âHey. Thereâs nowhere I would rather be than right where you need me. You know that,â he says. And you do. Deep down somewhere in your jumbled brain, you knew that. Itâs why you called. Itâs why you always call him first, without hesitation. Wherever you are, he meets you. Wherever you fall, he catches. And youâd do the same for him in the very next breath. His lips meet your temple and your trembling starts to subside.

masterlist
Bzzt. bzzt.Â
Damn it.
Bzzt. bzzt.Â
Heâd just fallen asleep. If this was Dick again so help him-
Bzzt. Bzzt. Bzzzzt.
He snatches the phone off the bedside table, grumbling into the receiver, âWhat?â
Heâd had a hard enough night as it was. His body ached and clicked with every movement, eyes stinging with sleep. Hell, it was barely light outside, who needed his attention this early in the morning?
âJay?â his heart stops when he hears your voice coming through the line. Wet and shaky and barely loud enough to register. But he registers it. He takes the phone off his ear for a split second just to check the caller ID and make sure he wasnât hallucinating. Shit. âSomethingâs wrong.â
âWhatâs wrong, baby?â Heâs already up. Blankets thrown off the side of the bed and a foot shoved back in the pair of jeans heâd just shucked off, phone tucked between his shoulder and his ear. âCâmon. You gotta talk to me. What happened?â
âI donât know,â you hiccup. His heart splinters at the sound, but he doesnât let it show. âThereâs this pain in my chest and Iâm nauseous but every time I try to go to the bathroom to throw up, nothing happens and I-â
âBreathe, sweetheart, okay?â he says. Heâs doing his damndest to try and calm you down, but he feels helpless at this moment. Halfway across the city, he canât do a damned thing to help.Â
âOkay,â you shudder. âI wasnât even crying until you picked up.â
âThatâs okay,â he murmurs. Heâs never wanted to be able to teleport more. âTell me what happened.â
Jason snags his keys off the hook by the door, nearly forgetting to lock the door in his rush out. Heâs impressed he remembered to put shoes on.Â
âYou remember how I told you I felt weird last night?â you ask. He can hear your breathing through the line. Good. Good. At least youâll listen to him at a time like this.Â
âYeah,â he hums, waiting for you to continue. Were you sick? He could handle sick. He could sit around and feed you soup and tuck you under the covers, like a good boyfriend would. This sounded more than just sick, though.Â
âI thought I was just dehydrated or something,â you exhale. âBut Iâm starting to feel worse⌠and the more I think about how bad I feel, the more it feels like I canât breathe.â
Oh, baby. Heâs going to blame his sleep-addled brain for not picking up on it quicker.Â
âYou got that ice pack still?â he asks as he revs his bike into gear just a half-second after heâd thrown his leg over. Heâs running on autopilot. Unable to focus on anything other than getting to you in that exact moment, no matter what it takes. No matter what steps he skips or what small thing he forgets. Helmet. Heâll let you scold him for it later. âPut it on your chest for me, yeah? Like last time. Iâll be there before you know it.â
âStay on the phone,â you say weakly.Â
âI can put you in my pocket, but youâre just gonna hear a lot of wind, sweetheart,â he says, making a mental note to install some sort of software in his regular helmet to transfer calls to.
