Still No Kisses (Worship Verse)
Back from school. Boring class on information literacy. And well... a Worship Verse drabble, set when Kon comes back because he does come back damnit. Give or take few months.

"Ha," a voice crowed behind Tim. "I knew you liked me back."
"Don't flatter yourself," Tim responded. He looked at Superboy, who was grinning, back and not dead. Then, he turned his head away, stared at the sky and tried not to choke. He was really back. "It's just duty."
"To leave sunflowers every week at my statue?" Kon's voice sounded way too amused. Tim didn't reply, keeping his eyes focused on the pink-purple tinted sky.
"You should stop playing hard to get," Superboy said. "It can't be good for your balls."
"Superboy," Tim warned as the meta creep closer to him.
"It's Kon--I thought you'd learned my name by now," and Kon draped an arm around Tim's shoulder. "Are you sure you're Red Robin?"
Tim's eyes twitched slightly, and he huffed, "Well, I--"
He faltered. Because he didn't know how to put into words how much he missed Kon. How it wasn't the same and how he wasn't all right and how much he liked Kon's company, annoying as it was, and he shuddered as Kon breathed into his ear, "missed me."
"Yeah," Tim whispered, even if it wasn't strong enough to convey his feelings. They stood like that watching the sun rise. After a while, Kon broke the atmosphere with, "So, do I get a kiss?"
"No," Tim instantly responded into the familiar banter.
"Aw, come on, I died and everything." Superboy wheedled.
"Not a chance," Tim retorted and shrugged off Kon's arm. He shot off a line. "You're still a kid."
Yeah, Superboy was really back.

Oh, and now that I think about it, Tim better hope Kon doesn't find out about Cassie. .__.
