Another Year

And so the day had finally come; Jason's birthday. Both Kaden and Dick had been planning a small surprise party for him whether he wanted it or not. Though Dick knew the man did want it, because deep down, he liked being appreciated, he liked the attention, like every other normal human being on earth.

It wouldn't exactly be a surprise party, because it was nearly impossible to surprise a former Robin given their training, but at the very least, they gathered up some of Jason's friends at the manor. Namely, Roy, Wally, Artemis, and Barbara. Well, at least they invite the friends they knew Jason had.

Kaden had been saving his money up since March in order to buy his dad's gift, and Dick said he'd need the apartment later. Kaden didn't need to know why because he already knew. And on a side not, gross. Now they were just waiting on Jason to show up. Jason had been called away on 'business' again, so the Red Hood had to go knock down some doors, but he'd be coming to the manor afterward.

Kaden, Tim, Damian, Roy, Wally, Artemis and Barbara were more or less all lounging around the main room talking, waiting for Jason. Dick hadn't come, and merely said he had a surprise for Jason back home, to which Kaden shuddered slightly. It was pointless to try and surprise Jason, since he kind of expected it every year, but it was also a nice excuse to get everyone together again.

And right on cue, Jason came through the door in civilian attire; a light brown leather jacket with a black t-shirt underneath it, a pair of dark jeans and black boots. Jason sighed deeply and rake a hand through his hair but his expression seemed to lighten a bit when he saw all his friends gathered in the living room of the manor.

"Happy birthday, Jason!" They all said in unison with smiles on their faces. Jason chuckled in amusement as he walked into the room and was immediately hugged by Wally, or course being the cuddler that he was, then Barbara, and of course Roy, and then Kaden.

"Well, it's good to see you guys, but you didn't have to do this," Jason said smoothly, rubbing the back of his neck. Wally snorted and playfully jabbed Jason in the side with his elbow.

"Didn't have to do this, he says, as if he doesn't like it," Wally said with a smirk. Jason mock frowned at him and slapped him upside the head.

"Are you ever going to grow up?"

"Don't worry Walls, I've been asking Jason that same question for years," Barbara put in, earning a round of laughs. Alfred and Bruce entered the room moments later with the cake. Jason groaned when he caught sight of it, because he knew immediately who was responsible for it-

"Dick," Jason said, rolling his eyes. It was a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting, and red bat symbols all around it, and two red candles "3" and "9". A few laughs from his friends and he blew out the candles.

"Indeed, Master Dick thought it might be humorous to decorate the cake in the fashion of your Red Hood persona," and then Alfred smirked a bit and said "I must say, the look on your face was well worth it." Jason chuckled a bit and shook his head.

"Gee, thanks Alfred. And thanks for encouraging my husband." Alfred just smiled and got to cutting the cake. Hey all sat down on the couch and chairs, eating cake while watching some UFC; all in all, it was a simple party and Jason seemed to be enjoying it. He and Roy really got into the matches, and even Wally and Kaden seemed to show some interested. Artemis, Barbara, Tim, and Damian didn't seem quite as impressed and Bruce wore his usual blank mask. But everyone knew that that was just a mask and that he most certainly enjoyed spending time with his family.

And then came time for the gifts. Everyone was excited and Jason was grinning himself stupid when he opened Barbara's, who insisted she be first. Jason tore open the package and found inside a brand new, custom built laptop.

"To replace the one you broke when you were drunk and accidental dropped it over the balcony, you remember?" Barbara asked, cocking an eyebrow. Jason snickered in amusement and turned it over, examining it.

"Thanks Barbara, appreciate the thought! I promise not to use this one while I'm drunk on the balcony," Jason said, earning a few laughs. Barbara waved her hands dismissively.

"Oh trust me, I took that into account when building it. It can handle being stepped on by an elephant. As long as you don't try any macho bullshit and intentionally try to break it, Roy," Barbara finished, glancing over at Roy. Roy raised his hands defensively.

