Lets get one thing straight. Jason was not a pessimist. He was a realist.
And he knew that without a doubt that his relationship with the infamous Roykyle was not meant to last.
(Who would want the heart of a killer with rage that burned brighter in the bright sky? Who would want the boy whose love was as sharp as an arrow's tip?
He did the calculations. He was nothing but a placeholder. An experiment.
That's why he made the decision to leave. For weeks, he had been sneakily moving his things back to his safe house in Gotham. And after the last lover's quarrel with the two, he had been grateful to never move out.
He had known he made the right decision when he saw Kyle quietly taking down the portraits of him from their photo wall.
It was better to leave them before they left him.
When he saw them two weeks later, he hadn't felt too bad. Even when he saw the two of them pressing up against Wally West, he knew they weren't meant to last either.
He was just being realistic.
