There was always a sudden feeling Jon got whenever he was near Damian- a sudden urge that told him to find any excuse to hold Damian's hand or do anything to get a happy reaction from him. It just came naturally to him.
Whenever they'd walk alone with eachother, Jon would always intertwine his fingers with Damian. If Damian asked why, Jon would always find an excuse:
"My hands are soft huh?"
"You're hand looked lonely."
"My hand is cold."
Whatever dumb excuse came out of his mouth, Damian didn't question. Instead he'd reply with a simple 'Tt' and continue his ranting about what ever was making him that day. Jon would listen and leave small comments in between, occasionally letting out a chuckle because he couldn't believe how ridiculous the stories Damian told him were.
"I'm serious Jon! My father kicked Jason out of dinner because he was playing rocklobster and he yelled 'this house is a fucking nightmare' ."
"You're family is crazy."
Jon squeezed Damian's hand once more before Damian spoke again.
"Don't even get me started on what Dick was wearing yesterday..."
It was that same urge that made Jon realize he couldn't do normal things around Damian anymore because it felt weird . It was the urge that made him start calling Damian "dude" and anything other than the cute names they'd given each other before. Jon had stopped holding Damian's hand whenever they'd walk, even if his hands were cold.
He'd listen every now and then but couldn't help thinking about why he felt these things about his best friend- best friends aren't supposed to feel these things. It was much harder for Jon to speak to Damian when all he wanted to do was tell him how happy he was to have him in his life, because in the end they're just friends. Nothing less, nothing more.

Ive been really depressed, angry, and stressed lately and I don't know what to do about it. I haven't been able to write because I feel like a lot has been happening when in reality nothing is. I'm sort of in this weird kinda phase where i cant be happy I don't know man this is really short and sucks a lot I'm probably going to add another short chapter later.
