Jason Todd: Jinxed
“For fuck’s sake!” You hear a groan coming from the bathroom.
“What, babe? Diarrhoea and no toilet paper? I’ll get you some.” You reply from your bedroom, not taking your eyes off of your book.
“Nope, the toilet’s just gone bust. No way in hell am I gonna bother fixing that when I’ve got shit to do.” Jason grumbles, walking back into your bedroom and flopping down next to you. Instinctively, you reach down and stroke his silky black hair which earns you a contented hum from Jason.
“You know my knowledge about plumbing is basically nonexistent. How about we just call a plumber so we don’t have to deal with it?” You suggest and Jason nods.
The following morning, you both await for the plumber to come. “You know, there’s literally only one type of plumber.” Jason says as he mixes his oatmeal around.
“There is?” You arch a brow.
“Yeah, literally any time I’ve needed a plumber they’re always an overweight middle aged man who leans over your sink or toilet, exposing their ass crack.” Jason makes an expression as he explains.
“Hmm. You’re kinda right, I suppose.” You take a sip of your coffee.
“Kinda?! Babe, I’m always r-“ Jason’s sentence is cut off by the doorbell.
“Must be him.” You comment as you spring up to get the door. You didn’t expect to come face to face with a tall, attractive man who’s just about the same age as you.
“Hi, you called about a flushing issue yesterday, right?” The man smiles, flashing his perfect straight teeth.
“Yeah, I did. I’ll show you the way.” You nod, ushering him in and closing the door. You lead him through your bedroom and into the bathroom which you shared with Jason.
“So, whenever we try to flush it just…” You demonstrate, with the toilet spewing out a little bit of water and then nothing happening.
“Ah, a pretty common problem. I’ll take a look.” The man sets down his toolbox. “By the way…” He adds on.
“Yeah?”
“I don’t know you, do I? You look really familiar.” He says, tilting his head to the side a little.
“Probably not?” You shrug, as you hear Jason’s footsteps near.
“Huh, strange. You’re beautiful, anyway.” He comments with a smile as he begins to open the sink.
“Hey babe. Everything okay in here?” Jason appears in the doorway, which prompts you to stop leaning on the wall and face him.
“Yeah, he says it’s a pretty common problem so it shouldn’t be too hard to fix.” You nod.
“You’re givin’ me too much credit.” The hot plumber smirks at you in a sexy manner, before shifting his focus back to his work. You turn back to Jason, who has a ‘what the fuck was that’ expression all over his face. In reply, you give him a ‘I don’t know, he was like this since he stepped foot inside’ shrug. Jason rolls his eyes in his direction and you both return to your bed as you watch the plumber from afar.
“Hey, sorry, I just need some confirmation on this…” The plumber calls out to you, as you detach yourself from Jason’s arms and your favourite show to see what the plumber was going on about.
“Your water pressure is pretty low, I think that contributed to the flushing issue. Do you ever flush things down your toilet which you shouldn’t? I may need to actually unclog something.” The man says, halfheartedly throwing his wrench back in the toolbox as he stretched his arms behind his head, flexing his arm muscles. You remain unbothered, mostly because, well… Have you seen Jason Todd’s body? You almost shake your head, but then remember that Jason might’ve flushed some weird shit down your toilet.
“Jay?” You call out, much to the plumbers dismay.
“Yeah?” He asks, walking into the room. God, when did he change into those grey sweatpants and that tight black shirt? …He knows exactly what he’s doing.
“The plumber asked if you flush anything you shouldn’t down our toilet.” You step towards him as he places his large hand on the small of your back.
“Umm…” Jason begins, trying to think of a way to explain that time when he almost used a Molotov cocktail. In a panic he flushed the cloth with the alcohol down the toilet. This may or may not have happened more than once since he got used to the sheer convenience of disposing a flammable item. “There might be some cloth in there.” Jason scratches the back of his neck, and you already know why some cloth could be down there.
“…Alright. After I unclog the pipes then it should be good to go.” The plumber says, turning his attention back to the sink.
Jason stayed with you the rest of the time, since the unclogging didn’t take very long. The plumber didn’t try anything when he was around, however when it came around to paying him… It was a different story.
“Thanks for all your hard work. Here’s the cash and a tip.” You smile, placing the money in his hand.
“Thank you gorgeous. And if you ever wanna spend some time with a real man… Well, you have my number.” He smirked, a flirty expression in his sea green eyes.
“No thank you. I’m very happy with who I’m with.” You shoot him down, now getting a little irritated at his advances.
“I bet I could make you happier.” He quips back with a seductive grin.
“You really can’t.” Jason yawns, suddenly appearing by your side and slinging his arm over your shoulder.
“And what makes you think that?” The plumber scoffs.
“Do you enjoy trying my patience?” Jason steps forward. While the plumber is tall already, Jason was a good couple of inches taller – not to mention Jason is far more built. Still, it was a fight waiting to happen. You sigh, gently placing your hand on Jason’s chest as you slightly push him backwards.
“I think it’s best you leave. Thank you for your time.” You say firmly, the plumber being practically forced out of your door.
You shut the door and sigh, rolling your eyes. “Babe! I totally had that.”
“You were about to punch him in the face!” You point out.
“I’m just doing Gotham a service…” Jason jokingly defends himself.
“Maybe next time you shouldn’t jinx yourself like that.” You tease.
“Yeah, yeah.” Jason rolls his eyes, scooping you up in his arms as he plants a kiss on your nose.
