It sounded like heaven, getting to be spoiled enough to have Dick wash him down while still being smart about the stitches. He had to be extra careful about things with his spleen gone, but at least he was taking the time to do so. Being with Dick had made him a lot more likely to take care of himself, because he knew someone out there cared about him so much. Obviously he hadn't intended to get hurt, but it was unfortunately part of the job.

"Yeah." The younger man croaked, his cheeks a little red. "I can get into the tub if you don't mind helping me wash up." It hurt, mostly because Tim really preferred not to have to use narcotics if he could help it. They messed with his mind and his stomach, and while the pain relief was nice, he had also been through much worse than this and knew he could take it without drugging himself too much.

Tim led Dick over to the bathroom, turning the taps so the water could run until it was warm. In the meantime, he leaned against the sink counter and gazed up at him. "I appreciate you taking such good care of me." The younger of the two offered him a boyish, affectionate smile. He wanted Dick to know how much he valued what the two of them had together, how easy it felt just being with him.

The water was warm and it felt good to have Dick's hands move along his body. Especially the kissing and nuzzling--it brought him a comfort he didn't get to indulge himself in very often. Tim let himself close his eyes and relax into it, more than happy to be pampered after a rough night. "I care about you a lot too." The younger of the two hummed in response, just because he felt like it was important that Dick know. Each time, it got easier to share his feelings with his boyfriend.

A contented little sigh left him as the grime was washed off of his skin. Dick was right, this was a lot better than going to bed filthy or risking an infection by showering too soon after stitching himself up. Besides, intimate time with his partner (whether it was sexual or not) was something he'd quickly grown to cherish above all else. It was almost silly, how hard he'd fallen for Dick the moment he'd found out his fantasies about them being together could become a reality.

"I appreciate you taking care of me." His eyelashes fluttered as he gazed up at him, looking much more vulnerable than he usually allowed himself to. "I'm really lucky that I have you."

It was such a sweet offer, to take some of Tim's pain away. He knew that the older man would do whatever it took to keep him safe, including put himself in danger. The thing was, he didn't want Dick in any more danger than necessary, either. It would hurt him just as badly to see him hurt. Still, if he tried to argue that he was sure not to get very far. Dick had been protective before they got together, it had only doubled since.

Instead of worrying about all of that, he relaxed back and enjoyed the sensation of feeling fully clean again. It wasn't easy work, but Tim felt so much better without all of the city's grime coating his skin. "I think I'm ready to curl into bed with you." The younger of the two hummed, leaning up so he could press a sweet little kiss to Dick's lips as a thank you.

It took some help, but he was able to ease himself out of the tub and carefully dry off while leaving his stitches alone. Tim leaned on Dick while he stood, murmuring softly how much he appreciated the assistance he was given. Clothes seemed like more of a hassle than anything else, so he opted not to throw any on. Laziness tended to win out when he was exhausted and beat up.

"I'll get in bed and wait for you while you shower." The shorter vigilante pressed another kiss to Dick's soft lips, then padded over to his bed. Because he was a spoiled little thing, it was nice and big. Plenty of room for both of them. Though, knowing Tim, he would still attach to the older man like his life depended on it. Some people were surprised to find out he was such a cuddler, but he figured it was because of the neglect he went through as a child. He just wanted to feel safe and like someone was there with him.
