Valentine's Day Special

Jon x Damian x Marinette

Jon liked to pride himself on knowing the elusive and cold Damian Wayne better than anyone else. He was in fact the boy's very first friend upon moving to Gotham and he spent a lot of time with the present Robin. The kids at school had dubbed him as 'The Ice Prince' and his brothers teased him of being a demon. It seemed Jon was the only one who knew that while the black-hair vigilante came off rude and cruel, he was actually nice when you got to know him. Damian went out of his way to meet with him, clearing his schedule at a moments notice, always made sure that he was happy with what they were doing, and even started letting him call some of the shots on missions when they were allowed to go. Jon appreciated the trust the older boy put in him and would not betray it if he could help it. He was the boys closest -and possibly only friend- and his confidant, they didn't keep secrets from each other.

Which is why when they were supposed to be hanging out and Damian bailed on him, the kryptonian knew something was up. Jon decided to do the best possible thing in this case. Pester him until he caved.

"Come on Damian!" ten minutes of whining and puppy eyes later did nothing to help the superhero crack through his friend's wall. He had to know the secret though!

"Tt. Stop your complaining, we have arrived," Damian informed him.

Jon, embarrassingly, was simply following Damian around like a lost puppy, not even looking around to see where they were headed so it was a shock when he realized they were at one of the Zeta tubes.

"Why are we here?" Jon asked confused as to why his friend would be trying to leave Gotham.

"I wish to go to Paris. Would you care to accompany me?" Damian asked with a blank face. He can act indifferent all he wanted, Superboy knew all his ticks that revealed that Damian wanted him to agree and was nervous about something. Rejection maybe? Ratting him out?

"I've always wanted to go to Paris!" Jon eagerly agreed, wherever the boy wonder went, he'd follow. Even if it meant they'd probably get in trouble if anyone found out. Future them's problem, right?

Damian nodded and led the younger boy to the tube. It wasn't long before they arrived at their destination, the city of lights. 'The city of love~' his brain helpfully supplied. The alien shook the thought off and followed after his friend as he led them to who knows where. It didn't take long to see that they were headed for the Eiffel tower. Jon looked toward Damian trying to figure out why they were heading there. His heart begged it to be something romantic, but his head told him that Damian didn't swing that way.

Jon was three years younger than Damian and they had known each other since 10 and 7. They were now 19 and 16 respectively, Jon still taller though. Damian and him started off constantly fighting, Batman's son managing to grate on his nerves a bit too much. Their fathers didn't get along all that much, why would they? Eventually when their fighting simmered down, he started to see that the Ice Prince could be kind when he wanted to, he just didn't want to be seen as weak because that's how he was raised.

About three months after they met, Damian had accidently stepped on his glasses. Both knew he didn't actually need them to see but they were important for identity reasons. It sparked a fight that ended with him returning to Metropolis. He spent the rest of the day cooling down after being riled up by that bloody bird. It wasn't until the next day when he received a small cardboard box in the mail that he realized why he was so on edge with the traffic light costumed superhero. Inside the box was a new pair of glasses. They were made specially with the lead lining to help with his powers and with lenses that looked 100% real, but we're fake. Inside was a note written in Damian's neat loopy script.
