There are days when I feel productive. :) Glad you like it.

[cohero]

[Standing back for a little bit, Dick watches as Jason finds a little bit of a shopping groove. He figured that the sunglasses might do it for him. They're easier than clothes and a little more personal. They give that vibe that top everything off too. It's like how some people get tattoos, or earrings. There are some people that live by their sunglasses. Maybe it's an odd comparison, but it's something that Dick's noticed about people during all his time spent watching them.

He grins at Jason's choice. Dick had made his not that much earlier. They both seem to fit their personalities very well. ]

I think they fit you well. Keep them on, you'll be happy you did. Blue eyes and the sun don't mix. How about mine, do they suit me? So, I think that's about it. I'll let you pick out your dress outfit online and then we'll get it tailored if we need to. Remember, it's dress for you, not anyone else. I'm also getting us a couple of things to wear to the luau the last night. I promise I won't do you wrong.

[He walks over and kisses Jason on the neck.]

Is there anything that you can think of that you want? I'm buying? Watches, jewelry? Tattoos? Nose piercings?

[Dick laughs]

That was very productive! I love all of it a lot :D

[nomorefear]

[ Dick is right, it's a lot easier to shop for sunglasses. Jason feels a little more in his zone. He might get that way with shoes too. He still wants a cool pair of boots.

For now though, he shows off his sunglasses, smiling when Dick says they fit him well. He definitely feels better about this now. They're gonna be so fucking stylish. Hottest couple out there. ]

Oh yeah, those are definitely you. Get those and I'll get this pair, then. They're cool. Ooh... maybe these too.

[He picks up a pair of wayfarers and tries those on too. Yeah, he's into the sunglasses for sure.]

Hah yeah, I'd love to fucking see you get a tattoo. I uh... can we check out the shoes? The boots?

[cohero]

[All the glasses are added to a little basket that gets put with the rest of their stuff. Dick thinks they all look great on Jason. He picks out one more pair that have blue highlights along the edges and look pretty sweet on. He's happy enough.

He can't believe that he forgot the boots that Jason wanted. Shoes are easily something that are nice to collect. Dick has his fair share at home. He might pick up another pair of loafers, and some good sandals, maybe one more pair of tennis shoes. There really can't be enough of those in the world. ]

This way to the shoes. [Dick points to the escalator. The shoes are up a floor. ]

What tattoo do you want me to get? Your name on my chest?

[nomorefear]

[ Loafers, sandals and tennis shoes- how very Dick. Jason's more into his boots and black converse. He's pretty sure he's never worn a pair of flip flops in his life, even when he was in SF. New things all around, it seems.

He follows Dick back to the escalator, letting out a soft laugh at Dick's question. ]

Isn't that like, real white trash? You sure you wouldn't get it as a tramp stamp instead?

[cohero]

[Dick shares a wide grin with Jason and a blustering laugh.]

No way, was gonna get it right above my cock, and have it read, Belong's to Jason Todd. Then the date. Gotta make it real official like. Or Maybe I'd just get a really smooth replica of your mask on my shoulder. No one would know. They'd just think I was a fan.

[nomorefear]

Fucking ouch.

[He shudders at the thought of it in such a sensitive spot.]

My mask, huh? That would be kinda cool. Would I get yours too, then?

[cohero]

It's better than the people that get things around their assholes. I've seen them on some of those tattoo shows late at night when I can't sleep.

[He shakes his head in bewilderment at some of the stupid ass things that people do.]

You could if you wanted to. You know I'd never force you to do anything like that. It was a thought. I want a piece of you, a reminder, forever put on me. I don't think it'd be so horrible at all.

[nomorefear]

Holy shit, Dick. I can't believe you're telling me this right now.

[He laughs hard, leaning in against Dick as they get off the escalator and head for the shoes.]

Tattoos can be sexy. I've never thought about it before, though. And then-- you know what Bruce always said. No identifying marks.

[cohero]

What, they're funny shit. I mean, these shows are hilarious. How do you think I got the idea to tattoo something above my junk, because I saw people do it. I think some guy had something to do with sucking and cunts put above his cock, and he got a tattoo redo. I love those shows too, cause you see the trash people have turned into something nice at least.

[He's laughing too, cause it's both funny, and Jason's laughter is incredibly infectious. Leaning over he kisses Jason on the cheek.]