âThatâs okay,â you say. âJust donât want to be alone.â
âAlright. Sit tight for me, pretty. Focus on your breathing,â he gruffs in a cheap attempt at masking the lump in his throat. He just wants to fix it. Wants you to feel better, and if keeping the call going on his drive would help alleviate some of that panic, then heâd leave the line open.Â
He just about knocks down your door when he reaches your apartment, opting to use the key youâd given him a while ago in favor of not putting any more stress on your shoulders. He plucks the phone from his pocket when he doesnât spot you in your usual spots. Not the kitchen or the couch or your bed.Â
âWhere you hiding?â he asks.Â
âBathroom,â you sniff. You sound a little bit better, at least. Your voice doesnât waiver as much as it had a little while ago and your breathing sounds more even. He only hangs up when he spots you. Back to the tub, ice pack on your chest, over the shirt, hair tied back hastily. He chooses to ignore the tear tracks on your face as he crawls down to sit beside you. When you immediately lean into him, he takes that as enough of a go-ahead to tug you into his lap.Â
âHow you holding up?â he asks as he smooths a hand up and down your spine.Â
âOkay,â you sniff. âThe ice pack helped.â
He nods, letting his lips move across your hairline. âDo you know what happened?â
âMy ex is back in town,â you say, and just like that the warble is back in your tone. Jason shushes you, waiting until the trembling subsides a bit before continuing.Â
âDid you see him?â he asks.Â
âNo. Steph told me she saw him at the supermarket yesterday,â you say and, thankfully, your tone sounds more even. He keeps tracing the knobs in your spine. âAnd I thought I was okay, for the most part, until I woke up this morning⌠which is why I called you. Sorry, by the way.â
âHey, Iâm glad you did,â he adds quietly.Â
ââM sorry, still. I know you got in late from patrol,â your murmur is muffled into the fabric of his t-shirt. Oh, good. Heâd remembered one of those, too.Â
âHey. Thereâs nowhere I would rather be than right where you need me. You know that,â he says. And you do. Deep down somewhere in your jumbled brain, you knew that. Itâs why you called. Itâs why you always call him first, without hesitation. Wherever you are, he meets you. Wherever you fall, he catches. And youâd do the same for him in the very next breath. His lips meet your temple and your trembling starts to subside.Â
âYou need anything, pretty?â he asks.Â
âA bath later, maybe,â you mumble. Your eyes have slipped shut, now.Â
âWe can take a bath,â he hums. âYou wanna just sit here for a little while first?â
He takes your unintelligible grumble as a yes, shifting slightly to make the tile somewhat more comfortable. Alright, he thinks. Heâll meet you here.Â
no matter where it isârestaurants, manor, home, benchesâhe cannot get it right the first time. his back, slightly hunched from months of being chained to that forsaken wheelchair, made him stiff and uncomfortable often times.
and he knows what it does to you.
the subtle lift of his hips, the way his thighs flex as he shifts around to get comfortable. he sees the way you try not to stare, the flush in your skin and the way your pupils dilate almost instantly.
especially in his suit.
the cargo pants that hugged him in all the right places, the stretch of the fabric over this lap and his thighs that spread immediately. heâd hang his arms over his legs, hips shifting downward. heâd press his back flush against the back of whatever he was sitting on, enticing eyes just swirling with amusement as the less-than-discreet glances you were giving him.
jason, at some point, had began to weaponize it in his favor.
if you were upset with him, heâd sit across from you. youâd cross your arms and watch him lift his hips, back sliding against the cushion as his legs spread wide. heâd tilt his head, a quiet invitationâa choice, not a demand.
heâd grin so arrogantly when youâd cave, climbing onto his lap and kissing that stupid smirk off his face. his hands would find your hips, adjusting you to sit directly on him.
âi hate you,â youâd mutter, feeling the way his hips shifted and his thighs flexed beneath you.
Nightmares always make for rude awakenings, but Jason is just down the hall, and he always lets you in.

Nightmares rarely ever came with gentle awakenings, and they were hardly ever kind. This one pulled you out of sleep like it had dumped a bucket of ice water on your body.
When you shot upright, fast enough to make your head spin, and the sheets flew off your body, there were a few awful seconds where you didnât know where you were. The air felt unnaturally heavy, the corners of the room seemed darker than they had been when you fell asleep. Your bedding was twisted uncomfortably around your body, and your heart was racing like it didnât quite understand that it was still in your ribs.
You tried to go through the usual methods. Five things you can see, four things you can feel, on and on. You had done it before, calmed yourself down from bad dreams. Youâd get water, calm your breathing on your own, lay alone in bed making lists of things in your head.
