thank you if your write this! you're an amazingg writer âŒïž
never leaving
pairing: theo nott x reader
content: your insecurities push you to break your friendship with Theo, only to realize you were wrong all along.
a/n: hope this matches your expectations, I'm sorry if it didn't<33 (also I feel like I'm apologizing in every a/n)
You could say that Theo took you in, he was the only person in your life that ever made you feel too comfortable. When you were on the train, he had befriended you and he never let his friendship falter.
Theo was everything, he was all you could ever need and it scared you how much you were dependent on him. You had never needed anyone, always doing everything by yourself but you could see that changing.
Friends weren't a usual sight in your life and Theo had changed that, but you still had your doubts and maybe that's why you had decided to tell him.
You always had a lingering feeling, that he was taking pity on you because who would willingly spend so much time with you, call themselves your best friend, he had no reason to do it.
You spotted Theo in the hallway along with Mattheo and Enzo. The former two were smoking, and Theo's eyes met yours, and he immediately threw down his cigarette, crushing it using the sole of his shoe.
His eyes stayed on you while yours diverted here and there, ashamed to even meet his gaze. You wanted to be with him, but he was ruining his life for you, he was way too enamored and you wanted to help him.
You reached the group and scrunched your nose at the nicotine smell, Theo noticed this and dragged you away. Why does he have to be sweet and make this harder? you thought.
"Theo, I-" You questioned yourself, he was the only person who knew you but it would be too selfish to make him stay, so you continued, "I don't think we should be friends anymore"
Maybe friends wasn't the right word to describe you two, you weren't dating but he never dated anyone else and it's not like you could. You always hoped it was because he harbored some feelings for you but that had been a foolish fantasy.
"Y/n, I'm sorry sweetheart, I won't ever smoke again, I mean this was the first time in weeks, I really am trying" what? he thought this was about him smoking?
"No, Theo it's not about that." you simply stated trying to make him understand about you suddenly pulling away. He stared at you, his mouth opening and closing as if he wanted to say something but really could find the words.
"You can't do this, you cannot wake up on a random day and decide to remove me from your life as if I'm a pawn in your chess board" he was almost yelling, Theo had never yelled at you nor had he ever gotten angry at you, it was always you being mad and him picking up on it.
You remembered a scenario from second year and how different times had gotten now, you had changed and him not so much but you guess it was for his better.
"Where's y/n?" The twelve year old Theodore Nott asked his friend and said friend just shrugged in response before saying, "She hasn't been talking to anyone."
You're mad, he knew you were you always shut everyone out when you were, falling silent and Theo knew just how to better your mood and so he headed in your direction.
Your flashback stopped when you saw a tear fall from his eyes, you had never seen Theo cry either, only once and that too not intentionally. He was showing every emotion of his and you stood there unable to think, mumbling a sorry before leaving him stranded in that hallway.
Theo was shocked, hurt, angry and was feeling all these emotions at once. He had known you for six years and you had left him in six minutes. He loved you and you couldn't see it.
He knocked on your door for the fifteenth time, and you finally opened it. Your eyes were red and puffed up, you were crying.
"Why are you doing this?" He asked in a small voice unlike the one he used in the hallway, he was scared to lose you.
"You don't need to take anymore pity on me, Theo, go live your life" you said with a sniffle in the end and your statement had only made him more confused.
Pity? he had never taken pity on you, and it hurt himself that you believed that nonsense. "You can't replace me y/n, I'm forever, no matter what."
You so wanted to believe him, you so wanted to be in his arms right now, you so wanted him to stop as he was doing right now but you just couldn't.
"I'm sorry Theo, but I have to" Those were last words to him before you shut the door and Theo couldn't sleep that night.
It had been 2 months, 18 days of you ignoring him and he thought he might go mad, you were driving him crazy, you not being there was so much worse than he had anticipated.
It was late in the night when he spotted you leaning against a railing, breathing hard, and when he got a bit closer he noticed you were crying.
He went to stand beside you, you flinched but then sort of relaxed when you noticed who it was. You laid your head in your hands and started crying even harder and without missing a beat or saying something spiteful, Theo took you in his arms.
It was much later that you realized that you could not live without him, he was your Theo. Your tears wet his shirt but he didn't seem to mind, he never seemed to mind.
"You won't leave again, would you?" He asked as if he knew you were coming back and he was right. "You could try, but this time I won't let you."
You smiled at him, god he was the only person in the world who would never make you feel bad about what you did, and you realise it was only your insecurities holding you back from him.
He kissed your forehead lovingly and hugged you even tighter, "I love you" he whispered, half hoping you didn't hear him, but you did.
real he would not be smirking at me or be able to see that im into him without me spelling it out to him

I Hate You, Be My Girlfriend: The Finale (Damian Wayne x Reader)
Word Count: Way too long (jk it's about 7267)
Warnings: Minor cussing
Summary: After a fight with Damian, you realize you have to come to terms with the fact that he doesn't love you, until something comes along and makes you realize he might.
France was even more gorgeous than you had expected it to be. Google images regrettably did not do the country justice and neither did your phone, but that didnât stop you from snapping as many pictures and videos as you could in order to preserve the memory.Â
Yet, despite all of the wonderful scenery and the fantastic food and the exceptional people, the best part - hands down - had to be waking up in the arms of Damian fucking Wayne for the past few days. The first night - and subsequently the following morning - you were neatly tucked into his side at an armâs reach away. It was a warm but hesitant touch, a subtle ask for something more. Days passed and suddenly instead of the tentative touch you woke up to, you found yourself sprawled out on Damianâs bare chest with his arms tightly wrapped around you.Â
As if he was as desperately in love with you, the small cavernous side of your mind echoed. The thought was quickly shaken away. Despite Damian becoming more affectionate, his attitude remained like a stubborn piece of gum glued to a shoe. No matter how many times he held the warmth of your hand or gave you a gentle smile, it never seemed anything more than to save face and - at most - simple kindness. That did not ease the drumming ache of your heart, and you could only beg to the most benevolent Gods that he couldnât hear it while he held you.Â
The morning beams leaked out of the windows of the hotel room, spraying you both with warmth. A husked groan escaped Damianâs lips, his head tilting to escape the blinding light. Most of his raven morning hair fell flat without the immense gel he used with some strands sticking up. His glazed-over gaze caught yours, the hazy emerald color melting into your own, making you feel naked in a snowstorm.Â
âHow do you always end up sprawled out all over me by the morning?â He mumbled, tugging at the silk sheets to cover more of his body.Â
âYouâre the one cuddling me, Dami.â You quickly pointed out, loving the way he casually rolled his eyes but didnât let go.Â
âHow dare you, I refuse to call this cuddling.âÂ
âThen what would you like to call this?â You pouted.Â
Damian began to draw soft circles and other miscellaneous shapes into your skin, his hands slightly calloused for inexplicable reasons. Being this close to him, you could make out the constellations of scars scattered along his body, the feathered birthmark near his collarbone that almost resembled a bird, the slight tint of crimson darkening his cheeks. It was weird being this close to your crush and part of you was close to pinching yourself to wake up from this fantasy.Â
âWhy does this need a name? I feel like that would ruin the rapport of it, donât you think?â He questioned gently. His hardened eyes studied you, analyzing your reaction. Damian could probably see the way your eyes widened - could feel the quickening of your heart as it pumps blood to your face as it nodded in agreement. But if he did hear or notice any of those things, he didnât mention it. He simply stared down at you.Â
âI umâŠâ You gulped. âAre you excited for the bachelor party? Youâll get a break from me for once.â You let out a yawn, rolling off Damianâs chest and taking the blankets with you. Despite it being Summer time in France, the early mornings were not kind.Â
âMeh, not really.â Damian groaned and got up along with you to presumably get his clothes for the day. âI think Iâm beginning to enjoy your company and I really donât feel like being at a bar for five hours listening to my brothers act like Neanderthals.â
You failed to hold back your laughter listening to Damian continue to complain about his family. Even when it came to minor things like this, Damian always argued with immense zeal. It had to be a double edged sword, both one of his greatest strengths and one of his greatest faults.Â
Your heart fluttered at this idea - well, not of the idea itself - but because of the meaning behind it. You were getting closer to Damian, he wanted your company. Compared to a few weeks ago, he would have scoffed at the idea of even being close to your vicinity but now everything has changed.Â
But as soon as that glimpse of hope burst in, it popped instantly. This was all just a game to Damian, a façade he has put on to not show any weaknesses to his family. What was going on between you - the cuddling, hand holding, and soft kisses - was not anything special like how you dreamed. It was merely an act, the same one he would use at galas or any other public events. None of this meant anything to him because he didnât love you.Â
The thoughts continued to get worse and worse, the idea of Damian being affectionate because it meant nothing killed your mood. Suddenly, a bachelorette party didnât seem as fun anymore even if it was in Bordeaux. Looking back at the bed, it seemed way more comfortable than it did prior, but then you remembered the way Damian held you and another rush of regret seeped its way into your pores.Â
You scolded yourself for letting this get to you. Afterall, you knew from the very beginning that there was a high probability of you getting hurt. You were so swept up by the projected romance that you forgot that this was real life; Damian wouldnât fall in love with you and after the wedding is over, he will most likely go back to avidly hating you.Â
âAre you okay?â You turned behind you, catching the sight of Damian who had pulled on a tight forest green sweater and dark gray slacks all complimented with a black coat. He had worn these kinds of clothes before, so you wonder why your heart is beating faster than ever.Â
You clutched your clothes tighter in your grasp. âI-Iâm fineâŠâÂ
Damian squinted his eyes. It was obvious he didnât believe what you told him. âAre you sure? You seem soâŠfinicky this morning.â
You swiftly tried to escape the conversation, trying to hurry your way to the bathroom to change. âI guess Iâm just a little nervous for the wedding. Thereâs going to be a lot of people soâŠâ
Damianâs hand cut you off from entering the bathroom. âTell me whatâs actually going on.â
Fine. If he was being stubborn you may as well be too. âWhy do you care all of a sudden? I thought you didnât like me much.â
You tried to play off the comment as a half joke, thinking that he would laugh along with you. You werenât expecting the borderline horrified look he gave you instead. His eyebrows knit in confusion and his jaw tightened, giving you enough time to slightly move his hand and enter the bathroom and change.Â
âWhy do you keep thinking I hate you?â Damianâs voice was outside the doorway. His voice sounded like he accidentally stepped on his dogâs foot or his catâs tail. Again, you werenât expecting this reaction. Was he not the one who said he hated you? Did he not relentlessly tease you whenever you talked?
