Damian Wayne/Robin One Shots

Boo!

Prompt: Nightmare before Christmas au? Like Gotham is Halloween town (for obvious reasons) and reader is from Christmas town but Damian makes friend with her and everything else is up to you c: I just love this movie so much

You sat on the forest sobbing to yourself. You were somehow lost and you didn't know how to get back home. You had decided to go for a walk and didn't realize how far you had traveled until the snowy cheerful landscape turned into an unfamiliar forest. You didn't even know which direction to start traveling back in so you opted to sit on the forest floor and wallow in your misfortune in hopes that someone would come across you and point you back in the right direction back towards Christmas town.

"Boo!" A voice suddenly cried out, making you shriek in fright. You cowered in fear and began sobbing harder. The boy that had scared you lowered his hood and looked at you with worry.

"Wait why are you crying? I-I'm sorry! I didn't want to make you cry." He insisted putting a comforting hand on your shoulder. You shied away from his touch and curled up against a nearby tree, resting your chin on the top of your knees.

"Why did you scare me?" You asked tearfully, wiping away your tears with the sleeve of your holiday sweater.

"I don't know! It's what I'm supposed to do!" The boy exclaimed.

"Well it was very mean." You pouted.

"I'm sorry." He apologized sincerely again. "My name is Damian. What's yours?" He asked sitting down beside you on the forest floor.

"[Y/N]." You said holding your hand out to him for a handshake. He looked down at your hand in confusion. "It's called a handshake, Halloween boy. Do they not have handshakes where you come from?" You asked. He remained silent and shook his head. You gave him a friendly smile showed him how to shake hands.

"Here like this." You instructed taking hold of his hand and shaking it up and down in a handshake motion.

"This is weird." He said.

"Just because it's not our life's purpose to scare the living daylights out of people ... " You said rolling your eyes.

"So you're from Christmas Town?" He asked eyeing the reindeer prancing across your bright red sweater.

"Yeah." You sniffled looking down at your own sweater's depictions. "I'm lost actually. I don't know how to get back home." You said sadly.

"I know the way back to the portals! I can show you the way!" Damian exclaimed exciting jumping up from the forest floor and extended his hand out to you to take hold of.

"Really?" You asked smiling up at him in relief.

"Yeah! Come on! It's this way!" He said pulling you to your feet. He took your hand and eagerly led you further into the forest. He seemed to know where he was going so you followed him without worry.

"So why are you out here?" You asked as Damian led you through the forest.

"I like it out here. Halloween Town can get really tiring after while so I come out here for a change of scenery. I've never met anyone else from another town though." He explained.

"What's Halloween Town like?" You asked, your eyes brimming with curiosity.

"You know ... dark, gloomy, all the monsters that go bump in the night roam the streets." Damian explained.

"Wow." You breathed just imagining what this world must have been like. It was the polar opposite of Christmas Town. It sounded amazing!

"What about Christmas Town? What's it like?" He inquired.

"Happy, cheery, very festive, lots of red and green everywhere." You shrugged like it was nothing. Damian looked at you in wonder at what you described. It was so very different from what he had grown up with.

"That sounds like something from a dream." He sighed.

"It gets exhausting. That's how I ended up lost in the woods in the first place. I just wanted to ..."

"Get away." You finished in unison. You blushed slightly and brushed your hair back behind your ear. For someone who's first instinct was to spook you, he was turning out to be good friend. The two of you continued walking in comfortable silence until you reached a crop of trees aligned in a circle. Each tree had colorful doors with each town's signature emblem carved into the side of it. You walked towards the one with the bright Christmas tree carved into it.

"It was nice meeting you [Y/N]!" Damian said.

"You too Damian." You agreed. You hand moved to the handle of the door and froze. You turned back to Damian who was heading towards his respective door. He figured it was time for him to return to his home too. "Damian?" You asked capturing his attention.

"Yes, [Y/N]?" He asked looking at you expectantly.

"Will you come and visit me in Christmas Town sometime? I get lonely there." You asked hopefully. His entire face lit up like a Christmas tree with happiness at your offer.

"I'd love to! Can I see you tomorrow?" He asked hopefully.

"Sure! See you then Damian!" You beamed brightly and waved at him in goodbye before opening your door and returning home, excited at the prospect of being able to see your new friend come tomorrow.
