    Summary

    “Hey,” says the kid. He’s painted in green, yellow, red, and he’s wiggling back and forth in his seat.

    “Hey,” Jason says without turning around. “I made french toast. You like french toast?”

    The half-smile turns into a wide grin. “Fuckin’ duh.”

    Because of course he does. Because Jason has always liked french toast.

    Summary

    "Oh." Nightwing said. "It's your first time."

    "My what?" Jason said.

    "It's like 'The Time Traveler's Wife.' Except I'm not your wife. Not that I'd be a bad wife, but not for you. That'd be gross - Wait, is that movie even out, yet?" Nightwing rambled, and Jason stood up on wobbly legs. "Shoot. I guess it doesn't matter. Not relevant -"
