Fics like Would you hold my hand if no one’s home?

“Oh, fantastic,” Jason replies sarcastically, looking sceptical at the archer. “Do you think we can convince them that we’re together? Maybe even engaged! I’m sure Doctor Thompkins would love to be the officiator!” At the suggestion Jason feels an immediate vile response on the tip of his tongue. Because what Jason will never admit to anyone who has ever known him is how desperately he wants to be openly loved without shame. That he wants someone who would grab him when they were excited and kiss his palms and smile at him and want him. He wants so viciously to be wanted and he doesn’t know how much longer empty praise from people he had protected or long poetry or old novels full of understanding will be a good enough stand-in for being wanted. And it was Roy suggesting it. That very fact makes something inside him seethe, something inside him turns into a feral animal from shame. It claws at his rib cage in search of an outlet.