Tattoos are super sexy, and we aren't with the Bat, plus our costumes cover the shoulders, arms, legs. I mean, we have plenty of places that no one would ever see on us. There are places we get our suits ripped more often, try to stay away from that, but the suit's better and better now. I want to be sexy. There's a parlor right next door. We should do it today.

[nomorefear]

Man, we definitely need to watch more TV together. I've never seen you watch these shows before.

[He's highly amused by the image of Dick sitting down and watching this kind of trash TV.]

I'm surprised you even wanna get a tattoo after all that.

[His eyebrows shoot up and he slows a little.]

Today? Whoa. How spontaneous of you, Dick Grayson.

[cohero]

I watch them when I should be working from time to time, when I'm stumped on something. It gets my flow going and then there's the nights when I can't sleep and it's better than pacing. This is the quality crap that's on. I promise, I'll put some on next time we are curled up in bed together.

[Hooking an around around him when they move into the shoes, picking up this pair and that before setting it down again with a wrinkled nose. It's hard to pick out something exactly right.]

What, it's not like I'm getting something weird put on me in the middle of my ass cheek. Why can't I get one today? What's wrong with being spontaneous. I used to do it all the time, still do when I'm fighting. Never know what's gonna happen when you're out there. It's good to be able to switch it up from time to time.

[nomorefear]

Hell yes. I definitely wanna watch dudes tattooing their dicks before we go to sleep.

[Forgive him, he's very distracted from the shoes at the moment. Dick is talking about the two of them getting tattoos and he adds that to the list of things he didn't think would ever happen.]

No- you know me, I fucking love being spontaneous. I love switching it up. It's just different when it comes to you. A tattoo is a bit commitment.

[cohero]

It could be girls getting a weird looking tramp stamp covered up too. I know that you'd rather see dicks, but it's still funny.

[Teasing Jason, Dick nudges him, laughing. He finds a pair of black Tims that actually look like something Jason might wear and points them out, while he fingers a leather pair of boots across the way. It's really hard not to appreciate a good looking pair of boots in their line of work. ]

I figured that, but you know I've already thought about getting a part of you tattooed on me. I hadn't figured out what I wanted, but you're mine and I'm yours, and I know that's not going to change, ever. It's like the best kind of hickey I can have.

[nomorefear]

Hey, I'm good with either.

[He looks at the shoes, picking up the one Dick points out, but he's still stuck on the tattoo thing. Dick is definitely swaying him in that direction, even if it's not something he's ever thought about before.]

Okay. But-- I don't know if I wanna get a mask tattoo. It's a really cool idea and I like it, but when it comes to us... it's outside of just masks, you know? I know how sentimental that sounds, but it's something I love about you. About us. You love me for me, even without the masks.

[cohero]

Bad tattoos are hilarious in general.

[It's been on Dick's mind for a while, and he hadn't thought about getting a mask, really. So, it's nice when Jason says something first. Moving up behind him, Dick snakes his arms around Jason and kisses the back of his neck.]

I feel the same way. Our masks are who we are to the world around us, and not to one another. We are beyond that, and always have been. You loved me before I ever knew, and i loved you before I ever thought I should. We need to get something that's very meaningful to the both of us.

[nomorefear]

[ He smiles softly, leaning back against Dick. It's amazing how easily he's able to relax around the other. It amazes him how much Dick understands him these days, too.

It took a lot to get here, but now they have and it's so good. ]

Yes. Exactly that. Something meaningful to the both of us. I'd be into that.

[cohero]

[Knowing what it means to be here, relaxing against one another in a wide open public place, Dick can only smile. It doesn't matter that there are barely any people around. There's this step that they've taken together in their relationship. Today they are out together as Dick and Jason, couple. What a thought that brings, he kisses jason a few more times and whispers that he loves him in his ear.]

First, where do you want it. That's going to play into what it is, and how big do you want it to be. I mean, I don't think we want giant tattoos today, but I'm open as to where we put them. I'd like to keep them in matching spots so that if they work together, or match our bodies will line up and show that.

[nomorefear]

[ He loves this so much. The two of them being out together as Dick and Jason- a couple. This day is going better than he thought it would. And now? With the added excitement of getting a tattoo?

It feels like a big commitment, but he likes it. ]

Maybe a good place would be on our arm? Or back? Not too big, yeah. Especially cause we're going on a trip and we don't want the healing to be a bitch and a half.

[cohero]

[There's a phrase Dick had seen earlier and he loved it, and now he has an idea. He tugs Jason over to the side and pulls up google and spends several minutes running through ideas and shaking his head, turning his nose up. Then he pulls up a picture and he asks...]

