Online Matchup
Summery: Y/n thought it would be fun signing up on dating sites, just for shits and giggles. Who knew that was one of the best decisions they made, especially when they're having too much fun talking to a certain Jason Todd.
warning: swearing, unedited I think, mentions of cancer, fluff, lots of back and forth teasing
word count: 3072
a/n: I promised myself I'd post a fic today, though it's not the one I wanted, I hope you enjoy regardless.
ao3 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5
Inspired by this:
September 19
You matched with Jason Todd, say hello!
Y/N
So, when you say you're looking for a partner in crime
Do you mean, like, rob a bank and fight batman?
Or like, cozy up on the couch with the fireplace going while it's raining while we try to finish the books we bought?
Cuz, I can do the second one
I dont think i could fight batman or any of his kids
Or even what to, you know? They’re kind of scary
….
well maybe one of them i would fight
I say fight but its wont be
Oh man, I am so sorry about this.
This is not how i wanted to tell you that i am a rambler
I’m just gonna see myself out
Goodday
Jason
Ngl this made me laugh
So who would you fight but not really?
Y/N
You can’t honestly be interested in who I would fight?
No way
Jason
Way
you seemed interesting and i want to get to know you
Y/N
…
okay but you need to answer my question first
Jason:
Lol fair.
And it would be the second one.
I too wouldn’t fight batman but for different reasons
Y/N:
So you're a fighter?
Jason
Nope
This isn’t how it works
y/n:
Fine but remember, you asked for this
Jason:
Okay but it’s not like you have a plan on fighting all the batmans kids so i think im safe
y/n:
…….
Jason:
Oh shit you do?!
y/n:
I plead the fifth
Jason:
You just got a little more interesting
y/n:
I’m going home
Jason:
Damn and here i thought i’d finally found the love of my life
y/n:
No, nope
Don’t say that
The more you talk to me, you’ll find the real me and then want nothing to do with me
Jason:
Let me be the judge of that
We matched for a reason and i want to find out
Don’t you?
Y/n:
Aren’t you a charmer
Okay fine.
20 questions?
Jason:
Sure but after you tell what you would do in a fight with the batfam
y/n:
I was hoping you would drop this, damn
Alright, you get the honour of telling me who you want to know
Jason:
Nightwing
Y/N:
Really?
Okay. well first i was thinking of just flirting my way out, but he looks like he’d flirt back and i’m not the best at it to begin with, so I’d just get all flustered
Bro’s an acrobat, i aint running from him. I aint running from all of them if i’m being honest.
Nah for nightwing, he strikes me as a dork in some way.
I’ll talk my way out of it. And if there’s something i’m good at, it’s talking.
Jason:
So your plan is to talk circles around him?
Y/N:
Yes
Once i figure out what type of dork he is, imma talk until he gets confused and then i’ll run away
Bro won’t see it coming
Jason:
I should tell my brother
He’s a huge nightwing fan
y/n:
Nooooooooooo
No one needs to know i don’t need other people to know how weird i am
Especially your family
I don't want my first meeting to be ‘hey, you’re that chick that’ll talk nightwing to confusion. Man that was a great laugh’
Jason:
You think this will go that far?
Y/N:
Honestly? No
But i have hope
You?
Jason:
Ya
Anyways, red robin?
Y/N:
You skipped red hood
Jason:
Saving him for last
Y/N:
Fair
Hes smart, can’t really talk myself out of that one nor would I flirt
He is too young and not my type
So i use his weakness
Jason:
There’s no way you know that
Y/N:
No but I know the dude doesn’t have a regular sleep schedule.
Jason:
How do you know that?
Y/N:
Back when I worked at a coffee shop, I took his order a few times and watched him down his coffee while it was still hot
I asked him once, why?
Dude said, and i kid you not
‘sleep is for the week and coffee is god’
Ngl, i laughed and gave him a free coffee just for making my day
Jason:
Shit day?
Y/N:
Ugh you had no idea.
