"How much?"

"Thirty thousand dollars, sir."

"Keep the change."

"O-oh thank you, Mr Wayne."

Damian rolled his eyes at the nervous man at the counter before he exited the shop. While it was definitely a shop with expensive jewellery, the prices were minimal and cheap for that of a Wayne. Damian wasn't a massive fan of being famous and having popularity bigger than it needed to be. He was, however, very appreciative of the money. It came in handy every once in a while.

Damian had gone to Jump City in hopes of finding a suitable gift for his girlfriend, Raven. Lately she had been having a hard time. She had locked herself in her room for a while to meditate after a minor accident she had on a mission. She had lost control after Damian was mildly injured and attacked all seventeen criminals who were present and trying to gain possession of a gold and diamond bracelet.

Raven had sat there in her room for a whole day just meditating. Once she was out she demanded more attention from Damian. He didn't mind this at all, even with it being out of character for her. She said that she wanted them to spend more time together away from superheroing. Damian obliged and they often read together more and watched films. They even went on a few dates, among doing other things 😉.

Everything was fine until Damian had to go to Gotham for a while. Batman had requested his help on a very important Joker case. Damian made sure to video call Raven at every chance he got. She looked happy to see him every time. Still, Damian could see her expression then sour at the thought of how long he was going to be and how she wanted to touch him or even just be in the same room as him.

Damian considered all of these facts on his way back to the tower. Upon coming in he asked if Raven was in her room and she was. Damian decided to place his bags in his room, which was next to hers, and sort it out later. He knocked on Raven's door and was permitted access.

"Good afternoon, Beloved." Damian smugly said knowing her reaction.

"Dami!" Raven said as she, almost, abruptly stood from her bed where she had been reading. She practically ran to him and the two embraced warmly.

"How was the trip?" She asked. She was clearly trying to make it seem like she didn't miss him every minute of everyday.

"Uneventful. Harley Quinn actually turned Joker over and we discovered his plans. Embarrassing that it took us four days to figure that out." Damian explained.

"Worlds greatest detectives." Raven said with an amused laugh.

"Keep laughing, Raven. I may have to get a refund on the gift I purchased for you." Damian said sarcastically.

"You didn't..."

"Oh I did."

"Damian, I told you that you don't have to buy me things.

"But I did. I bought you something close your eyes." Raven silently complied and closed her eyes. She then held her hands out per another order.

Raven felt something metal. It was like  something you'd wear around your neck from what she could tell.

"Can I open them?"

"Yes." Damian said confidently.

Raven opened her eyes and found a beautiful necklace. It was a Robin bird on the end. It looked like it contained small gems on it and Raven knew it was expensive from that. Still she was happy, so happy. She embraced Damian again after kissing him with a ferocious amount of force.

"Dami, it's beautiful. I love it." Raven exclaimed passionately.

"Good. I thought that you seemed to miss me a lot when we're apart. Not that I don't miss you too but, I thought you could wear that and then it might bring you comfort." Damian explained.

"Damian..." Raven drew out in a cute way.

"It's for you, Habibti. You deserve it."

"God, thank you. I love you so much." Raven stated lovingly.

"I love you too."

Raven wore that from then on and it definitely helped. She had some money saved up enough to buy him an equivalent necklace with a Raven instead of a Robin. He greatly appreciated the bight and they both promised to cherish their gifts from then on.

"I know how much it was." Raven whispered in his ear a month after receiving her necklace.

"Shit." Damian said. He prepared his legs to run and had a look of pure fear in his eyes.
