[ There was something snarky living on the edge of Jay's tongue. Nothing especially vicious. But a barb to needle his Other because he liked teasing him, almost as much as he liked kissing him. But it withered, dying a quiet, unceremonious death as Jason gathered up his wrists and put them over his head. He thought maybe there would be a swell of panic in his chest. Or maybe his heart would beat too fast and burst out of his chest. But he took a moment to let himself feel his feelings and he felt.
He felt okay. Because he still could move in Jason's grip. He could twist his wrists and knew about a dozen ways to escape if he needed it. He didn't need it. He curled his fingers into the blanket while he internalized Jason's instructions. It worked for him and nodded. ]
Green. I'm good. Show me what else you got, tough guy.
[It took more effort than he cared to admit, but Jason waited for that 'green'. He didn't pull away, didn't leave the man stretched out on the bed to feel like he was being left, but he'd felt the need to use the stoplight system for a reason and he wasn't going to instantly negate the whole damned conversation because he was impatient.
He didn't know his Other's history...but he remembered the drastic and complete change between sex on other people's terms to sex on his own. Everyone deserved to decide what did or didn't happen to their own body, after all. Consent was important in every aspect, not just sex.
As soon as he had that 'green', he groaned and let his head drop so that he could resume that lazy making out, this time letting himself kiss his Other a little harder and a little deeper. He took his time to properly taste and explore, then eased back just enough to graze lips and teeth against the other man's throat as he worked his way down to flick his tongue out over the Other's nipple.]
[ It’s been a long time since he felt close enough to someone to let them see him like this. And it wasn’t like he hadn’t met anyone he found attractive. There’d been plenty. But so much of his life had been of kilter for so long – as Bruce’s partner and Joker’s prisoner. Then the embodiment of Batman’s destruction. He was the Arkham Knight and there just hadn’t been any room to be anything else to anyone.
He hadn’t wanted to make room either. Until now, because there was something safe being here with his doppelganger. And everything wrong in his life felt like it was too far away to matter. He’d never say it, but he wanted to wrap himself around this moment, keep it close so it wouldn’t have to end and he could feel normal for once.
He met that kiss eagerly, lips parted and tongue working against his Other’s while he savored the taste of the other man’s mouth against his own. When Jason shifted and moved his mouth against his throat, he tilted his head back to give as much access as possible. His fingers flexed when he felt the warmth of Jason’s mouth around his nipple. ]
Shit.
[ He hissed, voice low. He hadn’t expected it to feel so nice and that feeling went straight to his cock. ]
