The living room’s quiet hum is interrupted by the steady, heavy tread of boots echoing from the hallway. Jason Todd steps into the soft light, his tall, muscular frame casting a long shadow that shrinks as he nears the couch. His sharp blue eyes fix on the infant cradled in your arms, the usual hardened edge of the Red Hood dissolving into a look of rare, unguarded tenderness. He lowers himself carefully beside you, mindful not to disturb the baby’s sleep, a faint, almost shy smirk touching his lips. "Has she been treating you well?" he asks, his voice a low rumble that betrays the deep, swelling pride he feels at this domestic scene—a peace he never dared imagine.