âWhat, are you saying that you donât?âÂ
âYes. That is exactly what I am saying. Donât be a fucking idiot.â This time, his voice seemed more agitated as if it was a ridiculous thought to have. A cloud of confusion permeated through your mind, refusing to leave and causing you to go silent. What were you supposed to say to that? Was this not a contradiction to how he acted 98 percent of the time you knew him?Â
Damian was standing a few feet away when you walked out. âOf course, youâre just going to act like an immature baby about things.â He stepped closer to you with an all too familiar glare. âWhat is the problem? We were fine a few minutes ago.â
âI donât understand you, Damian! One minute you are charming and nice, and then the next you sling insults at me!â You snapped. âAnd then you act surprised when I assume you hate me?â
The intense glare you received made your skin crawl. His mouth opened once, twice, only to quickly shut. For the first time since you knew him, he was speechless.
 âItâs not like you actually love me.â You continued, voice quieter and abnormally cold.Â
You attempted another laugh but it came off sounding like a sad sob. It was a last resort to cover up the pain you felt, a nervous tick, a bad habit. Laughing was easier than admitting how much rejection hurt. It felt like being shoved into an operating chair and having a knife rip you apart until there was nothing left. Not even hope for a miracle.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Damian could not believe his ears; he wasnât sure if he wanted to break down into tears or scream in a furious rage. The latter seemed more tempting. You looked like a wounded puppy, like he had kicked you and left you out on the street during a cold winter to starve.
âIâŠwhat?â He stuttered.Â
Itâs not like you actually love meâŠ
The words sounded so disdainfulâŠso frigid, the exact opposite of your optimistic personality. It startled him, left him scrambling for a reason - a reason for why it hurt, a reason for why you were hurt, a reason why this was happening in the first place.Â
It was ridiculous, really. Damian had fought against hundreds of villains with only his sword and his brain. If it werenât for his wits and natural skill, he would have been long dead and buried six feet under. So why, why was it that he failed to properly articulate what he wanted to say to you?Â
Never in his life did Damian regret his actions more than he did now. The way your eyes sparkled with tears, how your hands crossed your chest and your legs shaked - he wanted nothing more than to be the one who comforted you, to make up for the way he treated you. Alas, he failed to actually say what was on his mind.Â
âYou donât actually love me.â You repeated, once again trying to laugh, but he can tell it wasnât sincere. âThat is the whole joke of this situation.â
âShut up, Y/n. You donât even know what you are talking about.â He said, although he wasnât really sure why. For most of the time he knew you, he assuredly did not love you at all. He would swear by it. Other than his love for animals and the cursed blood that pumped through him, you were one of the few constants he had in his life. Every single time he saw you he got lightheaded and felt like he was under some watered down version of Jokerâs laughing gas, but now that he was forced to be near you, he had grown to enjoy the feeling you gave him. It became something he would willingly flight for.Â
Whilst he wasnât sure why, Damian wanted you more than anything; more than his fatherâs cowl, more than a pet turtle named Michelangelo, more than a cookie from Alfred.Â
âI mean, itâs true. You would never love someone like me, not in a hundred years.âÂ
And there it was. The same stomach churning feeling he got whenever he did something overtly terrible to you. It made him want to take a dagger and plunge it into his heart, maybe that would stop the terrible ache it gave.Â
âBut what if I did?â Damian blurted. âWhat if I really, truly did and I was just a dumbass and didnât realize it before. Is it really impossible for you to believe that I might?âÂ
âWellâŠâ You took a step back, and then another, eyes twitching and breath heavy. âT-thatâŠthat wouldnâtâŠit wouldnâtâŠâ
Damian noticed how you were on the verge of crying, with your lip trembling and fingers fraying the sides of your sweater. It irritated him; all of this was because of his behavior, because he was not enough, because he couldn't unravel the strange feelings that lingered in his gut.Â
âWhy are you crying?â He immediately bit his lip, realizing how harsh that sounded. What he meant to say was Why arenât you smiling at me? What can I do to make you smile?Â
You grabbed the key card for the shared room off the table, wiping away the few tears that slid across your cheeks. âDoesnât matterâŠâ You replied. âLetâs just ignore that this conversation happened and get breakfast.â
Despite wanting to say so much more - to argue about how it was unfeasible for him to hate you - all Damian could do was exhale and follow you to the breakfast area.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Breakfast was an absolute disaster. Considering that this was the first argument you and Damian had, it managed to ruin the mood for a majority of the afternoon. The rest of his family could tell that there was some sort of miscommunication between the two of you as well. The frequent jokes and remarks you two made were replaced with depressing silence and forlorn glances.Â
Damian still could not grasp the idea of you thinking he hated you. He was determined to make it up to you since he now considered your opinion of him of the utmost importance, but no matter how many times he attempted to apologize you would shoot him down. He couldnât even tell if you were angry with him since you just stared at him with those sad abused puppy dog eyes that always seemed to be a blink away from shedding tears.Â
It boggled him, absolutely infuriated him to the point where he accidentally snapped at his older siblings and Alfred (who he later apologized to). The idea of him loving you raced through his mind numerous times; the proposal of it felt like greeting an old friend. It was surprising how he was not opposed to the idea in the slightest.Â
All Damian could think of were the times you were kind to him and saw through him like he was a transparent ghost and how he retaliated with rudeness. He allowed himself to wonder if the whole situation would have been different if he had been kinder to you, only to realize that the likelihood of you being present with him now would be near improbable if he had been.Â
He cursed under his breath in his motherâs tongue as he often did when he was this upset. It was one of the only few comforts he had at the moment. There were no animals he could hold and pet, no canvases to illustrate his emotions, no criminals to punch into a reddened smoothie. He only had you but he was not sure how he could approach you again. Preferably it would have been tonight but you were both dragged respectively to a bachelor/bachelorette party. Â
The loud music and excited chatter of his family at the circus themed bar only proved to worsen Damianâs mood. The beating lights that bounced to the music and the steady flow of acrobatic men and women who somersaulted sent Damianâs mind into a dizzying blur. The whoops and cheers next to him did not make his situation any better. He couldn't care less. As important as this night was for Dick, he would have preferred to not be there at all.
