Jason slid his phone back in his pocket and finished picking up the last pieces of glass.

"Hey Dick, are you ready to get out of here?" asked Jason but was only met with no answer and sniffles. Jason turned around and looked over at Dick.
His body was slightly shaking and a few tears fell from his eyes but he seemed to not notice this as he dazed off in the distance. 
"Dick?" asked Jason but was met with silence so he slowly approached Dick. He seemed totally unaware of him walking slowly over towards him.

Jason stood before Dick and just watched him as more tears fell from his broken blue eyes making Jason that much more concerned about his new friend. Jason slowly bent down to be eye level with Dick and without even thinking, he reached his hand out and placed it on Dick's knee.

As soon as his hand touched Dick's knee, Dick jumped backwards, pressing his back against the wall as hard as he could, trying to get away from whom ever was going to attack him. This broke Jason's heart to see so much fear held within Dick. His blue eyes were so wide and at first it looked like he didn't even know that it was him there before him and that he meant him no harm, no harm whatsoever.

"He probably thought I was his terrible, piece of crap foster dad'' thought Jason a bit of anger filled him and shown upon his face which caused Dick to panic even more. Jason's eyes widen at this and he inhaled sharply and allowed the hurt and sadness flow over him, and also fear.

Jason gazed at Dick. He loved being around him ever since he first met him in the old music room. He couldn't explain it at all but there was this pull, this connection between him and Dick and it consumed him completely. 
At this moment, all Jason wanted to do was pull Dick into his chest and wrap his arms tightly around him to keep him safe, to make him feel safe and wanted. 

Just then a large stream of tears began to pour out of Dick's eyes and this hurt Jason even more. He slowly reached out towards Dick, his heart pounding so loudly within his chest and he felt like all the air was sucked out of him and the room. He was so nervous about this, about reaching out and comforting Dick but he wanted to. He wanted to be the one to comfort Dick, he wanted to be the one Dick came to, the person that made him happy and feel wanted. Jason wanted to be so much to Dick because helping him out, being just around him filled Jason up with happiness and a warmth that he was unfamiliar with. 

Jason suddenly cupped Dick's face. His green eyes watching Dick carefully, so afraid that he would pull away and have fear all on his face but he didn't and that warmed Jason up a bit.

Dick closed his eyes and turned his face away from Jason. This just made Jason want to hold Dick even more. 
This whole thing was very upsetting to the both of them, actually the whole day was pretty bad. Jason knew that Dick had a horrible evening at his foster parent's home, it was clearly written all over his face and appeared on his body with the bruises he could see peeking out from under his school uniform t-shirt, plus the injuries on his face.

He saw the tears still running down Dick's checks and he ever so gently rubbed his thumb across his check, whipping the tears away. Jason could see a small blush dance across his checks and a small smile formed on his face. He watched sadly as a frown formed on Dick's face and his eye brows crunched up, he looked confused and Jason was wondering why he was and what was going within his head.

After about a moment, Dick finally looked up at him and Jason melted into Dick's blue eyes. He smiled at him and he regrettably pulled his hand away from Dick's face and then stood up, holding out a hand for Dick to take. Dick looked from him to his hand before he accepted it and allowed Jason to pull him to his feet. 
They then turned and slowly made their way out of the bathroom and headed outside to meet someone who was going to be a big help to the both of them.
---------------------------------

Dick looked at the back of Jason's head then down at their hands that were still connected as the walked down the hall and headed towards the doors that lead outside. Jason had a strong but gentle hold upon his hand that sent small waves of warmth and shivers throughout him.

He smiled but it soon faded when they walked outside and came over towards a large, expensive car. Dick felt super nervous and uncertain about this and he pulled his hand out of Jason's hold, which he liked so much. As soon as he did this, Jason turned around to face him with a look of shock on his face.

But he could see that Jason understood and came back over towards him and looked at him with so much kindness.

"Dick, don't worry okay. There is nothing to be afraid of,'' said Jason who looked into his eyes, "I'm right here.''
When Dick's eyes connected with Jason he could almost read them. It was strange but he could tell by just looking at Jason, what he was asking without speaking. Jason was asking him if he could take his hand within his again. Dick smiled and nodded his head 'yes' which made Jason smile in return. 

Jason slowly reached out and took Dick's uninjured hand and gave it a tiny squeeze then he led him closer towards the car.
The driver side door opened up and an elderly man stepped out and smiled at them. Dick subconsciously took a step back, he didn't know who this person was and was uncertain that this person didn't mean him no harm.

"Hello Master Jason. And this must be mister Dick, it is a pleasure to met you sir'' said the elderly man who held his hand out towards Dick. Dick looked over at Jason, silently asking if it was okay to trust this man and with one glance at him, Dick knew right away that this man could be trusted. Jason let go of his hand so he could shake the elderly man's hand.

"Dick, this is Alfred. He's family, it's okay to trust him'' said Jason. At the word family caused a small ping of pain inside of Dick, he had no family. He had no one who was there for him when he needed someone but at the thought Dick froze and looked over at Jason.

He did have Jason, and even though he wasn't family he was someone who seemed to care about him and was always around. Dick still couldn't understand what Jason saw in him or why he stayed around him. But he couldn't help but like the feeling he got when he was with him and when Jason was kind and caring towards him.

Alfred gently shook Dick's hand and sent him a warm smile and for some odd reason, Dick trusted this old man and wanted to get to know him better.

Jason and Dick slowly entered into the back of the car as Alfred got into the driver seat and set off down the road. 
Dick was so nervous even though at the moment he was in no harm whatsoever and felt safe around these two. He was heading towards Jason's home and he knew that he was in no way going to measure up to their standards. 
Their school was for the rich and smart, so Jason was either both or just plain rich and that's why he went there. He glanced around the car, it was probably the most expensive thing he has even been in, in his entire life.

They soon rounded a corner and Dick's eyes widen. 
"This place is huge" thought Dick and Jason began to chuckle at his face, causing Dick's face to now redden with embarrassment. He bent his head down and his eyes now widen with fear as he saw the bottom half of his sleeve stain red with his blood from his self harm cuts on his wrists.

"Great'' thought Dick, "they're bleeding through, how am I gonna hide this now?"

The car came to a stop and Alfred looked back at them, "Welcome home sir'' said Alfred who stepped out and then opened the door for them. Dick looked up and met Alfred's eyes. Dick right away could tell that the elderly man had noticed his sleeve and held concern in his eyes, which surprised Dick completely. He had just met this person and yet he already seem to care about his, why?

Dick stood out of the car and hid his arm behind his back and looked over at Jason to see if he had noticed but he didn't seem aware of it so Dick sigh in relief. 

"Hey Alf, you got any of your cookies in the kitchen?" asked Jason who tossed his and Dick's book bags over his shoulders and headed towards the large house followed by Alfred. Dick remained by the car and looked down at the ground.

"I don't belong here. Not in this kind of place, I'm trash'' thought Dick but Jason broke him out of his thoughts.

"Dick! You coming?" said Jason who looked at him and silently told him it was okay. Dick for a moment wanted to turn around and leave but just one look at Jason and he felt alright. So he nodded his head and slowly made his way with Jason into the large home.
