( he's being careful. jason can hear it. can see it. whereas he's willing to ride the line a little more closely, this runt is making sure he's keeping away from it.
which pisses him off even more. because jason has experience, he should be the one being cautious with his words, his actions, not this guy. a normal person might take it as a good sign to back it up a little, play the roles they're going for in a way that's not going to cause more friction. but jason just takes it as a good sign to try and push his way right on over that line, break junior down before he can break jason.
jason pulls himself up slow. raises a hand, to brush fingers through his hair and push wet strands away from his face. looks down to his abdomen, where there'll likely be bruising later, but for now? looks maybe just a little red. mostly unbothered. )
Honestly? I've gotten worse hits from T.
( maybe not ride the line that close. because it's honest: he has taken worse from tim. his arms raise, in a gesture that reads look at me. and jason's grin turns wolfish. )
Maybe you should get him to fight your battles for you. He'd do a better job of it.
