[British and American] Jason Wayne's Struggle

Dick was a little confused when he received the letter from Jason. They usually used email, and if they wanted to talk about topics related to vigilantes, they would talk directly using an encrypted phone.

Jason would occasionally send a bucket of biscuits, and sometimes the package would include a box of black tea, which was the brand that Alfred liked. Another time, when Dick opened a package, he found a new set of Kevlar in addition to the biscuits and tea. After that, Dick and Bruce's relationship began to improve.

Dick started to send some things home. They were not precious items, as the young policeman did not have that much money, but he contracted Jason's dried taro. At the end of autumn, he also sent back a few fallen leaves he picked up at the door of the police station.

Sending packages to each other became a way for Dick to communicate with his family. He knew clearly the role Jason played in these matters. When Dick, who was in a cold war with his family, returned home for the first time, it was because Jason came personally and dragged him back forcefully.

Robin is the light in the night, guiding people struggling on the edge of darkness so that they will not lose their way, and can also heal their broken hearts. With Jason around, Batman's aura is not as cold and gloomy as before, and sometimes Dick would vaguely see the young Bruce who used to joke.

The name Jason comes from the Greek "Jason", which means healer. Jason did heal them. This child is a bright spot born from the dirtiest and most rotten place in Gotham.

What on earth would cause Jason to send him a letter?

For a moment, Dick thought that his family was being targeted by a mysterious organization, so other means of contact were no longer safe, and other very "Batman vigilante" thoughts, and his nerves were tense. However, after opening the letter, a ticket slipped out of it, with a note attached.

It can be seen that this is a piece of paper torn from a notebook. The edge of the paper is not smooth, and a line of words is hastily written on it.

【12月17日，普莱西德湖赫尔伯布鲁克斯竞技场，下午13：30入场，有空就来，没空看电视，直播时间：短节目12月17日14:00，自由滑12月19日15:30。】

Dick looked at the words on the ticket and read slowly: "2005 Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final."

Yeah, that kid made it to the finals.

Jason Todd Wayne is extremely talented in figure skating. He has all the qualities required for this sport, including outstanding looks, slender and light body, extraordinary muscle strength, superb flexibility, and great balance. His talent crushes everyone.

Last season, Jason won the junior category at the U.S. Championships, and because the scores for domestic figure skating competitions are counted together for both the adult and youth categories, he almost made it to the podium in the adult category.

Such a genius naturally swept the youth group. Unfortunately, the domestic TV stations did not broadcast the youth group's sub-races. If you want to watch it, you have to search on the Internet yourself. Not to mention the lag, due to the time difference, when Jason was competing, Dick had to do his night patrol. As Jason's brother, Dick has never watched Jason's new season show.

Want to go?

Dick had saved up a few days of vacation time, so it was possible for him to go out, but he was not sure how he would feel when he saw Jason.

In fact, it was not until last week, when the landlord Clancy asked him vaguely if there was something wrong with his health, that Dick realized that he had not had sex for more than half a year.

After the incident with Wolf Spider, he worked hard to reshape his heart and beliefs as a superhero, trying his best to balance the dual identities of policeman and vigilante, reporting to Titan from time to time, fighting Darkseid in between, and the days passed by like flowing water.

From the end of March when little Robin came to Blüdhaven and started their lively cohabitation life with him and then left, to now December, Dick had such a long period of singleness for the first time since he turned 3. During this period, he had never been attracted to anyone else. Although he had reunited with Barbara, he was dumped two hours later.

Is this window of time related to Jason? Dick doesn't know, he only knows that his life is fulfilling and everything is going in the right direction. He feels good, sometimes lonely, and knows in his heart that this is only temporary. As long as he returns to Wayne Manor, his family will be there.

His abnormality in recent months was somewhat related to Jason. Given that Dick had a bad habit of always forgetting to knock on the door before entering, he discovered the little secret about his successor - Jason had two genders. He was a boy, at least he looked like a very smart and brave boy, but he was also a girl.

Does gender really matter? Dick thought about this question. Whether Jason was a man or a woman, he was the one who kicked Dick out of the trough and dragged Dick back home.

