Aren’t you a demon hunter? Kind of surprised it was just that, then.

But I bet it felt good.

[gigadevilbreaker]

Not like I killed every demon I came across - we were supposed to keep a low profile.

Just the ones mistreating the working ladies in the red light district.

[mind_blown]

Wow.

[he glances over him again, considering.

And then he finally settles for teasing lightly,]

And you had no clue how a secret identity could be useful.

[gigadevilbreaker]

Uh, yeah, 'cause I was 'famous'.

Unless you're gonna tell me you were a TV star back home too.

[mind_blown]

There’s no way in hell.

[he hasn’t remembered “Bruce wayne, millionaire playboy” yet.]

In fact, that sounds like literal hell.

[gigadevilbreaker]

[He can't help but laugh at that kneejerk response]

Yeah, you weren't exactly made for the limelight.

[mind_blown]

That’s the kind of pressure I’d crack under. Maybe destroy a TV set.

[but hey, he’s smiling in amusement at Griffin, as he explains this with the utmost sincerity, and airy hand gestures.]

[gigadevilbreaker]

[Griffin watches him with open fondness, following his hand motions - forgetting to feel awkward.]

Oh I dunno, that sounds like the kinda entertainment I'd watch.

[mind_blown]

You... but probably not many other people.

My best friend made an advertisement trying to sell out our ass kicking services. I’ve never wanted to strangle someone more than in that moment.

[gigadevilbreaker]

Please tell me Red Hood was on a billboard. Subway ads? Late night infomercial. Flyers, at least.

[mind_blown]

“Rent a bat.” To which I am offended— I’m clearly not related to any bats anymore.

And it was on a billboard.

[gigadevilbreaker]

[omg. Griffin pumps a fist in victory]

Billboard. I knew it.

[mind_blown]

You’re laughing at my misery.

[he doesn’t look miserable]

[gigadevilbreaker]

[It's so hard to keep a straight face]

I'm celebrating... your soon to be very profitable start up business.

[mind_blown]

Pretty sure that doesn’t stick around, but hey. Optimism.

[he inclined his head towards Griffin]

[gigadevilbreaker]

That's me. Always lookin' on the bright side.

[mind_blown]

[jeeze.

He needs to stop.]

Guess that’s a good balance for me.

[gigadevilbreaker]

[His smile goes from teasing to careful, sincere.]

That's why we make a good pair.

[mind_blown]

[this.


Is dangerous.




But also he likes it.]

Guess so.

[gigadevilbreaker]

Oh, he admits it.

[It should sound playful but - he's clearly just glad.]

[mind_blown]

[don’t sound so grateful for that. He pushes away from the wall.]

Don’t let it go to your head.

[it’s supposed to be counter teasing. But there’s an uncertain air as he says it.]

[gigadevilbreaker]

[Keeps still and watches him.]

...Scared I'll get an even bigger ego?

[That's not what Jason's scared of and Griffin knows it.]

[mind_blown]

[He stares at him.]

Something like that.

[it is not something like that.]

[gigadevilbreaker]

[Griffin's quiet for a moment, sober as he meets Jason's eyes.]

You don't have to worry so much about me. I bounce back.

[mind_blown]

[he doesn't need that reassurance. it's not that he thinks Griffin wouldn't bounce back-- he said as much before, didn't he. that's not what he's worried about.

but his impulse control has always been shit, since the moment he woke up there.

and so he closes the distance, and kisses him-- not quite greedy, like he's still trying to fight that urge]
