[ Jason sits there thinking and thinking and beating himself up and then telling himself off up on the roof for a good, long time. part of him hopes that Dawn comes up here eventually, but he knows she won't. he said he needed some space and she's good at respecting that.
at respecting him.
he doesn't deserve that either, he knows that much for sure. but... that's not how this works. that's not how she is. that's not how they are with each other- and when and how that happened, he doesn't know.
and now... she called him attractive. she suggested they have more sleepovers together. she touches him in such an affectionate way. She misses Hank, his brain tells him- but he also remembers her telling him how relieved she felt that it was over. he's so confused.
but sitting up here without her isn't helping to un-confuse him, and maybe that's just it. he needs her here. he was never very good with space anyway, and in the end it isn't doing a whole lot of good. so he finally gets himself up, does a little more stretching up here on the roof, and then he heads back downstairs.
before he leaves though, he plucks a rose from the blooming bush and brings it down with him.
by the time he heads back down she's in the bathroom. he approaches slowly and slides the rose in the curl of the doorknob, then goes to heat up the pizza and make a nice salad to go with it, just to give himself something else to do. ]