Dick opened his notebook and picked up a bookmark made of fallen leaves. Jason made six such bookmarks in total, one of which was sent with the cookie jar. There was a line of neat handwriting on it.

Donot, foronerepulse,forgothepurposethatyouresolvedtoeffort.

Don't give up on the goal you originally determined to achieve just because of one setback.

——by Shakespeare.

Dick thought that this English literary giant who was born four hundred years ago was indeed worthy of respect. His sentences had a certain power. He must be a person who was good at thinking and had an understanding of life.

According to Afu, Jason originally considered skating "Romeo and Juliet", but he had never experienced love and thought he would not be able to skate such a program well, so he finally chose "The Piano Lesson".

Dick finally went to Lake Placid. He only took one day off. When he arrived, Jason had finished the competition. The little robin, who was stronger than last year, won the championship of the Grand Prix Final Youth Group and achieved the Youth Group Gold Medal Grand Slam.

But the big blue bird still saw Robin's program - as the champion, Jason had to perform a performance skate, and his performance skate program was the song "Wrence" that he had played in Dick's apartment.

The slender boy seemed a little taller than before, and the extra height seemed to be on his legs. He was wearing a white chiffon coat with many sparkling crystals on it, as clean as the snow falling on Christmas morning.

He glided gracefully on the ice, with only one beam of light shining on him. Ice flowers flew everywhere as his skates passed over the ice. He shone like a star, and every jump and spin was so beautiful that it made people hold their breath unconsciously.

As Jason performed, a quiet emotion filled Dick's heart, making his chest ache. It seemed as if there were only two people left in the world: Dick sitting in the audience looking at the ice, and Jason dancing on the ice.

Before witnessing all this with his own eyes, Dick never imagined that someone could portray emotions such as loneliness, depression, and enthusiasm so realistically through a dance on ice, and that all emotions, good and bad, would melt in the gentle night.

His performance was so stunning and shocking.

Dick was glad that he caught the show. If he had missed it, he would have regretted it later.

After Jason's exhibition skating, other skaters went on the ice to perform, but the audience's response was not as enthusiastic as that for Jason. Humans have a common perception of beauty, and Jason has the ability to conquer the audience.

After finishing the final group dance, the contestants gathered together to take a group photo. With a few bangs, large pieces of golden ribbons poured out from the sprinkler.

The women's singles champion smiled playfully, picked up a few gold ribbons and threw them over Jason's head. Jason was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head helplessly and tried to take the ribbons away, but he made them more and more tangled, and finally two gold ribbons were directly wrapped around his neck.

Some female audiences screamed when they saw this scene. The golden ribbon and the boy who was like snow crystal on the white ice made him look like an elf.

A boy who looked about twelve or thirteen jumped onto the fence with a camera and shouted, "Jason, come here, I'll take a picture of you!"

Jason skated over after hearing that. The boy took a photo of him. Li Qianhuan and other mutant friends who came to watch the game also ran over and asked him, "Do a set of spins, Jay. You look great like this."

Little girl Laura nodded repeatedly: "Yes, do a bow and turn, it looks good!"

Girls always have privileges with Jason. He sighed and started to spin as he was told. The boy's rotation speed was very high, and afterimages would appear during the spin. Golden ribbons also danced in the air along with his spin. Dick heard louder screams around him.

The moment it stopped spinning, Jason looked in the direction of Dick. An intoxicating smile appeared on his usually cold face, and his blue-green eyes were filled with stars. Someone else shouted excitedly, "The little candlestick is smiling."

When the crowd dispersed, Jason put on his coat, said hello to his coach and ran out. He saw Dick standing alone in the cold December wind with his hands in his pockets, his back muscles straight, and his blue eyes looking at him with complicated emotions.

Jason trotted over and handed Dick a cup of hot coffee he bought on the roadside.

"I didn't see you the past two days, and I thought you wouldn't come."

When Jason saw Dick, he thought he was seeing things. It was not until he saw on his phone that Dick asked him to meet at the back door of the hotel that he confirmed that he was seeing Dick Grayson.

