"And I can't have one singular chocolate chip?"
Jason, your regular customer who lives in the complex across the street pleads. His almost-neon green eyes water as he juts a rosy lip out, like a small child.
"You're really not gonna leave until I give you one? Because I really don't have all day Jace." You giggle, walking closer to him and flicking his nose with a slight grin.
Jason sighs dreamily, leaning his chin into his hand. "I'd have to be dead for me to willingly leave this slice of heaven, especially when i get to see my favorite lady."
"Don't joke about that in a place like this Jay, and stop shamelessly flirting with the gorgeous baker."
"Aren't you the baker?" He grins, raising an eyebrow at you.
"Well regardless I couldn't stop anyway, not when you're this cute."
He finishes, his eyes boring into the back of your head as you work, tracing over the shape of your body at least once or twice.
You turn around and slip a small cherry thumbprint cookie into his mouth. It was part of a newer addition for valentines day coming up, not that many holidays could be celebrated in the gloomy melting pot that is Gotham City.
"Yet here I am, feeding you like a cat everyday. What if I had poisoned that?" You tease, smoothing the hair away from his stupidly perfect face.
A dusty red blush claws its way to Jason's cheeks, almost as red as the jam from the pastry you gave to him.
"Was it good?" You ask unbeknownst of the internal fire you'd set ablaze in Jason's stomach. Although he didn't show it through words, his body language definitely said otherwise. He prays to some higher being that you don't notice the way he shifts in his seat.
"Horrible. Bad. Could definitely be better." He jokes, licking the crumbs that had been left off of his face.
"You keep messing around with me Peter and one of these days I'm gonna bite your head off for it." You grit out, lips quirked up in feigned annoyance.
"I'm just jokin' ma! I'd never say you had a single bad pastry in my life. And if I do, that ain't me." He swears, putting a hand over his heart. It was fairly common for you to use his full name but it came as a shock every time.
He catches your hand, placing a chaste kiss to the tip of your ring finger, forest green eyes never leaving yours.
Now it was your turn for unresolved feelings. Your face felt as if a thousand miniature ovens were set to the highest temperature all at the same time.
You whip around, heading towards the back exit muttering to yourself about having to go pick up some flour or something along those lines.
"Well I'll see you later ma call me if you need me, but I trust you know the drill!" Jason waves, red and black keys wrapped around his finger, resting in the center of his palm.
"See ya Jay!" You call out, smiling awkwardly as you adjust your apron. Jason leaves your shop, looking back at it one more time. He sees your figure stumbling about the shop once more.
"Sooo.. when were you gonna tell me about this little relationship you got going on? Hm?"
Jason jumps in his skin, which is unusual since he isn't just Jason Todd but also Gotham's one and only Red Hood.
"JESUS– Goddamn it! Dick, I thought I told you not to sneak up on me like that."
Dick smiles, his dimples more prominent than the stench of crime that falls over Gotham every night and day.
"You going to answer my question Jay birdie?" Dick questions, ruffling his kid brothers hair.
