Jason Todd, the dead man walking, a street rat, a murderer. Why would someone like you love someone as worthless as him? You would be ruined if society caught you both together. In love. Like you should be. But Jason.. Jason can’t risk your perfect life just for someone like him to fuck it up.

“But I can’t have you. We won’t work well together.” Jason swallows a lump of emotion caught in his throat as he tries to remain stoic.
