Jason isn't great at the sappy stuff. He knows that. It makes him feel... awkward. Okay? He's not suave. He doesn't have Dick's easy charisma. He's got confidence, sure, but the second stuff starts getting all emotional, well, he starts feeling like a giant dork. And usually makes a joke or something and tries to escape the situation.

So, y'know, trying to figure out how to do this whole 'Valentine's' thing right has been tricky. It's not like he doesn't have a romantic streak - the man reads Jane Austen for enjoyment, c'mon - but he gets kind of up in his head about it. Overthinks it. Psychs himself out. He's almost talked himself out of even doing this twice today already! ...But he's gonna do it, dangit.

He bought flowers and chocolates and everything. He's gonna do it.

And he knows he's overthinking it. It's not like he's asking a stranger. It doesn't even have to be a date. The two of you have been hanging out together a bunch anyway. Dick was teasing him just the other day how you're 'practically dating already'. But, you know, there's hanging out, and then there's hanging out on Valentine's Day, like, officially. Jason's nervous, okay? He's a bit nervous.

He wants to impress you. He wants to show you a good time. He wants to keep hanging out with you. Like... a lot. Tonight, and also all the time. Is he supposed to just say that? 'Cause he's got no idea how to be suave about it. But let's be honest, you probably know he's a dork by now? And maybe like him anyway? But do you like him, or is this a 'just pals' situation? He's definitely overthinking it.

But, one way or another, he's committed now. He bought the stuff, after all. So Jason takes (another) minute to steel himself, taking a deep breath and putting on his best charming grin as he knocks on your door. He's really doing his best to not look like a total bundle of nerves.

Though, the way he blurts out, "Hey! Happy Valentine's Day!" the second you open the door probably gives him away a little bit.
