AN: This is just short and fuffy and in response to a prompt challenge on tumblr. Check out my writing blog: on tumblr, (at symbol)cocopops1995. Enjoy!
Tim was beginning to feel annoyed, and a little uncomfortable, but mostly annoyed.
"Is there a reason that you keep staring at me?" he finally asked in exasperation, looking up from his laptop and at his older brother who had walked in to his room about twenty minutes ago and had been staring at him since then.
Dick's face lit up immediately, "I need ice cream and pizza."
Tim looked up at Dick with a raised eyebrow, "At the same time?" he asked skeptically.
Dick made a face, "Ew, no! I meant one after the other! Like pizza for dinner and ice cream for dessert!"
"Okay, and?" Tim asked, although he knew exactly what Dick wanted from him.
"Aaand," Dick drew out the word, "I need someone to come with me!"
Tim sighed, "I can't, Dick. I have to finish this report for Bruce and then I have two new homework assignments that I have to finish for school."
This time Dick was the one to raise an eyebrow, "This report for Bruce, when does he need it by."
"Wednesday." Tim answered.
"Which is three days from now, correct?"
"Yes, but -"
"And the homework assignments, when are they due?" Dick cut Tim off with another question.
Tim frowned, "Two weeks from now."
Dick grinned, "So in other words, you have more than enough time to finish everything."
"Well, yes, but -"
"Timmy, would you please shut the hell up and listen to me?" Dick asked, sounding a little exasperated, "You need a break. You've been working yourself to death lately, I can tell because you're starting to look like a panda!"
Tim frowned at that; he doubted that the circles under his eyes were that dark. Although, now that he thought about it, he did feel kind of tired.
"C'mon, Timmy! I want you to take a break because I don't want you to burn yourself out! Besides, you know you're the only other one who likes ice cream and pizza! So besides you I don't have anyone to go with me!" Dick ended his plea by leveling the full force of his pout at Tim.
Tim groaned in defeat, "It's not fair when you pout! Your pout sucks!"
Dick pouted harder, "Don't say that! The pout can hear you! The pout has feelings you know!"
Tim took one look at his brother before bursting out laughing. Dick joined him soon after.
When he finally stopped laughing Tim said to Dick: "I'll come with you on one condition."
Dick grinned, "Name it."
"The next time you pout at Bruce, and I'm around to see it, please say something like that again! The look on his face will be priceless!" Tim said, already cracking up at the mere thought of it.
Dick laughed too, "Sure thing, little brother! Now come on, let's go get some ice cream and pizza!"
Tim chuckled at his brother's amusement as he saved and closed the report he had been working on.
"Right behind you, big brother."