I had two tests that day and a term paper due but i couldn’t get it printed in time so that was late
Didn’t help i woke up on the couch, and my body didn’t like that
Jason:
You in school?
Y/n:
Ya, only two years in but i want it to end
Jason:
Not a fan?
Y/N:
Eh
When did we start playing 20 questions?
Jason:
Right, we we suppose to play after you finished your hypotheticals
Y/N:
Curses
Me and my big mouth
Who’s next?
Jason:
We’re still on RR
Y/N:
Blah right
I’ll just bride him with coffee and make a run for it
Jason:
The fact that that could actually work is scary
Are you sure you’re not a villain?
Y/N:
Nope just an engineering student who could fight god with enough coffee and no sleep
Honestly, RR’s my spirit animal
Jason:
Robin
Y/N:
Are you nuts?
I’d turn myself in and then some ain’t no way i’m coming up with a plan for him
He scares me
Jason:
Why?
Y/N:
I watched him fight a few times
The dude has enough skill and rage to fight the justice league if need be
I bet he could kill too
He looks like it
Jason:
Okay you're not wrong
But if you had to come up with a plan, what would it be?
Y/N:
Cannot believe you’re making me do this
Fine
Little dude may have a hard exterior, but years of reading and knowing people like him, he has a soft spot and use that against him
Jason:
Do you know what that is?
Y/N:
…
I am going to die
If robin finds this, I am dying by either embarrassment or by his hands
Jason:
Come on, you gotta tell me
I’m at the edge of my seat here
Y/N:
Fine, but if i’m going down I’m taking you with me
Jason:
But we’ve only just met
Y/N:
Maybe so, but I actually like you
But i’m starting to doubt
Jason:
Aw come on, little bird
Y/N:
Damnit
I happened to be walking home and watched him sit in an alley playing with cats
Must have been a slow night, he was there for hours
Jason:
It was the little bird wasn’t it?
Y/N:
So who’s next? Spoiler? Batgirl? The signal? Red hood? Oracle?
Well, I wouldn’t fight Oracle, I don’t know who they are but I know they would win so I’m going to stay clear of them
No, you know what?
I can tell you my answer for all three of them
I’d bribe them with cookies or something. Idk if they would take it but that’s my plan. Just straight up bribery. Who could resist cookies?
Jason:
That’s your answer to everything huh?
Y/n:
Yup
Jason:
Even with RH?
Y/n:
…
He’s different
Jason:
How so?
Y/N:
Mm, okay but your not allowed to judge
Or laugh
Jason:
Should I be scared?
Y/N:
Depends
Anyways, i have a crush on him
So I would shoot my shot and if i get turned down then at least I tried
Jason:
You have a crush on Red Hood?
Out of everyone there is, why him?
Y/N:
You’re judging! You said you wouldn’t
Jason:
I didn’t say shit
Now tell me why him?
Y/N:
Hell if I know
But have you seen him?
Jason:
I have but you don’t even see his face
Y/N:
That just adds to the mystic that is Red Hood
I just know he’s got a good looking face underneath the mask
Jason:
You really are something else
Y/N:
Sorry
I’m a big fan of RH
And I guess I like the thought of a mystery
So if you want to end this now, I understand
Jason:
Who said anything about ending this?
Y/N:
Don’t know, a lot of people who seem interested in me kind of leave after they find out
Either they don’t want to compete with a crush that I know have zero chance at or they just don’t like red hood and being with a fan isn’t something they want
Jason:
They’re stupid
I ain’t leaving for that
And who knows, maybe you can shoot your shot one day
Y/N:
HA
That’s not going to happen
I freeze up when I’m near someone I like
I’d probably stutter and say something embarrassing and run away
No thank you
Jason:
Thought it out huh
Y/N:
You have no idea
Anyways, 20 questions?
Jason:
I did promise
You can ask a couple?
Y/N:
Favourite colour?
Jason:
Really? After what I did to you, your going to ask something simple
Y/N:
Answer the question Jason
Jason:
Green
Y/N:
Thank you
Favourite food?
Jason:
What’s with the easy questions?
