Something short and sweet because I really needed some fluffy Jason.

-It took you a while to realize that Jason Todd doesn’t say “I love you”

-At first it bothered you, a lot. Because your boyfriend wouldn’t say those three words to you.

-The first time you had said it out loud was  on a night when it was just the two of you hanging out in his apartment.

-You said “I love you” and Jason just stared at you with wide eyes. There was nothing but silence for a moment and you felt your face heat up.

-You told him he didn’t have to say it back. You could understand if he wasn’t there yet. Jason had opened and closed his mouth, he was trying to force himself to say it.

-But you stoped him, because you didn’t want him to tell you like this. You wanted true genuine feelings. Not for him to say it just because you did.

-Jason didn’t look happy for the rest of the night, and you could tell the conversation bothered him. And it made you feel like shit, because you figured this signified the end. If he couldn’t love you back.

-You went home that night grumpy and upset. You lay in bed wide awake thinking about Jason.

-You really thought your relationship with Jason was going well. He opened up about parts of himself, told you about his death and resurrection. To share something that personal, you had thought that meant he felt the same way you did.

-It was then that you realized he had been saying “I love you” for months now.

-He says it when he grabs your hand, his large hand encompass yours completely and you feel warm. He says it when he gently squeezes your hand when he realizes you excited or when he rubs his thumb across the back of your hand when you’re nervous.

-Jason says “I love you” when he comes to you with a book in hand that he thinks you might like. Or when he shows you a poem that reminded him of you.

-Jason says it when you two are together in bed, in every searing kiss and every moan. When he looks into your eyes and when he drops his head to nibble at the crook of your neck.

-Jason has trouble with expressing his emotions, after everyone that had hurt him in the past, so of course he had trouble saying three little words.

-But you understood now.

-There are millions of ways to say “I love you” you just have to be willing to listen.
