to Roy about that later) the two men that he wanted most in the world were standing there discussing the future of his relationship, or relationships, as if he wasn’t even there. He very seriously considered taking Jay’s gun and threatening to shoot them both in the groin, but he was pretty sure that Jason just admitted that he loved Tim, and Roy was saying that was okay. The only reason he wasn’t raging at them was that the second feeling on the list of mixed emotions was joy. He wasn’t sure what to think of everything. Tim thought that they should at least sit down and have a long conversation. After all, it couldn’t be that easy. He couldn’t have everything he wanted just like that. He tried to push away the part of him that was desperate to just accept it and be loved by those he loved the most. “Well, if you two are finished…” Tim crossed the room to where his pants were. Now that the danger had passed he realized that he was still completely naked. He noticed Roy was too, but Roy didn’t seem to care.
It wasn’t until Tim moved to get pants that Jason realized Tim was still naked. ‘God, how could I miss that?!’ Jason figured it was because Roy (who is also gorgeous and naked) was saying something that he actually felt was important. But he couldn’t let Tim get pants, not now. If Tim got clothes than he’d probably try to start lecturing them on talking about how they felt about him and a big relationship change without actually asking Tim how he felt about these things. It seemed like Roy knew exactly how Tim really felt, so Jason didn’t see the problem with it, but Tim was even better at repressing feelings than Jason was, so he couldn’t be given a chance to escape.
Jason dove across the room, executing a beautiful tumble over the bed to snatch Tim’s pants out of his hands. “Oh no you don’t Timmy.”
Roy smacked himself in the forehead. He knew that he had told Tim before that he wouldn’t mind sharing if Jason ever came around, but he hadn’t asked Tim what he thought about it. And he hadn’t thought about how much it might piss Tim off to reveal his feelings for Jason like that. Jason needed to know the truth and so did Tim, but Tim is such a bat that he hates having emotions and vulnerabilities revealed. Roy thought that had a lot more to do with Tim’s mother than with Bruce’s training, but he would never say that to Tim. Of course, he probably should have tried to include Tim a little more in their conversation, but he kinda figured that once he and Jason were on the same page Tim would be happy. He watched Tim glaring at Jason, practically growling over his stolen pants. He watched as Tim just turned on his heel and walked to the dresser to get new clothes. The thing that told Roy that Tim was really stressed out was the way that Tim started fixing things on top of the dresser before going straight to the clothes. Tim’s OCD was kicking in and that meant that he and Jason had very little time left if they wanted to salvage this night. Otherwise Tim would start thinking trying to decide how to handle everything and wanting to evaluate feelings and possible ramifications to the respective relationships and the group dynamic… or something like that. Roy decided that Jason was right; Pants = BAD.
Roy positioned himself behind Tim and pressed himself close against Tim. He brushed his lips over Tim’s ear and softly murmured, “Aw, come on Little Bird, you know we didn’t mean it like that. Of course we care about what you want, in fact, we both care so much that I ended up getting tackled and your window is broken.”
Jason grinned and slid between Tim and his dresser which meant that he pressed against a very naked Tim, “It was a pretty good tackle though, you have to give me that. You never even saw me coming.”
Roy laughed and left a few kissed along the back of Tim’s neck, “Well, to be fair, I was distracted.”
Jason groaned appreciatively as his fingers ghosted over Tim’s hips, “I can see why, anybody would be distracted by him. He’s gorgeous.”
Tim felt the blush creeping over him as Jason looked at him with such hunger in his eyes. He’d wanted to talk things through, take a few minutes to think about everything, but then Roy was there kissing on him and Jason was touching him. Tim wasn’t sure how long he could hold against both of them. They seemed happy with the situation, if they weren’t worried then maybe it was okay for him to relax. He could feel his desire to yell at Jason for busting in on them just evaporate (but it had pretty much disappeared the moment he saw all of that pain in Jason’s eyes) and he told himself that if he wanted to talk things through they would have time later.
Jason grinned as he felt Tim hardening against him, the best way to get his Timmy to quit over thinking was to remove the blood supply from his brain. Jason pressed himself tighter against Tim, grinding his own hardening cock against Tim’s beautiful and surprisingly soft skin. Jason leaned down to press his lips against Tim’s, savoring the feel of his delicate mouth, the taste of his lips, the little gasp he drew in before their lips touched and the barely audible moan that escaped as Jason’s tongue swept against Tim’s.
Tim thought that he could spend forever kissing Jason, especially if that forever including Roy grinding up against his ass while lightly biting his neck. Tim knew that Roy wasn’t playing fair, he was going for all of the places that were guaranteed to make Tim’s brain melt. His whole body trembled as Roy slid his hands down Tim’s shoulders, lightly running his fingers down the inside of Tim’s arms.
