[nomorefear]

[ her smile brings a small one to his face as well, but that sad look is still in his eyes. a lot of good his stupid, romantic heart has ever done for him. ]

That's... yeah. That's what I would've liked.

[dawn_is_breaking]

[The sadness she sees in his eyes makes her wish that she could make him see that he still has a chance to find someone out there, especially now that he's away from Gotham and Bruce and all his rules and secrets.]

I think that's really sweet.

[She says, her eyes flickering across his face. Noting the way his jaw curves and the slant of his small smile.]

[nomorefear]

It's something alright.

[he eyes her, letting out a small, self deprecating laugh. deep down he always knew he'd end up alone and he fought it for as long as he could, but now his secrets are even deeper and more sickening than before. he'd never do that to anyone.]

Sweet doesn't get you shit. It gets you fucked.

[dawn_is_breaking]

[She opens her mouth to argue with him again but instead chuckles and gives him a flirty grin.]

Isn't that part of the goal though?

...to get fucked?

[nomorefear]

[ he blinks at her, then laughs softly and shakes his head, dropping it down against the mattress. ]

Yeah, sure. That's part of the goal. Maybe better off if it's the whole goal and the only goal. Maybe I just need to go out and get laid.

[dawn_is_breaking]

[She feels a strange tightness in her stomach when he mentions going out to get laid, she doesn't want to think of Jason going out, picking up French women and bringing them back here. She doesn't want anyone else in this apartment except for the two of them and she tells herself to calm down, she knows he wouldn't do that, he would probably go to their place. And yet....she doesn't like that idea very much either.]

I mean...if you want, sure.

[She says, trying to keep her tone light.]

[nomorefear]

[ she fails. or maybe she wouldn't fail with anyone else, but Jason's good at picking up on these things, and there's something unnerving in her tone, behind the fake lightness.

he lifts his head, raising his eyebrows. ]

Of course I don't want to. I was joking.

[dawn_is_breaking]

[His raised eyebrows make her realize that he sees right past her false tone and she suddenly feels like an idiot, her cheeks go pink and it's her turn to drop her face down against the mattress, her hair spilling down around her.]

Right. Of course you were....sorry.

[nomorefear]

Don't be sorry.

[he says quietly, though he wonders what that tone was about. he knows he doesn't have a chance at anything out there anymore and she probably knows he doesn't either and was just trying to be nice about it? and here he is, being a jerk about her trying to be nice.]

Look, it's cool, ok? I know. Anyway, no one wants a guy with a mysterious giant bruise on his ass.

[dawn_is_breaking]

[He could have more than a chance out there, the women in Paris would happily eat him up, but here he is thinking he doesn't have a chance because of the huge bruise on his cute little ass. The ridiculousness of the situation hits her and she begins to giggle. She lifts her head up and makes the mistake of looking at him, his eyes are so serious but his body is still covered in ice packs and her giggles get worse.]

Oh Jason...I'm sorry....it's just.....

[She tries to say and then bursts out laughing.]

I'm not laughing at you, I'm laughing at....your poor butt.

[nomorefear]

[ good. that's what he wants her to think. that's what he wants her to laugh at. he doesn't want her to feel bad or be sorry for anything. ]

It's cool, laugh away. It's the butt of the joke anyway.

[dawn_is_breaking]

[She manages to get her laughter under control and she pushes back her hair, still smiling a little at the idea of anyone in Paris turning their nose up at Jason's butt purely because it's bruised.]

Thank god you don't have a pancake butt or else you could have broken something when you fell on it....

[nomorefear]

Can't believe you didn't laugh harder at my pun.

[he gives her a teasing look of slight offense, then glances back towards his butt.]

And now you're calling my butt fat, I can't believe this.

[dawn_is_breaking]

Sorry, it was a very cute pun.

[She says and then laughs again.]

I'm not calling it fat! There's not an once of fat on you.

[nomorefear]

Damn right it was.

[he snorts, wiggling a little so the ice packs slide off. the towel's there of course, but the curve of his butt can definitely be seen underneath.]

Too late. My ass is offended.

[dawn_is_breaking]

[She bites her lip to try and stop another burst of giggles at his cute little wiggle, glancing back as the ice packs slide off and trying not to notice the nice curve of his ass.]

Awww I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you. How can I make it up to you?

[nomorefear]

[ in the past he would have had a whole slew of colorful responses to that. right now he laughs softly and shakes his head. ]

Don't worry about it. You're already forgiven. Think I'm gonna get up and go shower though, for real this time.

[dawn_is_breaking]

[She smiles and nods because this time when he says he's going to shower it doesn't feel awkward or like he's trying to escape the situation, she stays where she is but covers her eyes with one of her hands.]

Okay, go for it. I promise I won't peek.

[nomorefear]

[ he gives a soft snort when she covers her eyes, but he's also thankful for it cause he can pull his underwear and pants up properly, buttoning up. ]

Okay, I'm decent. Thanks for all the ice and the gossip. I really feel like a teenage girl right now.

[dawn_is_breaking]

[When he says that he's decent she smiles and removes her hand.]

You're welcome, next time we do this I'll let you braid my hair and I'll paint your toe nails. That way you can get the full experience.

[nomorefear]

Oh wow, okay. I can't wait.

[he says with a small smirk, grabbing the many ice packs so he can help but them back in the freezer.]

We can eat the rest of the pizza for dinner yeah? Or I can cook something later, I'm cool with either.

[dawn_is_breaking]

We might as well eat the rest of the pizza, I'll pop it into the oven while you're in the shower.

[nomorefear]

I'm not that hungry yet. Maybe in a few hours?

[he's a quick shower taker anyway and they just ate.]

Think I'm just gonna take a nap after my shower and reset my body. I'm fine...but you know.

[getting hit by a truck is still pretty intense.]

[dawn_is_breaking]

Okay sure, I'll put it in the fridge then.

[When he mentions taking a nap she nods.]

Sure of course, did you want to use my bed?

[nomorefear]

...Sure, yeah. If that's okay? I don't want to keep you from moving around your own place by lazing on the couch in the middle of the day.

[or night, whatever time it is. they were hanging out on her bed the whole time yeah, but sleeping in her bed still feels a little awkward... mostly cause everything really smells like her and it's so...nice.

but he also doesn't want her to be tiptoeing around while he sleeps.]