Dick looked at the white air blowing out of the child's mouth and was stunned for a while.

He murmured, "It's snowing."

Jason opened his eyes wide and looked up with surprise in his eyes: "Really, this is the first snow I have seen this winter."

Little Robin reached out to catch the tiny snowflakes, and Dick looked at his profile and started laughing too.

Dick looked regretful: "You are a dazzling star standing on the ice. People can't help but focus their eyes on you. It's a pity that I didn't see your previous games."

Jason was a little flattered. "Thank you. You are also very impressive. I mean, I have seen your acrobatic moves. You can roll four times in the air. It is much more exciting than my jumps."

Dick praised sincerely, "No, that was just a jump, not as beautiful as yours. You skated beautifully... You're going to hang out with your friends later, right?"

Jason nodded: "Well, we have an appointment to sing, do you want to come?"

"No, I have to go back to Bludhaven for the night patrol later."

Jason was a little annoyed when he heard this: "Are you so busy recently? If I had known, I wouldn't have sent you the ticket. In fact, it doesn't matter if you don't come."

He did want to have his family around to witness his victory, but he never thought that this could be a reason for his family to give up their work.

Dick shook his head: "No, you didn't bother me, it's just that I suddenly wanted to see you, so I came to see you."

"Want to see me?"

Jason looked towards Dick in confusion, and saw that extremely handsome face approaching, and something soft, wet and hot touched him.

It took Jason a moment to realize what had happened.

Dick kissed him.

Dick stood up straight and spread his hands helplessly: "As you can see, I did such a rash thing. I suddenly bought a plane ticket just to get here quickly. I have to leave in less than four hours, but I can't resist the desire to see you, so I came. Fortunately, it was worth the trip."

The mystery that has been bothering Richard John Grayson, AKA Nightwing, has finally been solved. It turns out that not only does he no longer hate Jason, he even begins to love him.

But this time, Dick's love was no longer as aggressive as any of his previous relationships. Instead, it slowly took root in his heart, so slowly that even Dick didn't realize it was love.

But in fact, Dick had already developed a good impression of Jason since Jason firmly pulled his hand out of the abyss, affirmed him, trusted him, fought alongside him, and lived with him.

Now that this feeling has begun to sprout, Dick decides to face it.

After listening to Dick's confession, Jason didn't react at first. He opened his mouth and then closed it. He looked at the other person through the snow and almost thought he was hallucinating.

After a while, Jason asked in confusion: "You just said that you love me? Are you serious?"

Dick replied sincerely: "Yes, I am serious, and I hope you can love me too."

"I hope you're not kidding me."

"I'm not teasing you."

Silence spread between them again. Dick couldn't stand it now. He said in a pleading tone: "Little Wing, can you say something?"

Whether he lives or dies, give him a quick death.

There was hesitation and doubt in Jason's eyes. Nightwing was a heartthrob, and no one who had been with him didn't like him. He had the best ass, a cheerful personality, and a reliable and meticulous mind. Whether as a comrade or a family member, he was desirable.

In Jason's eyes, Dick is like Esmeralda, and he is Quasimodo who dares not even reach out. Time and past experiences tell Jason not to get close to or desire these things, but his heart is lonely, always clamoring to grab more love.

Now Dick was not expressing cheap, perfunctory brotherhood, but was seriously telling him he loved him. Jason was almost at a loss. It's not like he had never been pursued by others, but he had never thought that he would be confessed to by someone like Dick.

"I don't know what to say. I've never been in love before. How should I respond to you?"

Dick chuckled. He squatted down and looked up at Jason. "If you're willing to try it with me, just say yes. If you don't want to and just want to be brothers with me, just say no."

Jason looked away uncomfortably. He felt anxious. “I have a little problem with my body. You don’t know it, but I…”

"I know."

Dick raised his head, and there was wind, snow, and understanding in his blue eyes.

"We've known each other for so long, you can't expect me not to have noticed anything."

The snow was getting heavier. Dick took off his scarf and put it around Jason's neck, observing Jason's expression. Finally, with Jason's consent, he kissed him again.
