Chapter Text
Kon watches in a mixture of mild amusement and disbelief as Tim’s head jerks back up from where it dropped down towards his chest. It’s lucky that Kon’s been subtly controlling the car with his telekinesis for the last half an hour or else they would have crashed by now.
They’ve been driving for about 10 hours now, heading across America in a silver Audi in order to do a mission. When Kon questioned why he couldn’t fly them there Tim simply stated that they needed to arrive to the town covertly, they needed to be unsuspicious as possible. Arriving in a car full of holiday gear makes them look like unsuspecting tourists.
Of course Kon rolled his eyes and complained about it, but after a couple hours in the car he found himself not really minding it. Being alone with Tim where they could chat about anything and everything was nice. Tim’s company made up for the fact his body was seizing up painfully at least.
However as the day dragged on the two of them were being drained and being on a deadline meant they needed to drive into the night. At his own persistence, Tim’s been driving for the last 4 hours but by now it was really getting to him. He’s falling asleep at the wheel.
When Kon first saw the signs of Tim trying to keep himself awake he reached out through the car with his powers just to help stabilize it. He knew better than to ask Tim to have a break, so he’d subtly help his boyfriend out and keep quiet while doing so. Half an hour later Kon knew he had to step in.
“Come on Tim, pull over. Let me drive for a while so you can get some shut eye.” Kon says it as a gentle demand, not wanting to pressure Tim but to gently coax him out.
It proves how tired his boyfriend was because he simply hums and nods. “Uh yeah, at the next emergency refuge or service station.”
They stop not even 5 minutes later in an emergency refuge area. Once the car stops Kon climbs out of the passengers side and makes his way over to the driver’s side as Tim clumsily climbs over the centre console into the passenger’s seat.
Kon settles in, adjusts the seat and looks over at Tim who was already nearly asleep. Kon smiles lovingly and stretches over to pull the seatbelt over Tim and press a light kiss to his temple. Starting the car up Kon carefully pulls back onto the road so he could continue their journey.
