Breaking the habit [Olivia]

[Olivia Levine]

Olivia's head popped up, her eyes big and wide as if caught off guard. She looked him over eyes going up and down his frame, then to his face, which held a smile. Not one that was hungry and needy like the men she normally delt with, but one that was kind, and just seemed helpful, "No no I got it" she said, making another attempt. She seemed to become more and more helpless...


She tried one last time, and then looked to him. "actually, yess please?" she asked, looking down at her sling..This was about to become interesting... Nervously, she moved her hand away, letting him help.

[Tim Drake]

Tim looked up at her and nodded, his smile turning into a look of understanding as he cleared his throat and looked at her hands for a moment.

This was going to be slightly awkward...

"Uhh, okay then..." Reaching up slowly, he gently undid the button and then gave the zipper a tug until it was down, his breathing shallow but even so, he kept himself as composed as he could, even when he caught sight of her underwear, and a tint crept into his cheeks, he didn't waver, his fingers slowly tugging at her jean pockets to get her started.

"Uhh, there you go, think you can manage some from there?" he asked, suddenly feeling very nervous, but not really showing it, he hoped anyway.

Since he had met her, Tim was really taken with how striking she was, and in some small way, he was almost mystified at how Will could pursue Violet as he did, since a working relationship with a romantic undertone was just asking for trouble, or at least that's what all the experts seemed to think, and it was why he didn't look for anything more than friendship from his female teammates, he felt that anything past that wasn't fair to anyone.

Good thing Olivia wasn't a teammate, since he knew deep down, that he was growing soft on her, a small tickle of infatuation teasing at him as he tried not to stare at the black sheen of her underwear, exposed as it was just now, and of course, that dark blue corset top did nothing to hide her willowy figure...

[Olivia Levine]

"I think i got it" Olivia said, twisting her hips back and forth, and watching as they slowly slid off. once above her knees, the jeans fell like as if someone pulled them off. Olivia stepped one leg out of them, and then kicked them up of her other leg and into her hand. "Thank you" she smiled. reaching behind her to start undoing her corset.

"Uh, Tim? one more little thing, then I believe I can handle it" she said, turning her back to him. "Can you do the corset please?" she asked, moving her hair over. She felt slow, and helpless, like Ruby only worse.

[Tim Drake]

Tim had gotten up and turned around and had taken all but two steps when she called back to him, causing him to look back over his shoulder at her, and blink...

The corset?

Oh boy...

"Oh uh sure okay..." Tim went back to her and licked his lower lip, since it seemed to be suddenly chapped, and dry, but he reached up and after a moment if hesitation due to the style of buttons, he undid them, quickly, the garment coming free, and his eyes averting as he turned and walked back to the door, glancing for a bare moment back at her, seeing all of her bare back and what parts of her arms that weren't covered in either a cast, or bandages, her pale porcelain hued skin bruised in places, and freckled lightly everywhere else he saw, his eyes halting for just a split second at the small gentle curve of her chest before the darted away in time to tell him he was about to walk into the half open door.

"Uhh, Olivia... If you um, need anything else *cough* just call out, I'll be in the kitchen... Speaking of which, are you hungry? I picked up some waffle mix and was planing on making some..."

He paused just outside the door and half turned his head and glanced in her direction, but didn't look at her, to try and give her some level of privacy.

[Olivia Levine]

"uh, yeah, sounds good" Olivia said, unfolding her gray pajama pants with one hand.She turned to him before putting on the pants, and tilted her head. "Are you ok?" she asked, blinking one or two more times. She knew this was embarrassing. This was humiliating for her. She had always taken care of herself, and then, for herself and Ruby. No help from anyone, and now, she had become completely dependent on the titans for everything from a place to stay, to bailing her out of the hospital. The teen sighed, looking to him. She felt bad, honestly. It wasn't fair to him, he didn't sign up for this... pulling on her pants, she sighed, sitting and taking off the sling to pull on her sports bra and tank top awkwardly. She then pulled the sling back on, and came into the kitchen.

"Hey, Tim?" Olivia said, looking to her cast. "Thanks...really.., just thanks..."