âWhatâs got you scowling like that, lil D?â Dick yelled across the huge bar table, his face flushed and eyes dilated to the point where the ocean in them expanded into a black sea.Â
âHeâs having girl issues, Dick!â Tim remarked. âHe probably said something really shitty to Y/n and has no idea how to say sorry.â
âHey, I-âÂ
âNo fighting at my bachelor party!â Dick slurred. He turned back to him. âWhat happened, buckaroo?â
Damian cringed at the pet name. It seemed like alcohol reverted Dick back into the ancient youth he was while being Robin. âDonât you dare call me that again, Grayson.âÂ
âCome on, lil D! Let us help you, I am amazing with women!âÂ
âThatâs probably not the best thing to say, Dick.â Jason rolled his eyes. âRegardless, I do think the embarrassed look on Damian is amusing, so please continue.â
Everyone looked to Damian expectantly, all of them raising the iconic eyebrow learned from Alfred. It was a similar stare to the one you gave him, and the sudden thought of you sent another wave of goosebumps along his body, making him feel possessed.Â
Damian chose his words carefully. He could not just blatantly confess to forcing you into a fake relationship, nor could he ask for help when he didnât know what to ask help with.Â
âI donât think that I am showing enoughâŠaffection to Y/n and IâŠI think she is really hurt about it.â He managed to mumble. âI donât know how to appease her.âÂ
The stupefied look on his brothers face made his cheeks burn, his eyes furrowing in further annoyance. âHave you tried to flirt with her? Like, walking up to her and giving her a wink. Maybe saying a good pick up line or two with a devilishly sexy smirk?âÂ
âI-â before Damian could argue, he realized that this was Dick he was talking to, and if anyone knew what they were talking about, it would be him. âOut of pure curiosity, what lines do you suggest? Flirting wise.â
The table groaned in unison. âGod no, Iâm not drunk enough for this.â Jason rolled his eyes. He gestured to one of the laced up women for another drink.
âWell, when Babs and I were still young I used a multitude of different ones.â Dick hiccupped, leaning against the wooden table with a wide grin. âOnce I told her that I loved the new adjustments she made on the batgirl costume, but I said that it would look better on my floor. Oh! And there was this other time that I said she was so hot that my zipper was falling for her.âÂ
Dick paused, looking up fondly to the tented color ceiling as if it were replaying those memories like a TV show rerun. It was at this time that Damian realized he should probably be taking notes; although he was confident in his memory, when it came to you, you always found a way to snatch away his words.Â
âThe dirtier the pick up lines, the better!â Dick finished after snapping back into reality. âOh, and you have to deliver it confidently. Confidence is super sexy! Eventually sheâll see how much you love her and want her if you do it enough.â
He hummed in affirmation, taking a few notes on his phone. Damian realized that the few pick up lines Dick used were soâŠdirty. Of course, Damian was not a prudish snob when it came to being dirty but the thought of being remotely dirty with you sent his mind once again spiraling like a rollercoaster. Imagining youâŠwith your clothes on the floorâŠall for himâŠHolding you underneath the bed and finally kissing your honeyed lipsâŠ
The sound of Jasonâs low, deep chuckle brought him back to focus. âWhatâs so funny, Todd?âÂ
âNothing, nothing. I just think Dickâs advice is absolutely terrible and he will probably realize that once heâs sober.â He turned to his younger brother with a look only the Devil could muster. âPlus, you are terrible at disguising your thoughts.â
âI donât see you coming up with better advice.â He retaliated.Â
Jason shrugged and reclined back in his chair as he took another sip of his beer. âI think Iâm having more fun laughing at how embarrassed you are. Oh, and donât take that in a bad way - although Iâm sure you will.â
âYou are absolutely useless, Todd. Iâm sure even Tim could offer better advice than that.â
The said brother tilted his head back with a tired indifference. âIâm lucky that Conner even loves me so Iâm not sure I should be one to help. Have you tried to, I donât know, show your appreciation by paying attention to every single detail of her life and memorizing it so that when asked, you know everything about her?âÂ
There was a deathly pause, everyone at the table looking toward Tim. âThat sounds utterly ridiculousâŠâ Still, Damian hastily wrote it down in his notes anyway, just in case it proved to be useful. He doubted it though, since he knew almost everything about you like the back of his hand.
âIt worked for me.â Tim said with yet another shrug. âJust make sure she doesnât notice you doing it or else she will get really really weirded out.â
Damian wrote Watch her every move in his notes the same time a dark shadow stalked towards him. Looking up, Damian saw the tired yet content face of his father next to him, glancing at his phone.Â
âSorry Iâm late. I had to deal with another Killer Croc rampage.â His fatherâs voice was coarse and gruff with age, his chin clear of any stubble and his eyes an icy blue.Â
Dick stood up, his feet wobbly, to embrace Bruce. Although this was not a common occurrence, the two men embraced each other similar to how one would grasp a lifesaver. âI almost thought you wouldnât come. Iâm so glad you could make it, Dad.âÂ
The two broke away almost as soon as it happened. âGood timing too. Weâre all trying to help Damian with the girl heâs with.â
Damianâs face burned a bright crimson, matching the colors of the circus uniforms as they swayed by, giving him the appearance of drunkenness. He forced his cheeks to remain neutral despite the need to break out into a goofy smile at the mere mention of your existence.Â
Sitting down next to him, his father gave a thoughtful hum. âIâm not the best with women but-â
âFather, you have nothing to add to this conversation.â Bruce almost looked offended, frowning as he closed his mouth.Â
âThatâsâŠfair.â He said eventually.Â
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was really late at night when all the girls returned to Des Quinconces after the bachelorette party. Busy chatter filled the empty air with melodic excitement as the party filed into Barbaraâs room. Everyone had decided to have a huge sleep over the night before the wedding, spurred on by Stephanie and a few of the newer arrivals. It was a sigh of relief to you, since you werenât sure you could handle a meeting with Damian at the moment.Â
You were still visibly upset with the argument you had with Damian, and since you had spent this whole trip with him exclusively (and with very few meetings with his family since he was still paranoid they will catch on to the act), it was even worse being without him for this long. You already began to miss his witty comments and the friendly debates, but most of all, you missed the brief smile he gave you. Witnessing it was like finding a double rainbow after heavy rain or pinpointing a shooting star in the night sky. Without him, there were no double rainbows or shooting stars - just a gloomy night sky saturated in monochrome.Â
As the cluster of girls made their way up the stairs, you dragged behind like a fish poop, wondering how to salvage things with Damian before the trip was over. When expressing the problem to the rest of the group (albeit carefully so it doesnât seem suspicious) they suggested a plethora of things ranging from making him jealous, giving him the silent treatment, and or seducing him. Despite being told by one of the girls, Korâi, that she could probably find another guy for the scheme, it felt impossible to make Damian jealous when there was a multitude of prettier girls at the wedding.
Now that youâre thinking about it, it would be the perfect escape for him. If the two of you broke up during the trip he wouldnât be questioned about you afterward. You were just a ragdoll after all, a puppet he could use for the sake of not being embarrassed by his family.Â
The image of Damianâs disappointed and heart-broken face reappeared in your mind. He looked so upset that you assumed he hated you, as if this whole trip was not a huge, perfectly photo-shopped picture. Was it because you were assuming the absolute worst of him?Â
Another idea crossed your mind: What if he loved you? What if you magically made him succumb to the same feelings he gave you?Â
Perhaps the reason why he was so hurt was because the tenderness he showed you was out of something close to love and your rejection of it angered him. Or perhaps this was you once again wishing for a miracle, hoping for something that would prevent you from the massive heartbreak you would undoubtedly endure.Â
Despite the earlier conversation pointing to the former, you just could not push aside the year or so of bickering that led to this moment. As you laid your head down for the night, you concluded that the best course of action was to stick with the original plan: Pretend to be Damianâs girlfriend until the trip is over. Once it is over, you may as well get over him as well. There was no use wishing for a miracle.Â
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The day of the wedding arrived with the breaking of an egg yolk, the sun peering over the horizon as if it too was not ready. Gathering whatever was left of your excited energy, you did your best to help Barbara and everyone else get ready. The whole room was a technicolor war zone with different colored dresses and materials scattered carelessly.Â
Stephanie and Cassandra took care of Barbara for the most part, assuring her that Dick wouldnât walk out, giving you time to look for the dress you stored away for the event. Originally, Damian wanted to be there with you to pick out the dress so that it matched his, but you thankfully were able to keep it a surprise until now. Looking at it, a wave of bittersweetness washed over you, like the taste of dark chocolate melting on your tongue. You wondered if the dress was too bold, or if it would even fit you correctly without it making you look like an unfinished sketch.
