Jason Todd Doesn't Say "I Love You" Because He Finds It Hard To Make These Words Leave His Mouth. But

Yu Ijin's trauma against mothers and their daughter

yu ijin short fanfic, light angst, random character study

i need to see more ijin being haunted by the mother and daughter that he killed during his raid when he was a soldier.

where during a hangout, he and his friends were walking together on their way to the internet cafe, another session to rank their games and improve the newbies' (ijin and yuna) gaming skills.

And as they trudge against the calm warm sky, they pass by a mother and her child, the little girl's sweet youthful laughter loud on the quiet street. It would normally irk the teenage boys of loud children, but the atmosphere of the mother and daughter was too precious to dislike, much less ignore. Ijin watched as they glanced at the woman and the girl, so he followed in suit. A woman cradling a toddler girl on her hips, smiles both present on their faces —a horror-faced mother cradling her daughter's head in attempt to hide her from the terror outside the house, those young petrified eyes staring at ijin as he pointed his gun at them, before pulling the trigger— ijin spurned his head away from the motherly scene, chest suddenly needing deep breathes.

his action caused his friends to look at him and ask him what happened. Ijin looked back at them and saw their eyebrows lifted in surprise and eyes filled with worry —young petrified eyes— Ijin felt sick —mother and daughter laid dead on their own blood— Ijin felt sick. Ijin felt someone looking at him and turned to the direction of the stare; it was the young girl looking at him with a curious face —the dead girl— ijin marched to the thankfully near dumpster and cleaned his sickness out, his friends rushing beside him in hurry. Their voices clashed together at the constant ask of what happened, but what only rang to ijin was the sound of a woman, "Are you okay?"

The teenagers stopped and looked at the mother and daughter who had approached them at the sight of ijin's struggle. Ijin stared at the two, wistful eyes and regretful heart. He stepped back when the young girl stepped forward, handkerchief and candy in hand. She stepped forward, he stepped backward. "Don't come near me, i'm dirty."

"It's okay. My mom always helps me when i throw up and she never feels yucky about it. Mom gives me candies to stop me from throwing up. Here!"

His friends look at ijin for his reaction, and was surprised to see such sorrowful eyes that they weren't sure if it was even about the fact of being dirty anymore. They didn't miss his shaky hands as it inched to the girl's hands that held out a lollipop.

the woman chuckled at ijin, "it's okay, kid. you're not dirty. you didn't mean to do it anyway, it couldn't be helped. i hope you're okay. take care of him, you kids, okay?" she said towards his friends softly, then they went back on their way once again.

ijin looked down at the lollipop on his hand. she was right, it couldn't be helped. but it still didn't make him feel any less dirty.

Why are you crying? They ask. “no reason.” I reply. Thinking very intently about Jason showing up to watch his graduating class walk the stage and get their diplomas or recognizing one of the girls he barely knew from Freshman year surrounded by friends, carrying milkshakes with a a prom dress slung over her arm at the mall. And it hits him suddenly, ‘that’s my senior prom. I’m supposed to graduate in a month.’ (this will have no physiological impact on him whatsoever; he promises himself. (This leads to a very sharp decline in his mental health))

“I’m fine.” I say “totally okay.”

Hi mr gaiman, i have a question that is mentally killing me and i need to know:

Is there any possibility of either crowley and/or aziraphale dying in good omens season 3, because if so i need to start mentally preparing ASAP

They both die in the first five minutes of Season 3, following the aftermath of a pie-eating contest in the pie factory that they both work in. The plot of Season 3 mostly has their wives, thrilled and surprised by the unexpected insurance pay out, going on holiday together to Majorca, but winding up, accidentally in a little Spanish town known only for its beloved animal-run zoo.

You'll be amazed at the hilarity that ensues, when two rich widows seeking love encounter a tiny family zoo that needs money to survive -- otherwise all of the animals are going to have to go and live in the streets.

obsessed with like, Jason who absolutely refuses to reconcile with the bats. he wants no part in that family and will not talk to them under any circumstances. but he's legally dead with no friends and sometimes he gets sick of being completely by himself and wants to have company. so.

Bruce: hey Alfred have you seen my-

*comes into kitchen to see Alfred calmly preparing dinner while Jason Todd, Killer Red Hood, silently does paperwork while sat on the corner of the kitchen counter*

Bruce:

Bruce: uh-

Tim, doing homework at the table: don't mention it. if you acknowledge him he'll leave. he just likes being around people sometimes.

the bats have to start treating him like a stray cat, letting him go to them and acting completely unbothered by his presence because if they even make eye contact with Jason he'll jump out the window and they 1. won't see him for a month and 2. will start to see a lot more murders cropping up around gotham.

eventually it gets to the point where Dick will come to dinner to see the rest of the family wordlessly ignoring the brick shithouse of a man who is just sat on the floor of the dining area reading a book and he has to just. take a breath and pretend Jason isn't there. calmly stepping around him without acknowledging him. Alfred will silently place a plate of food by the guys elbow while speaking to Damian about school. When they decide to move from the table to the tv room for a movie night none of them can even look around when they hear him eventually follow just to sit in the corner of this room instead.

Bruce: I'm concerned, this is abnormal for Jason. what if he's been drugged with something? or he's trying to gain sensitive information?

Damian: actually he used to do this a lot after he came out of the Lazarus pit. he liked to sit in and watch me train, and occasionally we'd find him sat by grandfathers feet while he ran meetings. Mother says it's important to let him settle, because it's likely that he's simply craving human intimacy on his own terms for once.

Bruce, crying: oh

Jason still refuses to say a word to any of them unless it's in costume, and even then it's the same old 'i'm not your son! i'm not one of you! fuck off!' shtick like normal. they just have to accept him sneaking into the house every now and then too.

one time Tim needs Red Hoods info on a case he's working and since Jason's been sat on the floor against the wall of the bat cave for the past 45 minutes just. staring into space and vibing. he risks sliding the file across the floor towards him before pointedly turning back to the batcomputer, the info he needs marked clearly. five minutes later it's wordlessly slid back, info filled out and Jason refusing to acknowledge Tim's existence again. it's the only way he'll communicate with them.

after a while it gets to the point where Jason will straight up go to bludhaven and break into Dicks apartment just to silently sit in the corner of the room and Be Around A Familiar Person. Tim comes back from his lunch brake at WE to find him sat on the edge of his desk, working through a case. They work in silence for the rest of the day and when Tim leaves Jason just follows. They get a batburger together but the second Tim slips up and asks how his day was he's off like a shot. Damian regularly eats lunch at school on the roof while Jason plays mario kart on a DSI next to him. Batman will be 4 hours into a solo stake out when civilian Jason will silently slide up next to him with a crossword. they never talk. Jason still makes it clear that he's pissed at Bruce. Bruce doesn't know what else to do but let him be and hope eventually, with enough time, things will progress even further.

Dick, whispering so Jason won't pick up on the fact that he's being perceived: are you sure this is normal

Damian: is anything about any of us normal

Tim: he's got a point. at least we know Jason's watching us. I did this shit all the time before I was Robin, and none of you ever noticed me.

Dick:

Tim: sometimes its comforting to be in the same room as people you're familiar with, even if you can't handle interacting with them.

Dick, crying: ok

Idk how long Damian’s staying dead for but I think dick needs to hallucinate about it at least once before he comes back. It’s a love language.
