Hey Wayne (Damian Wayne Fanfiction)

9. So uh...Dancing anyone?

Damian was sat at a table, one of his hands non-challantly slung over the back of his chair while the other was tightly wrapped around a drink. It was surprising that the cup didn't break from the amount of force Damian was using to grip the cup. Damian heard footsteps pattering on the ground behind him, he turned to see Raven, standing behind his chair, cotton candy in hand. Raven held the ball of pink sugar out to Damian.

"Here," she offered, her hand outstretched. "Have some." Damian eyed the Cotton candy apprehensively, before reaching out to grab some. Damian popped the cotton candy in his mouth and it practically dissolved on his tongue. A wave a pure sweetness enveloped his senses.

"That tastes like pure sugar," Damian remarked. Damian had never had cotton candy before and he wasn't sure if he ever wanted it again.

"Boy were you up in those mountains a long time," Raven commented, taking a bite out of the cotton candy. Damian's faced hardened, as he turned away from Raven, visibly upset.

"How did you know about that?" snapped Damian, still not facing Raven.

"Eden," Raven answered simply. "When I healed her I was able to see in her head and in one of her memories she was reading a file about you. So, yeah. I know all about the mountains. And I wasn't criticizing, by the way. Just joking."

"I knew it was a joke," Damian said seriously, turning to face Raven. "And if you knew anything about me you wouldn't waste your time trying." Damian finished harshly, his eyes glaring harshly.

"I guess neither of our lives are very funny," remarked Raven, facing away from Damian. "But I'll tell you something about yourself that not even you know." Damian looked at Raven curiously, wondering what it was that he apparently didn't know.

"You may be insufferable, but in your heart, you are a kind and generous soul," Damians' eyes widened in shock, but Raven continued. "and even though right now Eden is angry with you, just know that she isn't really angry with you, she's hurt and betrayed and as much as she tries to convince herself that you're asshole-" Damian looks at Raven in an offended manner.

"Her thoughts not mine," Clarified Raven. "In her heart she knows that you are a kind and generous and that's what she likes about you." Damian stared at Raven in shock, his eyes wide and his mouth agape. Raven pushed her chair back and calmly stood up. Raven walked away, leaving Damian sitting in his seat mind raging and his thoughts a total mess.

Eden's back was resting against the side of a booth as she stood, watching the scene in front of her, ice cream in hand. It was some sort of dancing game, where there were two people playing against each other and they had to press the arrows in the screen that corresponded to the ones that were on the mats on the floor. Eden had no idea what the game was called, having only just heard of the game moments before, when Jaime and Garfield went up, so that they could fight each other in an 'intense' dance battle.

Eden licked her ice cream as Jaime and Garfield selected a song to battle each other with. Eden scoffed at the sound of the music starting, she already didn't like it. It was too upbeat for her taste. Raven walked over to Eden, cotton candy still in hand. Eden saw Raven approaching out of the corner of her eye, a smile crept onto her face. Eden knew whether she was invited to or not, she was going to take some of Ravens' cotton candy. Raven stood next to Eden, her eyes also finding the dancing game, where Jaime and Garfield had started dancing.
