Forced To Love

Chapter 11

Marinette was actually about to get away from him but that would just make things worse.

Nobody needed to see each other at the moment. And the cats themselves were startled by the shrieks.

But then the two heard a knock and the door knob moved. Then the door opened and right now, would definitely be the perfect time to disappear.

"Master Damian, Miss Marinette? Please tell me you used protection while committing this adultery".

Both of their faces turned red.

" NONONONONOOOO Sir you got it all wrong. This is a really big misund-"

"I understand you two are not comfortable with the topic, but you have to understand that creating a family is not as easy as it looks".

" Look, Pennyworth, just as she was saying, this isn't what it looks like. And definitely not what happened. I hope. We just, the kitchen will answer all of your questions alright"?

Alfred entered the kitchen and saw the mess of empty bottles laying around, and some shattered on the floor.

"Oh dear, please tell me neither of you hired some strippers to come over".

" WE DID NOT"

Alfred only thought that because if anyone saw the kitchen, you would have seen the most random things you find in a place like that.

"Well, I was here to tell you about the photo shoot as it was rescheduled a while back. But it seems that won't be possi-"" Hey, we're here"! Said the many photographers that randomly came through the door.

"No way. Darwin! Hurry and take a picture of that. They sure had fun last night".

The camera weirdos were basically intruding on their privacy and stuff.

" Okay, now I want you two to sit up on your sofa and kiss while being close close very close together".

The not so happily married couple was not going to move from the ground.

"Uhhem, go and sit"? Alfred seemed to realized after a while that if they did, one of them would reveal a little too much.

" Excuse me, but, they won't be able to do that unless you let them have a proper change of clothing. If you haven't noticed, they don't seem to really have anything on besides the blanket. So I suggest you two go somewhere else for the mean time".

"Oh, thats alright sir". The guys left off somewhere while the two were still very close to hide themselves no matter how uncomfortable they felt.

" Pennyworth, I'd say you should bring us clothes and a divider or two".

"Right away master Damian" .

Some very awkward silence went by and Alfred soon returned.

He set up the dividers and gave Marinette another blanket to hide herself a bit more and to move away from Damian.

Soon, they dressed and the 'photo shoot ' continued.

The guys left and Alfred was still there preparing dinner for the two, but for later and not now.

"I've heard rumors of a certain fashion show coming by. The designer is MDC just to say. This person just started sharing their designs".

" And, is this person famous"? Asked Damian for no apparent reason.

"Why, actually yes. Most people really enjoy talking about this specific designer. The designs bring out a lot of things not many others do. You two should go".

" Pennyworth, may we have a second"? He asked referring to himself and Marinette.

Alfred left and Damian turned to Marinette.

"So, you've got yourself some competition. So far, there's been nothing exciting. But now, I found something. Have you ever wondered why MDC made it to that stage and you haven't? I don't really know myself. But I love it. It's fun knowing you can put others down. You don't seem to be as good as that designer just in case you're wondering. How great it is to return to this".

Honestly, Damian felt like royalty knowing he could use this to make Marinette doubt herself for no apparent reason. Through out all his life, he's been making sure to have people regret everything about themselves.

He manipulated their thoughts. And he seemed to control almost every person he encountered.

"Maybe I'm not good Damian. But why would I care. I'm obviously NOT TRYING TO HELP YOUR FAMILY! I would call you a fucking bastard, but no. That still seems nice. But if I ever let you take me down, you better remember you're gonna go down with me. I'm trying to build our lives while you're doing nothing okay.

I'm the only one working while you and your family just sit around and wait. So if i mess up, we're all going back to the starting point. No one's gonna stay at the top. Remember that".

She was not really mad because only she knew she was MDC, but she wanted to get that other point through his head. It was important to start growing up and actually helping. Not putting down and blaming others for their failures.

Marinette walked up to Alfred and told him they would both go. And the date would only be a week away.

Alfred left while Marinette left off towards her working area. Drafts of different designs littered her floor but she just pushed it all away.

She worked on a few designs while thinking of a certain thirteen year old she would soon visit.

Damian on the other hand was just outside by the pool relaxing his non-stressed ass out.

That guy sure was something.

Evening came a bit later and the two came for their dinner at the same time. A coincidence would be the name, but not really.

The two sat but on opposite sides of the table that wass rarely used.

And this was actually one of the first times the dining table was used.

The dinner itself was salmon with fillings of either crab or lobster. And the sides were mashed potatoes, zucchini slices, a few other mixed veggies and yeah.

That was tonight's dinner prepared by Alfred. And it was only every two times every two weeks. Meaning, once every week.

Mhm, but the dinner was EXTREMELY weird. First of all, the silence.  Marinette was normally fine with the silence, but she just had the urge to laugh at something random. Second of all, the two still wondered what actually happened the night before. And lastly, Damian had the urge to fart. Like, really.

But somehow, the weird and tense air became a more calm and relaxing dinner. Conversations started happening. And neither was mad for once.

The night soon came and the two went to sleep right after cleaning the kitchen, together

What a miracle.

The two went to bed but eventually left. As in, Damian left for his nightly activities while Marinette, she decided she was going to go to France and visit a certain grown munchkin.