[Tim Drake]

Tim look away some and nodded; "Uh yeah, just kind hoping I don't over step my bounds here..." then he shrugged and walked into the kitchen...


A few minuets later he had the waffle iron out and was stirring a bowl of mix up and about to pour when she came in and spoke to him, and he could of course read the shame, and humble thanks in her tone and body language, so after he poured a full spread and shut the iron, he set the bowl down and turned, wiping his hands on a towel as he looked at her, his head tilted.

"It's cool Olivia, really, I don't mind it, and I know Will would insist on it all. Don't sweat it okay?"

He shifted his stance and then took one step forward and looked at the cast as well, a small smile on his lip as he gently reached out to it and tapped his fingertip lightly on it, a soft clicking sounding from the purple fiberglass. "So Ruby picked the color huh?" he asked, seeming to remember her mentioning it for some reason back in the hospital; "She seems to know what color looks good on you." he said with his small smile as he looked at her face, suddenly very aware of her perfume and how lost and hurt she looked right now, that little boy in him, just like in all good boys, suddenly surging forward, shouting about how he would make it all better, with kisses and flowers and cookies and little doodles on her cast, the nonsense bursting about in the back of his mind and heart fighting the calm, mature, and fairly reserved young man that was also one of the most effective superheroes on earth...

Which is why it seemed all too easy to try and stuff that eager, kind hearted little boy down into a box as he reminded himself that, he was hardly boyfriend material, as much as he or others might like to argue otherwise.

[Olivia Levine]

Olivia smiled to him,tilting her head to the side, watching him. "Fine" she smiled, as he tapped her cast, she smiled more. "She knows purple is my favorite color. She personally likes red though" The teen pushed her hair back, and blushed to him. She was getting a little shy now, she wasn't sure what read she was getting from him. She blushed again as he said it looked good on her. "I'd rather the purple be a shirt though, not a cast..." The blond let her hair go into her face, blushing bright pink.

[Tim Drake]

Tim smiled at her, his own cheeks wanting to break out in a fire like blush, but settling for a soft darkening as he stood there and she suddenly got shy, her own cheeks a pretty pink color, as her golden locks slid back into her face as she looked down at the cast.

Tim felt a flurry of butterflies attack his stomach, and a tingle work its way around his nervous system as he stood there WANTING to do or say something, but almost clueless as to what that something might be, the only two options he could think of being to either gently rest his hand on her upper arm as a show of comfort or kiss her which would be a sign of what? His love? Affection? Ehhh, he was liking her and a lot, but Tim wasn't foolish enough to think that he was madly in love with her, not at this point, no it would be mad to claim to love her, and likely hurtful to them both as well as completely submarine the whole sha-bang before it ever really started.

Stupid and foolish, two things Tim liked to think he was not.

He chuckled softly and then spoke in a soft almost shy voice as he looked at her, his electric blue eyes almost begging for a chance to look into her pale icy blue eyes; "Hmm, shirts do look better than casts, its a proven fact, but then smiles are the most attractive feature of all..."
No harm in a complement right?

Wait, did he just hit on her?

[Olivia Levine]

Blinking a few times, Olivia blushed a brighter shade of pink, the color overtaking her cheeks. Blond hair in her eyes, and blue eyes looking up to him, "Really?" she giggled, tilting her head to the other side. She knew that she wouldn't be able to stand here much longer, he was just making her slowly start to like him,more that is...

Something about Tim just made her feel beautiful. She blinked once, and then looked down quickly, Her eyes meeting his on the way back up, locking and refusing to let her pull away. Tim just seemed like the perfect guy...

[Tim Drake]

Tim felt a primal surge, a blast of pure emotion, and a spark of biological chemistry as he looked at the blushing giggling girl standing there, who despite, or maybe because of, her injuries, was suddenly a creature of such stunning beauty, fragile and in need to some tender kindness and attention, and that was what pushed the lid off the box he had stuffed that little boy in himself down into...

Into a place that...

"Yeah... You have a really nice Smile Olivia..."

Oh to hell with it...

