Jason couldn’t quite stop the hitch in his breath as Dick buried a hand in his hair and used the grip to tip his head back so he could deepen the kiss. Jason reacted in kind and slipped the hand that had been on the back of Dick’s neck up into his hair as he tightened the arm he had around the other man’s back. Dick shifted some of his weight onto his other forearm, so he wasn’t completely crushing Jason into the bed, without breaking the kiss. 

But Jason couldn’t help but tense up as Dick ground his hips against Jason’s thigh. 

Dick pulled back, breathing slightly faster than normal through his swollen lips. “Not tonight?”

“Not tonight.” Jason echoed. “Sorry.”

Dick just smiled softly as he readjusted how he was lying over Jason so his hips weren’t touching him anymore. “I thought I’d already told you to stop apologising, Jay.”

Jason shrugged as Dick gently nuzzled their heads together. 

“I’m happy just doing this, or cuddling up and watching a movie or reading, little wing.” Dick said before pressing a kiss to the side of Jason’s mouth. 

Jason lent into him. “I know, it’s just…”

“I know.” Dick said quietly. 

They’d had a lot of conversations over the past eight months about sex and what it meant to them both. It took a while, but Jason was eventually in a position that he could and wanted to try. Dick was exactly as Jason thought he would be; sweet and gentle and more than willing to take charge. Jason enjoyed it, and they’d started having sex on a semi-frequent basis. But Jason had to be in the right headspace for it and he was well aware that their sexlife was… lacking compared to most normal couples. Though, as Dick kept reminding him whenever he used that word, there was really no such thing as normal . 

“Hey.” Dick said, carding a careful hand through his curls to pull his attention back to him. “I can practically hear you thinking, care to share with the class?”

“I think you already know what I’m thinking about.” Jason said with a lopsided smile as he bumped his nose against Dick’s. 

Dick hummed. “You need another reminder about how perfectly happy I am with our relationship?”

Jason shook his head. “No, I know. It’s just…”

“Brains are weird.” Dick smiled. 

“Brains are weird.” Jason agreed, matching his smile. 

“Soooo, have you decided on which of the options you want to choose for the rest of the night?” Dick asked, still smiling. 

“What were the options again?”

“We can carry on making out, or we can have a cuddle night with books or a movie?”

Jason debated each one before answering. “ Or , we could watch a boring movie that inevitably ends up with us making out anyway.”

Dick laughed. “That’s definitely something I’m onboard with.”

Featured fic: Gay's the Word

This year's fic: Gay's Still the Word

Redbirdandbluebird23 made the move into writing slashfiction last year after almost a decade writing other fanworks. She mainly focuses on Jaydick, but has plans to introduce platonic Batfam works in the future. It is only in the last couple of years that she figured out she was asexual, so this event has been a great way to explore this in writing. You can find her on Tumblr and AO3.
