Chapter 10 - Jason

Warnings: injury, swearing, pain, crying, blood

Everything happened so fast. After the gunshot rang through the large office followed by your body falling to the floor, Jason didn't even register his finger pulling his own trigger. A second loud gunshot rang through the office right into Sionis' hip. He yelled out in pain, clutching his hip as he doubled over.

From there it was a blur, the next thing he remembers is Tim and Damien running into the room and Jason held your body close to his, applying pressure to your wound.

"We heard the gunshots, Batman and Nightwing are on their way here" Damien stated, making his way to Sionis' now also unconscious body. Tim rushed over to Jason and you, assessing the situation.

Shortly after Bruce showed up and with the help of Damien lugged Sionis out of there as Tim tried his best to help you. Jason felt useless at the moment, all of his knowledge of wounds went out the window as he held your unconscious body close to his.

"He shot her Timbers" Jason felt his eyes starting to water up but he swallowed back his tears. Tim could hear how Jason sounded choked up but knew better than to tease him right now.

"I know Jay, just keep pressure on it ok?" Tim replied softly, fumbling through the things in his belt trying to find something to help. Jason decided he was taking too long and yanked off his jacket and tying it around your wound tightly. "Good thinking, but your jacket's gonna get ruined"

"Do you really think I give a shit about that right now?" Jason snapped, locking eyes with Tim through his helmet. Tim looked slightly startled but shook his head. "Do you think Alfred can help her?"

"Yes, I'll take her back. She can't get on your bike like this" Tim answered, standing to his feet.

"Fuck that, you take my bike back. I'm taking her" Jason spoke up, standing up with you bridal style in his arms.

"Jay I don't think that's a good idea, I should-" Jason cut him off.

"I said I'm fucking taking her, it's my fault she's in this situation anyway" he snapped again, this time voice cracking. "I'll meet you at the manor. Fucking hurry"

**************

Jason burst through the doors of the Batcave. Upon hearing the news of you getting shot, Dick decided to stay back and help Alfred prepare everything he needed to fix you up. Jason laid you out on the bed, untying his now blood covered jacket from around your waist. Alfred carefully took some scissors and cut the top of your suit off. He cleared off the dried blood before looking over at Jason who was watching intently with tear filled eyes. His helmet was off and now people could see him, so he was doing his best to not cry.

"Master Jason, I think it best you don't be here for this" Alfred commented warily, glancing from Jason's face over to the table of surgical tools.

"No I need to, I need her to stay alive. I can't leave her alone right now, I can't" he rambled, catching Dick and Tim's attention.

"No Jason, what you need is to stop being a stubborn asshole and listen to your fucking family. You don't need to watch her get cut open" Tim finally snapped. Jason went quiet and recoiled into himself slightly.

"Alright, fine. But as soon as she's done let me know" he mumbled before picking up his jacket that he dropped on the floor.

"I'll take you upstairs" dick said quietly, going to start walking that way.

"No. Don't fucking coddle me. Help her" Jason replied, giving you one last look before he made his way up to his room.

***********

Warm water ran down Jason's muscular back as he hung his head under the shower head. It soothed his aching muscles, giving him the only form of relief he's felt for hours. The stream near his feet turned a slight pink as he cleaned blood off of his knuckles, with a sting as the water ran through the fresh cuts.

He placed a hand on the cold tile wall in front of him, shifting most of his weight into his shoulder and arm. Leaning his head back, he let his face get pelted with water for a split second before pulling away. He wiped his face, standing back up straight as he did so.

His hand reached forward and shut off the water. Stepping out of the shower, he grabbed a towel and dried off his hair before wrapping it around his waist.

When he stepped from the bathroom back into his room, he passed your bag. He stopped for a moment and stared down at it. Fuck he felt awful. He felt terrible that you got shot, even more so because you wouldn't have even been there if it weren't for him. But what really got him was he caught himself acting like you were dead.

He was moping around like a lost puppy because you weren't there anymore. This made him realize that he can try and fool himself and other people all he wants, but he really does love you and need you in his life.

