An au where Tim was the first to find out Jason was alive. His immediate course of action was to apprehend him. He had finally found meaning in life and he wouldn’t let Jason ruin it.
He kept him tied up and hidden away from prying eyes. He wasn’t inhumane. He kept Jason, bathed, clothed. And did everything to keep him alive, but out of the way.
Over time, Jason lost the will to fight and gradually allowed Tim authority over him. He reasoned it as part of his escape plan but he couldn’t deny how nice it feels to be cared for, even if it was against his will.
Tim decided Jason was no longer a threat and released him, but it only made Jason spiral. Tim had wanted him. Tim had showed him love, even in its twisted form.
He tried to prove himself to Tim. To make Tim want him back. He could be good. He was good.
Eventually he confronted Tim and it ended with a kiss. Tim was stunned but Jason pursed him further. He loosened himself beforehand, having planned to use his body to persuade Tim.
He vowed to make Tim desire him more than anything. Jason’s obsession for Tim rivaled his need to be cared for. He just had to make Tim see how well they fit together, both literally and figuratively.
Tim caved. Jason wanted him. He was desperate for him. That was enough for him.
