Beauty and the Marksman Jason Todd x Reader

Chapter 24: Dinner

Y/n's POV

Time passed by quick and it's almost time for whatever Jason is planning for us.

I stood in front of the bathroom mirror with the dress and heels on. I brushed my hair leaving it down since there isn't anything much here that I could do with my hair.

I slowly spin around with the dress as it made a little wave from the bottom part of the dress. I gave a soft smile at the dress as I grabbed the doorknob and walked out of the bathroom.

I stood in the room for a moment as I heard a knock on the door.

"Y/n?" I hear Jason call out to me.

"Yeah?"

"You ready?"

I let out a soft breath.

"Yes. I'm ready."

I hear the door opening as I see Jason come in, wearing a nice dark crimson suit.

Holy shit.

Not gonna lie. He looked extremely handsome with the suit on wearing dress shoes and neatly combed hair.

Jason stood there looking at me up and down, checking me out. He smiles at me.

"Wow. You look stunning." He sighed, walking towards me.

"Thank you." I replied, looking up and down at him as well. "You don't look so bad yourself."

Jason let's out a soft chuckle as he offers me his arm.

"Shall we?"

Alright then, let's get this over with.

I wrapped my arm around his in return.

"We shall."

We walked out of the room as we made our way to wherever Jason planned for tonight. We walked into what seems like a balcony.

'It looks so beautiful.' I thought looking at the view, especially looking out at the city view of Gotham.

The further we walked towards the balcony, I suddenly smell dinner of whatever Jason made.

Both plates of sliced rotisserie chicken on the side of rice and beans. Candles lit in the center of the rounds table with two champagne glasses on the side of our plates.

Smells really good.

I looked around at the balcony with all these lit up lights. The view of Gotham has to be my favorite.

Suddenly I felt something going around my neck and I realized Jason is putting a necklace on me.

A red heart shaped locket.

"What is-"

"You can open it when the night ends." Jason spoke, putting both of his hands on my shoulders from behind. "Right now, I just want to make this the night to remember. No arguing. No sarcasm. Just us like how it was before."

I look over my shoulder at him as I nodded.

"Okay."

We both walked to the table as Jason pulls out my chair. I sit down on the chair and Jason gently pushes the chair in for me. He sits down at the chair and smiles.

I give him a soft smile back to him.

As minutes went on, it felt like hours. We were talking and laughing.

Joy was filling up between us.

Like anything he did never happened.

This moment was almost just like how it was before.

I playfully took a scope of his food and took a bite as Jason playfully told me I had my own as I told him I liked his better.

Jason picks up his glass. I picked my glass as well.

"Cheers." We spoke at the same time, clinking our glasses together, taking a sip of our own glass.

Moments went by as we went into silent. Jason grabs my hand as he rubs his thumb against my knuckles. I let out a sigh as I smiled at Jason once again.

"How long did you have this planned?" I asked him.

"Long enough for me to see you again. A few months I would say. I never stopped thinking about you. This is what I want for us, Y/n. A life...a future together someday. May not be now, but no matter what you say to me, I will wait for you." Jason responded, pulling my hand towards his lips, giving me a small kiss on my knuckles.

No matter what, I will always want Jason. He never left my mind ever since what happened to him. I won't stop till I bring him home to me. To Bruce. To everyone.

"I'll wait as well." I spoke

Jason didn't say anything. Almost seems like he was admiring me tonight.

"I can't stop thinking how much you do look stunning tonight." He said, releasing my hand.

I chuckled at his comment. I blushed and looked away for a moment. I look back at him as I put my elbow on the table and placed my hand under my chin, admiring him as well.

"And I can't stop thinking how much you did all of this...and how much you look kinda sexy tonight." I said, tilting my head slightly to the side.

"Kinda?" Jason raised an eyebrow at me as I let out a soft laugh as he chuckles. He clears a throat. "Um...there's also something I planned and you wouldn't believe me what it is."

"What is it?" I asked him.

He gets up from his chair as he straightens his suit and pulls out his hand.

I look up at him, confused.

"Jason?"

"C'mon. It's in the spare room."
