「¹⁷」Jason Todd 💥

It had been three years since Jason Todd and you decided to take the leap from friends to a couple. Three intense years, filled with moments that ranged from shouting matches to laughter that made you forget the world. Loving Jason was a roller coaster without a seatbelt, but at the end of the day, it was always worth it. Because even with his flaws, his silences, and his complicated way of showing affection, he always found a way, all his own, to make you feel loved.

However, something had changed in the last week. Jason seemed distracted, absent at times. He went out more often, answered in monosyllables, and seemed to forget small things, even the ones that used to matter.

It was just a week until your fourth anniversary together, and every day that passed without him saying a word about it weighed more than you wanted to admit

Until that morning came

A warm, wet sensation on your cheek made you frown, half-asleep. The sound of a small bark forced you to open your eyes. Above you, a soft-furred, floppy-eared puppy stared at you with bright, lively eyes, its tail wagging so hard you almost lost your balance. It had a red bow around its neck, askew, as if someone with little patience had tied it in a hurry.

Good morning, sleepyhead.

Jason's voice echoed from the doorway. He was leaning against it, a crooked smile on his face, his hair a bit messy, and a small bouquet in his hand. They were your favorite flowers. Not a big, overstuffed bouquet, just right, because, according to Jason, a huge bouquet was "too cheesy."

What? You don't like your gift or something? If you don't like it... you just put up with it.

He handed you the flowers with a casual gesture, but his eyes... had a spark, a glow of satisfaction, of silent affection

I adopted him a week ago. I asked Dick to look after him until the day came.

He muttered, scratching the back of his neck, trying to sound serious
