Daminette December

2022: 18-Alien

Jon came up with a great idea; He was going to shop in Gotham for the holidays. Metropolis was too busy and he'd likely run into his parents. Besides, he needed a gift for Damian. Damian wouldn't suspect him of being in Gotham and he probably wouldn't run into him. His best friend wasn't a fan of the holiday traffic and preffered shopping online. He very much doubted that Damian would be walking aound Gotham and would catch him in he act. He would just swing by the manor and surprise him with his gift later.

Jon quickly descended into an empty alleyway. Jon walked out and began to search shop after shop for something for his best friend. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw something that made him stop in his tracks. Jon turned and saw someone standing in front of a shop, dressed in a pink jacket. She had bright blue eyes and her hair was in pigtails. She looked so much like a real life doll.

'What is she doing in Gotham? Doesn't she know where she is? She's gonna get kidnapped!'

Jon quickly walked over in her direction.

"Are you okay?" he smiled, hoping to gain her attention.

The bright blue eyes that had drawn him in, turned dark. He never thought she would glare at him.

"I'm fine." she declared, "I'm waiting for my boyfriend."

'An accent? She must be a foreigner. She might be walking into a trap!'

"Do you mind if I wait with you?" Jon questioned.

He watched the girl take a step back and press her back to the store wall. She quickly looked down the street.

'Oh god, she thinks I'm a kidnapper!'

Jon shook his hands in front of her and took a step back.

"I'm not trying to hurt you or anything!" he cried out, "You stand out! I just wanted to make sure your boyfriend got you safetly!"

'She's so cute. It's a shame she already has a boyfriend.'

Jon saw her eyes light up, like a kid on Christmas. Jon turned to see who or what had made her look like that. He never expected to see Damian.

"Damian!" she cried, before rushing and hugging him.

'Damian has a girlfriend?'

"Jon?" Damian called out.

"Oh." the girl spoke, "You know him?"

Damian looked from Jon to Marinette and glared, "How do you?"

"He said I stood out." she sighed, "Said he wanted to make sure I was okay."

"Habibiti has trust issues." Damian voiced, before turning to her, "And I believe I expressed my concerns of your wardrobe choices."

"You're dating?" Jon spoke, interrupting what looked like would become a lover's spat.

"Is that a problem." the Wayne heir growled.

"N-No!" Jon exclaimed, "Just, uh, um surprised."

Marinette looked between them and returned to glaring at Jon.

"How well do you know him?" Mari questioned.

"Enough." Damian quipped.

"We're friends." Jon sighed.

"So you have stated over the last seven years." Damian announced.
