So…I think I'm doing a good job at updating…honestly the only reason that I'm posing this is because Competitions were short today and I'm not going to homecoming…

Anyways…we got straight superiors today! For those of you who have never been in band…you have no idea what I'm talking about…but for those of you who do know what I mean…Oh my goodness you guys!

In other news…we watched another band twuirk (not sure how you spell it) on the field.

Not only did we see that…but we also saw: splits, butt smacking, fireworks come out after guard opened their legs, humping the ground, and so much more!

So…some of you found out about me being in band and asked what kind of show we are doing…I'll be posting a link to our performance on my profile page if anyone is interested, I do ask that if any of you have comments not to post them on the comments section…please just send them to me.

It would be awkward to have to deal with my band captain's rant on how we got random comments.

So…yeah.

I still need an idea for the next chapter if anyone has one…send it my way.

Enjoy…and REVIEW!

JASON: Sixteen

EVENT: Promising my Love

PART: 2/2

It's only once Jason is introduced to countless 'Aunts' and 'Uncles' that he's finally able to sneak onto the back patio.

The music from inside still filters out towards him but the endless chatter fades away into a mumble.

The ebony pulls out his cell phone and glances inside carefully before pressing his third speed dial contact.

"Hello?" Charlie's accent filters through the device and Jason smiles at the familiar sound before chuckling.

"Hey…"

"Hey…took you a while to call." the blonde states softly.

"Yeah…I'm sorry; Pop decided to have guests over and my house looks like a high school party."

"Guests?" Charlie's voice gives away his frown and Jason only laughs before sighing.

"Yeah…did you know that Flash is my uncle?" Jason asks.

he only hears a soft gasp before he's attacked with questions by his boyfriend.

Inside, Conner has his arm wrapped securely around his husband's waist at the shorter male sways back and forth slightly due to the large amount of alcohol he had drank in the past hour.

"I love you." the former Robin whispers into his ear softly as a hand lands on the half kryptonian's chest.

"Dick…" he sighs and places a hand over the other's with a sigh.

""Hm?"

"I love you too." Conner places a kiss on the other's head gently before looking around the room.

Everyone was there.

Every friend they had made form the time they started their hero careers to the minute they drifted away.

Wally and Artemis were over by the fire place…M'gann stood next to the Christmas tree with a wide smile…Jaime was sitting next to Bart on the couch…

Conner allows his eyes to run over the rest of the crowd before frowning.

Jason wasn't in the room.

"What's wrong?" Dick asks softly before placing a kiss on his jaw.

"Where's Jason?" Conner asks.

"The patio." Deck motions towards the back doors and Conner turns to find their son talking intently on the phone.

"What is he doing?"

"Nothing bad…let him." Dick sighs and hugs his husband tightly. "I'm happy."

"Have you not been recently?" Conner asks and looks down at the other.

"Chaos has been attacking form every side lately…it feels nice to relax."

"Dick?"

"Hm…"

"I love you."

"…I love you too Conner."

… … …

A few miles away, Charlie sits on his bed with a mug of hot chocolate in his hand and a scrap book on his lap.

The blonde flips the page to stare at another set of pictures of himself and Jason from when they were kids.

"You know, it's not healthy to spend Christmas alone."

The blonde lets out a small yelp of surprise before turning to look out his window.

It's now open…and Robin sits on the ledge with a wide smirk.

"You scared me." Charlie sighs as he places the book on his bedside table along with his mug.

"My apologies." the ebony states teasingly.

"I thought you had a party."

"My parents can handle it… I'd rather be here."

"Here?"

"Here; with you…alone…" Jason smiles gently at the other before standing and shutting the window.

"My dad and sister are across the hall."

"They don't have to know I'm here."

"…Robin?"

"Yeah?" the hero mumbles as he steps forward to wrap his arms around the blonde's waist.

"…I love you." the blonde hugs the ebony tightly and places his head on the bird's shoulder.

"I love you too."

The couple stays like that for a minute or two before Charlie pulls back slightly.

"Jason…Merry Christmas."

"Merry Christmas…I have something for you…"

"Me too."

Both boys chuckle before pulling apart to reach for their presents.

Jason pulls a small box form his utility belt and holds it tightly.

Charlie however walks to his closet and picks up a bundle cautiously.

"What is that?" Jason asks with a raised eyebrow.

"Your present…" Charlie blushes.

"It's not wrapped…and it's moving…" Jason states with a raised eyebrow.

"Yeah…" Charlie chuckles.

"What is it?"

"Jase…meet Bruno." Charlie states before crouching to unwrap a small Alaskan Malamute pup.

"Charlie…" Jason sighs out before smiling and kneeling down.

The pup looks up and blinks as Jason before wagging its small tail and rushing towards the ebony.

"I think he likes you." Charlie chuckles.

Jason only laughs and pets the pup carefully.

"Here…my present isn't a great as yours." Jason sighs and stands up slowly before handing over the small box.

Charlie only rolls his eyes at the other's puppy dog eyes before tearing apart the wrapping paper slowly.

Once the paper is gone, Charlie finds himself staring at a black velvet box.

"Jase?"

"Open it."

Charlie complies and pops the box open…only find a silver band with a small diamond at the center.

"What…"

"It's a promise ring…"

Charlie plucks the ring form the box and turns it slightly to get a better look at the ring.

There's a red strip that rings along the center of the ring…it's lined by black and just above it…the words 'Today, Tomorrow…and Always' are engraved in cursive.

The diamond below the red strip twinkles and winks at him at the light hits it gently.

"Why Jason?"

"I want you to know…that I really do love you. I know I've made mistakes. And I know I don't deserve you…but I'm grateful that you've given me a second chance. This…is my way of asking you…to never let me go. I promise you Charlie that…you'll always be the only person I really love…I don't want to lose you. I know what is feels like and I never want to feel that pain again. Accept the ring…and you'll promise me that you'll always love me…give it back…and I'll understand that you love me…but not in the same way."

Charlie can only stare at his boyfriend for a second before shaking his head and launching himself at the other.

Arms wrap around each other and Jason lets out a sigh of relif as he tightens his hold on Charlie.

"Take off my glove." Jason whispers softly before pulling back and extending his right hand.

Charlie obeys and gently peels away the leather glove…on Jason's ring finger…an identical ring is perched proudly.

"Jase…" Charlie lets out an airy chuckle before looking up and leaning forward to place a kiss on Jason's lips.

Bruno is forgotten for a few minutes as the couple shares an intimate moment.

Charlie pulls back and stares at Robin's mask more a second before reaching up to peel away the domino mask.

"I love you." Jason whispers.

"I love you too Jason."
