A Birthday

~ Jason Todd x GN!Reader ~

442 words, pure fluff, a quick fic for the lovely's birthday

A.N. - thought I'd write something to celebrate Jason's birthday! No particular AU or run in mind, but it is running with Red Hood being a part of the Batfam, not the Outlaws or his own gang <3

August 15th - 11:54PM

The Red Hood, one of Gotham’s famous–and their most infamous–vigilante, crept quietly through his dark apartment. It was time for patrol, and time for his night to really begin. Slipping out of the window to the fire escape, he crept up to the roof of his home. 

Where he was promptly greeted by a grumpy-looking acrobat in black and blue, arms crossed over his chest.

“Little Wing, what the hell are you doing?” “Going to my nightly Shakespeare reading, what the hell do you think I’m doing, Dick!” He responded sarcastically, not amused with the tone of his older brother. “Aren’t you supposed to be in Bludhaven, why are you spending your night on my rooftop?” Red Hood questioned as he pulled his namesake over his head, cloaking his black hair in a sheath of red fabric.

“I came back to take your shift tonight, Jay. You’re not on patrol, go enjoy the break with… you know who.” Nightwing winked, to which Jason stiffened.

He hesitated as he began his descent to the window he had shut behind him just a moment previous. As his older brother watched his cloaked head disappear below the edge of the roof, Dick heard the unmistakable.

“Thanks, Dick.”

August 15th - 11:58 PM

He shut the window behind him, and locked it with a quiet click. He removed his metal mask, placing it back in its place, a secret closet behind a false wall. The vigilante began to hide away the rest of his costume with it, stopping when he heard the footsteps behind him. 

“Jason?” A sleep-ridden voice asked.

Hands still grasping his hood, he turned toward the familiar voice. 

“You’re going out? Tonight?” They looked at him, tone almost calling disappointment into the air.

“No- I mean I was, but not anymore.” He smiled at them, scarred face warming. 

They rushed to embrace him, ignoring the cold of the metal body armor against them. Gloved hands wrapped around them, one gently rubbing their back. The two stood, embraced as one in the dark of their apartment for a quiet moment. A song, vague and muffled, began to ring from their bedroom, causing Jason to stiffen.

“What the hell…” he muttered, releasing them to investigate.

“Oh! That’s my phone- sorry for the scare, hun.” They grabbed his still-gloved hand as they spoke, stopping the man from getting too far away.

August 16th - 12:00 AM

They planted a kiss on his cheek, that quiet alarm still flowing through the house. 

“Happy birthday, Jason. I love you.”

He kissed them this time, pulling his partner close. 

“I love you, sweetheart. Thank you.”