Whatever it did, it was too late to turn back now.Â
You caught a glimpse of yourself in the bathroom mirror, trying to picture how Damian would react. You wanted a reason to look pretty, to try and attract and beguile him. Now it seemed like any other piece of clothing you owned, just with a bit more frills and lace. The magic was gone.Â
âWow, you look beautiful!â Stephanie walked in with a grin, her perfect blonde hair curling like a lionâs mane. âI told Damian to wait for you downstairs, he looks pretty decent. Weâll meet you there.âÂ
She winked, dragging you out of the bathroom and pulling you out of the door. âStepha-âÂ
Your fate was already sealed when the door slammed closed. You sighed, turning back around. Worry and hesitance consumed your body, eating away like moths to old fabric. Alfred was at the bottom of the stairs, seemingly talking to the youngest Wayne. At least he hadnât noticed you yet; it made the 1,000 mile journey down more doable.Â
Taking one last gasp of air, you painted a happy expression on your countenance and trudged onward. It didnât take long for Damian to notice you, he always did, the glimmer in his eyes drawing you in further.Â
He was smilingÂ
No, waitâŠHe was smirking at you.
âAh, it is good to see you Miss L/n, right on time.â Alfred nodded at you then turned to Damian once more. âI trust you will keep our conversation in mind?â
âOf course.â When you were within reach, he extended his hand and palmed yours. Warmth flooded your senses. It only worsened when he brought your hand to his lips and planted a kiss that was as gentle as a birdâs wings.Â
His forest eyes connected with yours, and it was then that you noticed how amazing he was dressed. It was a normal black suit with a dark green undershirt, the cuffs of the suit embellished with a golden W. His hair was slicked back as usual, no bedhead in sight. There was no trace of sadness or anger in his face from the argument yesterday.Â
âBeloved, you lookâŠabsolutely stunning, ravishing even.âÂ
âI-IâŠâ You stuttered. âThank you, Dami.â
You walked to the sleek black rental car, his hand in yours the whole way through. The noisy, busy street dissipated as you were enveloped in the quietness of the vehicle.Â
Damian shifted in his seat, buckling in and smiling back at you. âAre you ready to go, my love?âÂ
Not trusting your ability to speak, you simply nodded. The already tight dress now seemed constricting. Silence filled the car with only the grinding of tires against the ground serving as music. You squirmed around, doing your best to make yourself comfortable.Â
Damian cleared his throat. âBelovedâŠIâŠI wanted to apologize for how I have treated you, not just for yesterday, but for every other time too.â
âOh, IâŠâ Your mind grasps for a response. âDonât um, donât worry about it.â
His mouth twists in a thin line, pushing on the break at the red light. He reaches for your hands again, eyes heavy with an unfamiliar emotion. âI mean it, Y/nâŠI should have been kinder to you.â
When he was not met with an answer, he continued hastily. âI noticed yesterday that your eyes did not have the same fiery glint in them as they usually did when we were together. You also only smiled twice that day compared to the minimum of 32 every other day. I-It made me realize how much your happiness means to me.âÂ
The kaleidoscope of butterflies returned with gusto, a genuine smile fighting its way on your face. âThatâs...oddly specific.â
Nevertheless, you couldnât help but giggle; whether the numbers he used were accurate or not, it showed how he actually cared. This reaction seemed to vex Damian.Â
âIf you arenât going to take me seriously, Iâll have to pin you against a wall until you start to listen.â He grumbled.Â
âWh-what?!âÂ
His smirk reappeared, this time evidently victorious as if he took a gamble and won. âYou heard me.â
"I'm not sure if I did...the Damian I know wouldn't blatantly flirt with me like that." "But how could I not flirt with you when you look so pretty all flustered for me?" He teased.
The wedding venue broadened along the horizon, revealing a gorgeous sectioned off garden orâŠwas it a park? You werenât able to tell. Cars were parked all along the perimeter, an ocean of people filling into the area.Â
âThatâs a lot of peopleâŠâ You exclaimed. âI thought you said this was going to be a small event?â
âTrust me, my family knows way more people than those who are at the wedding.â Damian pulled into the allotted parking area, flashing his ID to one of the valet members.Â
â`That doesnât really help, Dami.â You looked into the mirror and played with your appearance. âIâm not sure how well my acting will be around so many people.â
He turned off the engine of the car, clicking his seatbelt and grabbing the keys. âThe solution is simple then. Just donât pretend anymore.â
It was almost as if Cupid himself pierced your heart with one of his infamous arrows, making you fall deeper into the pit you created for yourself. You were 100 percent certain that Damian knew the effect he had on you if his smug grin were anything to go by, serving to only worsen your sheepishness. He was flirting with you as if it were second nature, as if he wanted to draw out this side of you.Â
All worries of him loving you or not vanished as smooth as a sunset. When he opened the door for you, there was no hesitance; you swiftly took your place beside him. Two perfect puzzles placed next to each other, both their own picture but when put together, make an even more beautiful picture. Damian threw the keys to the valet attendant.Â
The summer sun felt delicious on your exposed skin. Living in Gotham, days like these were as rare as gold and twice as valuable. Fresh grass and the exuberant amount of irises and lilacs intoxicated your senses. Most of the people seemed to be seated in the white pews.Â
âMay I ask why you are acting all flirty and endearing all of a sudden? Not that Iâm complaining or anything, I just want to know what kind of trouble you are planning on getting me into.â Damianâs grip tightened.Â
âWhoâs to say I want to get you in trouble? What if I was just being honest with you for once?â He questioned.Â
He leaned in closer, breath fanning against your ear, his hair tickling your skin. âMaybe after tonight I want to call you mine.â
You blinked. âUhâŠâ
âIsâŠdid that not work?â Damian glanced at his phone then back at you, tilting his head and squinting. âDick told me that would work. Why is- Are you not falling madly in love with me right now?â
âDamian, what are you talking about?â You said, just as bewildered as him.Â
Damianâs face contorted, green eyes tearing away from yours. âI wanted to make up for hurting you all those times. I thought that if I did that thenâŠâ
A pale visage, eyes darting everywhere but to yours - his facade was breaking right in front of you. A sigh emanated from his lips, broken and cracked. âMy familyâŠthey made me realize-â
âDamian?!â A booming voice followed with a sudden gust of wind cut him off. âI havenât seen you in so long!â
A similarly aged boy rushed in to give the Wayne a tight hug; he had swirly black hair and pale skin, his eyes a baby blue. He was a few inches taller than Damian as well.
