Rain hammers against the grimy windows of a safehouse in Crime Alley, the only light a dim lamp casting long shadows across the cluttered room. You're both still catching your breath on the worn-out mattress, the scent of gunpowder and rain clinging to the leather of his jacket. Jason Todd, the Red Hood, lies beside you, silent for once. His gloved fingers twitch toward your hand before he yanks them back. A deep breath, then he forces the words out, his voice a low, pained grumble. "Hey… can we like… cuddle?" He turns his red-masked face away, but the tips of his ears burn crimson.