He sighed quietly before pulling on some boxers and sweatpants. He hung his towel on his bathroom door and flopped onto his bed. He slowly pushed the comforter aside to lay underneath it. He knew for a fact that he wasn't gonna sleep very good, maybe even at all, til he knew you'd be fine, but he also knew that everyone else was worried. Not only for you, but for him. It's very clear how hard Jason's taking this, everyone can see it. Dick especially knows because of their little heart to heart, which is partly why Jason lashed out at him and Tim so much. He had a feeling Dick wouldn't have been able to hold that in too well and he would've told one person who can keep a secret like that and would actually care, which would be Tim.

After a few hours of tossing and turning, Jason huffed and got up. He silently made his way to the kitchen to get something to eat. The lights were on in the house but he didn't see anyone around. He assumed they're all in the cave or asleep. It was nearing 4 am after all, so he wasn't surprised he was alone.

He grabbed out a glass and filled it with water, deciding against drinking anything with caffeine or alcohol. After downing the whole glass he decided to make something to eat, which is what he originally came down there for anyway. He decided on just a grilled cheese because when didn't feel like doing or eating much.

Apparently he was hungrier than he thought because he ended up eating the whole thing in about two seconds flat and even making another one. Right as he finished off his second, Alfred came upstairs from the cave. This immediately caught Jason's attention, making him sit up straighter and look at the older man.

"Ah, Master Jason. I was coming up to look for you" he commented quietly. Jason nodded, awaiting any news that he had. "Miss (Y/n) will be alright, lucky for her Black Mask must have pretty bad aim. The bullet didn't hit any vital organs. I was able to take the bullet out, she should be fine after she rests and heals up" Jason let out a sigh of relief as a small smile came onto his face.

"Thank you, Alfred" he said quietly. Alfred gave him a small smile in return, along with a nod.

"Of course Master Jason. She's not awake yet, and I don't think she will be until the morning. Please get some rest yourself" he stated, putting his hands together. "If you don't mind now, I'll be heading to bed" Alfred turned and started heading to his room.

“Goodnight Alfred” Jason mumbled, turning to stare at the sink that was now full of his dirty dishes. Your voice rang through his head, telling him to clean up after himself so Alfred doesn’t have to. He stepped forward and turned on the water, making sure he cleaned the dishes really good. Alfred just saved your life for him, the least he could do was the dishes.

Once he finished up he glanced toward the hallway Alfred had recently emerged from. He wanted to go see you. See for himself that you were ok. But he shouldn’t. Alfred told him to go to sleep, and he was normally right.

So against his gut feeling, he turned and trudged up the stairs back to his room. He laid back down and forced his body to sleep.

Chapter 9 - The Gala

Warnings: Swearing, Sexual themes, Violence, Bloodshed, broken bones, kidnapping, guns, bullet wounds, crying, near death experience,

Your dress took a while to shimmy into a zip up by yourself but you finally managed. It was definitely easier when you had Jason to help you but he was off somewhere else in the house getting himself ready. He was acting like this was prom or something, saying he didn’t want to see you until you were ready. It didn’t really phase you until you started getting dressed, you really wished you’d had some help then.

The gala had technically started already, but you didn’t care enough to make it there on time. The only thing Jason wanted was to just be there in general, so he wasn’t mad about it either. You smiled at the finished product of your makeup, admiring your craftsmanship before cleaning your mess up. You were finished getting ready so you headed down to the living room with your small silver clutch that held your phone.

Jason was sitting on the couch, donning a black suit with a red shirt and black tie. He looked amazing, and you couldn’t deny that. At the sound of your shoes clacking against the marble stairs, he looked up. His eyes met yours, catching you staring at him. He smirked slightly before noticing your figure. His eyes traced your every curve as he took in the lovely sight. He stood up, draping his suit coat over his arm as he walked to meet you at the bottom of the staircase.

“You look amazing (Y/n)” he commented, offering you his hand to help you down the last step. You gave him a small smile, feeling much more shy now that he was there. His eyes never left you, but you couldn’t force yours to leave him either.

