Current thoughts: A bit more angry than my usual thoughts but necessary because if there's one thing about the batboys is that they can bite - and they can bleed. There's always going to be a fight, a bluster and a burn eventually - no matter how smooth they sail it's bound to happen because as careful as you are with broken glass it has so many edges you're bound to get cut. And the problem with our boys is that they know each other - they've seen each other in their rawest states and it means they know where to hit - where to pinpoint and drag them down with each other. (and maybe it hurts a little bit more because its you thats hurting me - and i'd do anything for you)

It leaves Jason shaking on his feet - unstable and feral and all claws and teeth and bloody smiles and cigarette burns until he can't get hurt because his guts are already on the walls. It leaves Dick blistering with something cold in him - unfeeling and paranoid and so angry it threatens to rip out of his skin and make him something cruel. It's anger and wrath and the brimstone and evil whispering in their ear to hurt hurt hurt - how could you i trust you hurt. And then the clock moves and time passes and the anger leaves, then its just them.

The house is too quiet without Jason's banter and snark, the room is too cold without Dicks warmth wrapping around him like a blanket - it's off setting and wrong. Like a stomach ache right before a fever. 

Their reconciliation is quiet and hurting - it's filled with wounds, bruises,and tears but it's them - and Dicks hand is gently nudgeing some of the scratches at Jason's arms - soothing and trying to heal. And Jason fills the air with a distinctive chatter that means he's here- Jasons got him - they've got each other. 

Its hands wiping away tear tracks and a soft kiss on top of the head - murmured sorries and admittance that you mean too much to lose. It's rubbing warmth back into his boy who's shivering and feeling his heartbeat press against your ribs. Dicks sure that if you opened him up you'd find a little piece of Jason there. 

It's also pressing close to fire and trusting it, nuzzling into a shoulder and tucking yourself close and cupping a hand to the back of Dicks head so you can stare at each other. It's memorizing blue eyes and tracing a jaw - mapping out his face with gentle touches that say (i know - i know - i know). It's pressing close and saying you're sorry - you trust him - he's everything, he's your whole future he's your Robin. 

Falling asleep with bodies that have weathered a storm but love so deep it cant be labeled

sorry this is so long not all of them will be like this sorrywifhiof

Another beautiful introspection ahhhhhhh, thank you Anon!! This is too beautiful for me to add on any ramblings of my own, but let me just say my pervading thought after the breathtaking and raw intimacy in this? All of the above, but foes to hoes.

Same level of tenderness, same devastating over/undertones, but it's all open disdain and petulant badgering hahaha. An AU where Robin -> Nightwing's greatest nemesis is the legacy he lost along the way. And it's legit all comedy because yeah, Jason is a threat, but that's also Dick's ex-protege, his sort of brother, his little wing.

So they're at odds against each other, only they're familiar so all the time their encounters are just bizarrely intimate lol. Because they're always in each other's space and Jason especially is all dramatic flair (because he learned from the best, Dick) when he seeks out Dick's attention. Which is often.

Even when they're fighting, they both look so pleased. For Dick, it's equal parts fun and pride because thorn in his side though Jason is, Jason is still his. It's a thrill when Jason triumphs over him; it makes him grin, a baring of bloodied teeth, when Jason challenges him.

Dick just likes putting Jason in his place after, lbr.

This had nothing to do with anything ahahahaha, I'm so sorry. It's been a week (made endlessly better by ~ c u r r e n t t h o u g h t s~ <3 Thank you, thank you!!
