Jason was taken aback by the shaky question. Whoever this Vlad person was made Danny anxious.
"You lied the first time I met you. You said your parents lived in Metropolis"
Danny's anxiety turned to anger and he stepped out from behind Jason.
"Yeah?! So what if I did lie?! Why would I tell a complete stranger anything?!??" Danny shouted.
"A seventeen year old kid-"
Both Jason and Danny flinched.
"Should not be alone without supervision"
Danny glared at Bruce In a way that almost made Jason shiver.
"What else do you know about me" it wasn't a question.
"Vlad didn't say anything more than that, I would rather hear it from you"
Danny gritted his teeth.
"Vlad won't tell you if I don't want him to. Go home Batman, go be a "hero" somewhere else" Danny spat before stalking off.
Jason wanted to go after him but he knew he had questions to answer.
"What your relationship with Danny"
"Friends, not that it's any of your business, how could you interrogate him like that!" Jason confronted him.
"Vlad was worried about Danny-"
"-Well tell him not to be, I'm taking care of him" Jason said before headed in the same direction.
Bruce frowned underneath his mask. Jason had yet again, done something strange and unexpected.
Danny sat on his bed twisting wires in rage.
"How DARE he! Who did Batman think he was, such a jerk! Jerk, jerk,jerk,jerk stupid f****g rodent, uergggg!" Danny ranted.
Jason knocked, but there was no answer. Carefully, Jason picked the lock and walked in. It was the tiniest apartment Jason had ever seen and he quickly found Danny.
"-stupid f****ng rodent-" was the first thing he heard.
Jason couldn't hold in his laughter. Danny looked up hastily at the noise.
"RED HOOD!" Danny exclaimed surprised.
Jason coughed as he tried to dial back his laughter.
"Ahem, hello Danny."
Danny sulking looked down.
"I bet you have questions now"
Jason smiled.
"Mmm, no. Not unless you want to tell me"
Danny sighed and fell back onto his bed.
"It's so hard" Danny complained.
"You live all alone now?" Jason asked sensing that Danny was opening up.
Danny blinked away the tears he felt coming on.
"Yeah. My mom and dad, they died In a villain attack. So did my two best friends"
Jason frowned underneath his mask. Danny must've had such a hard time. All on his own too. Jason picked up a strand of Danny's hair and let it fall.
"I still have my sister, but she far away at college at the moment"
"But I'm not all alone" Danny said closing his eyes.
Jason froze his hand inches from Danny's hair.
"I recently met this guy, Jason. Hes nice and handsome and smarter than he pretends to be. Sometimes I think he purposely breaks things just so I can fix it" Danny chuckled wistfully.
Danny turned his head to look at Red Hood and instead his lips ran into a familiar set. Danny's eyes widened and then relaxed in content.
Jason pulled away gently.
"Your Red Hood??!!" Danny said surprised.
Jason smiled smugly.
"I'm handsome, and smart" Jason teased.
Danny blushed.
"Stop, your so mean" Danny laughed at his own embarrassment.
"Make me" Jason taunted.
Danny narrowed his eyes. Suddenly he wrapped his arms around Jason's neck and pulled him onto a kiss.
Jason kissed him back.
Danny woke up the next day cuddled in Jason's arms.
He yawned and looked at Jason.
"I know your staring" Jason mumbled. Danny blushed.
Jason eyes opened and Danny felt even more embarrassed. Jason pulled Danny closer into a tight hug.
Danny smiled as they snuggled.
"So comfortable" Danny murmured.
"Morning sleepy head" Jason said.
Danny looked at Jason and Jason almost lost it. He knew Danny was cute, but this was too much.
"How can you be comfortable, I'm Red Hood" Jason teased.
"My Red Hood"
Jason's heart did a little flip flop.
"Y-yeah. I'm yours" Jason said into Danny's hair.
Danny's stomach grumbled and Danny buried his face in Jason's chest embarrassed.
"Aw, are you hungry?" Jason asked. He picked Danny up and carried him to the little kitchen area.
"How can you have nothing in your fridge?" Jason asked.
Danny shrugged and yawned.
"This wont do. How can my boyfriend go hungry?" Danny hid his face on his hands.
He wasn't expecting Jason to call him his boyfriend so soon. Maybe they were moving too fast with this.
Then again, would having Jason as a boyfriend really be such a bad thing?
Jason glanced back at Danny subtly. He seemed happy.
"Come on!" Jason said handing Danny a pile of clothes.
Danny looked at them curiously. Then at Jason.
"I'm taking you out to eat, but I don't think you want to go in the clothes you slept in" Jason explained.
Danny grinned at Jason.
"Thank you"
Jason looked away quickly as the heat rose to his cheeks. How could Danny be so adorable!
Still, there was something else about Danny that wasn't quite..normal. when Danny was around the pits were calm.
His pit rage seemed to be cured just by being with Danny. And he had the effect of making Jason immediately trust him.
What was he? Is he magic? Some kind of meta?
It would explain Bruce's interest in Danny.
Still, of Bruce tried to meddle in his and Danny's relationship he would-
"I'm ready Jason" Danny said as he came back into the room.
He had his hair pulled back again and a red an white shirt with a black jacket and jean pants with holes.
