so, so what if when jason's living on the streets he one day finds a hoodie, a sweater, something that'll keep him warm now that the days are getting colder and his own clothes are becoming more threadbare. and this sweater, i'm gonna go with sweater, is made of genuine cashmere wool. jason doesn't know that, but it feels incredible against his skin and it's warm without being uncomfortable.

it also smells incredible, it smells of comfort and safety and laughter, jason doesn't know how a sweater can do that, but it does and it calms something inside him that has been restless since he got on the streets.

he knows that he stole it, it was on a bench in the park near the library and he knows that one of the people milling around probably came back to the bench to grab their sweater only to find an empty bench. but it had called to him, he had been looking through the trash can next to the bench to see if there was some food, but then that smell had hit his nose and suddenly he had the sweater in his grime covered hands and it felt like the best thing he had ever touched. he couldn't put it back after that. it was getting colder and he was shivering more and more during the night, and they could afford to buy a new sweater couldn't they? but he couldn't so it would be alright if he just took it, right?

so jason brings back the sweater and pulls it on and immediately feels settled, even in the small nook he found that's barely hidden from sight.

and then not long after batman finds jason jacking the tires off of the batmobile, and he's taken by surprise not only by the gumption of this kid but also because the kid is wearing a sweater he knows dick lost when hanging out with barbara a few weeks back.

even more so when jason gets close enough to hit him and he gets a whiff of two scents so perfectly intertwined that if he didn't know one of them intimately he would've just passed it off as the kid's own scent.

where dick's face is sharp and more defined in a sense, jason's cheeks are round like omg i'm crying he has chubby cheeks guys-- chubby cheeks!!!!

i am now in love with the hc that jason has a full, round face. it makes him look very youthful (which he is!!!) and adorable. catches people off guard. i like to think that his body type is similar to those dudes who are buff but also carry a lot of fat
