"Jason, pleeeeeease?" Dick begged.

Jason rose an eyebrow. "No."

"Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease? Please Jason? Please? Please? Please? Plea-"

Jason covered his ears and glared at Dick. "Shut it, won't you? I'm not staying for Christmas! I got places to go and things to do."

Dick pouted. "Aw, c'mon. Don't be like Bruce. What's with this family? No one ever wants to celebrate Christmas with me."

Jason deadpanned. "That's because it's stupid. And I don't have time for it.  And if you haven't noticed, any time we all get together, fighting breaks out."

"So? That's just what families do! Even if this family is a bit different than others..."

Jason scoffed. "Give me one reason why I should."

"Because we all love you and want you there?"  Dick offered.

Jason narrowed his eyes.

Dick bit his lip nervously. He had to get Jason to stay. Christmas without the whole fam wouldn't be the same. "Would you stay if I said 'please' again?"

"No!" Jason exclaimed. He turned and started to walk out of the door. "I'm not celebrating Christmas with you. That's my final answer."

There was a pause. Then Dick took his phone out, and tsked before shaking his head. "Sorry Jason," he said. "I did t want to do this, but if it means you'll stay-"

Dick showed him his phone. On it, was a picture of Jason, alone in the Batcave, trying on Batman's suit and cowl.

Dick smirked.

Jason's mouth fell open. "Wha--- How did you get this? What? No one else was home! And I made sure all the hidden cameras were off!"  He glared at Dick. "I swear, if you show that picture to anyone-"

Dick laughed. "Dressing up as B? Really?"

"Shut up," Jason mumbled.

Dick smirked again. "I promise I'll delete this picture if you agree to spend both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with us."

Jason's expression strained, as if he was trying hard not to lose his temper. He gritted his teeth. "Fine," he muttered through his teeth.

Dick grinned. "Yes! You won't regret this, I promise!" He walked away, humming Christmas carols to himself.

Jason grimaced. "Yeah, I'm already regretting this."
