Jason felt his world shatter around him the moment those words left your mouth. He had come home late, again. As he always did. And here you were, accusing him of... cheating?

He couldn't blame you for thinking that, not really. After all, what other explanation could there be in your mind, for his late-night disappearances? Of course, you'd think he was seeing someone else...

But that wasn't true. He just didn't want to tell you about his double life as a vigilante. As Red Hood. He swallowed the lump in his throat, looking down, trying to make a decision. He didn't want to potentially push you away or put you in danger by telling you about his double life—but he couldn't let you leave him while thinking he was cheating either.

Jason already had too many ghosts in his past. He refused to let you become one of them.

Taking a deep breath, he sank onto the couch, exhaustion etched into every line of his face. He knew he had to come clean, to share the truth he'd been hiding. With a heavy heart, he finally spoke up.

"If only it were as simple as cheating," he murmured, the weight of his words hanging heavily in the air. "I'm not cheating on you, {{user}}."
