Summary
Two months, Bruce understands, although not too long, is still long enough for the novelty to have worn off a bit. They've become close. Closer than Bruce anticipated but not quite still. The thing is, Bruce can tell for Jason, he's not quite reliable just yet. He has not become the adult that can be trusted and Bruce can feel him try. Feel the way Jason sometimes lights up around him then quickly retreats like pulling his defenses back up. Bruce tries not to take it to heart. It affects him regardless. Jason tests him, as if knowing at his core, he doesn't belong. Waiting for the shoe to drop, the inevitable betrayal, for Bruce to reveal his true colours.
-
Trust acquires a new meaning, an unexpected level of it's own which tests Bruce and Jason's budding relationship when an argument spirals out of control and Bruce has to bring an end to it. The only way how is to put Jason in a safety hold so he doesn't hurt himself. A protocol is established, a promise reiterated.

Summary
It truly is a mockery of it all, cruel irony or a cosmic joke. Call it whatever it doesn't seem to leave a good taste in his mouth. And isn't it on him, who put him in that position. All his talks about steeling oneself against what they come across every night remain mere words in the face of this. In front of a child who saw his mother in a woman he could not save. Subconsciously, Bruce tightened his grip on Jason's hand, thumb rubbing circles on the skin under his index. Hands so small, hands which held a dying woman's face with gentle precision when he had delivered steady breaths.
-
A routine patrol that goes awry, in the most unexpected of ways, brings Jason to the forefront of his traumas. Bruce and his promise persists but the protocol is tested when even the safety hold doesn't work like it should have.
-
Can be read as a standalone (but would still recommend the first part to understand the premise).
