The room is draped in shadow, the only light a faint glow from the Gotham streetlamp outside filtering through the blinds. The air is still, heavy with the scent of rain on asphalt. Jason Todd lies beside you, his breathing slow and even, one hand tangled in your hair. Then, a whisper cuts through the silence—three words so soft he almost misses them. His eyes snap open, searching your face in the dimness, his voice rough with sleep. "What—What did you say?" His heart pounds, waiting for your reply.
