This is really short, and pretty much another chapter of fluff XD But I wanted to show some of Tim's progress throughout the story, so I wrote it anyway :)
Reply to a guest called Snow: Yes, that was on purpose XD

CHapter 8 - I Wanna Try
"You sure?"
Tim nods, "I wanna try."
It had been three months since the two got their own apartment, and Tim had slept with Jason every single night. Tonight he was going to try to sleep in his own room. Keyword there being 'try'.
"Alright. We'll both leave the doors open incase you have a nightmare, and you can always come back over if you need to."
Tim nods taking a deep breath, "Thanks."
Jason laughs, "You look like you're getting ready to enter a war."
"A war in my head." Tim says crossing his arms and looking down at the floor. Jason immediately sombers and puts his hands on Tim's shoulders, forcing the smaller boy to look at him.
"Tim, you'll be fine. You've come a long way since it happened."
"That doesn't mean the nightmares stopped, though." Tim says looking away. Jason pulls him into his chest and kisses the top of his head.
"You'll be okay. I'm just a hallway away if you need me."
Tim nods, and the two release each other. They both go to their own rooms, and go to sleep.
Jason listens for Tim for a few hours. Some nights Tim doesn't have nightmares, some nights he does, and some nights he just doesn't want to be alone. Jason finally goes to sleep after deeming Tim okay for the night, and trying to push down the worrying fact that if something were to happen that he couldn't protect Tim the instant it happened.
Jason doesn't hear Tim having any nightmares the entire night, so he counts that as a win. But he still smiles when he sees Tim curled up beside him when he wakes up in the morning.
Now that I'm posting this, I'm realizing that this chapter really has no purpose whatsoever XD But is has cure Timmy and Jay brother moments in it, so...Eh, I like it anyways XD
The next chapter, like I said before, brings in a few more new characters and sets up some more of the story for the climax! :)
Review!
