( kyle smiles, and jason offers an easy grin in response. leans into the hug before he's curling fingers in against the nape of kyle's neck, pulling him into a soft kiss. keeps him close for a moment. )
I'll be back before you know it. Just gotta grab that idiot and drag him on back from wherever the hell he's gotten himself stuck. Won't even notice I'm gone.
( fingers grip onto kyle's wrist even as he lets go, pulling him in close for a moment so jason can press their foreheads together. takes a deep breath. )
[ kyle knows that. he knows. and yet he searches for the ring's pulse, lets it settle over his heard before he nods, leaning against jason for a moment. ]
Go. I'll be here.
[ he also generates a rope for jason to tie around his waist. ]
( he takes the nod as a good of a sign as he's going to get to know kyle'll be fine. takes the rope and laces it around his waist, before he's taking a step back, deeper into the shadow. )
This thing actually work? ( it's with a cheeky grin, raising the hand with the lantern ring on it. ) Hope I don't have to remember the damn code, cause I sure as hell wasn't listening to you or Jordan whenever you'd go off. What was it? In the brightest nigh--
( his boot sinks into the shadow, and the rest of jason follows after it - sinking deep into the expanding shadow along with the rope until whatever jason had opened under him simply closes. the rope breaks, and anything unnatural about the shadow fades. )
[ the rope snaps and he hurriedly tries to pull it back but it's too late. the shadow has vanished and there's no trace of it. no trace of jason. his breathing stutters and the panic nearly sets in.
he has to be patient. he has to wait. he has to — ion rumbles in his chest, beckoning. turn it off, turn it away.
kyle doesn't. he paces for a bit. waits. he has little else to do. eventually, he knows he'll have to leave. see to the others. be a green lantern.

I figured.
[ he gathers jason in his arms for a moment, leaving a kiss on his brow. ]
Come back to me. Both of you.

[ but kyle can't keep him here. the ring should help. if all else fails. his grip tightens for a moment out of fear before he gently lets go. ]