“Thanks Jaybird, so do you” you replied quietly. “So, should we make our grand entrance at this shitty thing?” You asked, grabbing his bicep while staring up at his eyes. He nodded, his shaggy hair that he hadn’t styled bouncing slightly as he did so.

“Let’s go fuck some shit up” he answered, a devious smile making its way into his face as you laughed.

***********

You held Jason’s arm tightly as you entered the grand venue the gala was taking place at. You never realized how much influence Roman Sionis had in Gotham until you saw some of the very powerful people indulging in the complimentary champagne. You were no exception to that, holding a glass of your own in the hand that wasn’t lopped through Jason’s arm. Jason wasn’t drinking, he wanted to be able to stay on alert. You however, were just along for the ride.

Jason turned to you at one point with a smirk on his face. He delicately slid your champagne glass out of your hand and placed it on a random table behind him.

“Come on doll, we didn’t practice dancing for nothing” he commented before leading you to the dance floor. You laughed lightly, following him willingly. As soon as he stopped you wrapped your arms around his shoulders, pulling him close.

“Sionis is death glaring you right now” you whispered in his ear, glancing at the man behind Jason’s shoulder who looked furious. Jason wrapped his arms around your waist, leaning down to place his lips by your ear.

“Good, I wanted his attention” he responded. “He was looking at you like a piece of meat, I ant him to know you didn’t come alone” he added quietly, spinning the two around around while making it look like he was dancing casually.

“Don’t draw attention to yourself Jay, you don’t want him connecting the dots when Red Hood comes after him later” you reminded, making him nod and shift his gaze to your face. “What’s so important about this specific event?”

“He’s got a deal going down tonight, big one, and I’m not gonna let that happen” he explained shortly, emitting a sigh from your lips.

“What kind of deal? Drugs? Guns?” You followed up, feeling slightly annoyed at his lack of information. He gave you a pointed glance, as if he didn’t want to say. “Why are you looking at me like that?”

“Because I know when I tell you it’s gonna piss you off” he muttered, letting go of you and giving you a twirl.

“I’m a big girl Jason, I think I can handle it” you raised both eyebrows at him.

“Drugs, lots of them, they’re going straight to the srteets and he’s aiming for the teenage market” he answered, making you grit your teeth slightly. “I knew it’s piss you off” he commented, eyeing your clenched jaw. “Relax, you have an audience, remember?” He whispered.

“So what’re you gonna do to stop him?” You questioned. He was about answer you, when the song ended and Sionis decided to address his guests.

You grabbed Jason’s wrist and pulled him along with you as you went to get some hors d’oeuvres. One good thing you could say about Roman Sionis was he knew how to feed a crowd, but that was it. While you and Jason were getting yourselves something to eat, you heard that dreadful sound.

“Ah, there she is. Just the girl I was looking for” you let out a breath and spin around to see Roman smiling widely at you. “Who’s your friend?” He asked, looking Jason up and down.

“Derek” you stated, not wanting him to know who Jason was. “I met him here actually” you added.

“Of course, you wouldn’t come with a date” he stated, it sounding more like a command than anything. Jason really had to fight the urge to pop him in the jaw at the sound of that. “Walk with me, we need to have a chat” you gave Jason a look before slowly walking toward Roman. He placed his hand on the small of your back and started leading you away from the crowd. You smacked his wrist so he moved his hand off of you, but kept walking.

He led you into en elevator that took you up to his disgustingly familiar office, and you felt a pit forming in your stomach. The slight heels on your shoes clacked against the marble floors, echoing in the empty room.

“How’d you pay off the debt?” He asked roughly as soon as the door clicked shut and he knew you were alone.

“What?” You asked confusedly.

“A week ago money got wired into my account under your name in the amount you were in debt to me for” he stated. “I’m only asking one more time, where’d you get the money bitch?” He asked, grabbing a handful of hair from the back of your head and harshly pulling it toward him.

“Ow fuck” you grunted. This must’ve been the ‘business’ Jason has to do and redused to tell you about. “I stole it, how else do you think?” You lied, wincing as his grip tightened.