Roy’s fingertips trailed along the sensitive skin of Tim’s forearms down to his wrists. He tightened his fingers around Tim’s wrist with a wicked grin. His hands held Tim’s in place as he was trailing kisses along the back of Tim’s neck, occasionally biting just hard enough for Tim to feel it without really leaving a mark.
Tim made a noise that was almost a whine in Jason’s mouth. He strained against Roy’s hold on him but it was useless, Roy was much stronger and he didn’t really want to be released. He sucked and bit on Jason’s lower lip, hard enough that Jason actually growled. Tim decided that he wanted this to continue, but he wanted it to continue somewhere that he didn’t have to worry about his legs going out from under him. “Bed,” He commanded in Bat-voice that he wasn’t previously aware he had and smirked as Jason instinctively looked over his shoulder to see if Bruce had showed up.
Jason was shocked as hell to hear that voice come out of His Tim. He was sure that it had to be B throwing his voice or something, but nope, long-ears wasn’t there. It was just Tim looking sexy as fuck all flushed, his lips puffy from being so thoroughly kissed. Jason didn’t need to be told twice, pulling Tim and Roy along with him to the bed. It didn’t take much maneuvering to end up behind Tim. After locating the lube he started preparing Tim.
Tim moaned feeling Jason start prepping him. When Jason slid in a second finger Tim’s hips started push back against him. He whimpered as Roy started stroking him, working his hips back and forth trying to get as much pleasure as he could from both of them. He froze when he felt Jason’s cock press against his opening and could barely form a coherent ’yes’ when Jay asked him if he was sure. If Tim had been able to remember how to speak he’d have told him that Jason wouldn’t be anywhere near his bed if he wasn’t sure. But for some reason Tim couldn’t really remember how to form words. Even his yes might not have been understandable if he hadn’t been emphatically nodding. He gasped as he felt Jason slowly working his way inside of Tim. Jason was taking his time, allowing Tim to relax before working in deeper, until finally he was completely buried inside Tim. Tim’s mouth was forming a perfect ’O’ as if he was trying to make more room inside of his body. He had never felt so full in his life, he had never felt so safe or so loved. Especially with Jason telling him how much he loved him, that he would always protect him, amidst a long stream of profanities that would make a sailor blush as he told Tim all the things he wanted to do to him. When Roy started kissing Tim he wasn’t sure that anything could feel better.
Roy kissed Tim so deeply and told him how much he loved him, then started kissing his was down Tim’s body. He slid his tongue over Tim’s full length, teasing the throbbing organ until Tim slid his fingers into Roy’s hair and tugged him closer, demanding more. Roy slipped Tim’s cock into his mouth, skillfully swallowing the entire length. He was rewarded with Tim’s eyes clamping shut as he made the most wanton noise that Roy had ever heard.
Jason was amazed at how tight Tim was, at how beautiful he looked at that moment, but mostly, he was amazed that Tim had let Jason be his first. Jason was absently aware that words were coming out of his mouth, which surprised him because wasn’t normally very vocal during sex (except for the random swearing) but there was just so much he wanted to tell Tim, so much that he was feeling. Jason was no virgin, but sex had never felt like this before. It wasn’t just physical this time. This time Jason running his fingers over Tim’s perfect alabaster skin actually meant something deeper. He worked until he found the spot inside of Tim that made him actually scream and writhe in pleasure. He wanted to hold out for as long as possible, make this last forever, but the intensity of it made it hard to last. Especially since Roy’s sucking on Tim was making Tim clench around him, bringing Jason closer to the edge.
Tim couldn’t hold out any longer, he cried out that he was going to cum and to his surprise Roy just looked up at him with the naughtiest look in his eyes and did something with his tongue that made Tim’s eyes roll up in the back of his head. When Jason bucked his hips just the right way Tim felt himself lose it. He was cumming so hard that he saw spots dancing before his eyes and for just a moment he completely forgot how to breathe. Pleasure swept through him in a wave that made him forget for just a moment all of the pain and neglect, all of the years he spent feeling so utterly alone. In that one perfect moment he felt that he was the two things he always wanted to be, loved and wanted.
Jason felt himself explode when Tim came, the younger man’s orgasm causing his own. When he could move again he cleaned them both up, smiling when he saw Roy snuggled against Tim. He laughed when Roy grinned and informed Tim that it was his turn, mostly because Tim looked so surprised and excited at the same time. Jason kissed Tim as Roy readied him for round two. Jason decided that this could work, he thought it would be hot to watch His Tim getting fucked, as long as he knew he could play too. It surprised Jason, but he actually felt happy, he even thought that he could actually give a damn about Roy someday. And when Roy finally pushed into Tim he wasn’t jealous. He really, really wasn’t.
