[ it's good that she likes it, cause sometimes it comes out in droves. he's not doing it to hide anything right now, though. he just feels a little better about things. about himself, and maybe this thing they've got going on- whatever it is. ]

Okay.

[he lets out a soft breath, looking down at her lips when her hand moves into his hair. fuck, this is how they got in trouble last time. he licks his lips, then pulls back away from her forehead so he can really look at her.]

So here's the thing... I really wanna kiss you, but... I'm not the kinda guy who just goes around kissing people. People who are with someone else. I feel so fucking guilty about last time, Dawn. It's tearing me apart.

If you're not with him then you need to tell him that. I don't wanna be that kinda person, ok? But I don't wanna push you to do anything either, because I don't know... I don't know what this is, or what it can be. I don't even know if we should.

[She lets out a soft sigh but doesn't remove the hand in his hair, instead she pulls it through his tangle of curls and then does it again, smoothing it back as she nods.]

I don't know what this is either I just know that I want it and I want you, Jason. You make me feel....

[She pauses and then clears her throat, forcing herself to get back on track and not lost in his eyes.]

But you're right. I don't want to kiss you if it makes you feel torn up like that. I'll deal with Hank.

[ he reaches up and pushes her hair back, tucking it behind her ear, leaving his hand there to caress he cheek with his thumb. he lets out a soft, shaky breath, but it's a happy one. she wants him. ]

Just think about it, okay? Do what's right for you. I don't want you to rush this and then feel like you made a big mistake. I'm not... I'm not someone you should give things up for.

From:

[The fact that he is urging her not to rush and to do what's right for her only helps cement her feelings for him and she smiles and leans her face into his hand.]

I fully disagree with that statement.

[She says and lifts her eyes to look into his.]

I know I can't kiss you but can you stay for a while longer? And hold me?

From:

theotherobin

I know you do, and that's sweet, but. I just want you to think about that part too, okay?

[he keeps his thumb moving across her skin, just looking at her. he was so fucked up over everything that happened earlier, and then so scared when she got hurt tonight. but now he feels relieved. he feels like there's some hope.]

Yeah, I can. Dick said he was gonna come back down and check on you in like...

[he looks over at the time on one of the monitors.]

Forty minutes. I can stay till then? That okay?

From:

dawn_is_breaking

[She's too tired and too happy to argue with him about his insistence that he isn't worth giving things up for so instead she just nods.]

Yeah.

[She says and scoots over in the medical bed, making room for him to lay down with her.]

Yeah, that's more than okay. That would be really nice.

From:

[ Jason kicks his shoes off and climbs into the bed carefully so as not to jostle her around too much, sitting down next to her. he fluffs up her pillow a little before sliding his arm around her neck so he can pull her close to him. ]

This okay? You're not hurting, are you?

From:

dawn_is_breaking

[She smiles at the way he fluffs up her pillow, it's sweet, especially since she doesn't bother using it. Instead she nuzzles her head into the crook of his arm and chest and slides her arm around his waist.]

Nope. This is perfect, thank you.

[She says and sighs, her body starting to relax and her heart finally feeling light.]

From:

theotherobin

[ he's a little tense as he glances towards the door, but no one's coming in for a while... he hopes. but the way she nuzzles into him, relaxing the way she does, he can't help but do the same.

he lets his fingers slide up and down her arm, letting his head rest against hers. ]

Thanks. For today. I just realized I never even said thank you for what you did. I'd trade spots with you in an instant though, I hope you know. But... I'm still grateful for what you did.

From:

dawn_is_breaking

[She closes her eyes and focuses on the feeling of his fingers sliding up and down her arm.]

You're welcome and I know you would.

[She gives him a small squeeze.]

I hope you know how grateful I am for what you did for me, stopping that guy and hanging onto me when I was hurt.

From:

theotherobin

[ laying here with her, he can feel himself start to relax more and more, the stress of the day finally releasing into tiredness. he doesn't want to fall asleep though. he's still nervous about Dick or Hank coming back.

he wishes he would just not give a shit, but he does. ]

Of course. I'd do anything to protect you... even though I know you'd hardly ever need me to. Guess this just means we're good at lookin' out for each other, huh.

From:

dawn_is_breaking

[Hank and Dick are the furthest things from her mind right now, even if they did come into the room she doesn't know if she could muster the energy to care. Not when she feels so comforted and held by Jason.]

Mmmmm. Yeah, exactly.

[She says sleepily and nuzzles against him even more, she can feel herself starting to drift back down into a deep sleep but there's no fear this time. No pain. She's safe in Jason's arms.]

From:

theotherobin

[Jason cares. he knows how terribly that would fuck things up, and that's not how he wants this to be, especially now that he knows she has feeling for him too. he wants to be able to hold on to that.]

Get some sleep, ok? I'll wake you before I gotta go.

[as much as he wouldn't want to wake her, he also knows it's better not to wake up alone and wonder where the other person went. he'd hate that.

he wants to tell her that he loves her, but it's a lot right now, so he drops a kiss into her hair instead.]

From:

dawn_is_breaking

Okay...thank you.

[She says and makes a soft noise when she feels him kiss her head, a small smile tugging at the corners of her lips as she falls into a restful slumber.]
