[It's not like Dick doesn't know he shares a good amount of responsibility for how things went. Part of the problem is that he can acknowledge that he has limits sometimes. What Jason needed, more than a few times, was well beyond what Dick could do.]

[It's hard to offer a hand when you're still juggling other people's problems.]

I should have been. I'm sorry I wasn't. I'm trying to be better about it now.

I will do everything I can to help you out. I just need to figure out when I need to be more proactive because not everybody is comfortable asking when they need help.

i meant before that

( before he'd even been taken under bruce's wing. before he'd been robin. hell, dick's phone number and bruce's support was the most support he'd gotten - as far as he can remember. his mom tried, but she could only do much in her condition. jason learned not to ask for help, he learned to be independent. that independence and inability to lean on others is one of the biggest factors of why he'd fucked off and gotten himself killed, as far as jason's concerned.

and part of why he'd gotten himself in deep shit when he'd come back. why he got himself so fucked over. why when dick had offered jason his hand, jason had pushed it away. )

i know i'm not alone now
that i can ask if i need it

[Dick's not always great with words, but he wants to be.]

Are you in Central right now? No, wait, you're in New York, aren't you?

I owe you a hug next time you're in town.

[reneger]

[forceforlight]

Since when do you need to be a kid to get a hug?

[reneger]
