Red Star

was going to say “at least i’m a better person than my father” but that’s? such a low bar, really? but it’s also not a lie, technically, so. better person than my father! at least. just casually stepping over that nearly-on-the-floor bar

my aesthetic: pretending to be emotionally unavailable and detached while secretly obsessing over everything

you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied. you lied.

There’s a momentary pause in which he thinks this might be a problem–maybe. Usually it isn’t and even if it was, Jason doesn’t think he’d stop. But then of course he wins out, a matter of which he is subsequently horrendously smug about. Grinning ear to ear and leaning back against him all the same. “Probably. Let me savor my victory, damn it.”

In all fairness, that is one of his favorite shirts— but Jason is his favorite everything, so perhaps he can let it slide. Especially when there are pancakes being made. So, with a low grumble, he presses in close to his (shorter) husband’s back, slips arms around his stomach and rests his chin on the muscle and bone of one shoulder. “Savor away, sweetheart. Did you put blueberries in those?”