“Bullshit, it would’ve gone public if you stole that fucking much” he growled, pulling your head back so it rested on his shoulder as he stood behind you.

“Well contrary to your belief, sometimes I’m good at my fucking job” you retorted. He shoved you forward, letting his fingers slip from your hair and making you stumble foward toward his desk. “I don’t understand what your problem is, you got your fucking money, now leave me be” you turned around to face him. He grabbed your hair in the same spot again, pulling your head back so you were looking up. “Jesus, what is it with you and the fucking hair?” You growled, taking your heel and stomping it into his foot. He let go with a yelp.

“Fuck” he exclaimed. “Look princess, we’re far from being done” he stated. “Boys!” He yelled. Suddenly a couple men stormed the room, immediately going for you.

“What the fuck” you mumbled to yourself. You slid out of you heels and took a slight deep breath in. “Never done this in a dress before, let’s see how this goes” you muttered, using your shoe to smash some glass figurine on his desk.

You grabbed a large shard and shoved it into one man’s leg. He cried out in pain before falling to the ground. You felt a warm liquid run over your hand but that wasn’t your concern at the moment. Another man grabbed your shoulder. You placed a hand on top of his and whipped around, quickly mustering up most of your strength to flip him into his back, stomping onto his arm. A sickening crack sounded through the room, followed by him yelling in agony.

You fought a few more of them off before you simply became out numbered. Two men carried you out by your arms, and another one held your legs, leaving you powerless at that moment. Out of the corner of your eye you saw Roman slipping on his black mask, and the next thing you saw, was darkness.

*************

You were woken up to a harsh light being shined into you eyes. You scrunched you’re face, trying to pull your head away from the light through your grogginess, you started to realize what was happening. The chains around your wrists and ankles weren’t exactly forgiving as you tied to pull against them.

“What the-“ you muttered quietly, opening your eyes fully as the light went away. You recognized the city line and assumed you were on the roof on his building. “Why the fuck are we on the roof?” You asked, trying once again to pull your feet away from the chair they were chained to.

“You might want to take a look down sweetie” Roman replied. You looked down to see you sitting right on the edge of his near sky scraper height building. “Now, I know that you know I don’t take lying to me very lightly” he started, walking slowly around your chair in a circle. “You didn’t steal that money, and you didn’t use your other option to buy your way out” you crinkled your nose at the mention of that day. He stood behind you, placing his hands on your bare shoulders and giving them a small squeeze. You tried to wiggle around to get him to let go, but he wouldn’t budge. “So now, you’ve got three options. One, tell me where you got the money; Two, my old offer still stands. Sleep with me, and I’ll forget this all happened. Or three, this chair you’re chained to, goes falling down the side of this building” he listed.

“You’re literally old enough to be my dad and the fact that you want to have sex with me so bad is just really fucking creepy” you commented. He growled and grabbed the back of your chair, tilting it forward so you were hanging even more over the edge. “Ok! Ok! I’ll tell you” you stated, leaning all the way back in your chair. He smirked to himself, bringing your chair back down into all four legs. You quietly tried to pull your wrists and ankles from their confines, but the chains were on too tightly.

The only ways out of this were as Sionis listed. You didn’t want to tell him that Jason had wired the money to him, you definitely didn’t want to have sex with him, but you didn’t want to die. Out of the corner of your eye, you noticed a flash of red. You sucked in a deep breath and shut your eyes tightly.

“Option three” you said quietly, tucking your face into your shoulder.

“What was that?” He asked, roughly grabbing the chair.

“I pick option three” you spoke up just a little. He sighed, gripping the back of your chair tightly.

“I’ll see you in hell” he growled before roughly shoving you over the edge.

You screamed loudly, hoping to god that Jason was coming to grab you. The chair hit the side of the building and shattered, leaving you without it but still chained up. Tears streamed down your face quickly, the feeling that you were still falling getting to you.

