Tim nods slowly, even though Matt can't see it. But, apparently, maybe he can hear it, or smell it, or any number of things. Matt's always been capable, but he's even more capable than Tim ever gave him credit for. It's incredible. Honestly, it is. Maybe he would be able to appreciate it more if he weren't finding it out under the current circumstances.
Suddenly, he feels oddly violated.
"I'll replace the lock," he says, even though that's the least important issue at the moment.
He shifts from one foot to the other, wonders if Matt can hear that, too. It's frustrating. Matt probably knows more like this than he would if he could see. It still doesn't explain how Matt learned how to fight. Tim's seen the state the Devil of Hell's Kitchen puts people in. It shouldn't be possible. even if Matt does box. He thinks back to the day they met, when Matt was representing a man they'd just arrested. The day is very vivid in his mind. Only in part because he has a good memory — most of it is because Matt's so damn important to him, of course he'd remember the day they met.
"You knew I was on the vigilante task force before we ever slept together," Tim says. The pieces have fallen together so neatly. Somehow, this is the part that he's dreading the most. This part of the puzzle. "How am I supposed to believe that has nothin' to do with our relationship?"