But everything was too quiet. Quite usually would have been welcome, the absences of sirens, and voices, and shouts should have brought some relaxation, some peace. But not this time. You stared at the dark in front of you, like you were waiting for whatever had been chasing you down in your dream to emerge from your imagination.
Your whole body felt tight, the nightmareâs teeth still stuck in your skin like a rabid animal, your skin still felt like static, and your mind seemed to think it was still running away, like you were still in danger, convinced that the usual safety of your room and the familiarity of your bed had suddenly disappeared, and staying here was the wrong choice.
The same thought kept coming back to you, over and over through your attempt to calm yourself. Jason.
Jason was just down the hall, he was real, and he was warm.
The tiles of the floor were cold enough to make you flinch as you made your way towards the door. You were sure of your destination, until your hand hovered just over the doorknob âŚ
The last thing you ever wanted to do was wake him. Jason barely slept as is, he treated it like it was something optional rather than something he needed. Though, he did always tell you that you didnât have to tiptoe around him. And yet you always told him that you still would, and you did.
You eased the bedroom door open. The hallway was dim, lit only by the low golden glow of the nightlight in the bathroom half way down.
The manor had enough halls and wings that it felt like it could swallow you whole in the dark silence. But the part you occupied had a cozy type of comfort that came when a place felt lived-in. A throw blanket over the banister, a framed photo propped up on a small side table that you hadnât put there, but guessed it was probably Jason. There was a pair of shoes left by the door where you had kicked them off like you belonged here. Which you sort of did by now. Belonging in the weird, bruise tender way that belonging worked in a family and home rooted in vigilantism.
You kept your breath steady as you made your way towards his room, trying your best to keep your steps soft, but the floorboards still groaned under you like the house had a story it wanted you to hear.
When you reached Jasonâs closed door you hesitated again.
Staying in separate rooms had started out as just what felt the most practical. It made sense at the time, you moved in slowly. Staying a few nights here and there, bringing things only as you needed, until eventually you just stopped going home. You still had your own routines, your own stuff, your own life. And Jason had his ⌠Well, everything.
Between the nights he came home late, bruised and quiet in a way that was heavy instead of calm, not wanting to drag his grief through your door, and the nights you had deadlines or early mornings, when he couldnât stomach the thought of his insomnia becoming yours by association, it had just become comfortable.
The space never felt cold or distant, it was just two people who chose each other, but also chose to continue to live in their own spaces. There were nights you would fall asleep together, where youâd wake up with your back pressed against him, spine curved against his chest like a puzzle piece, his arms wrapped around you in a way that made you think, still hazy from sleep, This. This is it. This is what the world was meant to be.
Right now, you just wanted him. You wanted the way he was warm, and solid, and always smelled like something safe and familiar â even if the smell wasnât always exactly pleasant. You wanted the way that he was real, the fact that he breathed and moved and lived.
You knocked once, quieter than you had planned. Nothing. You knocked again, forcing yourself to be just a little louder this time. âJay ?â
It was followed by silence again, before you heard a quiet rustle, and then his voice, low and rough, still scratchy. âYeah ?â
âCan I come in ?â
The pause that followed was shorter than before, like he was processing what you said through the fog sleep had left in his head. âAlways.â
You pushed the door open with a creak that sounded too loud in the quiet space. Jasonâs room was darker than the hall, the pale glow of the bathroomâs nightlight didnât quite reach his end of the hall. Dark curtains were drawn over the window, the glow of the city spilling in through the gaps. Jason was a shape in the middle of his bed, half sat up propped on his elbows, hair sticking up in the back where his head had been against the pillows. His eyes were still heavy, but when they adjusted to the space of you standing in his doorway his posture shifted into something more alert.
