[ kyle huffs lightly at that, bemused. ]

Is that right? I'll have to remember that.

[reneger]

You know what else you are?

( it's murmured soft, lips trailing down kyle's cheek, down to his jawline where jason--nips softly. he's still smiling.

he's probably up to something. )

[torchbearer]

[ kyle can smell a plot, but why not see where this goes. ]

What else?

[reneger]

( he almost, almost throws kyle off the roof again. but he'd told him to take off the mask, and while he's absolutely certain kyle could catch himself and be fine, the two seconds of flailing might be enough to catch someone else's attention, and while kyle's not subtle, jason's not out to out anyone.

so instead he shoves his hand against kyle's shoulder to push him flat on his back on the roof. leans over him. )

Easy to distract.

[torchbearer]

[ kyle lets out an oof sound, but years of being manhandled has gotten him used to this and he curls his arms around jason. ]

Shouldn't you be proud of that?

[reneger]

I trained under Batman, remember? And Talia al Ghul.

( kyle curls around him, and jason's leaning down into his space. noses in against the side of his neck. )

If I couldn't catch you off guard, I'd need to go back to batschool.

[torchbearer]

[ kyle twitches at the mention of al ghul. he has never quite gotten over the danger ra's put the league through. ]

They have a school now?

[reneger]

( the al ghuls have caused a lot of problems over the years, jason's not even sure what kyle's getting twitchy over, but he notices it. opts not to say shit, but--he'll remember that, for future purposes. )

You never noticed the wing in the manor with all the little desks? ( there's a teasing lilt to his tone, and jason moves his arm over to--box in kyle a little. it hides his face from outsiders, in case anyone does manage to get a peek over at them without them noticing--just in case. )

You wanna go get a closer look at their tech? Or do you wanna make out up here, just a few yards away from the big bads?

[torchbearer]

[ kyle grins, pressing a kiss to his jaw. ]

Why not both? We can multi-task.

[reneger]

Mm, I don't think we can. Unless, ( jason's head tips, gives kyle more room to work with while he kisses along his jawline. ) we start makeouts now, then go check out their shit, an' then maybe head back to your place.

( the tips of his ears are flushed, as is his neck and cheeks. but nobody needs to comment on that. )

[torchbearer]

[ perfect, because he is absolutely going to do that. ]

Works for me.

[reneger]

( jason's throwing kyle another cocky grin, before he's moving a hand to thread fingers through kyle's hair, keeps his weight on his elbow while he leans down and presses another kiss to his lips.

it's deeper this time, soft but exploratory. kyle's still new to him, or at least this part of kyle is. and jason wants to make sure he's--touching and kissing him properly, how kyle likes to be touched and kissed. he's not rushing, not pushing, just--following the cues he's given. )

sorry for the lateness! my brain futzed

[torchbearer]

[ no, there's no rush. every touch kyle gives is reverent sometime, but lately he's been feeling bolder. like the ground under his feet has become more solid. and the point isn't him anyway, it's about jason. he wants to make it all about jason.

after a while, once they crack some beers, kyle makes a note of the movement at the warehouse. not today, but tomorrow perhaps they should hit it and hit it hard. ]

So, how would you rate this date?

[reneger]

( jason likes--softer touches like this once he adjusts to them. he's all sharp edges, until he isn't. and kyle like this, pressed close, soft and warm under him just feels good. it feels right.

as does sitting next to him when they break apart to go back to the drinks kyle had brought with him. jason downs a good half of the beer he's got in hand, before he's raising a hand to wipe across his lips and lowers it down to set it on the rooftop.

pulls himself up to his feet. )

As a date? ( he raises his hands up, idly counts off on his fingers. ) I'll give it a solid seven. You good to wait here for a minute? Wouldn't want your lack of stealth capabilities giving us away.

( may as well bug the warehouse while he's here. )

[torchbearer]

[ kyle rolls his eyes in good humour. ]

Yeah, go for it.

[reneger]

( another grin gets thrown kyle's way, before jason's leaning back to fall into his own shadow.

intentionally, since it seems to just eat him up. jason's gone, but kyle will be able to spot him moments later on top of the warehouse roof for just a few moments, before he's slipping into yet another one.

uses it to travel into one inside the warehouse, where he'll casually slip through dark corners, dropping bugs where they're unlikely to be found anytime soon. )

[torchbearer]

[ looks like jason's getting more used to his powers. which is good. he'll be safer that way. kyle will probably never shake off the fear, the slow creeping doubt but he can rely on jason to take care of himself.

cradling the beer, he watches the warehouse silently. ]

[reneger]

( he's getting more used to leaning on them. not relying on them, because he doesn't rely on anything but himself--but they're handy on occasion, and there's nothing wrong with taking advantage of something useful. know how to use every tool in your utility belt but never depend on them and all the other bullshit bruce used to spout.

it doesn't take him long, given how much quicker traveling is these days now that he can simply take a step into the shadows and find himself elsewhere. and then he's crawling out from kyle's own shadow, putting a hand on his shoulder as he pulls himself up and out of it. )

Forgot to ask--you think you can work with Dickie an' his shiny new meta-abilities?

[torchbearer]

[ kyle blinks, thrown off guard by that. ]

You want him to train with me? Why? I never had formal training.

[reneger]

He called himself a glowstick. Made me think of you.

( his voice is soft, affectionate even. jason leans down to start picking up their mess. )

None of us had formal training for this. 'sides, it'll be fun to watch you get your ass kicked by a fourteen year old.

[torchbearer]

[ kyle still look unsure. ]

I don't know. I've never trained anyone before.

[reneger]

I have.

( jason waves the bottle in his hand back towards kyle, and heads off to the edge of the roof. )

I'll help.

[torchbearer]

Actual help or laughing at me help?

[reneger]

Why not do both at once? I can multitask.

[torchbearer]

Thanks, I think.
