Emotions had never been easy for Dick, and speaking so plainly was entirely new for him. Telling Tim how he felt up front had taken a lot, and the collaring ceremony was remarkably intense. It only moved to figure that Tim might also be exhausted from it. It felt good, right, and Dick liked the soft way Tim sat in his embrace.
The fact that he was tired and so comfortable meant that he genuinely did trust Dick utterly and completely. Dick leaned in and kissed Tim's temple. If the other had been slightly lighter or less tall, he might have been able to pick him up and, with a few adjustments, carry him to the bedroom. Dick might still be able to handle it in certain situations, but with someone so tired, it was probably best that they take the short sleepy walk.
"Come with me. It's a short distance. We'll sleep. I don't mind." Pulling Tim to the bedroom, he yanked down the covers and pulled off most of Tim's clothes. They had no reason to sleep in anything. He left his boxer briefs on. That would be up to Tim to keep on or take off. Dick crawled in naked and opened up his arms for Tim to gather near. "Come, my dear one, come lay near me and rest. I will be here and watch over you. "
Tim was fine with walking, especially when Dick kept ahold of him. He'd always been more clingy when he was sleepy, mind too tired to argue about his need for comfort and warmth. Especially not with Dick, who he had complete faith would do anything to keep him safe. So why not let himself drift in and out of consciousness? There was no better place for it.
There was no argument from him when he was stripped down and his boxer briefs only got left on because he was too lazy to fling them off. Tim wasn't insecure about his body, so he didn't mind being as naked as Dick wanted him to be. There were scars, sure, but they were evidence of his work as a vigilante. Besides, the one from the Council of Spiders destroying his spleen was the worst looking one and it wasn't even that bad.
As soon as Dick was in the bed Tim crawled in next to him, shamelessly pressing into his open arms and fitting himself against the older man. "You can sleep too." He told him softly, already sounding like sleep was taking him over.
They'd already been as intimate as two people could be, and this was an even tighter bond sewn between them with their words tonight. There was no pause in getting mostly naked with Tim. Dick felt utterly comfortable with his partner and lover. This was how Dick hoped they'd end up most nights or early mornings, as the case would typically be for them.
He didn't say as much because that was another step for another day. Feeling the warmth of Tim's body pressed against his pulled on his fatigue as well. He nosed into Tim's neck and sighed softly. "You smell so warm and good. I could get used to this." He smiled with his lips pressed against his skin.
"I plan on it. Goodnight, mine." With that, Dick closed his eyes and slowly allowed himself to drift off to sleep.
