Fics like brothers who never learned to be one

“Y’know,” Jason starts as he stuffs the bills in his jacket pocket, kicking the body again just for the fun of it. “You said you were here for a check in,” he points out, turning to look at Dick. “But you haven't even asked a single question.” The vigilante shifts his weight from one foot to another, chewing on his bottom lip. “I don't know what I’m supposed to do here, Jason.” “You never did.” “That’s not fair,” Dick snaps. “I’m trying. I don’t know what else you want from me— I fucked up when we were younger, yeah, but I’m trying now.” “But I don't need you now,” Jason retorts back, crossing his arms. “The kid you didn't care enough about did.” “I was barely an adult, Jay.” Jason laughs, sharp and bitter. “And I was just a kid who needed his brother.” There’s a difference between never being brothers, and being brothers who don't know how to be anymore.