Tim blushed a bit brighter, mostly at himself, since despite all his training, had never been told how to talk to girls, but at this point he wasn't going to talk too much... He stepped that one last step closer to her, and smiled, one hand reaching out to hers, and gently holding it as he leaned in, and used his other hand to brush her golden lock's from her face, and smile at her, his eyes locked on hers until their noses touched, and his eyes fluttered closed and he bent his head over and pressed his lips into hers softly, and kissed her, the cool sweet warmth and softness sending electricity across his mouth and down his back into his toes and other extremities, his nose feeling hot and about to bleed as he slowly pulled back and gasped softly, almost as if as if he had been running across town rather than just standing in a kitchen kissing a really pretty girl...

Wow... That just happened!

[Olivia Levine]

Not in control, Olivia followed suit in his actions. A deeper red came to her cheeks, She allowed herself to close her eyes and lean in, and felt a major spark once his lips touch hers.

All the cliche things that a girl needed in a kiss, the fireworks, sparks, butterflies, goosebumps, everything, was present. As he pulled away, she gasped a little. That was the most amazing thing she'd ever experianced. She didn't know why it happened, how it happened or anything, just that it did, and she couldn't take it back, she didn't want to.

Her hand flew up to her mouth, touching her bottom lip like she had bitten it too hard.

[Tim Drake]

Tim opened his eyes and leaned back some, his breath coming in quick bursts as he slowly licked his lips, the sweet cool flavor of Olivia's mouth tingling on his tongue and lips as his eyes drowned in her blushing gaze, her pale skin flushed with color, her eyes deep and shimmering...

She looked so pretty and lost and lonely, and in need to some care. He should make her feel safe.

"Wow..." Tim whispered as he moved a little closer and then rested his hand on her good shoulder and then gently pulled her into a hug, nothing too tight or anything, just a warm, comforting hug, his hold on her careful of her injuries, but also protective.

"That was way better then they show in the movies." he said almost jokingly, but also truthfully, since she was in a way his first real kiss...


He felt amazing at this point, higher than the tower, on top of the world, and he liked it!

[Olivia Levine]

Olivia giggled, letting him hug her, she hugged him back with her good arm, and just smiled into him. "It was way better then any other kiss" she beamed, then thought... in the movies?

"Wait" Olivia pulled back to look at Tim. "Was this your first kiss?" she asked,somewhat pointedly. The SUPER HERO never kissed a girl? This sent her head spinning. Did he like it? Was it a good kiss? How was her breath? The blond blushed now. She didn't even know...

Looking around the kitchen, she just went back to hugging him. The blond sighed contently. "What does this make us?" she asked. Were they just random affection partners?

[Tim Drake]

Tim blushed softly and just held her, then nodded before he replied; "Well, my first REAL kiss, I was involved with a girl for a short time back in Gotham, but nothing ever happened, and then I moved here and well..." he closed his eyes and shook his head as she hugged him again, his face leaning down to kiss her on the side of the head and then whisper into her ear; "Yes, that was my first really romantic kiss... And I've kinda had a tiny crush on you since I met you Olivia, your a strong brave person, with lots of love to offer the right person... I hope I can be the lucky guy, if you let me."

He moved a hand up to her shoulder and just held her there, gently, protectively, before he answered her question; "I don't know exactly, but I like this right here, I like feeling as if I'm protecting you. Do you like it?"

He needed to know how she felt about this; was she just rolling with it? Did she even care? Or was she hanging onto every action and word as if it might make or break her at any time?

Tim suddenly realized how much power she now held over him, and that he likely held some form of influence over her now as well... How would this play out?

[Olivia Levine]

Olivia giggled. "I like this, a lot, like a lot alot" she smiled proudly to him. She gave him another careful hug, then let her hand go up to his neck, pulling him down to her lips. She gave him another passion fueled kiss, smiling brightly as she pulled away. "More then a lot actually" The teen turned her head. "The waffles are burning" she blushed. "Or there about to..., I can't tell, I just know they've been in there too long" She pulled her hand away, and let her wrist hang. "this thing is heavy" she looked to her wrist.

Her cast was kinda heavy, looking to the baby monitor, she sighed. Ruby was fast asleep, as she should be. "I'm definately going to take a nap later, like when Ruby falls back asleep" She commented to no one but herself. Its been 24 hours strait that she was awake, and she was exausted.
