The moon was shining bright in the night sky, illuminating the ground below. A gentle, calming breeze blew. Red and orange leaves danced in the air as the faint sounds of owls hooting carried through the wind.
Looking up at the moon, Jason took off his helmet and breathed in deeply. Something about the moon felt mystical, supernatural almost, and it made him feel at ease. Jason felt most comfortable at night, calm as the dark covered the city.
Hearing the faintest sound of footsteps dropping onto the rooftop, Jason didn't have to look to know it was Steph. Waiting until she joined him, Jason offered her a small smile and gently removed her hood, her eyes sparkling as she looked up at him.
Gotham was quiet, the streets were empty, and everyone was out of sight. Down below, soft piano music came from one of the apartments and it was soothing to his ears. Wrapping an arm around Steph, Jason pressed a faint kiss to her temple. Feeling Steph lean her head against his shoulder, Jason closed his eyes.
With Stephanie, Jason knew he could be himself. Steph accepted him as he was, and it didn't take her long to realise his bark was worse than his bite. He trusted her, and she helped him loosen up, and to reconnect with those he considered his family.
Turning to face Steph, Jason ran a finger along her jawline and wondered how he got as lucky as he did. In his eyes, Steph was as pretty as a picture, she was a natural beauty, and every time they were together, he felt a warmth radiate through his body, pulling him closer to her.
As the music got louder, Jason held out one hand, the other behind his back. Feeling Steph's hand in his own, Jason relished the feeling of her soft hands in his before he pulled her close and began to softly sway back and forth in time with the rhythm of the music.
Jason could feel Steph smiling against his shoulder, and it made his heart flutter for a moment. Looking up at the moon, he thanked whoever was out there and held her closer. Jason knew he could spend the rest of the night with Steph in his arms, and as they danced together under the glow of the moon, he gently tilted her head up and kissed her, savouring the moment of his love in his arms.
