( getting it out of the way first because he knows that if he starts off with anything else, dick's just going to keep running through what jason's trying to say until he says it. )
Not to move him in with us, but for me to register as the guy who's watching out for him. I told him I'd have to talk to you first before I gave him an answer, 'cause first and foremost, I promised to look after you. And what you want matters.
( with a lift of his shoulders, and jason's offering a little quieter - )
I know when I showed up, Grayson wasn't given that at all. A heads up or anything, I just showed up, B had adoption papers signed, an' it was a done deal. And it wasn't fun. I don't wanna do that to you. I'm not gonna do anything big like that without making sure you're comfortable with it. ( he's very intentionally not giving dick room to fit a word in yet, because as soon as he does speak up, jason's going to fuck up and forget to mention something on his list of shit he needs to say. ) An' I know I've been a shit guardian, too. I left you behind twice. You don't deserve that. I'm trying to be better.
