Soulmates are a funny thing. Words on your skin that match another. Aife was no different. The words written on her wrist are 'Two Demons' in Arabic.

Damian left Chloe's house, reviewing what he would say to Aife. Everything he thought of was never perfect. He wanted it to be perfect for her. Every thought he had walking back home was consumed by asking Aife out. He was going insane over it not being perfect. His mind raced through options.
Arriving at around 5:30 pm, Damian was greeted by Aife. "Hello Damian, I was just about to call you. Where did you go?" Aife asks walking back inside. "Out for a walk amira," Damian said mumbling the last bit. Aife heard whoever. She has enhanced hearing of course she did. Aife, who had started to have feelings for Damian began to panic. She regained herself quickly and decided to tease Damian right back "Did you just call me princess in Arabic?" Aife says with a smirk. The blush on Damian's face raised. This made Aife giggle. "Well, we have chicken parma for dinner in 5 or so... amir," Aife says walking off leaving a very flustered Damian.
To sit down in uncomfortable silence. The two would sneak glances at one another. Aife broke the silence. "So amir, how was your day?" Damian's cheeks heated upon the call of the name. "It was fine, what about your day amira?" He answered. "It was ok. The Akuma attack at the start of the day seemed easy enough to destroy."
The two fell into their normal conversations. All the uneasy feelings faded away. The two finished dinner and had ice cream as they sat down for a movie. They had a lovely night.
The next day went off without a hitch. The two had breakfast at 6:00 am. Then arrived at Marinette's at 7:00 am where Aife had a second breakfast. She had a very high metabolism so she ate throughout the day.
The group always meets up at Marinette's house.
Chloe's pen pal never came. Said he was too good for a commoners bakery.
While Nino had Jon, Mari, and Adrean had two best friends named Ashly and Violet. Chloe's pen pal Sabation, not even Jon liked him.
Damian and Aife walked into the bakery talking about the easiest way to hide a body. "You need to find a dead animal or something a bury it a little bit above the body." "True, tho don't they now cheek for that sort of thing?" "Not the dumb ones" Marinette cut off that convocation. "Do I even want to know what you two are talking about right now?" She asks. "No..." Aife says walking over to hug her friend. Aife lets go and Mari goes back to setting the croissants out on display as Aife goes back to talk to Damian. Aife, and now Damian, were always the first people there. The rest raced not to be last. It has always been a game for the Miraculous group.
Adrian and Violet came second that day. The two grabbed a croissant and everyone found their own group of two to talk to. Chloe came in not too soon later, she said hi to everyone, grabbed a croissant, and then talked to Aife and Damian. Mainly about how to kill Lila. Jon and Nino came really late. Like the group waited outside late. By the time the two got there, they were pushed to keep moving to school. "Man I can't believe we missed out on the morning croissants" Jon wined. "Tt, suck it up Kent" Damian scoffed. "Here you two, I grabbed extra" Aife pulled out a container with two croissants in it. "YES!! Aife you are a walking goddess." Jon says before grabbing one and hurrying away with a smile. "Are you sure? Your metabolism." Nino quietly spoke. "I'll be fine green. Besides I've been starved my whole life. Just because I should eat does not mean I need to." Aife explains. Nino just looks at her with a are you shitting me look. "That is exactly what that means." "Just take it"
The school day came to an end and everyone was walking back to the park to spend time supporting Adrian as he modeled.
They did run into Lila at the end of the day but all she could get in was a jab at Aife before Damian promptly threatened her life and then insulted her back.
Aife's phone buzzed. Then all the Marcailius squads phones did. It was an Akuma attack. "Ah, shoot left something in my locker. Mari, it is your water bottle want to come with me?" Aife says. "Sure let's go" Mari then grabs Aife's arm and ran "SEE YOU GUYS AT THE PARK!"
The Akuma attack was hard just for both of the two. The attack was at the school so Mari and Aife had a liable reason to not be there. The Akuma throws fire at the two. They doge and lead her to the pool where Aife promptly collapses the roof and the Akuma falls through. The two were fine and dealt with the Akuma quickly constering the circumstances. However when they finally made it to the park...
Long story short Jon was freaking out about the two safety.
After Adriens shoot, the group went out for ice cream and then parted ways as the afternoon got later.
Damian and Aife walked home together, then decided to cook together. After dinner, the two read books in silence till 10:30 pm.
Before they went to bed Damian called out to Aife.
He had been panicking about how to ask out Aife he never actually did, and now they were going to bed and he was running out of time.
"Aife wait!" Damian calls out. Aife stops and looks at him. "Yes, Damian?" She replies confused as Damian's body language was different from what it normally is. "I- will- I" Damian sprouts out. "Damian, are you ok?" Aife asks going closer to him. "Are you free Saturday afternoon?" He said. "Well yes?" She says back. Still confused. "Will you be willing to accompany me on a date?" He asks. "I... you want to go on a date with me?" Aife gets out. "Yes, yes I do," Damian says looking at her. "B- but you're you! You are amazing and I'm... I'm me. I'm not some amazing person like you." Aife says looking away. "What!? You are spectaticaer. I am the one who does not deserve to be with you." "No Damian you deserve so much better than me, I've done terrible things," Aife says as she turns away. Damian grabbed her arm. She turns around to face him again. "I don't want better. I want you."
They stayed in silence. "ok" Aife says. "I would love to go on a date with you Damian" "Ok, it's at 6 and we are having dinner." "Ok" "ok" "good night Aife" "Good night Damain"
Neither of them got much sleep that night.
And Damian cursed himself for not thinking of how awkward the next day was going to be when the two sat down for breakfast.
