[ jason laughs and john can't help but laugh himself. ]

You got that right because I'm sure as fuck no vigilante.

[ he's just... trying to survive, really. that's what it is at the end of the day for him.

looking over to jason then, he stares for a little before he catches himself chuckling softly, tongue swiping slowly over his bottom lip, ducking his head down. ]

Think we should probably get some food because if we end up getting all got and bothered on each other, pretty sure neither one of us is gonna wanna move to get food after.

Good. One less thing for me to worry about.

[He bumps John's shoulder, just watching him for a long moment too. It's nice to have John here in this space. A space that's now both of theirs.]

Yeah, okay... you're definitely right about that. I'm like this close to hauling you up on this table and doing all kinds of things to you.

I mean... I wouldn't say no to that. Just means ordering in is gonna have to be a thing.

[ It's said with a lazy roll of his head towards jason, eyebrows waggling and an amused little sound there on his lips. ]

But whatever you think is best, babe. I'm just... I don't know. Being here.

[ Jason groans, turning to face John's side, sliding a hand over his stomach. ]

You're killin' me, babe.

[He tugs on John's beltloop to pull him closer, leaning in to kiss him hard, but then he pulls back with a little laugh, detaching himself.]

Come on. This'll be fun, and when we get back we can fuck each other's brains out.

[ unable to help himself, he presses a soft laugh into that mouth as they kiss — as they momentarily fall into each other in a way that could be described as sweltering. when the kiss ends, he licks over his lips, grinning some at jason and pushing himself away from the table. ]

Gotta make the first night be a good one, right?

I'd say yeah, but every night with you is gonna be a good one.

[ He grins, snagging John's hand to pull him along. ]

Got everything you need?

[ letting himself be pulled, he nods. ]

Yep. Got the cash and the ass.

Sounds like the title of your sexy novel.

[Laughing, he leads them back out, locking up and making sure security is all set up again.]

Remind me to give you all the codes and shit so you can get in and out. And the keys. We should get you keys made while we're out, too.

Yeah? Might come in handy since I'm not as great at breaking in like you are.

[ he's just gonna say it, so. ]

I've had a lot of practice.

[He smirks, leading them down the street toward the closest store that he knows isn't gonna be a fucking arm and a leg. At least in this part of town there's more like that around. It's not the shittiest part of Gotham, where Jason's originally from, but there's nothing fancy about it either.]

Picking locks sure comes in fucking handy, though.

I bet it does.

[ throwing a faint smile over to him, he keeps himself alongside jason as they go, not at all familiar with the area, though that's just for the moment. hands sliding into his jacket pockets, he looks around, a habit he tends to do with being different and all. never mind the having been beat up a few times thing. ]

They don't happen to have no mutants spots around here, do they?

[ because... yeah. that's a thing alright. ]

No... not around here. Gotham is... It's built different, lets just put it that way. You can pretty much do anything and be anyone around here.

[Which sadly adds to the crime, but then what's the alternative? Maybe that's why people like Red Hood and Batman have to be out every night.]

Well. Better than not being welcome, I guess.

[ although it's not as if he'll be out looking to make much in the way of friends around here. ]

Yeah, it's definitely got its pros and cons. Like you being safer, but also... you know. Psychos who rip children's skin off to make dolls.

[ Maybe not the best way to go on about Gotham, but it's not like John doesn't already know the reputation of this place. ]

Every city's got their thing, though...

Yeah. Seems like it.

[ a glance over to jason, he keeps going with him — keeps taking a look around every now and then. he feels safe with jason. it's just... again, habit. ]

So what do you wanna get? [ he decides to change the subject. ] We lookin' at a lot of stuff or just to get us through tonight and the morning?

[ Jason always does the same. He surveys an area, makes sure he knows the exits, the ways out. Better to be safe than sorry.]

We can get stuff for a few day. Some stuff for sandwiches, maybe? I can make some pasta thing to last a few days? What do you like?

You mean besides you?

[ knocking his shoulder against jason's, he chuckles some, ducking his head for a moment. ]

I don't know. Maybe some easy shit? Frozen dinners, soups, hot dogs... though I'd prefer your meat in my mouth, but. You know.

Dork.

[Jason says affectionately, laughing as he bumps John right back. After that he slides his arm through the other man's, pulling him closer as they walk.]

I'd prefer my meat in your mouth too, but that can only sustain you for so long. What kinda frozen dinners would you get?

[ he absolutely lets himself be pulled in close. ]

I don't know. What do they got? Macaroni and cheese? Some veggie and chicken thing? Fettucine alfredo?

[ Good, cause he likes walking with John like this. It feels even nicer now, knowing they don't have to part. They're gonna go right back to the same place together and stay there. ]

So basically pasta shit. I can make that stuff from scratch and it'll be cheaper and last longer. I'm not just good at eggs, you know.

Oh, well excuse me.

[ it's said with a soft chuckle, clearly teasing. ]

You're gonna make us dinner tonight then if you think you're such hot shit chef work.

[ He huffs out a laugh at that, giving John an amused look. ]

Okay, but only if you'll be my helper. We can make dinner together. It'll be romantic.

You like romance, huh?

[ glancing over to jason there, he grins a little because... yeah. he knows jason is a bit of a sap. his writing he did for and of him that one time sure showed that. ]

Gonna have it by candlelight too?

...Yes. And you know it.

[ A bit of a sap? He's a total fucking sap and John brings it out of him so entirely. It always seems to be ok, though. ]

We've got enough candles now- you could totally put some on the table and I wouldn't say no.

[So yes, absolutely by candlelight. Extra romantic.]

Yeah, we definitely could.

[ smiling, he knocks his shoulder against jason's again, just enjoying the closeness between them right now and how fucking normal this seems to feel. funny, because john is far from normal. ]
