[[OOC: I'm doing this alternate take on my own — fitting, because it's all happening in Jacinda's head — but there is some adaption from the original thread and my roleplay partner's words (hence the link). I might be slow on this, but I think I can finish it.]]
"Jason." Dick slides a hand up Jacinda's side, until his fingers brush against zir hair. He touches zir cheek, gently. "I only really want to if you want to."
The delicate handling has Jacinda looking at Dick, faintly annoyed. "Didn't I just say..?"
At that reassurance, Dick stops arguing and closes the distance -- his lips are soft and just barely moist as they brush against Jacinda's. After a few seconds, he pulls back far enough to get a good look at Jacinda's face. "I just wanted to be sure."
Jacinda makes a soft, broken sound when Dick kisses zir, and stammers out, "I... I..." unsure of what zie would even say. But Dick is looking at Jacinda with such a hopeful expression, so Jacinda reaches out and gently touches his face before leaning in to return the kiss -- softly, so softly. Jacinda stays close, lips brushing lightly against Dick's as zie admits in a whisper, "I don't know... what's going on with me... but I do like you. I'm happy when you're here."
Dick smiles at that, bright and relieved. He nuzzles his nose against Jacinda's, and rolls closer to wrap his arms around zir. "I like you too," he replies, and kisses Jacinda on the cheek. "You make me happy when I'm here. And you can take as much time as you need to figure things out, about yourself or us or anything. I'll be here."
Jacinda hugs him back, clinging tightly. Zir voice shakes a little as zie says, "Y-you've been so nice to me..."
(People being nice, and for no apparent motive, is a foreign concept to Jason Todd.)
Dick squeezes back, going for the patented Grayson full-body-contact hug, one leg wrapping around the back of Jacinda's -- literally pressed to zir from head to toe. He's really, really trying to ignore his erection right now.
So maybe a possible motive is pretty apparent, but Jacinda can't find it in zir to mind. Even so, erections are hard to ignore, particularly when pressed up against one's own body. Jacinda shifts zir legs, and presses one thigh more firmly against Dick's hard-on. It's a silent invitation for more contact, but Dick hesitates for a moment -- probably still a little concerned about the lack of certainty in Jacinda's words.
"Lie back," Jacinda whispers, pushing on Dick's chest until he moves to lie on his back as instructed. "I'll take care of you."
"You don't have to," Dick says softly.
"I know," Jacinda replies, even as zie shimmies zir body down the mattress, "but I want to."
