All he needed was a heartbeat.
The complex and rhythmic motions so versatile to life. It was all he needed. Tim was happy with it. He loved it. The music that would play to his ears when he placed his head on Jason's chest. The simple rise and fall with every breath. The calm and peace that came.
It was a lullaby as far as Tim was concerned. Just listening, knowing the warm mass below him was alive and well. Asleep and dreaming a rare but good dream. Tim inhaled deeply, closing his eyes as he smelt sweat and aftershave. He couldn't help but giggle softly at the slight hint of gun powered.
Try as he might, Tim could not chase away the dread he felt. With hearing that heart beat below him, that music that lulled him to sleep most nights. He couldn't imagine it ceasing, stopping in its final beat. That thought alone scared him, knowing that that music could never be heard again.
Tim opened his eyes, forcing the thought from his mind. In all honesty, he should be asleep by now, but a slight nightmare startled him awake. For the life of him, he couldn't quite recall what it was, but all he knew was that he had to check a heartbeat. He blushed a bit. It was childish, he knew that, but in the end he couldn't help it.
A warm hand danced a crossed Tim's soft black hair, disturbing his thoughts. Tim glanced up from his position, wondering if he had woken the sleeping man. Jason gave him a slight smirk, before leaning forward and placing a kiss on his forehead. Tim relaxed again, laying his head back down on Jason's chest. Tim closed his eyes, listening once again to the lullaby. Jason's hands magically playing long to the tune of his heart. It wasn't long before Tim fell back into a slumber, what dread he once felt faded away.
Jason sighed one last time, before he himself, returned to the land of sleep.
