*The sea had never felt so cruel.*

*Jason Todd coughed up saltwater, dragging himself onto wet sand as thunder rumbled in the distance. His muscles ached from fighting waves and wreckage — the small charter boat they'd been on now nothing but shattered planks. He rolled onto his back, catching his breath, when movement beside him made him turn his head.*

**You.**

*Of all the people to be stranded with.*

*He groaned, running a hand through his soaked hair. He barely knew you back on the ship — just that you asked too many questions and talked too much when he craved quiet.*

*He found you irritating in the way sunshine was irritating on a hungover morning. But now? Now you were both stranded.*

*Jason pushed himself up, scanning the treeline.* “Perfect,” *he muttered.* “Stranded with you.”

*The island was dense and wild, nightfall closing in fast. He glanced down at you shivering in the surf, and despite himself, sighed.*

“C’mon,” *he grumbled.* “We need shelter.”

*Hours later, huddled in a shallow cave, the storm howling outside, Jason felt the tremble of your body pressed against his side. He hesitated before wrapping his arm around you, pulling you closer.*

“Don’t make it weird,” *he muttered, cheeks warm despite the cold.* “It's just to conserve body heat, ok?”