âYou okay ?â He asked. He already knew the answer, he could read your body language like it was a book heâd already memorized. When you didnât answer with anything other than a noise that sounded like a choked, forced laugh, he shifted again sitting himself a bit more upright. âNightmare ?â
All you could do was nod your head, your throat felt too tight to trust yourself to speak, and you felt the backs of your eyes starting to burn. Which was a rude way for your body and mind to react. You cried a lot, something you were trying to work on âfixingâ. Jason always said it didnât need fixing, but you never fully believed him.
Jason didnât need any other answer from you, he moved to the side, gesturing to the newly emptied space beside him. âCâmonâ
You hesitated in the doorway, like you were still waiting for permission, a sign that you were allowed to join him.
A sign Jason gave you, as clear as day: âYouâre allowed to be in here. Itâs your space too.â
You still didnât move. âI can ⌠stay in your bed tonight ?â
Jason paused at your question, brows raised before his expression softened in a way that would have made your tummy do flips had you been able to see it clearly. âOf course you can. Come here.â
Finally you moved to cross his room, closing the door quietly behind you, casting the room in darkness again. When you climbed into his bed, you were careful to take up as little space as possible. Jason pulled you against him with a lazy, gentle tug. It was immediate, like muscle memory.
âWanna talk about it ?â He asked after a few moments of silence
You shook your head, letting your eyes flutter shut for just a moment. âI donât think I even remember itâ You admitted, a bit embarrassed by the fact âJust that it was scary.â
Jason let out a hum of acknowledgement, giving a small nod. âThatâs okay.â He assured you, âI get that sometimes too.â
You werenât surprised when he didnât push any further, he had always had an immense level of respect for things best left in the dark. He knew that sometimes, the best way to deal with scary things was to just not give them the time to be scary. The quiet between you stretched, your attention turning to the sound of his heartbeat, and the feeling of his chest rising and falling with each breath he took.
He was so warm, your cheek pressed against his bare chest, arm draped over him as his fingertips traced up and down your arm, tracing the curve of it in slow, barely there strokes. His fingertips lingered over the rougher patches of skin, light over the scabs and red marks that were still angry.
âYouâve been pickinâ againâ It wasnât really a question
âOnly a little.â You mumbled back
Jason nodded, even though he knew â could feel â that it wasnât only a little. But he didnât press, didnât lecture.
âWeâll see about a bath tomorrowâ He said instead âSee if Alfred has that oat mix that helped last time, yeah ?â
âYou donât have things keeping you busy ?â You asked
Jason shrugged, shifting to press his lips against your forehead âNothing that canât wait until later in the day.â He muttered against your skin
Warm he thought
âOh ⌠I think that would be nice thenâ
Jasonâs fingers moved from your arm to brush over your hair, gently scratching against your scalp, the spots he knew you liked the best. His offer, the care behind it, had brought you some comfort. Your heart slowly calmed, but the bitter taste of fear still felt heavy on you. Your heart had settled, but your mind still refused.
Jason seemed to feel it too, his chin rested on top of your head, you fit into the curve of his neck like you were made to be there. âWant me to try and distract you ?â
âDistract me ?â
âYep. The tried and tested tactic.â You could hear the smile in his voice âGet you bored enough to go back to sleep.â
You hummed a little laugh, âYouâre hardly boring.â
âSweet talkerâ he replied, pulling his head back from yours to smooth the hair away from your face. He ran his thumb across the cheek, pushing away the moisture under your eye. Maybe youâd been crying in your sleep, maybe youâd been crying since you got into his room. He didnât comment on it. âLetâs see ⌠If you had to pick an animal to be your sidekick forever, which would you pick ?â
Your mouth opened and closed a few times âThatâs your topic ? I thought the goal was to bore me to sleep ?â
Jason shrugged, âItâs an icebreaker. Gotta work my way up to boring.â
âOkay, okay. That makes senseâ You played along âThen ⌠I think Iâd pick a goose.â
A puff of air that might have been a laugh escaped Jason's nose âA goose ?â He repeated âWhy a goose ?â
âBecause theyâre scaryâ You answered, like it was obvious âAnd their teeth are sharp.â
Jason made a sound of approval, âYou know what ? Youâre right about them being scary. Yâknow, I was chased by one before.â
âYou were ?â
âYepâ He made sure to make a solid pop sound on the âpâ, just for emphasis âBruce took me and Dick to the park, one of âem chased me around for almost a mile. And Dick ? He just laughed at me. Some big brother, huh ?â
The story may or may not have been true, but the giggle it pulled from you was enough for him. You felt him shift in the bed next to you, his arms loosened around you moments before you heard a quiet click in the dark. The dim lamp on his bedside table flickered on, casting a soft, cool light across the room.