âYou have terrible timing, Jon.â Damian complained.Â
The man, Jon, pulled away from him but kept his arm slung around his shoulders.Â
âAh, sorry. Sometimes I get carried away.â He beamed. âMy nameâs Jon! And you are?â
You attempted to speak but Damian cut you off before you could. âSheâs my girlfriend, Y/n.â
Jonâs eyes widened, turning to the other with a gasp. âYou got a girlfriend and didnât tell me?!â
âWeâre pretty new, Jon. I didnât want to make her feel overwhelmed.â
You raised an eyebrow to Damian, who did not seem to have a problem changing the agreed upon story.Â
âI-I..erâŠitâs nice to meet you, Jon!â You finally said. The smile you gave felt like a cheap knock-off in the presence of Jon, who resembled more of a golden retriever.Â
âWe should go, beloved. Iâm afraid my brothers are probably waiting for us.â Damian tried to tug on the sleeve of your dress while you were in mid conversation with Jon. He gave you a needy whine.Â
âOh, alright then.â Jon said. âSee you later?â
âYeah, maybe.â Damian replied, hand now in yours.Â
The two of you weaved your way towards the saved seats near the front of a flower woven arch. Familiar people greeted you and Damian, ranging from Rachel and Kara (who you met yesterday) to newer people named Conner and Wally. They all seemed nice enough, but your mind couldnât maintain the same level of focus it usually did. How could it be when Damian was acting like a clingy, jealous boyfriend?Â
Not only that, but the conversation beforehand seemed to be leading to a teary eyed confession. Whether it be a confession of love or of just remorse, you werenât sure. You desperately wanted to believe that it was the former of course. It felt natural being beside him. Acting as a couple didnât feel as fake as it did prior, causing a flurry of bubbling adulation.Â
You imagined taking your place in the pews during the wedding for weeks now, imagined what it would be like to watch two people vow their love for eternity and beyond. Music began and the remaining people who were ambling about quickly found their seats.Â
Dick was in the front with a charming navy suit, his face twisted in a nervous smile. The pastor was a woman with flowing black hair that towered over the bridegroom.Â
The traditional marriage song began and suddenly Cassandra emerged, twirling and leaping with a basket of purple petals, tossing them in the air like glitter. Her dress was a little longer than a ballerinaâs and her hair was accented with white flowers. The laws of physics seemed defied as Cass made her way across the aisle as if wings sprouted from her back.Â
Barbara made her way across the aisle with her father, her mermaid dress trailing behind her. She was absolutely stunning and she knew it. Dickâs face broke out into a goofy smile, fidgeting with the collar of his suit. Babs took her place next to Dick and the ceremony began.Â
You couldnât help imagining yourself in Babâs place, exchanging words of affection with the love of your life. Your eyes dragged to the person next to you. You were met with his eyes staring into yours, a blush dusting his face as if he could read your mind.Â
âRichard Grayson, do you take Barbara Gordon to be your wedded wife, to live together in marriage? Do you promise to love her, comfort her, honor and keep her for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and health, and forsaking all others, be faithful only to her, for as long as you both shall live?â
âI do.â Dick said, his voice straining.Â
âBarbara Gordon, do you take Richard Grayson to be your wedded husband to live together in marriage? Do you promise to love him, comfort him, honor and keep him for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and health and forsaking all others, be faithful only to him so long as you both shall live?â The woman asked.Â
âI do.â She answered quickly.Â
âWell then, I happily pronounce you husband and wife! You may now kiss the bride!â Applause erupted from the crowd as Dick pulled Barbara into his arms for a sentimental kiss.Â
Your applause was cut short by Damian, who attempted to drag you to the far side of the venue. You laughed as you tried to run in the heels you wore.Â
âDamian, I swear you are trying to kill me. What was that for?â You asked out of breath, fighting a giggle fit.Â
âIâve been trying to talk to you for the past hour and a half and I am not in the mood for anyone else to interrupt it.â He softly grabbed your wrist, creating a mere few inches of distance.Â
âMy family made me realize that IâŠâ He took a deep breath. âThey made me realize how much I care for you. The time we have spent together itâs beenâŠitâs been one of the most enjoyable weeks of my life.â
âThatâs really sweet, Damian. Iâm glad we have grown to be friends.â You nuzzled into his chest.Â
âI, no. Thatâs notâŠâ Damian huffed out of exasperation. âI donât want to just be friends with you, Y/n. I want to be more than that. I want what we have in the late nights and early mornings when itâs just us. Not because I am afraid of what my family will say, but because you make me a better person and I long to be the one who makes you smile.â
The bomb that had been slowly ticking down to its demise finally went off, a glorious bombardment of color and sparks that hazed your mind like a Fourth of July Night.Â
âYouâŠwant me?â
âMore than anything, Y/n. Thatâs why I got so upset yesterdayâŠI was upset at myself for making you think I hated you when I didnât.â The confession felt as soft as an everlasting Spring breeze, a promise to love during the blazing heat and decaying cold. His finger tilted your head up so you could look up at him. There was no mask hiding away his feelings, it was plain to see that he meant every word.Â
âIâve had a crush on you for a long while, Dami. I- God, Iâve fantasized about you saying that to me for months. Iâm sorry for assuming you hated me..it was more of a defense mechanism than anything.â
âOh really?â He leaned in closer with his iconic smug smile. âWhat else did you fantasize, beloved?âÂ
You gulped. âKissingâŠmaybe?â
You gave him your best version of a puppy eyed stare.
âDo you want me to let you in on a secret, Y/n?â When you nodded, he said âI donât think I could ever deny you when you look at me like that.â
In a blink of an eye, Damianâs lips pressed to yours and it only took you a moment of processing for you to kiss back. There were no fireworks, sparkles or any other bombardments as usually described in the romance books you read. Just the simple warmth you shared.Â
Breaking away, you became aware of where you were and part of you felt bad for missing the immediate celebration. Barbara had her back to an array of women and some men, about to throw her bouquet of lilies. In front of it all was Timâs boyfriend, Conner, who looked like he would shoot down anyone if he did not get the flowers. As she threw the bouquet, she managed to throw it towards the pews where Jason was sitting idly on his phone, effectively hitting him in the face and landing in his lap.Â
Jason stared at his lap for a few seconds, confused. He looked to the crowd and spotted Conner, throwing them in his direction.Â
âMine!â He yelled, catching the bouquet with almost inhumane speed. âHey, Timmy! Wanna head to Vegas and get married?â
Tim stared at his boyfriend, shaking his head with a flustered smile.Â
âIâm sad that weâll have to leave in a dayâŠIt would have been nice to go to Champs ElysĂ©e and Place de lâetoile.â
Damian briefly spun you around so you were facing him again. âWhoâs to say we canât do that still?âÂ
âYouâre Dad and Alfred? They said weâd be going back to Gotham the day after the wedding?âÂ
He hummed. âToo bad Iâll have to tell them weâll be staying for another week so I can take you everywhere else you want to go to in France.â
âYou what?âÂ
âIs that a yes?â He asked. âI was hoping to take you to Paris for a date.âÂ
âI- Yes! Of course itâs a yes, Damian!âÂ
âOh thatâs good, because I already booked everything and Iâd hate for it to go to waste.â He smiled at you like a complete dork.Â
âHell yeah! Time for crab stuffed mushrooms and a huge ciambellone!â Dick hollered, Barbara in his arms.Â
The huge crowd seemed to be making their way to their cars, petals still drifting in the air.
Your stomach growled.
âI am starving, come on! Letâs go so we donât have to deal with a ridiculous line for food!â You exclaimed, this time dragging Damian to his car. Your giddy laughter filled the air like a melody.Â
Damian couldnât help but smile broadly. âAlright, beloved."
HOLY MOTHER OF GOD I AM DONE WITH THIS. Don't get me wrong, I had a blast with this series, but I had no idea that this final part would take this long to write. I had thought that I would have enough time to finish it on Wednesday, not realizing I would write another 5k words.
The writing towards the end is probably not as good as the beginning because I had a little bit of a hard time. Still, I hope you guys liked the ending. There was so much more I wanted to add to it too, but my writing juices were thoroughly squeezed and I didn't want to push it back further.

Titans! Jason todd x reader
SUMMARY:
Bruce has taken in Jason Todd as his youngest son and the new robin some months ago, Bruce's goddaughter also came back to Gotham after being away for a year.
Some months after meeting Jason she starts a friends with benefits relationship with him, suddenly Jason has to move to the Titans tower and two weeks later Bruce sends her too, but, why is Jason ignoring her and acting like he doesn't know her and why does it get worse when Rose Wilson arrives to the tower??
A/N: I finally figured out a song to base this chapter off, Iâm sorry I went so off with their conversation and didnât really get anywhere with it, I just really want them to bond and I donât think ahead of writing I just start and see where it takes me, I know this can be really boring but I want this to be a LONG fic and a slow burn and that canât happen if the whole plot happens in two chapters so bare with me please!
TWS: slow burn, angst, blood, canon violence, mentions of death, anxiety, jealousy, friends to friends with benefits to enemies to lovers?, maybe death of a main character (haven't decided yet) change of plot
Keep in mind that English is not my first language, I also know nothing about guns, human anatomy or fighting in the language so I'm sorry if I make a lot of mistakes

Story Masterlist / Main Masterlist
You felt a throbbing pain in your head and started slowly opening your eyes and becoming aware of your surroundings, you were trying to figure out how long you had slept for since according to the sky it was night now and you didn't know if it was the next day now or if you had just slept some hours, now that you think of it, you didn't actually remember falling asleep either, well thats what happens when you cry too much after not sleeping for two days i guess, you decided that you would really love a glass of water right now and started making your way to the kitchen, you hoped no one was awake or at home, after your whole emotional moment with Bruce and Alfred you realized how embarrassing it had been to cry your heart out in front of someone who did not even know you and how much of a big deal you had made things that seriously were not that deep, then you cried more of embarrassment, and then you realized how much of a baby you were being, and realized you were really sleep deprived and really needed some sleep.
You arrived to the kitchen and just as luck would have it, there was no other than Jason Todd, the guy who had to awkwardly witness a girl he didn't know sob her eyes out but while thinking about it you realized that making it a bigger deal than it was would only make it actually embarrassing and would probably ruin any chance of friendship with that guy so you decided that you would let it go and it had never happened.
Jason didn't acknowledge you at all, he was too concentrated on eating what he had cooked for himself earlier and honestly he didn't seem like a very social guy so you just let him be.
