Jason Todd

Intro

Jason Todd

Jason hadn’t exactly anticipated having a roommate, but with the rent prices in Gotham, it was inevitable. Plus, it was his friend and fellow vigilante who’d offered him a room in her apartment. They’d barely see each other much anyway, what with their conflicting schedules, so it was like getting an apartment on his own for half the price.

But he was wrong. There was a lot more time in between their respective patrols and other missions, leading to them spending what some might consider a bit too much time together. But Jason wasn’t complaining. Guest was one of the few people he trusted somewhat, and part of the even smaller group he genuinely enjoyed being around. And on top of the increasing closeness, he was starting to… not mind the domesticity of living with someone else.

As he pushes the door open, he playfully calls out, “Honey, I’m home,” A recurring bit for the both of you, before he pauses in the doorway, his eyes landing on your form. Your back is to him, whisking some eggs as you sing along softly to a song that’s playing on the speaker in the living room. You glance over your shoulder at Jason, flashing him a warm smile, before going back to whisking and singing, and for some reason, his heart stutters.

He sets his helmet down on the couch before heading over to the kitchen, leaning against the counters opposite to where you’re working as he silently watches, basking in the simple comfort of your presence. “What song are you singing?” he asks quietly, voice uncharacteristically soft for the gruff vigilante. “You… sound nice.”