You could see him clearly now. The messy hair falling against his forehead, the faint, scratchy stubble along his jaw and chin, that soft crease between his brows that youâve become so familiar with, the one that never goes away even when he lets himself relax.
His arm curled around you, pulling your body back against his. His thumb traced the curve of your cheek, his eyes gentle as he looked at you like you were something precious that he chose, something that he would keep choosing, again and again.
âHow ya feelinâ ?â He whispered
You checked in with yourself. Your chest felt looser, your fingers didnât tremble against his chest anymore. Your dream was still there, the fear and anxiety still lingering like a stubborn cold. But it felt lighter than it had before.
âA little better âŚâ You answered, âStill a bit on edge, but better.â
There was a pause, just for a moment before you asked, âDo you want me to go back to my room ?â
You felt his arms tighten around you immediately, âNo.â He answered, a little too quickly. Before he shrugged, like he was trying to play it cool. âNo. You can stay.â
He pulled you closer to him, âI like you here, you silly girlâ His hand came up, gently pinching the tip of your nose, just to see it scrunch up in that cute way it always did. âYou silly gooseâ
âHonk Honkâ You grinned
His lips pressed against your forehead again, slow and sweet in a way that made your cheeks feel embarrassingly warm.
âYou wanna tell me what youâve been up to lately ?â He asked, like he knew your brain wasnât quite ready to sleep yet. âAnything interesting happening in your world ? Feels like itâs been forever since Iâve heard from you.â
He had a point. Every now and then, the world seems to work against the two of you. Your schedules would never align, and it felt like the two of you were just two ships passing in the night. Always close, but never quite able to reach. Always just barely missing one another, always showing up right as the other left.
It was a cruel trick the world liked to play Jason always thought. And he hated it.
âWell, I had tea with Bruce the other day.â You answered
âOh yeah ?â Jason asked, turning his head down to look at you, like you were the most interesting thing in the entire world. âHow was that ?â
âIt was nice âŚâ You whispered, âCanât believe I caught him having down time.â
âYeah. That is surprising. You sure it was him ?â
His poor joke drew a small laugh from you, making something like pride bubble in his chest.
âYes. Iâm sure it was him.â You answered with a playful eyeroll. âHe asked me how my classes were going ââ
It was always strange, in a refreshing way, to talk to Bruce. Someone who, no matter what else was going on, he always cared about the little things.
âHe knows a lot about socialization.â You continued, âMore than I expected him to, really.â
Jason gave a small, agreeable nod âI bet he does, I imagine heâs seen quite a bit of it ⌠You talk about anything else ?â
âNot much,â You answered with a little shrug âHe did say he was happy I stopped calling him Mister Wayne though.â
Jason scoffed at that, âYeah. I think everyone is. That was weird for all of us.â
You gasped in mock offence, âWell â It was weird for me to call the guy by his first name. I mean, heâs letting me live in his mansion when he has zero obligation to.â
Jason waved his hand in the air, like he was swatting away an annoying bug. âOh please, the old man would let anyone with puppy dog eyes live here. And you â you precious girl ââ He pinched your chin gently between his fingertips â â have just about the best puppy dog eyes this world has ever seen.â
âAnd you â Jason Peter Todd â are absolutely impossible.â
âAnd you love meâ He countered
âYeah âŚâ You agreed softly, âMore than anything.â
He leaned down, pressing a kiss against your nose, before his lips brushed against yours in a kiss that was so tender it made your heart ache.
