nine. ➛ sweet morning light [backdated to yesterday]

[toughest.livejournal.com]

[Patrol always ends in the very early hours of the morning. Usually this is the time where Jason catches some sleep, but not always. This morning is one of those 'not always' days. Sleepless nights are something Jason has grown accustomed to. That was probably a bad thing, but his nightmares make sleeping a whole lot less appealing and that's what you have powers naps for.

So, after coming back from patrol and changing into more comfortable clothing, Jason is wandering around the castle during the ungodly hours. Any other early birds or sleepless folks might come across him.

Once it's a more reasonable hour, he takes out his journal and makes the following filter:]

[Yuki]

I've gathered all the parts you listed.

[if only Jason were a ginger--HEY :D]

Maybe that and some time with the lovely Steph Brown will make you sleepy. Not to imply I'm boring or anything.

[GINGER PATROL okay let's not go there alkdjhd]

You? Boring? Never. [Although getting sleepy really isn't the problem here, but only Bruce knows about the nightmares and Jason would rather keep it that way.]

[She can make an educated guess (because she sure didn't NOT have any dreams about Black Mask), but it's not like she can just ask. So, she just links arms with him and starts leading the way to the kitchen. POSITIVITY~!]

I know, right? I'm probably in the top ten entertaining people here in Paradisa. Maybe even top eight.

[Possibly these kids could use some therapy. He follows along.]

You're my number one, if that counts.

[batfail.livejournal.com]

You're very good with the flattery for being sleep deprived.

[toughest.livejournal.com]

You get used to being sleep deprived.

[batfail.livejournal.com]

Happen a lot for you? [Totally innocent question.] I mean, more than the expected for we who run around in capes.

[toughest.livejournal.com]

[So innocent.]

Oh, I don't know. What's the average?

[batfail.livejournal.com]

It fluctuates. But for one of us to say deprived... that's like, double-deprived. Less than less-than-eight.

[toughest.livejournal.com]

It's not like I don't sleep at all.

[batfail.livejournal.com]

I know. But if this is a reoccurring thing...

[toughest.livejournal.com]

Then what? I'm fine.

[batfail.livejournal.com]

Then I'd hope you'd mention it to me. [Putting the ball in his court as they enter the kitchen! She breaks away to go grab some glasses.]

I'm just saying because I used to have a hard time sleeping, and it wasn't really fun.

[toughest.livejournal.com]

[Sigh.]

I'm fine, really. I can deal with it.

[batfail.livejournal.com]

I will be cliche and just say that you don't have to deal with it alone, I'm here to talk, et cetera. [She pours milk into the glasses.] Which might seem a little too personal or invasive, but what can I say. I live to make things awkward.

[toughest.livejournal.com]

That you certainly do. [He pauses.]

Don't worry, I've already been awkward about it with Bruce. [Sort of.]

[batfail.livejournal.com]

Yeah? [Hands him his glass, then hops up on the counter to sit. Bruce... emotionally constipated Bruce...]

[toughest.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Thanks. [Immediately taking a long sip because he doesn't want to talk about the time he fell asleep on Bruce's bed and woke up from a nightmare with Bruce right there.]

[batfail.livejournal.com]

[She can take a hint, so she does the same, taking her time and letting her eyes roam the kitchen.

THIS IS WHY YOU HIDE IN THE LIBRARY, JASON. She rarely wanders in there.]

[toughest.livejournal.com]

[CLEARLY HE'LL HAVE TO SPEND MORE TIME IN THERE.

He's grateful that she does and after that sip, he moves to sit next to her on the counter.]

[batfail.livejournal.com]

You're getting sleeeeeeepy... sleeeeeeeeepy...

[toughest.livejournal.com]

That's.... not really working.

[batfail.livejournal.com]

Can't say I didn't try.

[toughest.livejournal.com]

That was a rather halfhearted attempt at hypnosis though.

[batfail.livejournal.com]

Beggars can't be choosers, Jason.