"What was that for?" Roy asked with a laugh. Then it was Roy's turn and Jason was unsurprised to find-

"Really Roy?" Jason quirked an eyebrow as he pulled out a light brown sleeveless hoodie with a red hood and a red bat symbol on it. Roy smirked and gave a shrug.

"It suits you, Jaybird. Besides, it'd go great with that Red Hood persona of yours," he replied.

"You're hanging out with Dick too much you geek," Jason said with a laugh, throwing the box at the man. Roy laughed and swatted it down to the floor and Jason gave a shrug "but thanks." Then came Wally's gift.

"Wow, thanks Walls," Jason said in surprise as he pulled a high-tech looking pair of Jericho 941 hand guns out of a metal box. Jason looked them over, confirming they were outfitted for non-lethal rounds. The guns were jet black with red LED bat symbols on the sides of them and each outfitted with small laser scopes. Wally gave a shrug of his shoulders.

"That's the advantage of being a member of the Justice League! You wouldn't believe all the cool toys they make up there in the Watchtower!" Wally said with a grin on his face. Jason grinned at the red head and carefully placed them back in the lock box and set them aside, and got to opening the rest of the gifts. Tim had gotten him the whole Artemis Fowl series. It seemed everyone in their family was reading them, something started first by Alfred. But they were good books!

Damian naturally got him a dagger, but not just any dagger. It was a flame dagger, a replica of Ra's own dagger. Bruce's gift was much more thoughtful than Jason had expected; a sketchpad with an assortment of pencils, charcoal and erasers. Then at last, came Kaden's gift. The teen seemed really excited about it as he handed his father an envelope.

"Okay, let's see," Jason muttered to himself as he tore open the envelope. He reached inside and pulled out-

"Holy crap," Jason said, eyes wide. Kaden was grinning like the devil and now everyone was curious.

"What is it?" Roy asked, leaning over the back of the couch. Jason smiled at his son then looked up at everyone.

"It's two tickets UFC tickets! Fuck yeah, I'm totally going!" Jason said, hugging the teen. Kaden chuckled a bit and then cleared his throat.

"We uh...we don't really hang out as much as we used to, so I uh...thought maybe you and I could go," Kaden offered, rubbing the back of his neck. Jason looked over at Kaden and laughed, ruffling the teen's hair.

"Sure champ, I'd like that," Jason replied, earning a few 'aws'.

"Aw, Kaden, you're so adorable!" Kaden frowned and crossed his arms over his chest.

"I am not adorable! Men can't be adorable!" Kaden half-protested but with some amusement in his tone. That earned a few more laughs and Barbara shook her head as she watched both Kaden and Jason talking about UFC. If she hadn't known any better, she would have sworn Kaden was his father's clone.

Eventually, Barbara insisted that Jason get home because Dick had a surprise for him waiting there. Kaden opted to stay with their friends for a little while longer (and because he had suspicions about what kind of surprise his papa had for his dad, ew).


When Jason finally got back to the apartment, Dick was nowhere in sight.

"Dick? You here babe?" Jason called, closing the door behind himself and dropped his stuff, carefully, by the couch to look for Dick. He frowned when he looked all throughout the house and couldn't find him. Then he went to the bedroom, and as soon as he passed through the door-

"You have the right to remain silent," came a voice, thick with lust from behind him. Jason turned and his breath caught in his throat. Dick pushed the door closed and was dressed in his police uniform. Mostly. The button and the zip of his pants were undone, and the top few buttons of his shirt were open as well, exposing part of his chest.

"Well damn. That's one hell of a surprise," Jason muttered with a wicked grin on his face. He moved toward the man and wrapped his arms around his waist and pulled him close. One of his fantasies was fucking Dick in his police uniform, but damn was it hotter in reality than in his mind.

Dick grinned at him and leaned in for a kiss, pressing his lips against Jason's, slow and chaste at first, then he slid his tongue into the other man's mouth and Jason moaned softly as he pulled Dick flush against his body. There they stood, kissing, hands exploring, but none of it sexual, more savoring the moment. Then Dick shoved Jason onto the bed and a seductive grin tugged at his lips. Jason chuckled breathlessly, a heated smirk on his own face as he looked up at his husband, eyes full of lust and need.

