You had been dating Bruce for two months before you met his kids.
It wasn't on purpose, you'd just been visiting the manor to return Bruce's coat to him. He'd lent it to you on a cold night on one of your dates.
Tim was on the couch with his laptop, drinking what was probably his 6th cup of coffee that day. Damian was in his room doing God knows what. Dick was visiting and he stood in front of Damian's door, attempting to get him to play a video game with him.
A very loud "GO AWAY GRAYSON" startled you as you walked through the door. It probably wasn't a good idea to come here uninvited.
Alfred had been the one to open the door but he quickly walked off after excusing himself. By the delicious smell that wafted through the manor, you assumed he was cooking.
"Uh, excuse me?" You said timidly. Tim looked up for the first time and he gaped like a fish. If you weren't so nervous you would have laughed at his face.
"You... You're not a slut?" He whispered, but you still heard. You were confused and unsure if you should be insulted. A loud TTstartled you and you looked behind you to find a young boy, no older than 13.
You assumed it was Damian and smiled lightly. "Don't be so quick to assume, Drake." He said cockily. "She could still be a whore."
You were flabbergasted at his language and rudeness. Had the 13-year-old son of the most amazing man you'd ever dated just call you a whore?
You stood there, shocked. An older man who stood beside the boy nervously chuckled. You assumed he was Dick.
"I'm terribly sorry. Damian has.. well, no filter." He said quickly. You brushed it off, not wanting to make a bad impression. Too late, you thought bitterly.
"It.. It's okay." You managed. Dick gave you a dazzling smile and charm radiated off of him. "I'm Dick, this is Damian and Tim," He said, pointing at respective persons.
Damian just scoffed. "What are you doing here, harlot?"
You nearly fell over from shock. This kid seriously had issues.
"I-I'm here for Bruce. I wanted to return his coat." You lifted it up as proof.
Bruce finally arrived after you stuttered that out. "Apologies, I was in my study." He rushed toward you. "Y/N, these are my kids." He smiled.
You stood there shell-shocked for a moment before smiling lightly. "We met." You say, a bit of an offended tone to your voice.
You seem to remember what you came for and lifted up his coat. "I, uh, brought your coat," You let out a shy, cute smile. You handed it to him and said your goodbyes quickly, ignoring Damian's glare as you said goodbye to him.
After that, you made it your mission to get Damian to like you.
You tried everything. You made him breakfast, which he threw into the trash immediately because he "doesn't like blueberry pancakes". You tried to get into what he liked, which was swordplay apparently. You studied for weeks, and he had you beaten in seconds. He insulted you and pointed out your flaws. You were embarrassed, but you didn't give up.
Bruce offered to speak to him about his behavior but you declined. He'd never like you if you had Bruce talk to him.
It had been 3 months after you met and still, nothing changed.
Until one night. You were attending an auction with Bruce and he had brought Damian along.
Bruce had been answering some questions and you were getting desperate for a drink. You walked over to Damian, hopeful. "Hi, Damian." You greeted brightly.
He didn't answer, he just looked away. At least he didn't call you a harlot.
You didn't give up. "Come get a drink. Non-alcoholic, of course."
He looked back at you, rolling his eyes. "You're lucky I'm thirsty."
You nearly jumped for joy but instead smiled and made your way toward the bar. You were interrupted by a reporter.
"Y/N, you're dating the Bruce Wayne, aren't you?" She questioned quickly. You smiled nervously, not prepared. "Yes, I am."
"What's it like? How do you feel about his children?"
You were growing uncomfortable but answered anyway. "It's amazing. He is a perfect gentleman. His children are wonderful."
Damian was growing annoyed. "Is that all?" He snapped. The reporter looked at him as if she just realized he was there.
An idea popped into her head and she smiled cockily. "How do you feel about Damian? After all, he isn't your blood child but he is Bruce's."
Damian nearly started to verbally attack the woman but you answered. "I think of Damian as a son. He might not be my blood, but blood doesn't make family."
You continued, "Family doesn't end with blood. Family's got your back, even when it hurts. That's family. And I consider the Wayne's to be my family."
Damian and the reporter looked at you, shocked. Bruce, who was lurking, smiled. You really were perfect.
"Well, I think we should get going." Bruce smiled at the reporter as he guided you and Damian out of the building.
When you got to the manor Bruce excused himself, leaving you and Damian alone.
You were about to go upstairs when Damian spoke up. "Did you mean that? About family."
You turned and smiled at him lightly. "Every word."
He nodded, walking away and going up the stairs to his room.
The next morning you were making breakfast, humming along to a song you had in your head. Damian walked toward the kitchen counter and huffed loudly.
You turned your head and smiled. "Good morning, Damian." His cheeks had a red tint to them and he coughed. "I had a particularly hard training session today. I request blueberry pancakes."
You grinned and started cooking.
When they finished, you and Damian sat eating breakfast together. You started to truly feel like a family.
After all, family don't end with blood.
