( dick finds a bruise and he presses on it, because he knows damn well he's found jason's soft bits. he's not doing it to be cruel - hell, there's nothing cruel about dick saying shit like i don't want to be in your space if you don't want me there. it's the second bit that bites, and jason knows it's not intentional.
he doesn't respond to it for a bit. he's in a bad mood. he got a huge chunk of shit shoved onto him all at once that he's not going to get time to deal with. stark's gone. harper's not answering his calls, and while jason isn't taking that as roy being missing just yet, it's not a good sign. going off on dick when he's in a shit place is a really, really bad move.
jason writes out a response, deletes it. writes it out again, deletes it. turns off his phone, turns it back on. types out a simple "whatever", then deletes that too. doesn't settle with just that though. )
usually, i'd let you have it. haha, sure dick fucked up but jason also did, clearly it's on both of us and we should both stop being stupid. hell, i'd eat it all. i'm the family fuck up, i'm the one who doesn't listen. maybe this is all on me but you know what? it's all on you you gave me a phone number when i was a kid, a suit, and fucked off to your friends who just couldn't help constantly comparing me to you that part, that's not on you. that's on them you left me with bruce knowing damn well how he is and went off to space i came back angry, not on you i didn't come back to gotham when maybe i should have, not on you bruce took out all his shit on me and no one came looking for me after not you, not bruce, not alfred i was alone i was alone and fucked up, bruce almost killed me, and no one was there. i had to take care of myself i came after you because you were there and you threw me in arkham 'damian needed me, i was busy with batman' where were you when i needed you? where were you when bruce broke me bad enough harper had to strand me on an island so i could recover? where were you when bruce came by to tell me my best friend was dead, but "sorry, you're still never allowed to come back home". you've been there for tim, steph, cass, and damian, but you were never there for me every damn time one of you has called me back in for the world ending, or some other stupid shit, i've shown up when i needed someone? i had to figure it out on my own

hell, i'd eat it all. i'm the family fuck up, i'm the one who doesn't listen. maybe this is all on me
but you know what?
it's all on you
you gave me a phone number when i was a kid, a suit, and fucked off to your friends who just couldn't help constantly comparing me to you
that part, that's not on you. that's on them
you left me with bruce knowing damn well how he is and went off to space
i came back angry, not on you
i didn't come back to gotham when maybe i should have, not on you
bruce took out all his shit on me and no one came looking for me after
not you, not bruce, not alfred
i was alone
i was alone and fucked up, bruce almost killed me, and no one was there. i had to take care of myself
i came after you because you were there and you threw me in arkham
'damian needed me, i was busy with batman'
where were you when i needed you?
where were you when bruce broke me bad enough harper had to strand me on an island so i could recover?
where were you when bruce came by to tell me my best friend was dead, but "sorry, you're still never allowed to come back home".
you've been there for tim, steph, cass, and damian, but you were never there for me
every damn time one of you has called me back in for the world ending, or some other stupid shit, i've shown up
when i needed someone?
i had to figure it out on my own
our rocky relationship?
that's on you