âAnd I love youâ He whispered against your mouth
The moment lingered, the feeling of his lips still barely against yours, close enough to feel warm, and count his lashes. The quiet was broken by a little sniffle, the warmth made the anxiety biting at you feel further away. Being near him made you feel a little more brave.
âIâm sorry âŚâ You mumbled, âI just didnât think I could be alone after âŚâ
âYou donât have to be. You never have to be.â
His words landed like a blanket, making the tension between your shoulders finally ease. He kissed your temple, lingering as he took in a few deep breaths.
âSleepy yet ?â He asked as he pulled back
You shook your head, âNot really ⌠But I feel betterâ
âGood. Good. Thatâs good progress.â
You tucked yourself against him again, wiggling closer into the familiarity of him. âWhat ⌠What have you been reading lately ?â You asked, realizing your brain wasnât quite ready to quiet itself just yet.
Jasonâs expression flashed to surprise, before shifting into something almost shy âYou wanna know what Iâve been reading ?â He repeated, like he wasnât exactly sure he had heard you right.
âYeah.â You answered softly, âYouâre always reading something, between everything else. I think itâs nice to find time for stuff like that ⌠I like that you have something that makes the world feel kinder to you.â
Jasonâs eyes darted away, like your words had hit a sensitive spot by accident. He cleared his throat before reaching towards the nightstand, and you watched as he picked a hardcover and held it up in the lampâs light for you to see. The dustjacket had been removed, the bookâs binding frayed in the corners and along the spine, exposing the fibers of the paperboard beneath it. But the title was still clearly printed on the front.
âPride and Prejudice,â He said.
Your head tilted to the side, like a small, curious animal âHavenât you already read it though ?â The question was genuine, not meant to poke fun, or ridicule him. Youâd always found it sweet the way he liked to read, the way he gravitated towards the classics. There was something that felt so admirably human about it, about the way he appreciated the time, the story, the worlds that were so carefully handcrafted.
You loved it about him, one of the many reasons on your evergrowing list.
âI haveâ He answered, âBut itâs still a good book, that doesnât change just because I already know the story. Plus, itâs familiar. I can turn my brain off and still enjoy it.â
His thumb ran over the edges of the book as he spoke, âYou want me to read to you ?â He offered, seemingly out of the blue âI should be just starting a new chapter, not too far in. You havenât missed much.â
Your brows furrowed. In all the time you knew him, Jason had never offered to read to you. âYouâd do that ?â
He nodded, âWouldnât have offered if I wouldnâtâ
That was true, he had never been one to throw around empty promises or hollow words. At least he never had with you.
âOkay ⌠Yeah. I think â I think I would like thatâ You answered, your voice small.
He shifted again, propping the pillows up behind him so he could sit against the headboard, making a space for you to lean comfortably against him. You had been intimate with Jason before, but this made your heart race in an entirely new way â pressed against his side, head rested in his lap while he had one hand rested on top of your head while the other held the book open.
It was far from the closest youâve been to him, but this felt like something special.
Jason cleared his throat, and began reading.
His voice was soothing, low and steady as he read. He read like he knew the story by heart, like he understood all the subtle humor, like he was part of the lives that lived between the pages. You let your eyes close, your breaths evening out as you listened to the story and the sound of pages turning.
