"Normally this is the part where I'd offer my guest a donut" Dick started after walking in "But since I don't know you it'd probably be safer just to arrest you" He stared down his guest.
"Kinky" Jason smirked, raising the cop hat he'd taken from the stand to join Dick's staring contest.
Dick sighed "Honestly, if I wasn't afraid you might be caught out as 'supposed to be dead' I might actually arrest you" He sat beside the younger man.
"If it means anything, I'm sorry?"
"You disappeared for three months, Jay. You didn't tell anyone, you didn't tell me. Pretty sure being sorry won't help that"
"It was short notice for me too!" Jason defended.
"You could've called or texted or emailed or something! Three months! Surely there was a bathroom break or a moment where you couldn't sleep that you could've let me, us, know you were alive!"
"If there was, believe me I would've. But I couldn't"
"Can you at least tell me why?" Dick pleaded, puppy dog eyes and all.
Jason was sure his heart snapped and he closed his eyes "I can't. I'm sorry, but I can't. No one can know"
Dick pouted, but he understood the situation well enough, he'd been through it before, but he hated not knowing "Fine" He conceded, stealing his hat back from atop Jason's head and putting it back on his own "My hat" He warned, just daring Jason to try and steal it again.
"Looked better on me" Jason muttered sing-songily.
A silence lapsed into the atmosphere, staying there tensely, waiting to be rejected by someone.
"So... you're back" Dick made the move to push away the discomfort.
"Yes"
"And you're not going to run off again?"
"I don't think so"
"And in the three months that you were gone..?"
"No" Jason didn't even need the rest of the sentence.
More silence.
"Did you?" Jason asked after gathering up the courage.
"No" Dick shook his head like hadn't even thought of it before or that it was the most unbelievable thing he could imagine.
Jason sighed in relief "So... Are we still..?"
"I don't know. Are we?" Dick smiled a little.
"Do you want to be?"
"The better question is do you want to be?"
"Yeah?" Jason tried not to sound too eager about the idea.
"You sure? Because I'm not sensing a very commited person here"
"It won't happen again"
"Really? Because Jay, three seconds is too long for me. How do you think I went for three months?"
"You look like you managed fine"
Dick smiled "I hate you. I really do"
"So that a no to getting back together?"
Dick sighed dramatically "No, it's not a no"
So any good? Anything I could fix up or add? Seriously, I need reviews!
