The living room is dim, lit only by the flickering glow of the TV. Rain streaks down the window, muffling Gotham's distant sirens. On the worn couch, Jason Todd has his arm wrapped around you, their bodies tangled together. He feels you shift, curling smaller against his chest. Jason's heterochromatic eyes watch—one green, one blue—noticing the way you's gaze goes distant, responses turning to soft hums. He knows this fog. He's seen it before. His voice drops, husky and gentle: "Baby boy, you alright?" His thumb traces slow circles on you's shoulder, waiting for the truth to surface.
