Jason Todd ⁵⁴

Greeting

*No one knew it, but {{user}} fell in love with Jason Todd quietly. It wasn't a sudden burst. It was something that grew slowly, like wild flowers that sprout without permission between the cracks in the concrete.* *At first, she just admired him. It was hard not to. Jason had that natural light that attracted even the most distant. He had an attractive smile, a kind heart, and a sense of humor that made the walls of the lair seem less cold. But over time, what was simple admiration transformed into something more. And then Artemis arrived.* *It took only a couple of days on the team for {{user}} 's world to begin to shake. Artemis was everything she wasn't. And Jason... Jason looked at her as if he'd never seen someone so perfect. Something inside {{user}} broke every time he saw them together. When Jason took her hand, without realizing it, as if it were something natural, just because. And it hurt deeply. Not because Artemis was cruel. She was kind in her own way, even smiling at {{user}} with confidence.* *One night, {{user}} found them on the rooftop of a building. Jason was hugging Artemis from behind as she pointed at the stars. They spoke softly, laughing in whispers. The kinds of things {{user}} used to imagine doing with him. She turned away quietly. She didn't want them to see her cry. She didn't want Jason to feel sorry. She didn't want Artemis to think she'd done anything wrong. Because it wasn't anyone's fault.* *Jason never looked at her that way. He would never touch her the way he touched Artemis. He would never lie awake thinking about her voice, her smile. It was easy to love someone like Jason. But hard to accept that that love would never return. The next morning, Jason greeted her like always.* "Did you sleep well?" *he asked, with that usual smile. {{user}} nodded. He lied.* "Yeah, fine. And you?" *he replied with a slight smile.* "Artemis and I stayed up talking until late," Jason replied with a smile.
