"This restaurant looks nice," Jon murmured, scrolling on a tablet.

It was days after Jon's arrival. The two heroes were in the Batcave. Damian was busy tracking a drug dealer that escaped from prison, while Jon was accompanying him by looking at restaurants to go to.

"Dami, do you eat veggie burgers?" Jon asked.

Damian sighed, slightly annoyed, "Yes I do." Everyday was pretty much like this - Damian would be following up on criminal activity while Jon would ask him questions that were not really related to anything.

Jon, who must have caught how Damian was acting, "Why are you so annoyed?"

The assassin looked away, "It's nothing. I'm just... tired."

Because he spent a lot of time with Damian, Jon started to know when his boyfriend was lying. He narrowed his eyes, "You're lying."

"No. I'm. Not." Damian gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, trying not to lose his temper.

Jon continued, "You're frustrated. But do you know who actually has a reason to be frustrated? Me! You've been spending these few days sitting around in the Batcave and staring at your computer! I'm tired of sitting here and watching you work while we could actually be eating in a restaurant together instead of eating crappy takeout!"

 "While you're busy picking which restaurant to go to, I'M busy saving people's LIVES!" Damian waved his hands, red-faced. 

"Well if you're so devoted to your job, " Jon cried, "maybe there's no room for our relationship!"

"FINE!" Damian yelled.

"FINE!" Jon whirled around and stomped out of the room.

Damian watched the Kryptonian run out and thought, That escalated quickly.

He suddenly felt a lonely pang in his chest as he already began to miss Jon's company. Soon, that feeling grew and grew until Damian couldn't take it anymore.

Damian felt something warm trickle down his face. His shaking hands reached up to it and he realised they were tears.

Tears? Damian thought, I don't cry. I can't cry.

But cry is what he did. He let the trickle of tears turn into a waterfall as he said through sobs, "What have I done?"