You reached for a glass but then decided that maybe you should grab a thermos so you could bring it to your room and not have to make your way over to the kitchen every time you were thirsty, the noise made Jason acknowledge you but he just gave you a nod while he looked at you and you just returned it, you went to fill the water and you could still feel Jason staring at you, the environment was really awkward and Jason looked like he wanted to say something, or maybe he just wanted you to leave, well, this was your chance to talk to him, if he didn't want to talk to you back then you would just let him be, no harm in trying to make friends in your own home.
"Aren't you supposed to be out there with Bruce?" you asked him
He shook his head and pointed to his ribcage "got stabbed, Bruce wouldn't allow me to go back out there"
"Huh, how'd you get stabbed?" you asked not being bothered by it, you were used to these kind of things
"Harley" he said nonchalantly
"Oh" you said and nodded at him
"Mhm"
"I thought she hadn't been active in a while?" I said, Dick had told me before he left Bruce that Harley hadn't made an appearance in almost a year and it looked like she might want redemption.
"Yeah but Joker was put back in Arkham some months ago, we thought they had broken up but turns out it was just an act and she was just plotting something to try and get him out or get revenge or something like that, and well i may be skilled but Harley is Harley" he said taking bites of his food.
"Yeah I get you, even I am scared of going against Harley"
"You are? haven't you beaten her like a lot of times?"
"Yeah but miss girl is not just crazy and skilled but she's also in LOVE like not cutesy love, but maniac love that's a dangerous combination" you said in an exaggerated way to get your point across.
"I wouldn't call that love" he said while shaking his head before taking another bite of his food which you had no idea what it was.
"Then what would you call it?"
"Obsession I guess, she's like obsessed with him, she would throw herself against chemicals that will probably kill her if he asked for it... oh wait she already did"
"Yeah, poor girl would give her life for someone who just manipulates her and uses herâ
"I mean yeah, but I wouldn't call her poor she's still a psycho" he shrugged.
"Maybe, but she's in love, even if you wouldn't call it that i think i would, its not a healthy love but she just loves him in a really obsessive unhealthy way, also if you see it in a way, we are psychos as well" i say before taking a sip of my water.
"What do you mean?" he asked as he sipped what must be coffee from a mug and looked at me curiously.
"Well, what kind of people just beats up other people every night?"
"Well yeah, but we only beat criminals and people who deserve it, they actually kill" he said trying to defend his point.
"I mean, yeah they may kill and we don't, but what's worse? dying or being paralyzed and basically tortured for life?"
"What do you mean?" he frowned and tilted his head a bit, he was intrigued in the conversation now.
"Well do you honestly think everyone will just be fine after being thrown around and beaten up until the point where you know if you give one more punch they'll die? I mean even professional fighters get brain paralysis or quadriplegic or like vegetative state from a bad blow and they have like precautions in those fights, now imagine in a fight where there's no precautions and the only stop sign is either them going unconscious or them not being able to move or them being a step away from death keep in mind that the criminals that you beat sometimes aren't trained or don't even know how to fight like regular thieves and shit, im obviously not talking about criminals like Ivy or Harley and stuff and a lot of the vigilantes have actually killed at least one person, maybe not intentionally but yeah" I explained to him.
"Huh, I guess if you think about it like that you're right" he nodded and took one last bite out of his plate
"Of course I am, I"m always right" I smiled at him
"Sure you are" he rolled his eyes in a playful way and stood up to wash his dirty dishes.
"I am!" I say pretending to be offended
"Uh huh, whatever you say" he smiled at me, "well, uhm its pretty late and I guess I should try to get some sleep, so see you tomorrow, I guess" he said before starting to head out of the kitchen.
"Sure, goodnight" I said to him.
"Night" He replied before finally leaving the kitchen.

pt 2 to this
****
It's extremely stupid for you to be out this late, but if you hadn't left tonight, you'd probably never leave. And you needed to leave. You can't sustain whatever you and Jason had.
Asking him to quit would've been unfair, and you know he won't do it. This city pulls him back in every time.
"Where ya headed?" the cab driver asks. He doesn't look too shady. He'll definitely overcharge you, but at this point, you don't care. You just want to go home.
"Gotham Heights." You don't give him the exact address, but someplace close enough.
It's begun to rain. You try not to think about how you just left Jason. You turned off your phone as soon as you closed the door; you know he's probably calling like crazy, but as soon as you answer, you'll go back.
And you can't.
You blink back tears. You can't keep watching him throw himself into worse and worse danger. Jason fights crime like he'd sooner let it kill him. One day, it will.
The car pulls up to a stoplight. You're dozing; it's nearly eleven o'clock after all.
Suddenly, something lands on the hood. You jump, heart dropping.
"What the fuck?!" the driver squawks.
Nightwing perches on the hood of the cab. He lightly taps the windshield.
"Evening. Mind pulling over?" he asks pleasantly. "I'm actually their designated driver tonight."
"Nightwing!" you snap, hot with anger. "Get off the car!"
"You shut off your phone and left," Dick says, those white lenses zeroed in on you. His tone is cutting. "He's losing his mind. You know we don't go dark."
You close your eyes briefly. "We almost lost him, 'Wing," you croak.
"So your instinct was to leave?"
"Alright, that's it! Get outta the car," the driver says, unlocking the doors. "Fuckin' crazies..."
Dick opens the door for you and tosses a roll of twenties on the seat. The cab speeds off. You wrap your arms around yourself as he guides you to the sidewalk.
Several emotions cross Dick's face, before he lands on one. Sympathy.
"What happened?" he asks softly.
Your face crumples. "He died, Dick."
"I know," he says, holding your elbow. "I was scared too. But he's okay. He's the toughest guy I know."
"How am I supposed to keep him alive?" you ask desperately. "I can't."
Dick frowns. "That's not your job. I wouldn't expect that of you, and I know Jason doesn't either. None of us do."
You press your palms to your eyes and start to cry for real.
"I just want him to be okay. Every time he goes out, I think it'll be the last time I see him. I love him too much to lose him, Dick."
Dick hums. "Have you told him this?"
You shrug, wiping your eyes with your hand. "Some of it. I-" You wince. "I yelled before I left. He was being so nonchalant about it, and I know it was so I wouldn't worry, but..."
"I know. He can be a real pinhead about some things, but Jason's on it when it counts. He loves you a lot, and I think he'd want to know you're feeling this way."
You rub your eyes so hard you see shapes. "I don't know, Dick. I don't know if I can tonight."
Dick sighs sadly. "Alright. Look, I'll take you home. But can you at least tell him you're okay? He called me up, terrified. Said he dreamt you were in an accident."
Nightmares. The guilt triples.
You turn on your phone. Ten missed calls and fifteen unread texts pop up.
[10:38pm] Baby please come back
At least text me you're okay
I messed up, and you can leave, but at least tell me you're safe
[10:42pm] I'm calling Dick
Sweetheart don't get into a car
[10:43pm] Please don't I have a bad feeling about it
Call me please
You sniffle and tap on Jason's contact. The phone rings once before he picks up.
"Baby? Hi, hi. God, fuck. Are you okay? Is Dick there?"
Jason sounds wrecked. His voice is raw like he's been crying. Tears start to build up in your own eyes.
"H-hey, Jay. Yeah, I'm okay. Dick is here."
"I'm sorry," he says. "I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have scared you. Shouldn't have been reckless. I won't do that again. I won't patrol alone anymore. I'll-I'll work with Batman again. I called him just now. Told him I'd be at the Cave next week."
"Jay, don't force yourself to work with Batman for me," you say, your stomach a pit. "I don't want you to do something that'll make you miserable."
It's been better, lately, Jason's relationship with his family. It's not perfect, but then again, you wouldn't expect a family that dresses up in Halloween costumes every night to fight crime to be perfect.
"It won't!" Jason says. "Look, B and I have our differences. That's for damn sure. But I'm not so mad about it these days. And I should be safer. You were right. I want to come home to you, sweetheart, I do. If that means working in a team, then I'll do it. I'll do whatever will make us both happy and safe."
You squeeze your eyes shut. "I'm sorry I wasn't there sooner, Jay. I should've been."
"Oh." Jason sounds heartbroken. You can imagine him running a rough hand through his hair right now, tearing through the strands. "No, no, no. Baby, my love, listen. I don't blame you for any of this. That's not your responsibility. It's my job to keep myself alive. And Leslie's, once in a while. But I don't expect that from you. Never from you."
It's quiet for several moments. Then Jason speaks again, tone timid.
