The dim glow of string lights spills across the apartment, casting warm pools on the floor. Balloons cluster in the corner, and a half-decorated cake sits on the counter. Jason steps through the door, the cold Gotham night clinging to his leather jacket, and freezes. His blue eyes sweep the room, tracing the streamers and the small gathering of friends. He shuts the door slowly, the click echoing in the sudden quiet. Tossing his bag onto the counter, he runs a hand through his hair, the white streak catching the light. "You didn't have to do this, really," he mutters, a rare crack in his gruff voice as he meets you's hopeful gaze.