Give me some hard hitting personal ones
Y/N:
I will in time
Now, answers please
Jason:
Chili dogs
Y/N:
Those things are gross
Jason:
Hey, they are the pinnacle of street food
You just have to find the right places
Y/N:
Mmkay, if you say so
Jason:
Alright, gonna have to take you to one of my favourite places
Y/N:
That right?
Jason:
Only way to convince you
Where do you go to school?
Y/N:
Looking forward to it
Gotham University, you?
Jason:
Not yet, but trying to
Kind of hard when you were declared dead for a while
Y/N:
Fucking what?!
Gonna need that story
Jason:
Nope, gotta reach at least level 10 in friendship to unlock it
YN:
Damnit
Jason:
Sorry little bird
Y/N:
You didn’t need to say it so casually tho
Who just mentions, ‘yeah i’ve been declared dead but haven’t done anything’ into a conversation
And not elaborate on it
This is bullshit, sir
Jason:
It has happened to people
Y/N:
Yeah, but they tell people why
You just
Dropped a bomb like that and say, not yet
Whatever, i’ll drop it
Jason:
You sure?
Sounds like it’ll bother you until you get the story
Y/N:
Yes I’m sure
Yes it will bother me
But like I said, I like you and I don’t want to be pushy
I’m not a pushy person
Jason:
Awe does someone have a wittle crush
Y/N:
No
You got nothing on RH
Jason:
Now that just hurts, little bird
Y/N:
Don’t you have a question you need to ask?
Jason:
Are you flustered? I feel like you’re flustered
Y/N:
Amazing weather we’re having
Despite the rain and all
Jason:
Alright, I’ll stop with the teasing
For now
Born in Gotham?
Y/N:
No
I am from Metropolis, moved here for school
Jason:
Any other reason?
Y/N:
Yeah, Superman kept destroying my apartment building
I’ve moved three times and somehow, he always finds the building I’m living in
Minute I graduated high school, I moved
Jason:
But why Gotham?
Y/N:
Gotham intrigues me
Jason:
You’re so weird
Y/N:
Thank you
Since you’re not in school, what do you do?
Jason:
Mechanic
Didn’t really want my dad’s help so I’m finding my way in life
Y/N:
Not a great relationship?
Jason:
You can say that
So, engineering huh?
Y/N:
Yup
I love building and taking things apart
Have since I was little
Jason:
Gonna change the world?
Y/N:
Imma try but can’t really do that while working at luthor corp
Jason:
Please tell me your joking
Y/N:
Ah, not a fan I see
Can’t blame you but I am not
It was one of the first places I’ve applied to and hear back right away
I accepted before getting my other interviews
Jason:
jumped the gun a bit
Y/N:
Yeah I did.
I wished I didn’t but oh well
I’ll find something better if this doesn’t work out
Jason:
Why don’t you quit now?
Y/N:
I am a broke college student who needs money
If I quit now, I’m not sure if I find someone to take me
Plus the hours working there are helping my schooling, so it’s kinda late to switch jobs
Jason:
Can’t believe I’m saying this
but try wanye enterprise
I hear they’re good to work for
Y/n:
I plan too eventually
But at the moment, this is fine
The hours I have now works with my school hours
Jason:
How’s working there anyways?
Y/N:
Not too bad I guess
I’m allowed to work on my own projects as long as I work on the assigned ones
The people are nice and all but it could be better
Jason:
But you don’t like it there?
Y/N:
I don’t like Lex Luthor and what he represents I guess
Jason:
So you believe that he’s trying to take down superman?
Y/N:
I’ve seen one of their fights
Nothing to believe
Jason:
Must of been some fight
Y/N:
Mm
So
What did you mean, I can’t believe I’m saying this?
Jason:
You can’t be weird about it
Y/N:
Oh?
I am intrigued
Jason:
You’re making it weird
Y/N:
I am not
It’s not like I said you have a crush on Bruce Wayne or something
That would have been weird
Jason:
Is this how you felt when I teased you?
