Work Text:
Damian loved his brothers. He didn’t say it often, but he did.
He loved them so much that he could be incredibly overprotective with them. For Damian, no one, absolutely no one was enough for his brothers; they deserved the best and Damian was well aware that no one was ever going to qualify, not in Damian’s eyes of course.
Sadly, and for Damian’s displeasure, he had to come to terms with the fact that his brothers could hang out or date whoever they like because it was their choice to make, not Damian’s; and so, as the years went by Damian had to learn to be civilized with his brother’s choices.
Roy, Jason’s mate, was okay. He was a smart alpha and Jason seemed over the moon with him; Conner, Timothy’s boyfriend was--- okay too, the alpha was smitten with Tim -as he should be- and Tim seemed well taken care of.
The--- ugh, then there was Richard’s mate: Wallace West. Damian had the urge to rip his face off just by the mere mention of the omega’s name.
He just couldn’t stand Dick’s mate. He couldn’t.
Damian wasn’t sure of the “why” but he did knew it had to do with what he called “The Incident”. When he was four or five years old something had happened and Wallace was in the middle of it; Damian didn’t recall many details of that night, he just remembered the aftermath of sorts: hushed conversations, Jason and Dick looking as a nervous wreck and that every single conversation had the omega’s name on it.
Over the years Damian tried to analyze his feelings, so he could have an answer as to why Dick’s mate infuriated him so much but--- he always got nothing.
Damian had grown up resenting Wallace and the omega seemed kind of aware, because he never pushed it even when Dick tried to make the both of them interact.
A silent agreement of sorts he was thankful for.
But now, at 15 years old, Damian was beginning to regret never finding out what irritated him so much about Wallace because he found himself living with the omega in his and Dick’s apartment 24/7 for the next couple of days.
Dick had gone out of the country to help their father with some business, and he had gone just because Damian agreed to come and stay with Wallace until he came back.
Damian couldn’t say “no”. Wallace was expecting and they had benn told it could turn into a risky pregnancy, so of course Dick couldn’t and didn’t want to leave him alone.
Jason and Tim were out of the equation; Jason had his hands full with his family and Tim was in another state spending his summer vacations with Conner, so Damian was the only one available and he did want to help his brother.
He should have thought it better, though; he had been with Wallace by almost a week and even though they had developed some kind of routine, Damian felt like walking on eggshells and he knew Wallace was in the same position.
And Damian stressing out by the sole thought that Wallace wasn’t relaxing at all and that could harm the pup and that would destroy the whole family and Damian didn’t want that to happen.
Damian had been trying to read a book while his mind was eating itself with so many possible scenarios. He looked composed, of course he did, he was in the living room with Wallace whom was probably playing some game in his phone with his earphones on, which Damian appreciated but the tension was still there.
Ans then it happened.
Wallace put his phone on the couch and got up. Damian could tell the omega was trying no to make a noise while he stood up and went to the kitchen; Damian felt a tic in his eye as he watched Wallace gabbing a glass of juice with so much fucking delicacy as if he didn’t want to neither disturb Damian nor to bring attention to himself.
Damian could feel the urge ti rip his face off come back again.
He closed his book and grabbed his phone to text Colin.
“Beloved I may need some--- assistance”
“??? What happened Dami? Everything okay?”
Damian took a deep breath.
“It’s about my current situation”
“Oh! Want me to call you?”
Damian smiled. He couldn’t help it, Colin always managed to bring a smile to his face.
-.D-Damian?-.The alpha looked up-. Sorry, I just wanted to tell you that I’m gonna rest on the bed-.Said Wallace. Damian frowned.
-. Are you okay?-. The redheaded nodded.
-.Just a little tired, don’t worry-. Said the omega before going to his and Dick’s bedroom.
Damian took several deep breaths before calling Colin.
-.Hi Baby!-. Damian rolled his eyes even though he felt himself blush.
-.Hello Beloved-. He smiled at his omega’s giggle.
-.Soo, what do you need assistance with?
++
Damian went to the spare room where he was staying after he went to check on Wallace, who was asleep so Damian just put the redhead’s phone on the nightstand, careful to not disturb the omega’s nest.
He and Colin talked for a few hours. It wasn’t the first time that Damian talked about his feelings towards Wallace with Colin and, as usual, his Beloved gave him the same advice he always gave him.
You should talk to him Damian, like don’t ask him about “The Incident” if you don’t want to but at least you both should clarify where are standing.
