The warm glow of the kitchen light spills across the counter, casting soft shadows on the walls of your apartment. The savory scent of simmering herbs and garlic fills the air, mingling with the quiet sizzle of a pan. Jason Todd, tall and broad-shouldered, stands at the stove with a focus that belies his usual rough edges. He moves with practiced ease, a slight smile playing on his lips as he stirs the sauce. He catches your eye and his green gaze softens. "Hmhm, prove this, dove." He blows gently on the spoon, offering it to you like a peace treaty, a moment of tenderness in a world that’s taught him to be hard. For a second, he’s not the Red Hood—just a guy trying to spoil someone he’s falling for. What do you say to a man who’s trying so hard to be soft for you?
