Fluff, Jason Todd x reader, Jason Todd x you, GN, no use of Y/n, reader has no confirmed gender, Jason says ‘I love you’, soft Jason.
It was one of those days where Jason had came home earlier than intended while out.
You absolutely took advantage of it. While you do spend your time with him during the day, you hardly get to actually sit down and watch a movie with him.
Which is what you’re doing right now. Jason had texted you that he was on his way and you jumped to get started. The living now looked like a what a child would call a blanket fort.
You had decided you wouldn’t use the TV, but instead, you would use your laptop. You smoothed out the fluffy blanket you placed on the floor, fluffing the pillows, and making sure the covers were in place.
You paused. Should you get takeout? Or just cook something quick and easy. Takeout is the invisible choice, Jason doesn’t take long to get back. If you listened close enough, you could hear the faint rev of his motorcycle somewhere in the distance.
Shaking your head, you rushed to put popcorn in the microwave. Then you moved to the bathroom for face masks, and a bottle of red nail polish. Just in case.
You had been begging Jason to let you paint his nails for weeks. Maybe, just maybe, he’ll let you do it this time.
You were at the door as soon as it opened. “Hi Jay!” You exclaimed, engulfing him in a hug. He wrapped an arm around hour waist. “Hey, Baby.” He placed a kiss on your head.
“I’m happy you’re home early. I have the entire night planned! We’re gonna watch a movie-“ you ranted about what you had planned. Jason watched you with soft eyes and a smiled. His eyes following your pacing form. He nodded his head with everything you said, intently listening.
“And are you finally going to let me paint your nails?” Jason deadpanned. “You’re still on that?” You nodded vigorously.
Eventually, he relented, he couldn’t resist you for long.
That’s how he found himself in a hydrating face mask laying down in a fort watching a movie with freshly painted red nails.
“I can’t believe i let you talk me into this.” He complained with no real annoyance. Anything to make you happy. “I’ve faced threats. Bombs. And even death at one point in my life and i have to say this is by far the worst of them all.” He joked.
You giggled beside him. “You love it!” You kissed the scar on his shoulder. “Stop denying it.” You could see his faint smile. “Mhm, you’re right.” He played with your hair. “You’re absolutely right. I love doing this stuff with you.” He whispered into your hair.
“It reminds me of what i’m fighting for.” You grinned. “I love you.” Jason chuckled. “I love you.” He said back. A fee months ago he couldn’t even bring himself to say those words.
The fear of a person not saying it back. The fear of someone leaving him again. The fear of pushing too far.
But now, he can say it with his chest. He’s thankful he has you in his life.
Made some fanart of @seriouslycalamitous profile pic, I’m no artist but I really love there work and wanted to show that I admire them and there hardwork. :)
We were made to wonder, to thrive, to love even the simplest things
Walking slowly to admire a bush of flowers, trailing your fingers along the wheatgrass, feeling the prickles of rain down your cheeks
Hearing the crunch of dried leaves beneath your boots, squinting your eyes at the shine of golden day's light, hearing the early birds sing their calls
Oh what a privilege indeed, to stop and admire, to feel the wonders of being alive