Finally, you felt someone grab your waist tightly. You let out a relieved breath at the familiar feeling of swinging on a grappling hook. You opened your eyes and looked up slightly to see Red Robin was your savior.

“Tim” you breathed happily. He gave you a small smile while safely landing the two of you on a nearby rooftop. “You have no idea how glad I am to see you” you mumbled, enjoying being on solid ground again. “Speaking of which though, I wasn’t exactly expecting you”

“Yeah, Red Hood called me and Robin for back up as soon as Black Mask walked off alone with you” he explained. “I can get these chains off, but it’s gonna hurt a little. Is that ok?” He asked. You nodded shutting your eyes again as you let Tim free you. “I’ve got your suit too, figured I’d grab it on the way out”

“Thanks, where’s Red Hood and Robin?” You asked, taking the small bag with your things from him. You stepped behind the stairwell entrance and quickly changed.

“Both on the roof where you just were. Hood’s going after Black Mask, and I think Robin’s with his goons” he answered, tucking the gadget he’d used to free you back into his belt securely.

“So I’m a little confused, what exactly is the goal here?” You asked, adjusting you’d hair so it was out of the way while walking back toward Tim.

“I think Hood’s just trying to get Black Mask into custody, but he seemed beyond pissed when he went after him” he replied. A sigh left your lips as you shook your head.

“Ok, you wanna go with Robin and I’ll see if I can catch up with Hood?” You asked, taking an earpiece that Tim held out to you. It was pretty easy to put on, but Tim had to help you turn it on.

“I figured that’s how it was gonna go. Me and Robin will finish up with the muscle and meet up with you and Hood when we’re done” he commented. You nodded slightly, letting Tim grapple the both of you back up onto the roof top you’d just gotten pushed off of.

It was pretty easy to weave through the fighting and slip back down stairs into the building. As soon as you made it back into that horrid office you saw Jason and Sionis in a heated fight. Neither one of them seemed to be letting up on any attacks.

Both men were bleeding from some place on their body, but it didn’t seem to deter them. Jason spotted you out of the corner of his eye, and you wish you could tell what he was thinking by the look on his face. His helmet was in the way from telling, so you just decided to help him out. As good as you and Jason were at fighting with each other, nothing compared to what it was like when you teamed up. Sionis held his own for a minute, but against the both of you there was no way he stood a chance.

Jason ripped Sionis’ mask off of him and tossed it to the side. He got a grip on his hair and lifted him off the ground. He tossed his body against the leg of his desk, making the older man groan in pain. He looked up at Jason with a bloodied face and beaten body, breathing labored from taking all of Jason’s blows.

“It’s over Sionis” Jason declared, standing up y’all as he caught his breath. You stood on Jason’s left side, slightly behind him silently looking over his wounds. “You’re gonna rot in a cell, like you deserve”

“Over? If you think this is over, you’re sorely mistaken” Sionis spat shakily. Before either you or Jason could react, you felt a white hot pain sear through your abdomen and the roaring sound of a gunshot. You fell to ground with a gasp, clutching your gut in agony. Your hand immediately was coated in a thick layer of blood, and the last thing you heard was another gunshot and a cry of your name.

Strictly Business // Jason Todd

Chapter 8 - Run Along Fido

Warnings: Language, Sexual themes

Master List

Stir crazy, is what you believed it was called. Three days had passed and you hadn’t left Wayne manor at all. No runs to the store, no going out to pick up food, not even stepping over the property line. You’d think in a house that large you wouldn’t run out of things to do, especially in a mere three days, but you’d be wrong. That’s how you got in your current situation, practically begging with Jason to go out on patrol. You needed something to do, even if you didn’t actually do any vigilantism.

“(Y/n) I already told you, no. I can’t risk you running off. Plus the last time you promised you’d stay by my side, at Roy’s party, the first thing you did was run off” Jason retorted, rolling his eyes as he shook his head. You scoffed and grabbed his bicep, shaking his arm lightly.

