102: "I don't remember that!" for Jason and Dick?
For Write 365 Day 169! (And more of the werewolf au) Sorry this took so long to get posted, I was struggling to figure out what to write for it and then Voltron season 6 happened and I had a fic-splosion of ideas, but….yeah here it is now.
Jason was in the Cave strapping a couple of extra daggers onto his thighs when Dick walked up. Tim was on the opposite end of the Cave. He had most of the pieces of his Red Robin uniform on, but what was going through his utility belt and restocking anything that was running low from his last patrol so many nights ago.
Dick clapped a hand on his shoulder, making him scowl. “Glad to see that you’ve finally pulled out of your overprotective haze,” he said. “I was starting to get worried the Were was taking over and you weren’t going to come back to yourself.”
“What are you talking about?” he asked, trying to shrug off the hold.
“I’m talking about when you practically perched on the edge of Tim’s bed and hissed at anyone who came close. I thought you were closer to a cat than a Were,” he said with a chuckle.
“What the fuck are you going about? I didn’t do that!” he scoffed.
“Oh really? Why don’t you check the surveillance footage,” he said, turning towards the computer. “I think there’s pretty good chunk of time where you were squatting on the hospital bed. Might’ve even cleaned yourself a couple of times for good measure…”
Jason put a hand on his arm and stopped him from doing anything he’d largely regret seeing. “No, Dick stop.” He threw an arm around his shoulders and pulled Dick against his side. He glanced over at Tim at the opposite side of the Cave, but he was still focused on his work. “I don’t remember that happening.”
Dick grinned. “Oh, Jason. Poor, poor, baby Were Jason. There are so many things you don’t know about being a Were and it’s starting to become such a wonderful thing. You know, I was pretty worried at first, but I think this is the most amusement I’ve had in a while.”
“Shut it. Yes, I’m not the most experienced at being a Were, but just tell me what happened.”
“I think it was somewhere during the first night Tim was in medical,” he mused, scratching his chin. “You were pretty exhausted and from what I can tell, the Were took over to let your mind rest and because it didn’t have much self-control, its actions were based around instinct and the need to protect. Hence, the hissing.”
Jason sighed and scrubbed a hand down his face. “You’re never going to let this go are you?” he asked.
“Nope!” Dick said brightly. He ducked and slipped out of Jason’s hold, bounding across the Cave. “Hey Timmy, you want to see something hilarious?”
“No!” Jason said, chasing after him.
Tim looked up, his brow furrowing. “What?” he asked.
“Do you want to know what Jason did while you were knocked unconscious after the Were attack?” Dick asked, evading the grabs Jason made to shut him up.
“You mean the fact he perched at the edge of my bed while I was out and growled at anyone who even stepped into the Cave? Yeah, I watched those video logs like a week ago,” he said, glancing at Jason with a smirk.
“Wait, you knew?” Jason asked, mouth hanging open.
“Yeah,” he said with a shrug. “Was I not supposed to?”
“I didn’t know,” Jason muttered.
Dick’s shoulders sagged and he grumbled under his breath before walking off, sad he’d lost the opportunity to embarrass Jason further.
Tim’s smirk softened into a smile when he looked back at Jason. “I don’t mind that it happened if that’s what you’re worried about.”
“I’d be worried. It’s kind of weird.”
Tim shrugged. “Our whole lives are weird. We’re vigilantes. You’re a werewolf. I think this can easily fall somewhere on the scale of normal, everyday weird that happens in our lives.”
Jason sighed, his shoulders sagging. “Well next time you need saving, don’t expect me to come. I wouldn’t want my Were to get in the way.”
“Oh, you’ll come,” Tim said as he turned to walk off. “If it’s not because of your own desire, than the Were would definitely force you to.“
He sighed again, because Were or not, he really would go save Tim.
