Fics like glowing signs (that we fail to recognise)

Jason glances up at Tim as they near Drake manor, and his eyebrows twitch at the brightening glow around the boy. His breath stutters, becomes uneven. Days, hours—how can he stop it? Why does it keep coming and going? "Tim," he says, and the desperation in his voice is barely concealed. He hopes Tim doesn't hear it. They're halfway through the Drake manor driveway. "Uhm. I really enjoyed hanging out with you today. Thank you for coming." Tim tilts his head and smiles. "Of course," he says, but the light around him is still shining bright. "I—" Jason swallows. "Be safe, okay? We should hang out again tomorrow." And—to Jason's delight and relief—the light dims again as Tim smiles, and fiddles with his hands. "Yeah, okay. We will. Thanks, Jason." or Jason is meta and can see when people are close to death. Tim keeps glowing like the goddamned sun, and Jason really, really doesn't want him to die.
