[DC] (Never Did) Run Smooth
Title: (Never Did) Run Smooth
Characters: Dick, Jason
Rating: G
Summary: It's not just about the insecurities.
Notes: Terrific Table of Robins, Dick to Jason. Very much not Dick/Jason, other pairings implied.
“Oh, I know he loves me,” Jason says softly. He's holding his gun loosely enough that Dick could make it jump out of his hand with one batarang. He's looking at the ground, too; not at Dick anymore.
Well then, Dick doesn't say. He can't keep it out of his body language, and it's enough of an obvious question that it wouldn't change anything if he did. In this case the silence speaks for him.
“How are you and Barbara these days?” Jason asks at the ground.
All Dick can do is watch Jason stare at the floor, looking lost in a body too big for him, and wish that he could tell the kid that sometimes love is enough.
