Just a heads up, I'll be uploading fore than once a day today and tomorrow due to the fact that I'll be absent for two weeks.
Keep a look out for the next few chapters.
Event: First day of school
JASON: Five years old.
Conner plucks his son out of the car and places the boy down onto the pavement, his eyes wandering over to the large building that was Gotham Primary Academy. He hears his husband's door close and looks down to find Jason slipping on his Superman backpack with a large smile.
"You ready?" Dick whispers and clasps Conner's hand tightly.
"Shouldn't you be asking Jase that question?" Conner asks, but squeezes back gently.
"But I am ready Daddy." Jason says happily as they start walking towards the large front doors of the building.
Before Conner opens the door, he lets go of Dick's hand and run a hand through his hair, perfecting his 'careless older brother' look with ease.
The woman at the front desk snaps to attention when he catches sight of the good looking man that is Dick Grayson.
She smiles up at Conner's husband and flirts heavily before handing Jason his brand new ID card and pointing them towards a hallway. The whole time, Conner retrains himself from blowing a fuse.
Conner grabs Jason hand gently and they make their way towards the other parents who are walking aimlessly around the big building.
Dick seems to know all the right turns and soon enough, they find themselves in a very loud classroom.
Jason's eyes are as wide as dinner plates as he looks around at all the other kids.
"Mr. Grayson!" an elderly woman walks over to them with a warm smile and Conner kneels down to let Dick handle the woman.
"You ready for this Buddy?" Kon asks his son, still wary of letting his boy go.
"Yes! Papa promised me it would be fun."
"Yeah well…just making sure." Conner mumbles.
"I didn't know you had two boys." Conner looks up to find Dick chuckling and shaking his head.
"He doesn't make very many appearances." Dick explains and blushes brightly.
Long ago, they had agreed on sticking to the story of Richard Grayson taking up the family habit of adopting strays.
As far as anyone else knew, Conner and Jason were the first pair of boys Dick had taken in.
"Well…shouldn't he be in school?" the woman asks in confusion.
"I have a free period now. Wanted to say goodbye to my brother." Conner responds, lowering his voice and dumbing down his vocabulary in order to perfect his disguise.
They're asked no more questions and Dick kneels to say goodbye to his son.
"You'll be alright okay? This is going to be fun." Dick promised and fixed his son's crazy mess of hair.
"Yes Papa." The boy responds.
"And if any of these brats pick on you, you be sure to let me know." Conner adds, very well aware of the fact that Jason's teacher was standing right behind them and that her concentration was locked on him.
Jason giggles and nods, not sure why his Dad was talking weirdly but enjoyed the game none the less.
Conner nods back and stands up. Dick says a few more things and Conner turns to look around the room.
He could spot several dangerous spots in the room but said nothing, not wanting to cause trouble.
That's when he felt a sudden pressure on his legs.
Conner turns to find a small blond boy sitting on the ground, his hand rubbing his small shoulder and his eyes wide with panic.
"Oh, I'm sorry." Conner looks up to find a man behind the small boy. "Charles wasn't watching where he was going."
Conner notices the thick Irish accent and only bends to pluck the boy up onto his feet before nodding.
"No big deal, the kid looks like he's seen a ghost." He mumbles, not wanting to really speak with this man but knowing very well he had to.
"We just moved down from Ireland, Charles isn't very sure of what's going on. He's a bit frightened."
"Conner? You ready to go?" Conner turns to find Dick walking over with Jason still clasps onto his hand.
"Yeah. It was nice meeting you." Conner says to the man before turning.
Jason's eyes widen slightly before he runs over to stand in front of Charles.
"Hi. I'm Jason. What's your name?" He asks, his eyes filling with happiness and joy.
The blond boy lifts his head and Conner catches a glimpse of the light green eyes. The round orbs stare at Jason for a second before he smiles slightly to respond.
"Charlie." He says softly.
"Wanna be friends?" Jason asks confidently, his hand reaching out as if to ask for Charlie to place his own into Jason's grasp.
Charlie laughs and only takes Jason's hand.
Both boys run off towards the rest of their class and Conner is left awestruck.
His baby boy…had just made a friend.
Not only that but Jason had done it all in less than five minutes!
"I should get going. It was nice meeting you." The man chuckles before leaving.
Dick is close to tears by the time Conner turns his attention over to him.
"Come on, Let's get back home." Conner rolls his eyes, trying to be strong for the two of them.
"He's growing up." Dick whispers as they walk away.
I had so much fun writing this. I had to go and ask my parents about how I reacted to my first day of kindergarten in order to get the reaction just right. I apparently met my best friend by just walking up to him while he was crying and sat down. I started crying too and he looked up and asked why I was crying. I said 'I don't know' and asked why he was crying.
He said he was sobbing because he missed hi9s parents and I laughed. He laughed too and I asked 'Wanna be friends?' he said yes…and we went back to crying.
I was an odd child, I know. But that's how I met him.
Anyways, hope you guys enjoyed the chapter!
