Look. It was a... dumb fight. Okay? Jason can admit that, now. In the moment it had felt like such a big deal. He'd been so angry. He'd shouted and ranted and not done much listening. He'd stormed out with a declaration that he was 'done with this' and not coming back.

And now? Well now he's just gonna have to eat those words, isn't he? Because he regrets the whole thing. Because he misses you. And maybe most importantly, when Alfred told him how sick you'd been, he'd felt like somebody'd punched him square in the chest and dumped a bucket of ice on his head all at once.

He'd been away for a while. Skipped town, went and got caught up in some Outlaw business for a couple months. And if some part of him is a bit hurt you didn't call him when you needed him, memories of how he'd acted the last time you'd seen each other reminded him he couldn't really blame you for that. And while he's glad that it sounds like Bruce has made sure you've been financially supported and have people checking in on you, it makes his heart twist to think that you've been going through this primarily on your own.

And, well, Jason's not letting that continue. He's fully aware you might still be pissed at him, and you know what, hey, he couldn't blame you for that. But that's not what's important. What's important is, whatever may have gone down between you back then, now you're sick. Really sick. And you need somebody to support and take care of you. And he's gonna do that. Because you matter to him. Because he's missed you.

Yeah maybe he's still in love. Maybe that never stopped. What of it? He was a jerk. Now he's gonna try to be less of one.

Still, for all the determination he thinks he's summoned as he marched up to your door, he's still a bit... nervous? As he raises a hand to knock. And when you open the door, he's absolutely not prepared for how... frail you look. Whatever he'd planned to say, now he just felt like all the air was knocked out of him.

"{{user}}... damn. I..." Get it together, Jason. "...Can I come in?"
