Work Text:
“What did you call me out here for?” Anya asks, sitting down on a bench next to Damian.
I want to confess my feelings for you, Anya! He thinks.
“Uh, N-Nothing…” Damian replies instead. He’s lost his nerve to say his thoughts out loud.
“Nothing?” I have an assignment due tomorrow that I should be working on.” Anya says with a sigh.
She starts to stand up. “I’ll be seeing you soon, Damian.” Anya makes a move to leave.
Not before Damian reaches out, grabbing her hand. She turns to look at him in surprise.
Damian envisions himself telling her about his feelings. So flawlessly.
“Anya, I know you might be into something else but-”
“Yes, Damian?” Anya says in his daydream.
"I-I like you, you dummy! Ever since we were kids and you punched me in the face!”
Anya’s face flushes from his confession and the fact she had indeed punched him in the face once.
“Oh, Damian!” Anya plops herself beside him, pulling him into her arms to hug him.
“I like you too!” She declares.
Damian’s face is hot. He feels like this is too good to be true.
“So, what is it?” Anya’s voice takes him out of his daydream.
So it really was too good to be true.
“Um, Anya-I-” Damian’s face becomes as hot as he had pictured it being.
He decides to take the leap. For real. Consequences be damned.
“I want you to be my girlfriend, Anya Forger!”
Anya stands there in shock as a soft blush covers her cheeks. She had not expected that to come out of his mouth.
“W-What? Really?” She asks, sitting back down on the bench.
“Really! So… What do you say?” Damian glances at her with hope in his eyes.
Instead of verbally answering him, Anya is suddenly leaning in closer to him until their lips are touching. Kissing him.
Damian immediately tugs her into his arms, kissing her back, wondering if maybe this could be another one of his dreams. It feels much too real than before. He hopes that he isn’t dreaming again.
Because this is even better than anything he could have envisioned happening.
She releases the kiss after what feels like hours, a bit breathless as she speaks, “H-How was that for an answer? Or do I need to kiss you again to get it across?” She asks cheekily.
He grins, “ Maybe you should kiss me again for it to really sink in.”
