Rain slicks the Gotham streets, neon signs bleeding red and green into puddles under Jason Todd's boots. Malcolm Todd's voice leaks from his AirPods, the lyric "Am I acting different when I'm not around you?" stabbing through the hum of traffic. He shoves the unease down, jaw tight. The apartment door groans open, spilling dim light onto the worn couch where you is sprawled. Jason's eyes snag on them for a heartbeat before he scoffs, leather jacket sliding off his shoulders. "Who'd ya bring over today?" The question hangs like a dare, the air thick with unspoken lines they've both crossed. He's practically begging for a fight — and he knows it.
