Maybe one day I'll put these in order. Today is not that day. This took me literal days to write. 20k special for you lovely readers. Warning: Super long and fluffy.
"Hey Babe!" Cora calls excitedly, wrapping her arms around Damian as he's sketching. Unsurprisingly, he doesn't even flinch.
"Yes, Dear?" He smiles up at her before she moves to sit beside him on the couch. His ever inquisitive eyes noting her vibrant energy.
"Guess what tomorrow is!" She prompts enthusiastically. Damian gives her a blank look.
"Friday?" He questions. Cora's breath hitches, and her heart stutters, but she continues to smile.
"Uh, no. Guess again." She tries, her smile losing only a little bit of brilliance. Damian shrugs.
"June 27th?" He questions. Another faltered heartbeat has Cora's face falling, before she quickly covers it with a forced grin.
"Yep! Uh, I ordered a book and it's supposed to come in tomorrow!" She says, her voice becoming tight with a lack of proper oxygen. Damian gives her a gentle smile.
"Perhaps we can read together then. Father recently acquired some Mandarin texts he thought I might like." The boy says amicably.
"It's a date." Cora agrees, planting a quick peck on his cheek despite her lips fighting to keep from trembling.
"Would you like to sit and model for me?" Damian asks, instantly noticing her change in attitude. Cora shakes her head.
"I think I'm gonna go to bed early tonight. Training was brutal." She chuckles lightly. Damian frowns slightly, but allows her to continue her 'ruse'.
"Sleep well then, Beloved." He says. Cora fights to keep from flinching at the name. More specifically, the memories it brings back. Some wounds never fully close.
Cora leaves quietly, leaving Damian to ultimately lose interest in his sketch. It's a simple enough sketch of Nanda Parbat and some of it's older buildings. Still, it's set aside in favor of his phone.
Is everything prepared?
Ready and waiting
Damian nods to himself, the pressure in his chest alleviating somewhat. He looks towards the doors Cora left slightly ajar, then shakes his thoughts from his head.
The girl in question has since curled up on her bed, her phone open to her messages as well.
Cora
He forgot...
Riley
*Le gasp*
Damian 'the biggest sap' Wayne, forgot?!
How do you just FORGET?!
Maybe dates just aren't very important to him?
He's not super big on his birthday either...
SO?!

You'd think he would know that.
He's been really stressed lately.
Idk why,
But maybe that's it?
Stop excusing him
Not healthy
He f'ed up
That's on him
I'll take you out for ice cream tomorrow.
Sound good?
You don't have to
I'm okay, really
It's only 1 year
Nope
This is happening
Ice cream, my treat
Tell him you're not gonna be there at lunch
Cause you won't
