Matt's hand is warm in his, their fingers comfortably intertwined with each other. It's so easy and familiar. He's even used to Matt's rough hands being bruised and injured. Before, he'd chalked it up to boxing. Bruised knuckles would make sense if Matt spent time at the gym. He knows better than that, now.
There's a part of him, and thankfully it's a very small part, that wants to tell Matt to get his own aspirin, since he's obviously so damn capable. But he bites his tongue. That's not right. Matt doesn't necessarily deserve to be treated with kid gloves, but he doesn't deserve to be treated like that, either. Of course, there is the question of how Matt does all this without being able to see. But that's not even at the top of his list right now.
"I dunno that aspirin's gonna do much for you," Tim murmurs, but he squeezes Matt's hand before pulling away, disappearing for a brief moment to get the pills and a glass of water. When he returns, he sits on the edge of the couch, placing the pills in Matt's hand and holding the glass until he can help the other sit up.
"I don't know that I believe you," he says honestly. He doesn't specify, but he's speaking of their relationship and how it relates to the vigilante case.