He knew Colin was right but still it was a hard thing to do for Damian, mostly because he didn’t trust himself to not lose it if Wallace wasn’t honest.
-.Ugh, what a fucking mess.
++
Damian hadn’t thought so much of it. Wallace wanted ice-cream and the convenience store was close by, so even when the omega insisted that he could go alone, Damian refused.
The young alpha didn’t want for Wallace to go out at all, but he couldn’t keep the omega as a prisoner in his own home and he needed fresh air too, so they both got ready and went out.
The trip to the store had gone okay. Damian and Wallace walked in a comfortable silence; Damian was just thinking in what he was going to do once they returned but then they got to the store and everything went to hell.
Damian had stayed by the cashier, so Wallace had gone around the store to look for the ice-cream. When the omega didn’t comeback after a couple of minutes Damian went to look for him.
Damian was getting angsty at not finding Wallace until he heard the omega’s voice.
-.Y-You--- You ca-can’t be here-.Damian frowned, the redheaded sounded really scared.
There was a huff and someone else spoke.
-.What? You believe you own the whole fucking world now? Fucking bitch. I came here for work business, also you were supposed to be Gotham’s whore not Blüdhaven’s.
Damian had enough. Who the fuck was this man?
-.Who the fuck do you think you are?-. Snarled the young alpha, coming face to face with an older man, an alpha.
The man chuckled.
-.I should have known, the only way for you to be preggo is to open your legs to whoever is willingly to fuck you-. Damian heard Wallace’s voice whispering “No—”.-. That mighty alpha of yours probably gets off by watching your cunt get used by others.
-.You have 3 seconds to leave us alone before I call the police-. Growled Damian trying to contain the rage swirling inside of him.
The older alpha rolled his eyes and walked away.
Damian took a really deep breath to calm himself before addressing Wallace.
-. Are you okay…?-. Damian couldn’t finish his question once he looked at Wallace. The omega was as white as a ghost, his whole body was trembling and he was hugging his seventh months pregnant belly.
Damian felt at lost for a moment, they had just come to get ice-cream Goddammit!
He had to get them home, so as carefully and gently as he could he took Wallace ‘s arm and guide them home.
++
The moment the door was open Wallace practically ran to his bedroom, locking himself inside, if the door slamming was any clue.
Damian was beyond confused and quite nervous as well. What the hell had happened? Who the fuck was that man? He obviously knew Wallace and Wallace seemed to know him too.
A part of him told him to talk to Dick, but his brother was in another country and even when Damian knew he would drop everything to come back if his family needed him, Damian didn’t want to seem unreliable. It wasn’t a pride thing, he just didn’t want to let his brother down.
Damian sighed.
Jason and Tim would probably know what to do…
…Wait, that was it. Jason had been “consciously” around more time than Tim and himself, he could explain to him what had happened -without telling Dick- and he could work out a solution. So he dialed up Jason’s number and waited for him to pick up.
-.This better be good lil’ bat-. Answered a groggy Jason. Damian winced a little, for he knew he had woken up his brother from a more than deserved nap.
-. I--- sorry, it’s just…-.Damian licked his lips, he wasn’t sure how to explain what had happened without feeling incompetent.
-.Is everything alright? Are all of you okay?-.Asked Jason, his voice more awaken and worried.
Damian sighed.
-.We are fine--- physically at least-. Mumbled the young alpha.
-.What do you mean “physically”? Damian what---?
-.Something happened-. Damian interrupted him-. We are fine, the three of us but, Jay something happened-. Jason groaned.
-.Okay, what happened then?-. Damian took a breath and told him about the ice-cream and the encounter with the man.
Damian expected an explanation of whatever that man had to do with Wallace, but Jason’s reaction did nothing but putting him on edge.
-.What?! What the fuck was he doing there?! Did he touch him?! Damian, did he fucking touch Wally?!
Damian couldn’t help the whine that his mouth let out. Jason may be an omega but he never had any problem putting him or his brother’s in their place when needed.
-.Oh God, Damian I’m sorry baby but please I need you to answer me. Did that bastard touched Wally?-.Damian shook his head.
-.N-No, for what I could see Wallace was unharmed-. Jason sighed.
-.Okay, okay. Look just keep an eye on Wally, I have to make some calls---
-.Jay I need to know.
-.Know what?
-.Know what happened! Who was that man?! Why Wallace reacted like this?! Why did you reacted like that?!
-.You… You don’t know?-.Asked Jason as if he didn’t believe him. Damian rolled his eyes annoyed.
