At night Jason watched her from the shadows, it wasn't time for him to reveal himself to the people he once called family. He watched how her body twisted as she jumped over two of Riddler's goons, she landed on her toes. Graceful. Just like always. He couldn't help the smile that came to his face as he watched her.
He felt like he was fifteen again, he could smell the shampoo she uses, how her lips tasted like candy, how beautiful she was, hearing her gorgeous laugh, how soft her hand was in his. He was so in love with her before he even really knew what love was.
Jason remembered the day he died, he cried out for her, he cried to see her again. She was his last thought before everything went black and he was gone.
"Come on Y/N, harder." He said as they sparred "I don't want to hurt you!" She pouted "You're not going too!" Jason chuckled, Y/N took a deep breath before she swiped Jason's leg out from under him, before she got him into a hold. Jason easily broke out of it "Good shot but no." He chuckled and kissed her forehead before teaching her the right way. He taught her everything she knew
Y/N smiled as she taught Jason how to play guitar, she smiled softly as she showed him the right finger placements "Like- Like this?" He said softly as he badly played a chord, She laughed and gave him a smile "Good shot but no." She kissed his cheek before she taught him the right way. She gave him all she could.
Jason watched as she kicked a henchman's feet out from under him and putting them into a hold that knocked them out "That's my girl." He said to himself before he torn himself away before he could accidentally revealed himself.
He walked outside, his hood was pulled up as he walked down the street, he watched as couples walked past, laughing, holding hands, kissing. He let out a scoff, why couldn't he be happy with her? Why did God doom him to be unhappy for ever? Maybe cause he was a dead guy walking.
Jason let out a soft sob as he held a picture of her and him together in his hands, they were about fourteen, they were dressed in their costumes, him in his robin uniform, her in Huntress costume. "God damn it! Get it together Jay!" He yelled and threw the picture frame before he ran his hands over his face. He sighed and went to pick up the broken glass. He ran his finger over her face, before he cradled it in his hands and sighed.
The idea of ever being with her again seemed bleak, like all the love had gone bad due to one event. That his world was tattooed black. But their love wasn't tainted. He was.
He watched as she laughed and kissed Roy Harper while they were hanging out at a park by Jason's apartment. He knew that Y/N moved on, but of all the people, it had to be his best friend? He watched as her lips were curled into a smile, a small crinkle of her nose. He so badly wanted her back but he knew Roy would take good care of her.
Jason watched her from the shadows, how graceful she was, how every punch, every kick, held so much emotion. How she could take down a whole room of enemies in seconds. A single tear rolled down Jason's cheek, hidden by his red helmet. She had moved on and he had to accept that. She would always be one of the best chapters in his life, but everything has to come to an end. He grappled away.
Y/N looked up right as he was grappling away, a name rolled off her tongue. "Jason." She said quietly, a name she hadn't uttered in years. She recalled a moment, it was shortly after Jason's first encounter with the Joker, when they learned about Joker's days as the red hood.
Jason sat with his head in her lap as they sat on the grass "Red hood is such a cool name Y/N, too bad joker's dumb ass had to ruin it. You know after I'm done being Robin, maybe I'll become the Red Hood, but better" He smiled as he looked up to her "Whatever you want darling." She leaned down and kissed his forehead before she ran her fingers through his hair.
Y/N could feel her heart pounding in her chest at the thought of Jason being alive, she knew that if she told anyone they'd think she was insane and commit her to Arkham. She knew that this was something she'd need to do on her own.
Digging up the past has two sides. There's the plus side that you remember things that have long since been forgotten, but the negative was the same thing. Some people are scared to remember, to never look behind them, never reflecting on life's events, not for a second. Y/N was about to dig up a lot of things from the past to find Jason and that terrified her. Our brains may lie to us but our hearts never do. She knew in her heart that Jason Peter Todd, her first love, her first kiss, her first everything, was alive, and she was going to find out.
