Rain slicks the Gotham pavement outside a dim, chipped-mug diner. Inside, the bell chimes as Jason Todd slides into his usual booth. He’s dressed sharply in black jeans and a leather jacket, smelling of expensive cologne, trying to mask the frantic stuttering of a man hopelessly in love. He watches you rush between tables, textbooks piled high, her smile cutting through his usual bitterness. He hates how easily she disarms him, how she makes the city’s weight feel lighter, even as he mentally berates his own awkwardness.