-.No, Todd! I don’t fucking know!-.He screamed-whispered-.My only guessing is that this had to do with “The Incident” but I have no fucking clue what happened then either so fucking help me or so!
There was a brief silence.
-.Holy shit, you really don’t know-.Said Jason-. Okay, look I’m gonna do some calls and I’ll call you back and tell you everything okay?-.Damian sighed.
-…Okay-.He could hear his brother’s smile.
-.I love you Lil’ Bat, it’s gonna be okay-. Said the omega before hanging up. Damian let out a shaky breath.
-.Love you too.
++
It had been almost two hours and Damian still hadn’t heard anything from Jason.
He had texted him many messages but Jason saw them -if that- but didn’t answered and Damian was gonna lose it; he had checked on the omega but Wallace hadn’t say a word back.
Damian had to fic this situation a-fucking-sap.
He had tried to distract himself by updating Colin about the situation but he still felt restless. He needed answers and he needed them now.
Just as he was thinking about what not lethal or illegal thing he could trach Jason’s pups just o piss him off, his phone rang.
-.Fucking finally-.Greeted Damian.
-.Dont be a brat, I was busy. This is a serious situation Damian.
-. Well I don’t know “how” serious it is because I don’t know what is happening!
-.Calm down-.Commanded Jason and Damian bite his lips before he could answer.
-. I am calm. Jason please What’s going on?-. He could hear his brother’s sigh.
-.Alright. “The Incident” as you call it, happened when I was 16, I think, but everything that lead to it began even before Dick and Wally met…
…
…
…
Damian didn’t know what to think.
It was a lot of raw information, he could digest it without problem though… still he wasn’t sure if he should feel confused or not about how he had acted with Wally for, basically, ever; he liked to think that he shouldn´t regret his attitude towards the omega as those were his feelings and, misunderstanding or not, Wally never tried to come closer to him, so both of them were at fault in any case.
But now--- now Damian could understand. He finally had all the pieces to put together the puzzle that had been Wallace West all his life and---
It wasn´t a pretty picture.
It was an horrible one, it was so despicable that he didn´t know how that bastard was still alive; he didn’t know how his father, grandpa, Jason, Dick controlled themselves to not go and rip that scum into pieces.
He was trying to remember if any of his actions or words had contributed toto hurt the already damaged omega.
Fuck, it was too much. It was too fucking much.
The man they had encounter was--- had been Wally’s father -if someone could call him that- the asshole had dedicated to make Wally’s life a living hell since the omega was in second grade of elementary school.
“One of my teachers found out that I was apparently a genius, a prodigy of sorts. He told my parents, probably thinking they would feel proud or excited… He didn´t know. Nobody knew how wrong he was”.
The abuse was physical and emotional. Constant beatings, and degrading words.
“I guess, you could say I’m used to pain by now, doesn´t mean I like it, though”.
Everything got even worse when, at age 10, he presented as an omega.
“He would threaten me, telling me how he was going to sell me or rent me if I didn´t obey him, if I didn´t do everything perfectly--- He put me on suppressants way before my heat came and when he got especially mad, he would force me to swallow a bunch of them at once. It was scary as hell”.
No one knew. Nobody suspected a thing because Rudolph West -the bastard’s name- made sure of that.
Wally had been a really shy kid, he rarely talk and looked at anything but people’s eyes. It had been when he began to spend more time with Iris and Barry -his aunt and uncle- that he became more talkative and adventurous; ironically, that worked in Rudolph's favor, for he didn’t have to be so careful anymore. When bruises and cuts appeared on Wally’s body, they could easily justify them.
But Wally’s parents couldn’t have imagined that their son would come close to one Bruce Wayne and his really perceptive son Richard “Dick” Grayson-Wayne.
“I met Dick when I was 12--- almost 13 years old. He had the prettiest smile I had ever seen. He also made me feel safe which was weird cause he was 10 at the time---“.
Dick had blamed himself for a really long time. He still does, sometimes, had told him Jason; When he had met Wally he had felt that something was odd and off with the redhead. When they became friends, Dick had tried to ask Wally, but the redhead would brush it off and change the subject.
It had been until Dick began to court Wally officially that he got actual evidence, small and circumstantial, but evidence nonetheless that indeed something was going on with Wally.
Jason, though young, had noticed some stuff too thanks to Wally and Dick spending more and more time together; and Jason telling Dick his suspicions, that Wally seemed to be hurt by someone just helped Dick to come to one conclusion: Wally was being abused.
By whom? Jason had two suspects, Dick--- he didn´t want to believe it. By how long? Dick was afraid of thew answer.