“Jason I swear, I will come back to the manor tonight, I won’t run off forever. I just need to go out to the city. Plus you can go on patrol too, I know you miss it. You can’t just stare longingly at your suit every time we’re in the bat cave and expect me not to notice” you fired back, making him sigh. He turned his head toward you, looking unconvinced. He decided to go against his better judgement and agreed.

“Fine. We can go on patrol tonight, but we still have a while until it’s time, so find something to do until then” he answered making you smile. You cheered in your head before getting up to go find something new to do.

Though the manor had an extensive movie collection, you didn’t want to sit down and watch another movie. Yet, you found yourself in the home theater watching one of your favorites over again. You glanced around the empty room before pulling out your phone.

Y/n: Meet me at our spot, midnight. I need to talk to you

Y/n: It’s urgent

The reply came quickly, letting you know they’d be there. You let out a breath before tucking your phone away in your pocket safely.

***********

You took one last glance over your shoulder as your feet landed softly on the roof of the bank of Gotham. You squatted down to avoid suspicion from passerby’s as you waited. You’d managed to lose Jason a little while ago, but he didn’t seem to be making much effort into catching you. Maybe he did trust that you’d come back?

“Well if it isn’t little miss (Y/n)” the familiar voice you’d been waiting for called out. You stood up, spinning around to see Selina standing there, adorning full Catwoman attire. You let out a breath, a smile coming to your face as you walked toward her. You hugged her tightly for a moment before stepping back. “What’d you need kitten?”

“Advice” you answered. “I think I’m falling in too deep again Selina, and I don’t know if I’m gonna be able to get out”

“(Y/n) what’d I tell you about hiring those goons from the big bosses, they’re unnecessary. If you know what you’re doing, which you do because I trained you, then it should be easy in and out” she commented dismissively, making you shake your head and sigh.

“No, that’s not what I mean Sel” you stated and you watched her eyebrows furrow. After a moment they raised and her arms crossed over her chest. You saw her nose upturn and you knew what was coming next.

“Oh, I see” she said. “You went and got yourself involved with that Todd boy again, didn’t you?” She asked accusingly, making your eyes shift downward toward the ground below you. “(Y/n), those Wayne boys are-“

“Never up to any good, I know” you finished for her. She dropped one arm down to her hip as she stared at you for a moment in thought.

“You know, I always knew that Jason had you wrapped around his finger, but I always figured that one day you’d be able to break away from him” she started, glancing at the claws on her other glove covered hand. Your lips parted, her shift in tone had you taken aback.

“Wha- I’m not wrapped around his finger” you defended, emitting a scoff from her.

“Please, you have been since you were young. Even before you started dating him” she fired back. You furrowed your eyebrows, turning your head to stare at the bustling city scape behind her. “You were always at his beck and call, like a dog a it’s master. The name fox is fitting for you”

“Selina I don’t understand where this is coming from” you stated honestly, shaking your head as you met her gaze again. “I came to your for advice about what to do about-“

“And I’m giving it to you (Y/n). You need to forget about him. Start being your own person and not his pet” she cut you off.

“I’m not his pet! I am my own person” you defended. “I never was his pet, not even when we were together. I was in love with him, and he was in love with me. I wasn’t his pet, and he wasn’t mine” you eyed her up and down judgingly.

“Fine, if you were never wrapped around his little finger, then please, tell me how you’ve found yourself falling in too deep with him again, destining yourself for another heartbreak?” She asked, crossing her arms once again. You opened your mouth to say something back, but stopped.

The whole reason you were with him right now, finding yourself in this mess yet again, was to help him out with one of his missions. You didn’t get any benefit from this at all technically speaking, but Jason did. He’d get Black mask captured just like he’d wanted, and when he didn’t need you any more you’d go back to your usual arrangement. You hated to admit it, but she was right. You found yourself falling for him all over again because you were trying to help him out.

“What’s the matter? Cat got your tongue?” She asked, tilting her head.

“(Y/n)!” Jason’s voice rang out through the night air. You whipped your head around to see him approaching you. You turned back to Selina who looked annoyed.

