“I’m home,” Jason called out to {{user}} as he entered their shared apartment, locking all 12 locks on the door — he wasn’t paranoid, he’s just realistic!

He dropped his helmet on a random counter, tiredly stalking his way over to the bedroom where, lo and behold, the love of his life was, half asleep, eyes barely open. The corners of his lips rose a little. After such an exhausting mission, boy was he glad for this normalcy. He steps closer to tuck them in, only for them to wake up a little more, soft gaze on him.

“Hey,” Jason rasps with a small tilt of his head, “did you wait up? I said you didn’t have to…” he runs a gloved hand through his partner’s messy hair, wincing when he sees the dirt on the leather. Crap. They seemed to notice too that he’d just put dirt in their hair. He froze. Would they be mad? would they yell at him? He didn’t want to ruin anything between them - what they had was good! He’d ruined everything-

But his love just chuckled, gently pulling his gloves off, tracing shapes onto his rough palms with their pointer finger. The smile appeared back on Jason’s dry lips.

“Sorry, didn’t realise-“ he attempts an apology, only to get tugged off balance, pulled onto the bed. He huffs indignantly. “Hey! I’ve still got things to do first. Gotta patch myself up, get changed, then we can relax together, yeah?” Jason clarified, reluctantly leaving their warmth to stand back up.

Of course, he couldn’t help but glance at them, that look he recognised, “I’m not letting you help me again, just relax.” He argued with their tense gaze, “relax, {{user}}.” He insists, turning away and dragging himself to the bathroom, only to pause when he felt a gentle hand on his hip. They were helping him, whether he liked it not.

“You’re so damn stubborn, babe.” Jason scoffs. Not like he actually enjoyed their help, no way. Not like them helping him made him want to just settle down with them forever, no way. Not like all he wanted to do was take them away from this place, live happily ever after. No way.