“We have to do something!”
“We can´t Jay”
“The fuck you mean Grayson?!”
“Language. And no, we can’t do anything. If we tell dad he’s gonna tell Barry and Barry is gonna tell Wally or worse, he’s gonna tell Wally’s dad and if he’s the one hurting Wally---”
“He is!”
“---we don’t know what he could do to Wally. The police is out of question, we don’t enough evidence and Wally… Wally won’t talk”
“…Then just remind Wally that he has a safe place to go to”
It wasn’t enough, Dick and Jason knew it, but it was the best they could do.
Bruce and Alfred suspected too, that something was going on Wally’s house. They saw what Dick saw: the bruises, the cuts, the nervousness on the redhead. They also suspected that Jason knew for certain what was going on, but both brothers refused to talk and even-though Bruce tried to find out something by talking to Barry, he soon realized the blonde didn´t know a thing.
So they Wayne family found themselves at a dead end. The only thing they could do was to remind Wally that he was more than welcomed with them, didn´t matter what and to wait.
To wait…
To wait…
To wait…
And then, it finally happened—The Incident.
-.That night, fuck¸ it was such a fucking nightmare Dames. A part of me is glad that you never understood what was going on, but another part is amazed that you didn’t know at all.
Officially, it all started with a call.
Jason had been coming back to his room from a trip to the kitchen when he heard a ruckus coming from Bruce’s office. He went to check out what was going on, as the noise was getting louder and louder.
-.What I saw…Jesus I don’t think I could ever forget that.
A 13-year-old Jason found Bruce manhandling and restraining a feral Dick on his desk and his face, God Jason had never seen his brother make a face so horrifying and scary, damn he had never seen him so fucking angry before, less going feral.
Jason couldn’t help but to let out a whimper and two things happened then: A pair of blue irises and red ones looked at him as he heard a pair of doors opening. Jason turned in time to see an 8-year-old Tim and a 5-year-old Damian going into the hall; Jason didn’t think it twice.
He had run to them, carefully distracting Tim and guiding him to a sleepy Damian, to the youngest one’s room.
“No matter what you hear, please, please, just stay in here with Damian until one of us come for you” Jason told Tim, before closing the door and running back to Bruce’s office.
He let out a deep breath when he saw Alfred there and Dick sitting on a chair, his eye color going from red to blue on loop as Bruce was watching him like a hawk.
Once he entered the office, they told him that Barry had called Bruce. The blonde alpha wasn’t jus frantic but going hysterical, that much that at somepoint Iris had took the phone and told Bruce what the Wayne family had been expecting but didn’t want to happen.
Wally was in the hospital.
For what iris could explain while trying to suppress her sobs, was that they had received a call from the hospital about Wally and when they had arrived, they told them that Wally had been beaten to death. The redhead was miraculously alive, but barely.
Dick flinched and Jason felt his body froze at hearing that. He felt like crying, like puking, like killing someone----
“I-Is he gonna be okay?” Asked Jason.
“The doctors aren’t so optimistic” Said Alfred and Jason felt the air leave his lungs.
“We already send the best surgeons and we’re looking for the first chance to bring him here” Said Bruce.
They stayed in silence for a few seconds, then Dick puked all over the floor.
A month.
It was until a month later that they could transfer Wally from Central City to Gotham, between the police, the lawyers, Wally’s condition…it wasn’t a pretty time.
Learning all the details of why Wally was still in the hospital and what he had gone through was beyond awful, but learning the redhead was an omega and not a beta left them gobsmacked; Wally had been on suppressants since before he had his first heat and the doctors were worried.
-.If being beaten to almost death didn’t kill him, having his first heat after so many years would probably do.
It hadn’t. Thanks heavens it hadn’t, but after Wally’s official first heat, Dick had stayed in Jason’s nest for two weeks.
-.He cried and whined so much, and it was either because he wanted to be with Wally or because of him”…And Damian kind of remembered that; He wanting to play with his older brother but everyone -especially Tim- always telling him that “He wasn’t available” and Damian, 5-year-old Damian knew it was bullshit and that it was Wallace’s fault. It had to be---
He hadn’t been wrong, but he hadn’t been right either…15-year-old knew better now.
Jason had also told him about the restrictive order; Wally’s parents couldn’t be in the same city as Wally was, so they were forced to move out and while that happened, Wally stayed in the Wayne manor.
.-That’s why I freaked out, I had to call the lawyers so he could check out if this was a coincidence or nor--- Don’t worry I asked them to keep it underwater unless it was bad.