“Well run along Fido, your master’s calling” she taunted before dissapearing into the city. You stared at the ground lost in thought, running everything she said through your mind. Everything she said made sense, and you felt a pang in your chest at the thought. Had it really been like that all along?

“Are you ok?” Jason asked, placing a hand on your shoulder. You stood up straight, pushing his hand off of you gently.

“Fine” you answered, walking back off in the direction he cane from. “I’m gonna go back to the manor” you mumbled before leaving him all alone.

************

A sigh left Jason’s lips as he stared down the neck of his beer bottle. Ever since you’d gotten back to the manor, you’d holed yourself up in his room and whenever he tried to talk to you he’d only get short answers for responses. He didn’t understand what happened, but he had a feeling it had to do with Selina. He’d saw her across the rooftop from you, and the look on your face after she left pretty much revealed she’d upset you somehow. Though he had a feeling it was her who upset you, he couldn’t help but feel bad as well. With you attitude toward him, it seemed like you were mad at him too.

He took a long swig from the bottle before leaning back in his chair. He took a glance at the staircase, debating whether or not he wanted to go try and talk to you again. Ultimately he decided to give you your space and maybe try later when he goes up to sleep. He got so lost in though didn’t notice Dick walk up and sit in the seat next to him.

“What happened?” He asked, leaning over to bump Jason’s shoulder with his own. Jason glanced over at him before shaking his head.

“Nothing” Jason replied, making Dick frown.

“Come on, you think I don’t notice when my little brother is upset?” He asked, making Jason quirk a brow at him. “And I’ve also noticed (Y/n) conveniently isn’t by your side like normal. So obviously, something happened” Jason let out another sigh, turning to look at Dick. His face held a comforting stare that made Jason break.

“I don’t know what happened. One minute we were fine and out patrol, then she dissapeared. Then I found her with Selina and I started getting short answers and now she won’t leave my bed” he explained the best he could. “And if I try to touch her at all, it’s like she pushes me away. I just don’t get why”

“Trouble in paradise” Dick joked, making Jason give him a slightly annoyed look. “Well obviously, Selina has to have said something that made her upset”

“Well yeah I got that much already Dick” Jason retorted. “And I tried talking to her about it but she doesn’t want to”

“Than don’t make her. But also don’t make her think she can’t talk to you about it either. Let her know if she wants to talk to you she can, then leave her to her space” Dick stated, taking a sip from his own drink. “And don’t drown your sorrows away, for all you know, you didn’t do anything wrong”

“For once you didn’t give me advice that was stupid” Jason chuckled, tipping the neck of his bottle toward Dick before taking a swig. “And I’m not drowning my sorrows, I just like alcohol” he joked, making Dick chuckle with him.

“Look Jay, it’s deep talk time” Dick sighed. “Just a disclaimer before I say this, this isn’t just me just being stupid and shipping you two like normal. I see the way you look at her Jason. You’ve never looked at anyone else like that, not even the girls you’ve dated. I don’t know what history you may have with her or not, but I can see that you love her. And not just a little bit either, a lot. So, I’m gonna do everything in my power to not let you fuck this up. I want you to be happy Jason, and I know you will be with her”

“Even if I wanted her, I can’t have her. It’s my fault too” Jason commented, tapping his fingernails on his bottle. He stared at it intently, a small puff of air leaving his mouth before he spoke. “Dick, did I ever tell you about (Y/n) and I before I died?”

“Um, no you didn’t. What happened?” Dick asked. So Jason sat there and finally explained everything to his clueless older brother. “Wow, ok. So that’s why you two are so close”

“Yep” Jason mumbled. “And I’m stupid, because I fucked myself over in the end” he added.

“You know that agreement thing you have isn’t like legally binding right? You can break that if you want to” Dick pointed out, making Jason shrug.

“I know, I’m just not sure she loves me like that anymore. And honestly? I’m too afraid to risk it if she doesn’t” he admitted, avoiding Dick’s sympathetic gaze. “Well I guess I’ll go take your advice” he sighed, standing up with his bottle in hand. “Uh, thanks Dick” he muttered before walking up the stairs.

