Jason couldnât quite stop the hitch in his breath as Dick buried a hand in his hair and used the grip to tip his head back so he could deepen the kiss. Jason reacted in kind and slipped the hand that had been on the back of Dickâs neck up into his hair as he tightened the arm he had around the other manâs back. Dick shifted some of his weight onto his other forearm, so he wasnât completely crushing Jason into the bed, without breaking the kiss.Â
But Jason couldnât help but tense up as Dick ground his hips against Jasonâs thigh.Â
Dick pulled back, breathing slightly faster than normal through his swollen lips. âNot tonight?â
âNot tonight.â Jason echoed. âSorry.â
Dick just smiled softly as he readjusted how he was lying over Jason so his hips werenât touching him anymore. âI thought Iâd already told you to stop apologising, Jay.â
Jason shrugged as Dick gently nuzzled their heads together.Â
âIâm happy just doing this, or cuddling up and watching a movie or reading, little wing.â Dick said before pressing a kiss to the side of Jasonâs mouth.Â
Jason lent into him. âI know, itâs justâŚâ
âI know.â Dick said quietly.Â
Theyâd had a lot of conversations over the past eight months about sex and what it meant to them both. It took a while, but Jason was eventually in a position that he could and wanted to try. Dick was exactly as Jason thought he would be; sweet and gentle and more than willing to take charge. Jason enjoyed it, and theyâd started having sex on a semi-frequent basis. But Jason had to be in the right headspace for it and he was well aware that their sexlife wasâŚÂ lacking compared to most normal couples. Though, as Dick kept reminding him whenever he used that word, there was really no such thing as normal .Â
âHey.â Dick said, carding a careful hand through his curls to pull his attention back to him. âI can practically hear you thinking, care to share with the class?â
âI think you already know what Iâm thinking about.â Jason said with a lopsided smile as he bumped his nose against Dickâs.Â
Dick hummed. âYou need another reminder about how perfectly happy I am with our relationship?â
Jason shook his head. âNo, I know. Itâs justâŚâ
âBrains are weird.â Dick smiled.Â
âBrains are weird.â Jason agreed, matching his smile.Â
âSoooo, have you decided on which of the options you want to choose for the rest of the night?â Dick asked, still smiling.Â
âWhat were the options again?â
âWe can carry on making out, or we can have a cuddle night with books or a movie?â
Jason debated each one before answering. â Or , we could watch a boring movie that inevitably ends up with us making out anyway.â
Dick laughed. âThatâs definitely something Iâm onboard with.â
