Summary
“Wait—Littlewing, wait.” Dick’s voice breaks in, a little rushed, like he’d almost missed the chance. The name—the one Jason hasn’t heard in years—lands hard, stirring up a storm of half-buried memories and a gnawing ache that he thought he’d outgrown.
Jason swallows. “You haven’t called me that in a while.”
The silence stretches, thick with everything unspoken. Jason remembers that night.
Dick had looked him straight in the eye and called him by that name, not Robin. Anything but Robin. The rejection of that name had stung, had torn at something fragile he hadn’t even realized he was protecting. But he’d tried anyway. He still remembers the sting, the silent promise to himself that he’d forge his own path, whether or not he fit the mold Dick had set.
He still isn’t Dick. He’ll never be Dick. And sometimes, on nights like this, he’s still not sure if he’s okay with that.
A frustrated sigh cuts through his thoughts, and he can picture Dick on the other end, probably rubbing a hand over his face in that old habit he had when words failed him.
“Let me come with you.” Dick’s voice is almost pleading.
___
Or, Jason and Dick go on a trip together.
