No.

( the answer is quick, firm, and jason lets it sit between them while he ties off a stitch and starts on the next one. he could have used butterfly bandages on this, but given it's bruce--better to be safe than sorry.

his feelings for bruce are significantly more complex than butterfly bandages or stitches. there is no safe answer, because having feelings at all is an exploitable weakness. he could say he doesn't like bruce but it isn't hate. he could say he loves bruce, but it's complicated. it's always complicated. it always hurts. his jaw clenches tight, but jason's hands keep steady. )

I grew up in Crime Alley. My dad died in prison--he was a thug, did a lot of stupid shit. My mom was an addict, I found her body in the bathroom before I'd hit double digits. Bruce was the best thing that'd ever happened to me. I'd be dead or worse if he hadn't taken me in. Still dead, I mean. Wouldn't be half the man I am today without him.

An' despite all the bullshit, I never hated him. Not even for a moment. Might've thought I did at one point or another.
