Kiss 20
I do not own red hood and the outlaws.
Jason is looking on his phone. It is almost time. He and Sasha decided to meet at six to eat some pizza together and catch up. Just when it turned six o'clock Sasha appeared in sight. She waves at him and he waves back. She walks towards him and together they make their way to the small pizzeria. They have been there before. It is a place where many students come because it is relatively cheap. Pizza's are only six dollars. Sasha had introduced Jason to this place and he likes the pizza's even if they are salty. They tell the waitress that they have a reservation. To Sasha's disappointment they have a table outside.
''I forgot to tell them that I don't want to eat outside.'' She mutters.
Jason raises an eyebrow. Why don't you want to eat outside?''
Sasha's eyes narrow. ''Because of the insects?'' She sounds like it is suppose to be obvious.
''C'mon you are a lot bigger than them.'' Jason smirks. Sasha just crosses her arms and ignores him. Jason lets it go. They order something to drink and since they have already been here before also order their pizza. The place has over 40 different pizza's. They also order some bread with herb butter. As they tell the waitress what they want Jason notices that the place has gotten more expensive. Pizza's are now 7 dollars and the bread with butter's price has increased witch fifty cents. Somehow Jason feels wronged and a little bit annoyed. Why did they suddenly have to raise the prices? What more did they change?
''So how are you doing?'' Jason asks Sasha.
''I am doing fine. I am doing okay at school. Me and my friends are planning on going to the gym together.''
''That sounds nice.'' Jason hums.
''How about you?''
''I am also doing fine. Though I am kind of sad since Bizarros spends more and more time away. He is more often with his girlfriend or with the Kents. It is great that he gets along with other people and does other things but..I guess sometimes I just miss him and it feels like he doesn't need me as much anymore as before. I mean right now it is different than when he became smart.'' Jason tries to explain.
Sasha takes a sip or her ice tea which the waitress had brought them. ''He is growing up, he is leaving the nest.'' She teases.
Jason rolls his eyes. ''I do not suffer from emptynestsyndrome. Seriously Tim, Dick, Stephanie, Duke, Artemis, Simon and now you too. Why does everyone say it.''
''You should get a dog or something.'' Sasha laughs.
''We can't. We both work now and sometimes leave Gotham for weeks. It won't be practical to have a dog.'' Jason takes a sip of his drink. Is it just him or do those glasses look even smaller then the last time he was here? He gets snapped out of his thoughts as the waitress brings them their bread with butter. He sees Sasha staring intensely behind him but when he turns his head all he sees is a family also eating pizza. He takes a piece of bread with butter and puts it in his mouth. It tastes good though it is salty.
''So you do like dogs?'' Sasha asks as she helps herself to some bread.
''Yes. I like dogs when they do not try to steal my food or jacket. Between us I like Titus better then Ace. Damian's dog listens and always likes to play.''
''Have you already planned on what you are going to do now? Are you going to university?'' Sasha asks as she eats the last piece of bread.
''I don't know yet. I might take a few college classes but I am very busy. I volunteer at a library together with Bizarro and I work at a local bookshop.''
''What are you interested in?'' Sasha drinks the last bit of her ice tea.
''Literature or medicine. Maybe also history. '' Jason answers. A waitress then comes with their Pizza's and Sasha orders another ice tea. Jason still has some coke left. He takes a piece of his pizza. It is also salty. He has figured out this pizzeria's master plan. They are giving you your drinks very fast but let you wait for the food. Then the food they give you is salty so that you get more thirsty. The glasses are small so that you order more drinks. Because they make the most money with selling drinks. He could just go to the supermarket across the street and get two whole bottles of coke for the same price that he pays here for a small glass. While Jason is thinking about this he sees Sasha looking a little bit uncomfortable as she glances behind them. Then suddenly something flies towards them and lands on Sasha's pizza. Her eyes widen and she moves her chair back and is ready to bail. There is an insect on her pizza.
''It is a wasp.'' Sasha sounds kind of scared. Jason raises an eyebrow and slowly moves his hand to move the insect away. It doesn't really work because soon there are two of them sitting on her pizza and Sasha looks upset. It looks like she wants to leave.
''Relax it are just bees.'' Jason responds as he tries to move them away with his hand.
''They are wasps!'' Sasha says as she eyes the inside of the pizzeria. ''Now I can't eat my pizza anymore.''
''Why not?''
''Because they are on it? '' She crosses her arms. Jason sighs and waves a waitress over.
''Can we maybe sit inside? We are having a problem with the insects.'' The waitress goes back inside to see if there is a space free and there is so they move inside. Sasha stares at her pizza which is now free from bees but she still doesn't eat anything.
''You want to swap with me? He asks her.
''You don't mind?'' Jason can see the hope and relief in her eyes. ''Are you sure?''
Jason shrugs. ''I don't mind and we have the same pizza after all.'' Sasha smiles. Jason is used to eat worse food.
''Though I did eat more than you.'' Jason adds but Sasha says that that is fine. They swap pizza's and Sasha eats again. She then looks at him.
''Were you not afraid of the wasp it could sting you.''
''It was a bee those are friendly.''
Sasha raises her eyebrows. ''Why do you think it was a bee, it was clearly yellow so it was a wasp.''
''But he had those little hairs on his body and bees also are a bit yellow.''
''Yeah but not this yellow.'
''Well we can look it up later.'' Jason comments.
''Wasps are evil little beats. I don't understand why they are even alive and why they were only going after my pizza!''
Jason shrugs. ''I have no idea.''
''You probably think I am over reacting. I mean I know of your past and I am just rejecting that pizza because an insect has been on it.''
Jason smiles at her. ''Don't worry I honestly don't mind. You are my little sister after all I am supposed to indulge you.'' Sasha laughs at that.
Author's note
Hi! I know also another random chapter but I wanted you to learn a little bit more of this universe. In this one Jason and Sasha have a good relationship. They are like a brother and a sister. Sasha is not in the vigilante business. She was Jason's sidekick for a while until Jason realises he was doing the same that batman did and such he was acting like a hypocrite. He wanted Sasha to be safe and happy so he fired her from being his sidekick and instead he bought her an apartment and a chance to finish high school. At first Sasha wanted to stay at Jason's side but in the end she gave in because Jason wanted her to have the chance he never had. Even if she is not his sidekick they still spend a lot of time together.
Also this chapter is based on my own experience. I went to a pizzeria which has gotten more expensive and where my pizza was attacked by wasps. Luckily I have a very nice and awesome friend. Also this chapter was supposed to be 500 hundred words. Sigh better luck next time.
This chapter was written last summer but I forgot about it until I found it again so now I am uploading it. Last year I did a chapter with the theme of Christmas so I am not doing that this year. Instead I have something else planned.
Merry Christmas!