"Have I... did I make you feel that way?"
"No, you didn't," you say, opening your eyes. "Not directly. But... I don't know, Jay, I've just felt like there's nothing holding you back some days. You fight like you're fighting something inside of you." You bite the inside of your cheek. "I don't want it to burn you out for good."
Not again, you don't say.
Dick bows his head, and suddenly, you're there, watching them lower Jason Todd's body into the ground.
"I won't let it," Jason whispers. "I won't. I'm sorry I did this to you. Made you feel like this. I only ever wanna be good for you. I'm-I'm trying to be good."
Your lip trembles. "I wanna come home, Jay."
Jason makes a desperate sound, like a wounded animal. "Please come home, baby. I don't want you to leave. Wanna hold you so bad."
"Okay." You nod at the phone and look at Dick. "Can you take me home?"
He smiles, small and hopeful. "Of course."
****
Jason nearly tears the door off of its hinges before you can knock. He's probably been listening for your footsteps all evening. Your throat tightens.
"Hi, baby, hi, hi," Jason says, bracing himself against the doorframe as he pulls you into a hug. "Missed you so much. Love you so much. I'll be better, it'll be better. I promise."
You kiss his shoulder and bury your face in his warm chest, listening to his heartbeat. A-live, a-live, a-live, it says.
"Thanks, Dickie," Jason murmurs into your skin.
"Sure thing, Little Wing," Dick says, and you think he might sound a little misty-eyed. Sentimental sap.
"Thanks, D," you say softly, and Dick squeezes your shoulder.
"Get some sleep, both of you."
"You first," Jason says, and Dick laughs on his way out.
You help Jason inside, tucked under his arm, and this time, he lets you guide him to the bed. He allows you removal of your shoes and jeans before tugging you in with him.
"I'll be better," he vows, and rolls you over so you're face-to-face. "I promise."
"I believe you," you say, thumb brushing over his salt-streaked cheek. "I'm sorry I went dark, sweetie."
He shakes his head. "'S okay. Well, I mean, it's not, but I understand. I just want you safe. And here. But only if you wanna be here. I won't force you."
"Of course I want to be here, Jay," you say, kissing his cheek. "There's no place I'd rather be. I just... I want us to live."
Jason swallows and nods.
"I'll live. I will. For both of us."
Writing side smut stories is way easier - trying hard to break out of this writer's block for the two ongoing stories.
Warning: smut, Omi is a virgin; on an Omi rush
.
Kiyoomi was not only an extreme germophobe but also an extreme rule follower.
When he injured his right wrist from a terrible fall after a last-second spike, it resulted in a fracture that required his wrist to be put in a cast.
âYou need to refrain from all activities, even cleaning. Youâve put too much stress on your body and need to rest,â his primary provider instructed, aware of his extreme cleaning hobby.
He was ordered off the roster for the next six weeks before his next X-Ray appointment.
His day couldnât get worseâŠ
Until he got home and saw an unfamiliar face in his home.
âWho the fuck are you?â
She cocked her head and raised a brow, âI am your temporary cook and cleaner, Mr. Sakusa.â She reminded him that his cook and cleaner, Mrs. Kikuchi is on vacation for the next eight weeks and she is the temporary replacement.
âOh,â he uttered, remembering that he was going to have a new person filling in. âSorry, I had a rough day⊠can you get me something to eat?â
The frown on this personâs face shifted into a smile, âabsolutely, what would you like?â
âAn omelet, light on the salt and make the egg slightly runny.â He is suddenly reminded of how it took Mrs. Kikuchi weeks before finally getting his request right. Kiyoomi prepared himself for an overly-cooked omelet.
Five minutes later, his eyes widened at the pretty omelet before him. That was cooked perfectly, just like how he wanted it.
He eyed her suspiciously, not knowing why, before taking a bite.
He groaned.
Groaned.
Fuck, this is delicious! He thought, devouring more of his meal.
He struggled to eat with his non-dominant hand but was too hungry to care.
âWould you like for me to cut your omelet for you?â
Kiyoomi blinked, shocked at her question before answering, ây â yes, if you can?â
Y/n nodded and reached to cut his food for him.
His eyes dart between his food and this woman heâs only known for twenty minutes. He canât remember the last time he had his food cut up for him and canât figure out why he was feeling hard from the simple non-intimate gesture.
He cleared his throat and shifted in his seat.
âCan I get you anything for you to drink?â Y/n asked with a smile that had a hint of satisfaction behind it.
His heart rate increased at her smile, and he stuttered, âo â orange juice, please.â
.
This woman was maddening.
Not only did she turn him on and made him horny almost 24/7. She also made him frustrated because she wanted to go out after her shift.
âItâs raining.â He argued, gesturing to the window blurred by the heavy downpour. âItâs too dangerous to go out.â
She called his name, his fucken weakness, and prayed she doesnât look south cause he felt his cock twitch to life.
âItâs just raining, Iâm just going out for my friendâs birthday and Iâll be back.â
After two days, Y/n was staying in his home, with him, in the guest room.
Unlike Mrs. Kikuchi, who came to his house every morning for her shift, Y/n stayed with him since he was going to be home for six weeks for recovery. He calmly, yet desperately begged her to stay with him, giving her the excuse that heâd need her more since he would be home more frequently.
Kiyoomi went as far as making a mess and dirtying himself and his home for Y/n to take care of, just to have her in his presence.
âYes, Iâm aware it is raining, Y/n, and itâs not safe to go out.â He blocked her in with his left arm. âIf â if something happens to youâŠâ I wouldnât know what to do, âIâll â Iâll go hungryâŠâ
Her mouth curved into a smirk, âSakusa Kiyoomi, are you only using me for my cooking skills?â
I want to use you and let you use me in anyway way possible, he wanted to answer. Sexually.
âNoâŠâ he breathed, his breath heavy. âI just donât want you to go,â he answered honestly.
Y/nâs fingers touch the bottom of his shirt before lightly trailing up his chest. âYour actions⊠some might think⊠you are implying somethingâŠâ
âLike?â He whispered.
Her fingers suddenly gripped the collar of his shirt and tugged him forward until their lips were mere centimeters apart. âThat you want me.â
Kiyoomiâs eyes glance between her eyes and lips and suddenly the anxiety of her leaving him disappeared and replaced with confidence. And horniness. âI do.â He breathed against her lips, âI want you, Y/n. Fucken badly.â
âI can tell, I can feel you.â His bulge was pressing against her belly.
Y/n pressed her lips lightly against his in a soft kiss, to gage out his reaction.
Like a starved and hungry man, he lunged at her, his left hand pressed behind the back of her head as his lips eagerly moved against hers.
Her hands rested at his waist and Kiyoomi groaned, he was ticklish and it felt weird to have someone hold his waist. But he loved it. Only Y/nâs touch. She pulled him against her until he sandwiched her against his kitchen wall.
âFuck, your lips⊠taste so good,â he murmured, âI wonder how your other lips⊠will tasteâŠâ
She burst out laughing, her arms wrapping around his waist. âKiyoomi⊠you never fail to amuse me.â
He wasnât sure if her comment was sarcastic or not, but he didnât care.
âPlease,â he begged, just begging for anything.
She looked up at him, his dark eyes pleading also. âYou want to taste my other lips?â
âI want to taste all of you.â He knocked his forehead against hers, âdonât go, stay with me. So I can please you.â
Y/n groaned, âhow can I say no?â
âSay yes that youâll stay with me, you wonât regret it.â He pulled her to his living room and forced her to take a seat on his expensive couch. He manhandled her until she was bare and naked in front of him, and he kneeled before her with her legs spread wide.
Y/n can sense the hesitation from him. âSecond thoughts?â she half teased and was half serious. If he was regretting it, goodness, it would be an embarrassment for them both.
