Jason “never had a real relationship before, had at most quick fucks and one night stands, basically relying on his romantic books on what a good boyfriend should be” Todd x reader “never been in a relationship either but has listened to her friends complain about their boyfriends and watched her friends trainwreck of a relationship with multiple different men who have in some way or form made them miserable and reader been taking notes of red flags to look for when dating a guy and when to get out of dodge. Very distrusting of Jason cause he looks like those asshole jacked gym bros her friends used to date before they got cheated on”
Jason: here, flowers for you *holds a bouquet out*
Reader: *accepts bouquet* *squints at him in suspiciously* thank you, these are lovely. *remembers her friend told her guys only get girls flowers when they did something wrong* Why did you get me flowers may I ask?
Jason: *panicking, cause his romance novel told him women love flowers* cause it’s the gentleman thing to get a lady flowers.
Jason: I’ll have a steak and side of French fries. What would you like?
Reader: I’ll-*remembers her friend talk about how guys don’t like women that eat a lot” I’ll have just a salad.
Jason: just a salad? Your not hungry?
Reader: oh no, I’ve eaten before I got here.
Jason: *remembers dick told him not to order for a woman as it’s rude to assume.* hmm, ok then.
Jason: I’m full, you want these fries? *noticing reader has been staring at them after eating her salad*
Reader: oh no I couldn’t, I’m full really! *absolutely starving*
Jason: well it’s a waste of food, shame, they taste pretty good too.
Reader: well, I guess I’ll try one. *eats one* mm, that is good. *proceeds to eat more*
Jason: *hands his card to the waiter while reader is chowing down on the fries* get me an another order of fries to go please.
Ok I’m tired of writing this but basically Jason sends reader home with another box of fries after walking her to her front door. And now her friends are eager to hear how the date went for their little baby of the group. And reader is confused cause Jason didn’t seem to do any of the red flags her friends warned her about.
Just cautious reader and clueless Jason who both never been in a relationship before and just navigating it together.
jason and you/reader get the hang of the whole dating thing after like the fiifth date at the very least. there's still a bit of awkwardness here and there but soon enough that awkwardness becomes what your dates are primarily known for but in an endearing way that makes you smile upon looking back at them.
you: i got you something *gives him flowers* it's not much but i thought that you needed something to show for it.
jason: *only ever believed that men never got flowers, ever* you didn't have to get me flowers, not unless you wanted to get me flowers that is.
you: i wanted to get you flowers but i can always return these if you don't want them-
jason: i'll keep them! i'll keep them! *holds flowers to his chest and smiles*
jason abides by the sidewalk rule with his whole chest, he will not let you go anywhere near the busy roads at all, he will allow himself to get splashed with water if it meant keeping you dry.
you: i swear some people are dickheads.
jason: *soaking wet* true but i'd rather get splashed then you.
you: that's sweet but it's like minus six degees, aren't you not absolutely freezing? we could always call off the date and have take out instead?
jason: *starting to feel the cold* take out actually sounds nice about now.