How about this on your right shoulder with the phrase "You see all my light." and I would get a black copy on my left shoulder with the phrase "You love all my dark" It would look a little like this lettering wise, but it would be beside our dragons.

[Holding up his phone, Dick pulled up a picture he found of a tattoo he saw a while ago, and really thought the wording suited them. While they both saw the light and dark in one another, Dick saw all the light that there was in Jason, and could see nothing different, and through all things, Jason loved Dick through all the mess that he put him through. The ups and downs and the insecurities that he still chased. The sliver of darkness that had been left behind, Jason always came back and loved Dick through it all. Sure, there was one more issue of darkness that Dick had left to confess, but he would do that while they got their tattoos. It would be a confession of pain and would be cathartic as their adrenaline flowed. ]

[nomorefear]

[ Jason's happy to move off to the side to look at tattoos. It's so surreal, but it seems like they're really gonna do this. He watches Dick look through options, smiling at the look on his face before he looks down at his screen to check out the options as well.

His smile turns soft when Dick tells him about the quote. It touches his heart, and he's amazed that Dick could find something that really seems to incapsulate them. ]

I love that quote. It's perfect. What if-- what if we got a phoenix, though. You know, like... rising up from the ashes kinda thing?

[cohero]

[Dick had spun so much time and thought into this vacation, and he'd honestly already thought of getting a tattoo during it at some point, and so these thoughts weren't as far away from his mind as Jason might think.

Honestly, Dick spent a lot of time thinking about Jason in general, enough lately that it had been distracting but in a good way. This was all he'd ever been looking for in life and it made him beyond happy. The idea of switching it up to phoenixes has Dick nodding. It had been a thing that had crossed his mind, honestly. He dismissed it, but now when Jason brings it up again, he realizes how brilliant it really is. ]

You're right. It really should be a phoenix. We've both been reborn like a phoenix. They are normally larger when done on men, and not as often done in grayscales because it's a fire bird. We could do this and keep it as it is, using our words bedside it, or see if we can do something like this one in a smaller size, and maybe even see if they can shade one bird lighter than the other. I'm not sure if it's possible, but anything is doable with money. I don't mind using it to get us what we want today. If there are any that you like, feel more than free to point them out. I'm barely scratching the surface of what's out there when it comes to phoenix tattoos. They are truly beautiful.

[nomorefear]

[ It's nice that Dick is sharing these thoughts with him. Jason really had no idea Dick would ever want to get a tattoo. Now though, it seems like he really has put a lot of thought into it. It leaves Jason a little more curious, too.

Sometimes he doesn't know what's going on in that head of his- but he likes these surprises. ]

I really like the colorful one. I like that it's bright and I like the silhouette. We can put our words beside it.

[He smiles, looking at Dick.]

Do you like it? I want you to be good with this too.

[cohero]

[There's always so much going through his mind, and he does his best to try and share it, but he feels like a lot of time they're working so much that they don't always get the time needed, but at least for now they have a lock down on it. This is their time and nothing and noone can spoil it.

This will be a bond that lasts a lifetime, exactly like he wants all things pertaining to them to be like.]

The colorful one is absolutely stunning, why do you think I shared it with you. It's us. You and I flying through the sky together on our new journey through life. The words make absolute sense next to it. If we get it on matching shoulders, then when we walk together they will be together like we are and the words will mean something like the phoenixes will, all telling the story of us.

[nomorefear]

[ That's why this vacation will be good for them. They'll have the time they need to share more than they have before. Jason's looking forward to it. ]

I like that. I like it a lot.

[He smiles big and bright, leaning in to kiss Dick, moving a hand to his face.]

I love that we're doing this. I love you.

[cohero]

[Every step closer, makes Dick all the more eager and excited himself. It brings out all the sides that have been tucked away because they dive so hard into what they do, and spend the rest of the time drinking-- one of them or both of them. There will be time for all that, minus work, but so much more fun. Dick's already starting the fun, and he's ready to get out of here and on the way to getting their tattoos.]

Good, I'm happy about it all too.

[Dick sticks his phone away, and moves to turn, only to walk into a kiss and a hand on his face. Pulling Jason into him, he looks over at him with a small shake of his head.]

I love that we're doing this, and if you had any idea how much I love you, you'd see that it was the simplest decision I've ever made. I love you, Jason, I love you so very much. Thank you for loving me back.