Kiyoomi shook his head, eyes set on the sight of her bare pussy before him. âIâŠâ he choked, âI⊠actually havenât done this before.â
Y/nâs eyes widen, âwhat?â
His tongue slips out to moisten his lips before biting down on his lower lip, looking slightly guilty. âIâve never⊠actually⊠seen a naked woman beforeâŠâ  Y/nâs surprised look made him blurt out suddenly, âIâm actually⊠a virgin still.â
âOhâŠâ her voice emphasized on the word. âI would⊠have never guessed that.â When he looked disappointed, she quickly added, âI donât mean it in a bad way!â she corrected. Y/n sat up and cupped his face, âKiyoomi, you are gorgeous. Donât think I havenât seen you prancing around shirtless with your sweatpants hanging off your fucken hips. I would never have thought you were still a virgin.â His eyes stare deeply into hers and sheâs unsure he got her message. âBeing a virgin is okay, thereâs nothing to be ashamed about it.â She rubbed the tip of her nose against his. âWe donât⊠have to do this⊠please donât feel pressured to do this.â
He shook his head, pulling away from her gasp and looking into her eyes with determination. âTeach me how to please you, teach me how you want to be pleased⊠Iâll do it. Iâll learnâŠâ
âKiyoomi, how did you take care of yourself all this time? Iâm sure⊠you had times when you needed some relief⊠right?â
His cheeks flushed, before he muttered, âdonât laugh, okayâŠâ when she nodded he answered, âI get off with a sex doll.â He waited for her to laugh at him, to embarrass him.
But she never does.
He peers up at her, not realizing he looked away. Â
She looked at him with sincerity and caution, âare you sure, positively sure you want to do this?â
He nods.
Y/n let out a shaky breath and leaned back, widening her legs. She used her hand and spread her pussy lips, âsee how Iâm wet here?â Kiyoomi nodded. âYou want to arouse me, get me wet like this, which⊠you did.â
âI did? How?â He looked up at her like a schoolboy genuinely curious.
âBy begging me to stay in tonight, it was fucken hot,â she smiled brightly and then tapped her finger against her clit, âthis is the ââ
âClit,â Kiyoomi answered in a whisper.
âCorrect,â She relaxed against the couch, ânow, touch me, you can graze your fingers against my pussy until youâre comfortable.â
His fingers glide against her pussy, coating his fingers. He pressed this finger pad against her clit, circling it. âIâve seen⊠porn where⊠they do this⊠do you⊠like it?â
Y/n hummed. âWhen youâre ready, you can put a finger inside me.â
Kiyoomi gently inserted a finger and glanced up at Y/n who grimaced, watching his finger slowly disappearing more into her hole. âAm I hurting you?â
She shook her head, âno⊠feels good.â When his finger was knuckle deep, Y/n instructed him, âyou can move your finger in and out if youâre ready.â
He does as he is told, pumping his finger gently in and out of her.
âWhen you are comfortable⊠you can add another finger.â
And he does, his forefinger and middle finger are both pumping in and out of her.
âYou feel so⊠soft⊠and warmâŠâ
Y/nâs hand gripped her knees, keeping her legs spread wide for him. She felt her eyes rolling back at just the feeling of his two fingers and she wanted more. âYouâre not so bad yourselfâŠâ she murmurs.
She was becoming wetter by the second as he fingered her.
âCan you⊠take three fingers?â he asked cautiously.
Y/n opened her eyes, âif you want?â
He nodded eagerly and Y/n smiled, giving him the green light.
Kiyoomi inserts three fingers, quickening his pace. âCan⊠I also use my mouth?â
Y//n tensed, âI havenât showered yet.â
âSo?â he questioned.
âYouâre not grossed?â
âWith you, no?â
âIf you want to.â
âI do,â he smiles before giving kitten licks to her clit.
Her back arched against the couch at the contact of his hot tongue. Seeing her reaction, Kiyoomi shifted his mouth and suckled the little nub hard until Y/n was wreathing against him.
Heâs seen how men do it in porn videos and mimic it.
âGod, Kiyoomi!â Y/n shouted.
Her pussy began tightening around his three fingers and he lift his mouth, âare you⊠close?â
She nodded, her cheeks flushed. âYes⊠make me cum with your mouth and fingers.â
His eyes remained connected with hers as he suckled her clit and continued to pump his fingers.
âAm I doing a good job?â
âYes! Yes, Kiyoomi⊠so good⊠so good for me.â She gripped his hair, âfaster, Iâm so closeâŠâ
Aiming to please, Kiyoomi brings out her orgasm. She shudders against his fingers and mouth and aside from volleyball and cleaning, he has never felt such satisfaction before.
When Y/n comes down from her high, Kiyoomi gently slips his fingers out and notices her wince.
âItâs okay⊠just your fingers filled me fully and I feel empty now.â She assures with a smile. She sat up and saw the mess sheâd made on his leather couch. She looked at his crotch, he was hard against his jeans. âShould we⊠take care of that?â She nods at his bulge.
Kiyoomiâs cheeks blushed. âWe donât have toâŠâ
âI want to, but I want you to want it too.â Y/n said sternly.
He nods, âGod, I feel so silly.â
Y/n grabs him by his chin and gazes directly into his eyes, ânot silly at all. Now, do you want to do this?â
âYes,â he answered in a heartbeat.
Y/n smiled, âgood, Iâm happy to hear that. It seems like youâve watched porn, is there a position you want to try for the first time?â
âHere,â he answered quickly, âhow you just came in front of me. I want to have sex with you right here.â
âOkay,â Y/n answered, leaning back. âTake off your clothes then.â
He stripped so fast and was naked in seconds. Y/n couldnât take her eyes off his cock that was standing proud and ready.
Kiyoomi reached for his jeans, fishing out a condom. He swiftly and smoothly slid it on and looked at Y/n, as if waiting for her permission.
Y/n was nibbling nervously at her lower lip, âI havenât had sex in a long time but Iâm ready whenever you are.â
He touched her pussy, feeling her wetness from moments ago. His eyes drop to her breasts, which he has neglected. Kiyoomi reached with both palms and fondled her breast.
A soft moan escapes her lips and Kiyoomi dips to take a perky rosy nipple into his mouth. He suckles and nips before switching to show the other side the same attention.
âThe other day when you wore a low-cut shirt⊠it took everything in me to not push you against the fridge and suck your tits.â Kiyoomi leans forward and kisses Y/n, âletâs take it slow and easy?â
âOkay,â Y/n nodded and tensed when she felt the intrusion of his cock. She felt him pause and she exhaled, relaxing her body, slowly feeling more of him until he was fully inside her.
For a moment they savor the feeling of just being one. Kiyoomiâs body loomed over hers as her body curved against his leather couch.
âGod, this feels good, so goodâŠâ he murmurs. His head drops against her shoulder. âCan I move now?â
âYes, yes Kiyoomi.â
Hooking his arms around her body, he began thrusting his hips. His hips began moving faster by the second when he got the rhythm down. He felt Y/nâs nail dig into his shoulder blades and that encouraged him.
âYes! Yes!â Y/nâs legs wrapped around his waist, wrapping him closer.
His thrusts were becoming so deep that it was shifting his couch, scooting back with each thrust. He unwound his arms from around her and grip the back of his couch while continuing to thrust into her. His Y/n.
Now that he had a taste of a real pussy, there was no going back.
âSo good⊠fuck⊠so good,â he cooed repeatedly, pounding into her heavenly pussy. âBest pussy everâŠâ
Y/n looked up into his eyes, a smirk on her lips, âbut itâs the only real pussy youâve had so far?â
Kiyoomi mirrored her smirk before his left hand snaked into her ruffled hair. He gripped the roots of her hair and growled, âthe only one I want.â
The smirk on her lips disappeared and he smashed his lips against hers in a hungry kiss.
.
Y/n couldnât believe the stamina that this man had. However, given that he played professional volleyball for a living, it made sense that his endurance was exceptional.
Even with sex.
He wanted more and more.
They fucked on many surfaces, the coffee table, against his glass window, on his kitchen islandâŠ
âE â enoughâŠâ Y/n pleaded, her arms trembling as her grip around his neck was slipping from their body sweat. He currently is carrying her, his strong arms supporting her from underneath her knees, making her spread wide and at his mercy, as he bounced her on his cock while standing.
They have used condoms littered all over his place. She didnât know where he was pulling these condoms from, like had a magic bag full of them somewhere near.
Without withdrawing, Kiyoomi walked over to his kitchen counter and set Y/n at the edge. Slowly, he pulled out and his soft cock slipped out. The tip of the condom was full of milky white cum.
That was the last condom he had.
His breath finally calmed as he gently pushed Y/nâs head back to stare down at her. âSorry⊠I got⊠carried away.â
Her lips curve upward into a tired smile, her eyes barely open. âYes⊠you did.â She gently smacked his arm, âcanât believe you were carrying me with your injured arm.â
Kiyoomi shrugged his shoulder and looked at his cast, âit didnât hurt.â
They laughed in sync before Kiyoomi pressed his forehead against hers. âDo⊠do you want to spend the night in my bed? With⊠me?â his voice was full of anxiety, waiting for her answer.
âI donât want to be anywhere else.â . . .
