Prompt: Something super fluffy.

Dick - 31
Jason - 28
Kaden - 6


Today was their day. Dick was away at work at Bludhaven and today was a holiday, so Kaden didn't have school. And, for a change, Jason's 'work' didn't have him running all over Gotham, so today was for him and Kaden. It was a nice day, warm and sunny, sitting at a comfortable 75 degrees, so off to the park they went!

Kaden was so excited to go the park with his dad, he got dressed in record time; the little boy came bounding out of his room within minutes, pulling on a bright red Flash t-shirt as he came down the hall, wearing his favorite pair of blue jeans, and practically jumping into his black, yellow, and silver light up Batman shoes. For his part, Jason was content with just a pair of jeans and a green t-shirt.

"Ready to go bud?" Jason asked, flashing the boy a smile as he knelt before him and ruffled his hair.

"Yeah! Let's go to the park!" Kaden chortled. Jason chuckled in amusement as he stood back up and made for the door. Kaden whizzed past him, grabbing his hand and dragging him. Jason gasped as he was suddenly yanked forward, surprised by the little boy's strength.

"Woah, slow down Kid Flash! The park isn't going anywhere!" Jason called with a laugh. Kaden giggled in response, jumping up to try and reach the car keys on the wall. He grumbled when he couldn't reach them, giving a little pout. Jason couldn't help but to smile, grabbing the keys off the wall and patting the boy's hair.

"Hey, don't worry. You'll get bigger some day. No need to rush," Jason replied, ushering him out the door. They took the Lamborghini, since Dick had taken their other car and the side car for his motorcycle hadn't been installed yet; there was absolutely no way, under any circumstances, that Kaden was ever going to ride his motorcycle without that side car.

"You know the rules, right?' Jason asked, hopping into the driver's seat and looking at Kaden. He waited patiently, looking right at Kaden; they never went anywhere until-

"Yup!" Kaden replied, hopping into the passenger's seat and buckling his seat belt. Jason smiled and patted the boy's head, starting the car and heading off for the park. Were this any city other than Gotham, he'd have held Kaden's hand and they would've walked to the park. But it was Gotham, and, to be frank, he didn't trust this city with his kid. Dick was a little less paranoid about it, but Jason knew the city in a way he didn't.

Okay, so maybe he was being a little overprotective, but who could blame him? I mean, Gotham wasn't exactly a sparkling gem of safety and prosperity. In retrospect, perhaps Gotham was not the best place to raise a child, but it was home. Jason's home. So he took it upon himself, alongside Dick, Bruce, and Damian, to make it safe. And as Jason glanced over at his little boy, the little grin on his face as he looked out the window and hummed the tune to a song from one of his favorite Disney movies, he knew the sacrifices were worth it.

"Dad, there it is!" Kaden called minutes later, face nearly pressed up against the window as the park came into view. Jason chuckled in amusement as he veered in it's direction.

"I know, I see it! Sit in your seat right, Kades," Jason replied. Kaden sat back down in his seat, his little hands grasping the belt buckle excitedly, waiting for the moment the car stopped. And when it did, that seat belt was off before you could say 'In a Flash', and he bounced out of the car door.

"Kaden," Jason said in warning. Kaden huffed a little in annoyance, but waited patiently for his father. The man rounded the car and grabbed Kaden's hand, and was led to the park by his son, once again underestimating the kid's strength, and almost tripping over the curb. As soon as they hit grass, Kaden tugged harder. It was only when they reached the edge of the sand box, did Jason let go, and Kaden rocketed off for the jungle gym. Jason watched in amusement, making himself comfortable on a nearby bench, from which he watched the boy play.

Jason heaved a contented sigh as he relaxed on the bench, head tilting back and closing his eyes for a few moments. He sucked in a deep breath, then looked back toward the playground to see Kaden happily playing with other children. He felt a little pride in himself at the sight; pride in the fact that he was able to give Kaden the kind of childhood he wished he had had.

Jason glanced back at Kaden and quirked an eyebrow; the boy was talking with his friend, then looked right at him and smirked. Should he be concerned? Kaden raced toward his father and Jason sat up, ready for anything; what did this pint-sized terror have in store for him now?

"Hey daddy?"

"Yeah? What is it, champ?"

"Tag, you're it!" Kaden called, racing off into the grass. Jason blinked for a moment, then grinned from ear to ear. He jumped off of the bench and chased after Kaden was was looking over his shoulder to see if his father was coming. He let out a shrill laugh as he booked it for the grass, his father right behind him.

"Oh I am, am I? C'mere!" Jason called after him, skidding to a stop as Kaden turned on a dime and raced off the other way. Jason raced after the boy who was laughing hysterically. When Jason finally caught up, he hauled the little boy up off of his feet, wrapped him up and both arms and gave a playful growl as he hugged him tight. "Ha! Gotcha!"

"Daddy, put me down!" Kaden called with a shrill laugh. Jason laughed and knelt down on the grass, dropping the little boy carefully to the ground and then tickling him.

"I have a better idea! Thought you could get the drop on me, huh? How about this?" Jason called, continuing his playful assault as Kaden laughed hysterically, squirming to break free of his father's ticklish fingers.

"Daddy stooop! I'm gonna pee!" Kaden called with another shrill laugh. Jason heaved a satisfied sigh and dropped down onto the grass beside Kaden, content with his victory. Kaden huffed a bit as he lay beside his father and folded his hands behind his head.

"Old fart," Kaden teased.

"Brat. You want some more?" Jason teased, poking Kaden in the side. Kaden giggled and shied away, holding his little hands up defensively.

"No! No more, you win!" Kaden replied with a laugh. The two of them sighed in unison, content to just lay in the grass.

"Today was fun, but I'm kinda hungry," Kaden admitted. Jason groaned as he pulled himself up into a siting position, helping Kaden up to his feet.

"Alright, let's go home and grab a bite to eat, yeah?"

"Okay!"

._._._._.

Dick heaved a weary sigh as he pulled himself up the stairs to the apartment. He'd been let off or work early today, but it was quite a busy day; thirteen arrests today, and eight of them were before noon. I was almost two pm when he finally pushed his way through the door.

"Kades! Jason! I'm home!" Dick called, hanging his keys up on the wall and kicking off his shoes. He groaned as he unbuttoned his shirt a little and padded into the living room when he didn't get an answer. He quickly found out why; the tv was going, with Netflix on and some cartoon show going and Jason and Kaden were sound asleep on the couch. The two of them were stretched out on the couch, with Kaden sound asleep in his father's arms.

At the sight of it, Dick's heart melted and he couldn't help but just watch them for a little bit. He snuck into his bedroom and grabbed the camera, snapping a few pictures. This was definitely a memory worth preserving.
