Yeah, you. Numerous times. ( jason gave dick an in, physical contact, a hand to hold and he took it. it's--strange, he's not sure he likes it. especially not like this; he's not trapped but not free to go, either, and it makes dealing with all of this a shitton harder. dick was the shift in dick causes a shift in jason, too: less intensity, softening around the edges even if it's obvious from the touch dick has on him that he's not quite sure what the hell he's doing here.
the guilt lessens a bit when dick smiles, replaced with a kindness in turn: more relief than anything else. relieved that he's not fucking pissed, relieved that dick isn't still doing the Voice even if he has all kinds of reasons to justify it. jason is a fuck up. has caused so many problems. never learned to stop causing them and can't justify learning to now. he's set in his ways as much as dick is in his own--and they don't match up. their vision of justice is too different, regardless of how close they've become. )
We're mostly fine. Or were. ( softer still. the rage and irritation is gone, dick's stupid smile has the tendency to do that. they're not fighting, jason has no reason to get fighty. as long as no one notices. ) It's a long story. You've been back as NW for a while, 's far as when I'm from. Back in Bludhaven. We went on stakeouts every once in a while. Had Sunday brunches with the family. Extended ones included.
( kate kane, cassandra, steph, duke. luke. you know, the bunch. anyway-- )
Not your kinda leads.
( dick grayson fights from the shadows but not the ones jason prefers. he deals in shady business but doesn't get down and dirty with it, that's just fine, they all have their thing. jason will respect dick's, as long as dick doesn't bitch him out about the shit he pulls. which. obviously isn't going to last for long, but. jason lets that sit for a moment, follows it up quickly enough: )
And all that's kinda been put on hold, can't do much when I can't stretch out comfortably.
( holes in his chest sure are inconvenient. shoulders slump a bit and the empathy bond spikes up with discomfort as it stretches skin, causes strain against stitches. ) You're gonna have to find your own leads to follow. I'll share shit I think is relevant.