.-I hope it isn’t--- bad I mean.
-.Me too, little bat, me too.
+
It had been 40 minutes since Damian had ended the call with Jason, and the little alpha didn’t know what to do nor how to feel.
What he knew though, was that he didn’t want to pity West. Damian was a proud teen and he liked to live to his principles, one of them being to not treat others as he didn’t want to be treated, and Damian despised the idea of being pitied.
So, he wouldn’t pity West, if anything the omega that his brother was so in love with deserved bloody respect, and Damian could certainly give the redhead that; sure, knowing all the context of “The Incident” didn’t magically make Damian like Wally, but knowing about it could be a point to a new start.
This time, he could actually try to get to know Wally, and decided if he truly liked him or not.
But first…first he had to have a talk with the omega and Damian could tell it was going to be awkward.
The young alpha sighed.
It’s now or never
He knocked on the door, but when he didn’t receive an answer, he opened the door slowly.
-.We---Wallace?-. Once again, no answer. Damian went in, closing the door and found the redhead sitting on the bed caressing his belly idly. Damian walked a little closer, careful to not touch the omega’s nest.
-.I---I wanted to check on you. I---
-.Damian-. The omega interrupted him. Damian looked at him, but Wallace wasn’t looking at him.
-.Yes?
-.When m--- When the pup is born, would you look for an omega mate for Richard?-. Damian’s whole body froze.
What?
-.I know you don’t like me, I don’t like me either. So asking you for a favor is probably a stupid thing to do, but I know you love Richard and you’ve always wanted the best for him and we both know it’s not me-.The redhead chuckled-. I don’t know how or why he has put on with me for so long, probably because of his big heart.
Damian’s eyes widened and he tried not to panic as he watched tears streaming along Wallace’s face.
-.I’m barely being able to give him a pup-. He let out a shaky breath-.D-Don’t worry, my genes are recessive so the pup should come out just fine…though, if Richard doesn’t like them I can take them, that would be the best so he can star anew, right?
Damian wanted to say something, but he was at lost. He hadn’t expected any of this at all.
-.I know your standards are hard to meet, that’s why I’m asking you this. Richard deserves to be happy and being with a broken omega won’t bring him that-. The omega’s redrimmed and wet eyes looked at Damian-. Just look after him, please?-.Said Wally with a smile.
Damian took a few breaths, trying to clear his head and to calm his racing heart.
-.Wallace, Dick loves you-. Said Damian. Wally smiled.
-.Your brother loves everybody.
“No”, Damian thought. Dick had a big heart but he knew he was capable of hating too. Jason’s bullies came to his memory.
-.Wally, Dick loves you-. The young alpha repeated-. He loves you and your pup. My family loves you too, you make Dick happy, so so much-. Said Damian.
Wally blinked and sighed. He attempted to caress Damian’s face but he just let his arm fall to the bed.
-.I’ve always admired and been grateful with how polite you are with me, even when I know you hate me and that I stress you out so much, you’re always polite…you don’t have to lie Damian, it’s okay. Really.
Damian couldn’t help the little growl that he le out. He dropped to his knees and took Wally’s hand between his.
-.Wallace Wayne-Grayson I need you to pay attention and listen-.Said Damian, Wally’s green eyes were on him, widened in shock-. I don’t hate you. Yes, you get on my nerves but so Jason’s family does and I don’t hate them. I’ve never made an attempt to know you, but I would like to change that if you’re okay with it-. Damian explained. Wally’s tears streamed faster.
Shit
-.I--- yeah-. Mumbled the redhead.
At least he’s listening.
-.Okay, thank you-. He squeezed the omega’s hand-. Dick loves you so much Wallace, my family loves you and adores you. We can’t just replace you and even if we could, we wouldn’t want to do it. You’re family, we aren’t getting rid of you.
Wally’s tears came even faster, as he tried to control his sobs. Damian sighed internally, he wasn’t a fan but the omega clearly needed more direct comfort, so he stood up and hugged the redhead.
The moment Wally’s face was hidden in Damian’s chest, he broke. He began to fully sobbing and crying harder. Damian suppressed a flinch, and just held his brother-in-law with all his might.
+
It was past 10 pm, according to Damian’s phone. Wally had cried for hours but Damian stayed with him nonetheless; at somepoint, the redhead had invited Damian into his nest and had curled up with him. Damian had sent Dick a message just so the alpha didn’t freak out when neither Damian nor Wally answered his nightly calls.