Y/N:
Paybacks a bitch isn’t it?
Jason:
I hate you
Y/N:
Okay
Jason:
I do
Y/N:
You’re deflecting
Jason:
Oh my god
Fine
He’s my dad, well adoptive dad
Y/N:
Cool
Jason:
That’s it? You’re not going to fawn over him being my dad?
Ask me questions about what he’s like? Ask if the tabloids are true?
Y/N:
Nope
Tbh, I don’t care for Bruce
Like, I applaud him for what he’s trying to do for Gotham and all
But, seeing him on every magazine everywhere I go gets a bit tiring
He’s just another dude that people are obsessed with
Who cares if he’s rich
Besides, I’m talking to you aren’t I?
Who cares about Bruce Wayne
I wanna know Jason Todd
Jason:
You know? I think I may actually be in love
Y/N:
Stooooooop
You can’t say things like that
Jason
Why? Cuz you get flustered so easily?
Y/N
And if I do?
Jason
Gotta say it’s my favourite past time
Y/N
So, the reason you don’t have a great relationship with Bruce
Does it have anything to do with you being dead or something?
Jason
Wow
WOW
I cannot believe you
We go from what's your favourites to hard hitting questions huh?
I see how it is
Y/N
I told you they were coming
Jason
I just didn’t think you’d use it as a deflection tactic
Y/N
Yeah I want to say sorry
But I’m not
I’m sure you would use anything to get attention from yourself
Jason
Can’t do positive attention
Y/N
Eh
Jason
I hear you
And yes it is part of the reason why me and Bruce are not in good terms
Y/N
Mm, I’m sure he’s trying
Jason
In his own Bruce way yeah
Y/N
Are you?
Jason
I like to believe I am
Why the interest?
Y/N
I don’t know
Maybe it’s the fact that my relationship with my dad isn’t the best
Jason
You’re dad’s not Bruce Wayne’s too?
Y/N
HA
Then I would not be talking to you in this fashion
Jason
That is true
So then what?
Y/N
My mom says we are too similar to each other
Got the same attitude and all
I believe it
Growing up, it was all your useless and you’ll amount to nothing
Or he’ll ignore me, and I’d prefer that over the degrading
Only time he’d show his affection was if he was drunk
Jason
Wow
Sorry
Y/N
Yeah
It’s gotten better since I moved out
Now it’s there, and I’m still processing
Jason
Processing what?
Y/N
Mm
It’s a pretty heavy topic to get into with someone you just met
Jason
Can’t be worse than me being dead for months
Y/N
Months?!
How many?
Jason
Oh damn
You are a lot easier to talk with then who I normally socialize with
Y/N
I shall take that as a complement
Jason
As you should
And no, I will not be elaborating
Y/N
Alright fair
But I will get the story
Jason
Mm, I’m sure you will
So? Gonna answer my question
Y/N
Last year he was diagnosed with cancer
Not sure what it is, but it already spread
Jason
How long did the doctors give him?
Y/N
He didn’t want to know
Can’t blame him for
Jason
Sorry about that
Y/N
Yeah
Jason
You don’t sound to hurt about it
Y/N
Like I said, still processing it so I don’t know how to feel
With the childhood I had, I don’t know how too
But I know when it comes down to it, my emotions will hit me like a truck when the day comes
Jason
Well, soak up as much time as you can before you have any regrets
Y/N
Trying to
He is just making it impossible
Whoo boy! That was a lot of emotion for one night
I think I’m going to eat some ice cream and binge watch my favourite show
Jason
Sounds fun, wish I could join but I promised my brothers with help
Y/N
How many do you have?
Jason
Do you read anything about the Wayne family?
Y/N
Nope
What I know about him is what is whispered between my classes and work and even then I don’t listen to them
Jason
Really committed on not caring about him, huh
Four brothers and three sisters
Y/N
Big family
Jason
Bruce likes to adopt
Y/N
I can tell
Anyways, have fun tonight
Jason
I’ll try
Would you be interested in talking some more?
Y/N
I would love to
