Promise Me This... (A Damian x Reader Story)

Chapter 4: Damian's Crush

You and Damian climbed in the back of the limo, trying to fix the last bits of yourselves. On the way to your high school, Damian asked, "Did you make any friends on your first day last week?" You shook your head "no" as you looked quite down. He asked another question, "Did you make any?" You looked up a bit, and put your index finger up. "That's not bad, one friend is pretty much all that you need. Besides, you need to make a good impression today, so, try to make yourself a presentable person."

You smiled, and you arrived at the school. Tons of kids, rushing into the front doors. You got out of the car, and heard Alfred bid you a farewell. Damian and you walked into the gates, but Damian's friends bombarded you, pushing you out of the way so they could see him. (F/N) came running up to you, looking quite concerned. She asked if you we're okay, and you nodded, rubbing your arm a bit.

You took your hand away, and saw that there was blood there, looking at your arm, you saw a cut, from which the blood was coming from. One of those guys had extremely sharp nails, and although it was a small cut, it was deep. It hurt quite a bit. Your face scrunched up as you silently cursed under your breath. (F/N) looked even more concerned now as she asked if you were okay. Damian was desperately trying to get back to you, but his friends we're sweeping him away. (F/N) walked you to the nurse, and asked if you we're going to be okay. You nodded your head, and thanked her.

The nurse said it wasnt severe, patched it up, and sent you on your way. It was already second period when you were released. You walked into the class, handing the teacher the late slip and then taking your seat. Damian got up, and sat in the seat next to you. "Are you okay?!?" He asked. He didn't know what happened to you. You replied, "Yea, I'll be fine, just a little cut, no biggie." He only looked at you with concern in his eyes, nodded slightly, walked back to his seat, and sat down again. Class went by slowly, and people still looked at you with funny expressions.

~le time skip to lunch (I know there are a lot of time skips,I'm just too lazy to write what actually happens)~

At lunch, you found (F/N),who seemed to be saving a seat next to her. You walked over to the table, and asked, "I-is this seat taken?" She replied, "Yep, taken by you!" She removed her backpack, and let you sit down. You talked for a while as you ate. Then she remarked, "Damian has a crush on you, you know. I can sense it. The way he looks at you, and the way he smiles and blushes at you. Eeeeeeeeeehhh, it's so cute!" She started fangirling.

You started to blush, and so your cheeks felt red hot. "Y-you think so? I mean, I'm not really one to like... " you said, lowering your voice. She gasped, and exclaimed, "Don't say that! You're totally likeable, and I totally see you guys together! You'd be the perfect couple!" She'd just met you last week, and she was totally comfortable with you.

After school, you met up with Damian, and hopped into the limo. On the ride to the manor, Damian remarked, "I apologize for my idiotic friends, I hope they didn't hurt you this morning." You replied, "It's okay, really, guys are rough sometimes, but they don't mean it. I'm fine though, thank you for asking." You tried to sound as cheery-ish as possible as you rubbed your arm where you got the scratch. You guess it didn't sound too convincing, because Damian still looked at you, concern in his eyes.

He looked at the arm you we're rubbing, gently grabbed it, and pulled your sleeve up. He stared at the bandages, and looked hurt. "(Y/N), you're not okay, you're hurt. I'll hurt whoever did this to you. Trust me." You looked over at him, shocked, and said "Damian, it's nothing, just a little scratch is all, it's nothing to worry about. Don't hurt anyone for the sake of me, Damian. I'm not worth the trouble." He looked at you, again, hurt, but it turned into sadness. "(Y/N), you're worth the entire world. I hope you know that. If you had to go to the nurse for it, then it had to be serious. Unwrap those bandages and show me the cut." You glanced over at him, eyes wide open.

You did as Damian told you to do, unwrapping the bandages, and yet, there was blood everywhere. It seemed to still be bleeding, like the scab hadn't formed yet. He examined your arm closely, and turned to Alfred. "Pennyworth. I assume you will be able to fix this. You did fix Grayson that one time." "Ah yes, Master Damian, I do remember that. They healed in a couple of weeks I believe." "Good that means you can patch up (Y/N). Thank you Pennyworth."

Once you arrived at the manor, you and Damian hopped out of the limo, and ran inside. To be quite honest, you didn't like the uniform all that much. You thought you looked too girly in it, but it was kind of irritating. You changed into some comfy clothes, and went to Damian's room to see if he wanted to watch a movie or something. After all, you had one of the biggest TVs in Gotham. When you got to Damian's room, you lightly knocked on the door, and heard a small "come in" from the other side. You opened the door, and on his bed, sat Damian. You walked over to him, and sat down. He looked over at you, but as he did this, you spoke.

"Damian, I think it's obvious that you have a crush on me, wouldn't you say?" You looked away, embarrassed, a heavy blush on your face. You saw his eyes open, and then he quickly looked away. There was a blush on his face too. "U-uh, well, y-yes, I suppose to...." He was blushing so hard. So were you. You got up, this conversation was so awkward. You turned to him slowly, "W-well.... T-thank you." You left the room, smacking yourself on the forehead and went downstairs, into the kitchen. Alfred was there, preparing dinner. You pretty much slacked off until then.

Alfred had made an amazing meal of spaghetti and meatballs. You sat down, along with the rest of the Wayne family. It was awkward being with all guys in the house, though you enjoyed not being alone anymore. You all ate in silence for a while, when Dick jumped up and exclaimed, "Hey you two lovebirds," he pointed at you and Damian, "Why don't you guys go on a romantic date somewhere, just the two of you?! I mean, it's obvious youre dating, right Tim? Right Jay?"

They looked at Dick, exasperated, and nodded. Damian looked at Dick angrily, he yelled, "Grayson, we are not dating! Besides, we probably don't even feel the same about each other!." Little did Damian know, you had a crush on him ever since you laid eyes on him.

A light blush tinted your cheeks, as you looked away. Damian didn't know how you felt, but you knew how he did. You would tell him eventually. You sat in silence again until you all finished, and went to your own business.