“Anytime Jason” Dick replied, a small smile on his face.

************

“(Y/n), are you crying?” Jason’s voice startled you, making you sit up straight. You were sat on the edge of his bed, back facing the door.

“No” you replied quickly. You wiped one of the few tears that had fallen from you eyes off of your face.

“Come on doll, you know I can tell when you’re lying” he sighed, setting his beer down on his nightstand before walking around to sit next to you. “You don’t have to tell me what happened, but it’s easy to see that you’re upset. I just want to tell you that if you want to tell me you can”

“Thanks Jay, but I’d rather not talk about it” you mumbled, avoiding his gaze. He frowned slightly but nodded.

“Ok” he gave you a small smile, patting your knee twice before standing to his feet. “Do you want me to stay or do you wanna be alone?”

“You can stay if you want. It is your room after all” you replied quietly. He nodded and stared at the wall in front of you, where your own eyes were locked.

“So what’s so interesting about this wall?” He asked, a small smirk coming into his face as he swung his head around to look at you. You let out a breath laugh and shrugged.

“Don’t know, there’s just something about it” you answered. “Thinking you should paint it red. Make it an accent wall”

“Really? I mean it wouldn’t be hard to do” he mused, honestly just trying to cheer you up. “You wanna help?”

“As long as you pick a good shade of red” you retorted.

“Psh, of course I will” he fired back, making you laugh lightly. You looked up at him to see a small comforting smile. “You gonna be ok?”

“Yeah. I’ll be fine” you gave him a weak smile, wiping your face clear from leftover tears. “Thanks Jay”

“Of course (Y/n), you know I hate seeing you upset” her replied, standing up and gently pulling you to your feet as well. He wrapped his arms around your shoulders, securely holding you against him. “Is there anything you wanna do that would cheer you up?”

“Like what?” You asked quietly, wrapping your arms around his waist.

“Whatever you want doll. We could watch a movie, play a game, we could go down to the bat cave and you can beat the shit out of something-“ you let out a laugh at the last one, making him smile. “You get to pick. Whatever you want, you can even tell me to fuck off and I’ll go make Damien cuddle up with me”

“Oh god, that would be a disaster” you jested, rolling your eyes as you laughed. “I guess we can watch a movie or something”

“But is that what you want to do?” He asked, raising an eyebrow at you. You sighed and shrugged.

“Can we build a fort and then watch movies in the fort?” You asked, a tinge of hopefulness in your voice.

“Hell fucking yes” he replied, making you smile. Immediately he reached over and yanked his comforter off of his bed, with a little difficulty because you hadn’t let go of him yet. “This one is the blanket we’re using inside the fort because this blanket is amazing” he commented.

“Where are we doing this?” You asked, pulling back from him and tilting your head. He didn’t reply, just grabbed your hand and dragged you and the blanket behind him to the living room. Due to the later hour, everyone was either sleeping or finishing up some things down in the bat cave, so the house itself was relatively quiet.

“Right here” he answered. After an hour and a half of you gathering any blankets and pillows you could find while Jason flipped furnaiture and constructed the fort, you’d built the best blanket fort the world had ever seen. Somehow Jason got it to take up the whole living room, with a clear view of the tv, and a nice cozy pallet on the floor for you two to lay in. Pillows scattered the floor of the fort for maximum comfort, and Jason already had you snuggled down in the makeshift bed. “What about this one? I know it’s your favorite?” He asked, holding up the movie case for you to see. You gave him a small smile and nodded, grabbing handfuls of the blanket over you comfortingly.

He popped it in and came to lay next to you. As soon as he laid down under the blankets, you’d scoffed over to snuggle into his side. He placed his arm around you, pulling you closer to use the area between his chest, shoulder, and armpit as a pillow.

“Thank you Jason” you smiled up at him tiredly before a yawn hit you. You didn’t realize you were this tired until you finally settled down. You leaned up and placed a soft kiss on his cheek before returning to your spot. “Goodnight”

Jason was so thankful you couldn’t see his flushed face as he stated straight ahead. “Goodnight”
