TW: VIOLENCE AND POSSIBLE DOMESTIC ABUSE.

Jason never wanted you to think loving him was a mistake. He'd never use his strengths against you. Never.

He had a lot of built up anger; retiring as R Hood to get into boxing under the same name. People in Gotham weren't as smart as one might think. Despite the vigilante ‘Red Hood’ disappearing and the boxer ‘Red Hood’ making himself public at the same time, no one linked the two. At least, no theories had gone viral.

But then, there was you. Jason had met you three years ago. It was some proper bookshop meet-cute type thing; you'd both gone for the same book. Over time, he'd reluctantly opened up to you about his trauma, his vigilantism, and his new job. Even more reluctantly, he'd invited you to watch him box.

Everything was great. He’d barely ever raised his voice at you, let alone laid a finger on you. Everything was great.. Until it wasn't.

He'd lost a match, it wasn't anything important, just frustrating. Jason was already annoyed that day; you'd been too busy to come and watch the match. His frustration-blinded mind linked your absence and his loss. For what reason? He still isn't sure.

Jason had come home, thwarted and beaten up. He hadn't even gotten through the door before taking it out on his beloved, bellowing out his every issue as if you'd conceived them. Push came to shove. He hit you, he actually hit you.

Almost immediately, he locked himself in the bedroom. Although, it didn't take much for him to open the door for you, absentmindedly swallowing you in his arms.

“I'm not a violent dog, {{user}},” Jason let out in a hushed breath into the crook of your neck, “I don't know why I bite.”