Then Dick knelt down and pushed Jason's legs apart, settling between them and stripping off his boots, tossing them aside.

"Happy birthday, Jaybird," Dick said softly with a wink and a grin before he tugged the zipper of the man's jeans down, with his teeth and unclasped the button. Jason's breath hitched in anticipation, his cock hard and throbbing beneath his jeans. And then he felt Dick's fingers grip him, free him from his boxers, and the next thing he knew, he felt a warm, wet heat around his aching cock.

"Christ Dick," Jason breathed, head falling back against the bed, hand threading through his hair. Dick glanced up at him, mischief dancing in his eyes as he bobbed his head up and down on the man's length, tongue swirling around the head. He cupped Jason's balls and gave them a squeeze, peeling a moan out of the man. He felt Jason's fingers thread through his hair, felt his hips buck upward ever so slightly.

"Fuck. Christ. Dammit Dick, I'm gonna-" Jason breathed, biting his lip as he thrust his hips up into empty air. Dick pulled off of him and denied him his orgasm, earning a disappointed whine from his husband. He looked up at Dick who wagged his finger and grinned at him.

"Uh uh uh, not yet," he purred, slowly peeling off his shirt. Jason licked his lips absently and sat up, working Dick's pant's open. Dick threw his shirt to the floor and then got to removing Jason's jacket, tossing it to the floor, his shirt joining it moments later. Jason grinned up at the man as both his hands settled on Dick's ass. He leaned forward and places a series of kisses on Dick's stomach, earning little laughs from him. Dick was very ticklish and Jason knew it. But as he got lower, Dick suddenly shoved him down on the bed and stripped Jason of his pants, leaving him nude.

"Well, if you wanted me naked, you could have just asked," Jason purred. Dick chuckled in amusement and kicked his own pants off, climbing on top of Jason.

"Where's the fun in that?" he asked softly, leaning down and capturing his lips in a deep, sensual kiss. Their tongues dueled and hands explored every inch of skin they could reach and the Dick pulled away and Jason felt the tip of his penis pressing against Dick's hole; he was already lubed up.

"Fuck. Already good to go? Y'know how fuckin' hot that is?" Jason breathed, earning a breathy laugh from Dick. He didn't answer and instead sunk down on Jason's cock. The man groaned as he felt Dick around him, head thudding back against the bed. But the biggest surprise came when he heard the clinking of metal, and when he looked, Dick had a pair of hand cuffs and quickly cuffed him to the headboard.

"Ah shit, getting kinky now, hmm?" Jason purred and Dick laughed, leaning down for a kiss. Dick began to move, riding Jason in a slow, torturous pace, hands resting against the man's chest. Jason groaned and thrust up into him, earning himself a loud moan. Dick picked up the pace, riding Jason faster, harder as the man thrust his hips as much as he could, the both of them moaning and crying out in pleasure.

"Dick...fuck, I'm...getting close!" Jason ground out, cuffs jingling as he tried too pull them free.

"Dick, please, uncuff me! C'mon, god!" Jason whined, desperately needing to hold onto something. Dick grunted as he kept riding Jason and undid the cuffs. In a quick motion, Jason flipped them over while staying inside Dick and pushed him down into the bed, slamming his cock into the man.

Dick moaned out loudly, his moans devolving into pleasured whines as Jason hammered his prostate with every thrust.

"God! Jaybird!" Dick cried out. Jason reached down and enlaced his fingers with Dick's and in one final, hard thrust, he came deep inside his husband. His hips kept working, kept thrusting until Dick screamed and came hard. Jason huffed, his movements slowly ceasing before he finally pulled out and fell onto the bed beside Dick. Dick's breath started to level and he stared at Jason with a smile on his face.

"I love you," Dick murmured. Jason smiled at him and leaned down for a kiss.

"Love you too, Dickie," he replied, wrapping his arms around him and pulling him closing, ignoring the mess for the moment.

"And Jaybird?"

"Hm?"

"Happy birthday."
