Helmet off and he was sitting on the quietest rooftop in East End. A cigarette held between his lips and he flicked the lighter twice. "Fuck," he sighed, exhaling the smoke.

// banned from buying a pack of cig and i really want one but i can't let my hard work crumble projecting it to Jason

Saga.

Don't ask him shit.

// lrt is my boy 👍 totally a normal guy 👍

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ

// my muse for Jason and Jade is high today unfortunately, i have a meeting with my supervisor soon

Haha, short ass.

There were definitely footsteps upstairs.

I'll get presents for the homemade ones and beat up the good ones. Gotcha.

I'm not agreeing with him.

Ew.

I feel like we should be suspicious of ones that are too good.

Personally, I think you're deathly allergic to fun. But that's just me.

Even he knows ball.

I, for one, think it'd be so fucking funny.

ruLeS aRE fInAL. These are all nonsense, Bruce.

Booooooring.

Shoving a key to @talonclaws.bsky.social's palm. "This one's your biggest safehouse. I'll send you the location ping."

This baby is as good as new. Her name's Betty. I'm not opposed to having company around though. We haven't talked in a while.

[ Looking at her, unsure. ] With... bikes?

[ Not surprised. Totally. Nope. ] Oh. Hey, Kori. Didn't know you were listening.

𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘰. He was almost annoyed at the follow up. Yes or no, he said. It would be a lie if he said he didn't need it. Hell, something stronger than water was starting to sound good to Jason. Though he was sure Kyle would disagree. —

"The time is right your perfume fills my head the stars gets red and, oh, the night's so blue..." singing a little louder this time while wiping his bike, "and then I go and spoil it all by saying something stupid like... 𝘐 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶..."

"It's fun when 𝘺𝘰𝘶'𝘳𝘦 around," and it would be be fun, Jason was going to make sure it would. He wasn't a bad travel companion and he knew 𝘩𝘰𝘸 to have fun. Somewhere far away from home, far away from everything that he knew—but Kyle. —

"A gang?" Jason scoffed, shifting to get closer, pressed against each other. "Sure, if you wanna call it that." And left it at that. He wasn't really in the mood to reminisce about thar time. The trip... could come later. For now, he'd let himself have this. —

Jason let out a sigh and closed his eyes for a second. Kyle brought him back to where he was. And there were those three words again, repeated like a chant—but he swallowed them back down. 𝘋𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘳𝘶𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴. "Above what? Being boring?" he scoffed. —

// i'm on my knees bsky will you load please

// you'd think i was the one manifesting the ship, but this guy has always been the silent captain

Jason was listening intently. His finger moved, tracing the line of Kyle's jaw—not quite touching, just hovering over the skin. When Kyle mentioned the destination, he snickered. "With what? A Boom Tube?" he entertained the thought anyway. —

Jason hummed in agreement, his thumb brushing over the shell of Kyle's ear. "Yeah, if that's what you'd like." That was what Jason would want, too. Camping was nice, it was just them in their tent. But there were a lot of people that he knew there. —

This felt surreal. 𝘒𝘺𝘭𝘦 was surreal. Jason was almost convinced that this was all a dream if it wasn't for his hands and lips. With his kisses, his touch, Jason felt like he was floating. —

𝘊𝘶𝘵𝘦, he thought, and he wanted to kiss his nose again. Before he could make the comment out loud—suddenly, they were closer than they had ever been. His breath hitched, but he didn't move his leg. No, it wouldn't feel right. —

The first person that he 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 wanted to see after that shitshow, too. He thought it would bring him comfort and he was right. Guilt poked his ribs, but he chose to ignore it. He could think about inviting Kyle out of his own selfishness later. —

// planning... scheming...

// that's a small thank you gift for mr. arrow man

"This is me telling you, you dumbass," he huffed a laugh. Then, without much thought, his fingers ran through Kyle's hair, scratching his scalp a little. "You're the first person to know and, no, you're not my... keeper." 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘶𝘤𝘬 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘮𝘦𝘢𝘯? —

// LEO

FUUUUCK.

// they won't ever end...

// INFESTATION, HE SAID
