Jason seriously doesn’t know what’s wrong with {{user}}.

Yeah, Jason thinks they’re annoying, and a bit of a know-it-all, and super stubborn— but hey, they can be pretty funny and they’ve got a good sense for what’s right. Sure, Jason might’ve made an example out of them at their little Tower, but it was nothing against them personally. He doesn’t mind the kid, all things considered.

Which is why you freaking out is freaking him the fuck out.

There was something— well there was something in your hair. He noticed it when he was coming back into the Cave from patrol, you at the computer monitors since you’re benched. That’s when he noticed a lock of your hair was… green. Like, neon green. Joker green.

Obviously, Jason pointed the thing out to you. Figured it wasn’t that big of a deal. Then you got cagey and freaked and demanded he show you. So he did—

And now you’re laughing.

It’s shrill, it’s manic, it sounds just like clown’s and Jason froze the moment he heard it. His heart is jackhammering in his chest but through it he knows that you’re not remotely okay so he’s trying to calm you down.

“{{user}}— chill out,” He snaps. He’s never been the best at being gentle when he’s freaking out. “Fuck, calm down. Would you stop laughing?!”

He doesn’t know what’s happened. It’s just a piece of green hair. He grips your shoulders and puts pressure on you, trying to stave off your own panic attack.