You spoke after a few minutes, âSo ⌠What exactly is the prejudice ?â
Jason pressed his thumb against the page he was on, turning his attention back to you. âItâs a few things.â He answered âMostly itâs Elizabeth and Darcy. Elizabeth judges Darcy based on rumors, doesnât get to know him. And Darcy thinks Elizabeth is beneath him because her family is a lower class than his.â
Your brows furrowed, confused, âBut her fatherâs a gentleman, isnât he ?â
âHe isâ Jason nodded, his explanations didnât come with any air of superiority. He answered like he welcomed your questions, like heâd been waiting to tell you. âBut theyâre on the lower end of the upper class, she doesnât have the connections or significant wealth.â
You nodded with a hum of understanding. âThat makes sense ⌠So do you like him ? Darcy, I meanâ
Jason shrugged, leaning his head back against the headboard, looking up at the ceiling as if deep in thought. âI guess so.â He finally decided âI respect him. I like that, eventually, heâs man enough to admit when heâs wrong. He put in the work, showed up when he needed to. Not to spoil the story, but eventually he reflects, and lets himself grow. I appreciate that.â
He paused, before adding âBut my favorite ? Is Elizabeth.â
Your head raised from his lap, just enough to meet his eyes. âElizabeth ?â You repeated, for some reason the information had surprised you âHow come ?â
âThink sheâs one of the strongest characters in the whole story.â He answered, he didnât even have to think about it. âSheâs witty, sticks to her morals. She can hold her ground, and call people out on their bullshit. And sheâs loyal â to herself and the people she cares about.â
âHuh âŚâ That really did make sense, for Jason to enjoy a character like that.
âLately though, Iâve been liking her more than usual.â He went on, drawing your attention back to him. âShe reminds me of you.â
âOf me ?â
âYep.â
âDoes that make you Mr. Darcy ?â You asked, a little giggle in your voice as you imagine Jason as a high class gentleman in a too fancy suit using too fancy words.
But the more you thought about it, the more it made sense. The strong internal code, the brooding arrogance that only thinly veiled how much is truly cared. The touch exterior, like the shell of an animal, evolved to protect itself above all else.
Your thoughts were interrupted by a sharp scoff from Jason, âOh, please. I am way cooler than Darcy.â His chest shook gently with a low chuckle, âBut, if youâre Elizabeth, I suppose I could be Darcy ... Just for you though.â
You smiled softly, relaxing back against his lap as it felt like finally the last of the nightmare had let go of you. Jason continued reading, and you let your eyes close once more.
At some point, you spoke up again, barely audible over the growing sleep in your voice âHow come yâ were awake so fast when I knocked ?â
âBecause it was you.â He answered, without pausing to consider it
You felt your throat tighten again, not trusting yourself to not cry again to risk opening your eyes again. Jason continued reading, pages turning with careful touches. Your mind drifted into the depth of the story.
The nightmare tried to come back, tried to wrap its fingers around your throat again, but it found nothing there but Jason, his comfort and his voice, a steady security that fear couldnât get through. Your fingers curled loosely around his side, snuggling in just a little closer to him. Jason didnât comment, only continued to read, his voice steady and gentle, his free hand mindlessly pushing stray hairs from your eyes.
You could only form half-baked, sluggish thoughts as his voice lulled you closer to sleep.
This, you thought, was why the separate rooms never mattered. Because the space was never something that couldnât be crossed, it was only ever there when it was needed. And when it wasnât, you were always welcome here, where you fit in like a missing piece.
âYou read nice âŚâ You mumbled, before the night could fully take you.
âYeah ?â He almost cooed, setting the book back down on the bedside table. âGood enough for you to go to sleep ?â
You nodded, slow and tired, barely registering when Jason moved to flick the light off, and position himself to lay next to you again. He kept himself propped up on an elbow, the other returning to the steady, familiar motion along your arm.
You donât remember the last thing you felt or heard before you pulled you somewhere dark. Though this time it didnât feel so scary. When the night took you this time, it felt like warmth, like safety. Like home.
summary: for some reason, every one in ron's family has been trying to steal his girl, so he has to fight for a moment of privacy with you
wc: 0.9k+
Itâs been too long since Ron has seen you, and yet the instant Ginny decides sheâs done with you Mrs. Weasley snatches you into the kitchen. Standing silently as witness to these actions, Ron lets his shoulders slump disappointedly. Heâs almost given up in his search of private time with you, because in the two weeks youâve been at the burrow, you and your boyfriend have had a total of maybe twenty minutes alone â not nearly enough for him to show off his love for you. Now, he tries not to whine and stomp his feet loudly like a child, but gosh does he miss you.
