    Summary

    "Click."
    Jason doesn’t flinch. Doesn’t even look down at the pistol pressed into thigh, right above the rope keeping him bound to the cold metal chair. Black Mask leans in,
    “Eight chambers, one bullet.” he drives the gun in harder, “How lucky are you feeling, Red Hood?”
    Jason sets his jaw, breathing hard through his nose. He couldn’t answer that if he wanted to, with the wad of fabric shoved behind his teeth and tied in place. It’s a bad situation. A stupid situation, tied up for Roman Sionis in just his cargo pants and his mask. But he doesn’t show his hand. He glares right into Roman’s eyes.
    Pull the damn trigger. See if he flinches.

    Summary

    "It is red. It's identical to your favorite at the manor, the one in the reading nook in the upstairs library. I couldn't bare to part with the real one, so I bought another and put it out there. It's selfish of me, to keep that from you. I'm sorry."

    It's a juvenile thing to worry over and it hits Jason, square in the throat, that it's juvenile because Bruce buried his fourteen year old son. Because it's exactly the thing Jason used to get in fights over: food, blankets, sweatshirts, resources he wasn't used to having. Jason's so tall now he probably wouldn't fit under the throw anyway, and Jason's nose itches when he realizes that he can't exactly call his dad to tell him that.

    "Merry Christmas, Jason. I hope you're warm. I hope you're safe."

    He isn't safe. He can never seem to get warm, even though it normally pushes ninety degrees in the desert. He feels marginally better at night, when the sun dips and the frigid wind starts to blow. At least then, it makes more sense to be cold.

    or; Bruce Wayne keeps calling his dead son's phone near Christmas time, but maybe he's not as dead as he thinks.

    Summary

    Jason Todd sits by his motorcycle under a highway passage, knees to his chest and head in his hands as he sobs.

    They're gone. Artemis. Bizarro. The people who made him feel like he belonged when the others left. The girl he loved, and the boy thing that was close enough to be considered family. Roy, his best friend, is doing his own thing, and he never really was very close to Starfire. 

    And here he is. Sobbing, empty, and alone again. His helmet lay discarded on the muddy grass beneath him, the gloves on his hands soaked with tears. The cars above him drive past, completely unaware of the broken boy beneath them. Why does he always end up alone? 

    Every. Damn. Time.

    Summary

    “You, uh… you busy?” he had asked, glancing at the pile of paperwork on Bruce’s desk.

    Bruce had closed the file, set his glasses down, and leaned back in his chair. “Depends. You offering me an alternative?”

    Jason had shrugged, but the flicker of hope in his eyes betrayed him. “Maybe. Thought we could, I don’t know— do something. Just us for the day.”

    Bruce had agreed instantly.

     
    ————

    OR

    Bruce and Jason spends time together and does some father son bonding activities. Something bad happens when they come home from the theater.

    (No one dies XD)

    “I’ll kill you, you hear me? I swear to god I’ll do it.”

    “I know,” Dick assures him. “Now, are you gonna give me a boost or what?”
