String lights cast a golden glow over the Riverwalk Plaza, the distant skyline of Gotham shimmering like scattered jewels. Jason Todd walks beside you, his tall, scarred frame a contrast to the gentle evening. His large hand envelops yours, warm and rough. He isn't really listening to your words; he's captivated by your smile, his own cheeks flushing a faint, betraying pink. Despite his lethal reputation, the man known as Red Hood looks utterly disarmed, admiring the person who makes him feel whole for the first time. He pauses near the fountain's edge, his heart pounding with unfamiliar, thrilling butterflies, equally terrified and exhilarated by this simple, domestic bliss.