“Everything is fine, just wait for us to call you. Please”.
The young alpha had gone out go the nest to make them tea and bring Wally some snacks.
-.Thank you-. Mumbled the omega, taking the cup. Damian nodded and sat in the nest, taking a couple of sips from his cup.
-.What time is it?-. Asked Wally.
-.A little pass 10-.Wally’s eyes widened.
-.Dick---
-.It’s okay. I texted him earlier, told him to wait for us to call him-. Wally sighed-. Do you want to call him now?
Wally lowered his cup and bite his lower lip.
-.I-I want to call him, to listen his voice but…-.Damian understood.
-.Would you like me to call him first? So I can give him some context and then we can call him the both of us?
Wally wiped his eyes and sniffed.
-.I w-would like that-. He said with a small voice. Damian finished his tea and went out of the room.
He wasn’t worried about Dick’s reaction, he knew he could calm the alpha down by putting Wally’s well-being as a priority, so he didn’t hesitated and called his brother.
-.Dami, what happened? Are you both okay?!-.
“Here we go”, thought Damian as he began to explain everything.
+
As expected, Dick almost went feral and it was hard to calm him down but a “Wally needs you, he wants to hear your voice” was enough for the older alpha to settled down.
-:We’re going call you in Wally’s phone so stand by-.Said Damian to Dick as he hung up.
When he went into Wally’s room he smiled at the nervous omega.
-.He’s okay. I told him we were going to call him with your phone-. Wally nodded and fumbled with the device.
The moment he called was brief as Dick answered instantly.
-.Hey gorgeous-. Wally smiled, his eyes going a little misty.
-.Hey…
-.How’s everything going?
-.Good, Dami es taking care of us.
-.”Dami” huh?-. Wally kept smiling and Damian took his clue to leave; green wet eyes watched him and Damian signed to his own phone.
-.I’m going to give Collin a call-. He mumbled. Wally nodded and went back to Dick’s voice.
Damian took a deep breath once he closed the door and dialed his boyfriend’s phone.
-.Dami…?-.Answered a slurred voice. Damian smiled.
-.Hi beloved.
+
Dick came back a few days earlier than expected.
Wally was blissful and though Damian wasn’t surprised, he was happy too that his brother was finally back.
Damian had tried to excuse himself to give them some privacy but both Dick and Wally refused.
-.Why don’t we go to get some late lunch?-.Proposed the redhead.
Both alphas agreed.
It was dark when they got back to the apartment. Wally had fallen asleep and so Dick carried him all the way.
Once Wally was sleeping in their bedroom Dick sat in the living room where Damian had been playing with his phone.
-.I’m going to check busses and flights, so I can leave tomorrow-. Said Damian.
-.Didn’t you have a booked bus to go back?-. Asked Dick and Damian hummed.
-.Yes, but it’s in a couple of days, when you were supposed to be back-. Dick smiled.
-.You can stay until then, you know it’s not a problem-. Damian raised an eyebrow.
-.I thought you would like to be with your mate alone, properly-. Dick blushed.
-.Shut your mouth, little devil-. Damian smiled-. But, seriously, you can stay. I know Wally would like that-. Dick said.
Damian pursed his lips.
-.I--- I’m sorry-. Said the young alpha-. About being so cold and distant with Wally, it was due to a childish misunderstanding but still, I should have let it go and try at least-. Explained Damian. Dick nodded slowly.
-.Yeah, but it wasn’t you entirely. I should have talk to you and Tim but I -as everybody else- assumed that if Tim had kind of figured it out, you, somehow, had to and I never bothered to verified that so-. Damian sighed.
-.I guess we’ll see how this results-. Said Damian. Dick laughed.
-.Wanna bet?-. Damian rolled his eyes.
-.As if-. Dick laughed again as he stood up.
-.Don’t stay up too late-. Said Dick as he ruffled Damian’s hair.
-.Yeah, yeah-.Dick smiled.
-.Sweet dreams lil’ D, I love you-. Damian fought the burning blush on his cheeks.
-.I love you too-. He answered. Dick’s smiled grew bigger before he disappeared into his room.
Damian smiled and grabbed his phone to check his messages.
“OMG! That means we can go in a double date!!!
“That’s not happening, Colin”
“It is! I just told you!”
“We’ll see Beloved”
“Totally happening!”
Damian huffed a laugh as he imagined Collin bonding with Wally and he and Dick having another mutual topic to talk about, that being their mates being adorable and beautiful.
…a double date didn’t sound so bad after all.
