SHAMELESS ✔(Damian Wayne Fanfic)

SHAMELESS

Damian POV

"Nothing." He chuckles with a smirk

"Seriously...what could I have possibly said for you to sound so dry?"

He sighs and rolls his eyes, "You didn't have to. Last time I checked you decided to stick around. You can't despise her that bad."

"I don't despise," I say, "I just think I am more mature. She's a child."

He laughed and shook his head. "You do realize Valarie is a two years younger. You act as if she is ten."

I swallow as I feel his eyes in me, "If I'm looking at this correctly, you're the one being so immature."

"I think not." I reply folding my arms.

"Damian, any other guy would have slowly slipped away. You on the other hand, took the time to consider her feelings and stayed."

I gulp as I realize he's right.

"Not only that, but when you aren't home you're with Valarie. The press talks and it looks like their is more than what you're telling."

"What more to tell." I state but it soibded like a question.

"Well, the possibility that you like her."

Bang!

Bang!

He knows! He knows!

Damian thinks, freaking out just a bit.

"Thats implausible." he almost shouts. "Why on earth would a thought like that cross your mind?" Damian asks

"Possibility, remember." Says Bruce smirking. "I said a possibility."

"Suppose I did. What could I do about it."

"Well," Bruce starts, placing a finger on his chin. "Act on them. Just a little bit at a time. Like testing the waters before you dive in."

"Was the metaphor imparitive?" I asked dryly

"If I were in your shoes I'd take it easy. Act slowly."

"Hypothetically." Damian says

"Of course. Hypothetically."

Getting back to the mannor, Bruce and Damian saw everyone in the backyard.

"What's going on?" Asks Damian

"Master Dick thought it'd be best to do dinner outside. We have a lovely garden and a nice area Ms.Ate is decorating." Alfred says looking up at them

"I see." Bruce nods.

"I'm going to make a couple of phone calls. Expect Kelly here early." Bruce says

"Anything that we should be concerned about?'' asks Alfred.

"No. Just a word with the press about setting up a press conference this weekend."

Damian walks outside and sees Tim and Jason placing down chairs. Dick was sweeping the patio while Jacklyn was hanging up lights.

"Wouldn't it be easier to use magic." He asks. She looks down at him from the top of the ladder and rolls her eyes.

"That's taking the whole fun of decorating, besides the babies are taking up most of my energy."

"Well, anything I can help with?" He asks

"Yeah. Pass me those other strings." She says , holding her hand out.

Damian nods and hands them to her.

"No no no!" Jacklyn says. "The chairs are supposed to be elbows length apart."

"Yes ma'am!" Tim laughs rolling his eyes.

Damian hears her mutter something and a handful of leaves fly in his face.
Laughing he says, "Thought you couldn't do magic."

"That takes up to much energy." she finishes." A simple Telekinesis spell is like breathing."

"Mm." He nods making her frown a bit. "Oh yeah. Do you mind going out with Valarie."

"Sorry Damian, you have to tell her I'm spoken for." She laughs

"No not"

"It was a joke." Jack giggles.

Rolling his eyes he finishes, "I can't go on another shopping trip. My father and I are going out and she wants to apologize."

"Fine but I won't make it easy on her." Jack jokes hanging up the other lights.

"Play nice dearest sister." He says with a grin

"Of course, dearest brother."

They laugh at their little inside joke as she climbs down from the ladder.

"So, why are you dressed up so...nice." Jack asked giving him an up and down overview.

"None of your business." He says

"Whats got your underwear in a knot?''Jacklyn asks, a bit taken back and hearing the vagueness in his voice.

"Sorry I just have a lot on my mind." He replies with a sigh.

"Hey Jack, what do you want me to do with the table cloth?" Dick interrupts

"Obviously put it on the table. Make sure the sides are even and tape it or staple it of you have to. It shouldn't touch the ground."

"Now, speak." she says, giving him her full attention

"You and Grayson are best friends, he already told you I'm sure."

"Dick and I haven't had a decent conversation since I found out I was pregnant. He doesn't tell me everything that's why I'm asking you."
Jack says placing a hand on his shoulder

"I don't know how I feel about Valarie." He says in a low voice.

"Damian," she gasps in a hush tone. "You like her?"

"I don't know that's the problem. I can't think straight when I'm around her. Grayson said to act on the butterflies, my father recommended taking it slow. How can I do that if I don't exactly understand what I'm feeling."

Jacklyn looked at him a bit stunned as he ran his fingers through his hair. "Its your first real crush so yeah its going to feel like that. But their are many many routes you can take to understand, but from what you're telling me I think you need to analyze yourself first. I'd figure out what exactly you feel before acting on it because that's how you confuse yourself."

He nodded his head. It made sense to him. Maybe a couple days to himself was what he needed. After signing those papers tonight, Damian made up his mind. Valarie Ellington wouldn't be on his mind as much.

"Limit the contact so I can reevaluate." He mumbles.

Perfect.

"I'm going to go change then set up the table. You'll be OK by yourself for a while?" Jacklyn asks.

"Of course. I'm going to go take a little walk."