âMeans she likes her, you know?â Offers Bill as comfort when he sees his youngest brotherâs despair. âI know she likes her,â Ron snaps, eyes on Bill. âMum wouldnât let a woman she doesnât like set foot in her house, let alone her kitchen.â Ron exhales deeply whilst Bill stands in a stunned silence, watching you bond with their mother through the kitchenâs doorway.
You glance back quickly, smiling softly at your boyfriend, who tilts his head at you with a loving smile. Ron loves that youâre getting along well with his family, especially those of whom you hadnât met at Hogwarts, but he doesnât love that theyâve been hogging you. Fred and George had taken the liberty of reintroducing themselves to you as though you didnât already know them enough, but your unbothered nature had even lured in Charlie and Bill who were so used to their youngest brother stressing over the twins.
Molly handed you an apron and carried over a bowl of dough that had been chilling in the fridge. She spoke quietly to you, head ducked down next to yours, and Ron sighed, moving over to the couch and collapsing onto it, crossing his arms over his chest. He shimmied in the armchair until it faced the kitchen head on. Ron was adamant; he wouldnât move from this spot until you stepped foot out of the kitchen and from then, you would be his. And once youâre in his arms, he wonât let go.
Seriously.
But then Harry steps into the living room, asking âGame of Quidditch?â and Ron has lost his mission. He nods, standing up and making his way towards the backyard, completely forgetting the fact that he had just showered to be all nice and fresh for you. But just as he steps foot outside, a confused call of his name has his head snapping back. He grins at the sight of you, immediately rushing back through the open door towards you and wrapping his arms around you.
Heâs ready to ditch all his plans for a few hours of privacy with you, but after welcoming him with a short kiss, youâre already pulling away from him, hands trailing up and down his chest. âAre you still taking me to the treehouse tonight?â You ask, and Ron nods, pulling you closer again.
âSo do I have time to help Ginny find an outfit?â Ron groans, head dropping into the crook of your neck. His arms tighten around your waist, pressing your front flush against his. âNo.â He whines, less as an answer to your question and more as an opinion. You cup Ronâs cheeks, lifting his face up and pressing your lips to his slowly. He moans quietly into the kiss, eyelashes tickling your cheeks as they flutter shut. His arms unravel from around your waist so his fingers can grip softly at your hips, and he tries deepening the kiss despite the fact that youâre both stood in the middle of the living room.
âIâve just realised that I havenât actually seen them together yet.â You hear Charlieâs nearby voice, a teasing lilt to it. Ron groans, grumbling âShut upâ against your lips when Bill adds âYeah, looks like theyâll be glued together for a while.â
You break apart from your boyfriend, smiling when his eyes flutter open only for his gaze to drop back down to your lips. Ignoring your boyfriendâs eldest brothers, you mumble âIâm going to go help Ginny now, okay?â
Ron nods, hands never leaving your waist, and he follows you up the stairs towards his sisterâs bedroom. âRon?â You inquire, smiling to yourself when he stays by your side even when youâre stood in front of her door. âSheâll only steal you again and then youâll go missing for another two weeks.â He complains quietly, running his hands up your sides, dipping his head down to press a kiss to the side of your neck.
âTen minutes, alright? Then Iâm all yours.â You promise, turning around to kiss him deeply. âAnd more of that to come, yeah?â Ron nods eagerly at your words, and runs along to his room to collect the bottle of wine heâd hidden for this exact occasion. And surely, once those ten minutes are up, Ginny has an outfit at the ready and Ron has one of your hands intertwined with his, leading you outside to his treehouse. And though his siblings all joke around plotting to each other how theyâll steal you away from their brother, they all leave the two of you alone for the night.
Itâs the least they could do, especially considering all the teasing theyâll throw at you both in the morning when love bites will inevitably litter your skin, and cries from the passionate night youâd had will still echo within the burrowâs walls.
