Saving The Heart

Part Two : Chapter Six

Soooooo it's been a while, but I'm back! My mom forgot about reading my story so I'm not exposed (yet). Anyway this is the last chapter in Part Two, but I don't think all of the parts are gonna have six chapters. Some might have more or less. Either way, hope you enjoy this chapter!

Damian was on top of Jon, arms wrapped around his neck as Jon flew them back to Metropolis. The wind tickled his face and the clouds seemed to smile at him. Ew, he thought. Why is everything so happy and cheerful? Then he realized he was smiling himself, and began to question everything he had ever know. Was Damian Wayne actually happy? Like, genuinely happy? In defeat, he laughed into Jon's hair. "What is it?" Jon asked.

"I love you!" Damian yelled, still laughing.

At this point Jon was completely confused. Not only was Damian laughing, really laughing, he just proclaimed his love for him for everyone to hear (even if no one could hear him in the sky). "Damian, are you ok?"

"I'm great!" Damian hugged Jon tighter and continued laughing as they soared through the sky.

It was only later, when they landed, did both boys realized Damian had gotten an oxygen high.

"What's an oxygen high?" Jon asked his father as Damian sat on their couch, hands over his face.

"It's when too much oxygen enters your lungs," Clark answered. "It's like being on a drug, it can make you do and say things you probably wouldn't do otherwise." Both Kent's looks over at Damian, whose hands pried deeper into his skull. "Much like Damian's experience, no?

"I don't want to talk about it," Damian groaned. Happiness was an emotion he rarely felt, so when he did feel it, it left him a little disoriented. Clark smiled and stood up.

"How about flying a little lower next time buddy," he told Jon as he ruffled his hair and went upstairs to his bedroom. Jon moved to where Damion was on the couch, sitting next to him. He couldn't just ignore this beautiful opportunity.

"Awwwww you love me!" Jon said in a cooing voice, causing Damian to flinch and fold his body to his knees.

"You already knew that!"

"Yeah but you had never said the words 'I love you' before!"

Damian was falling apart on the couch and Jon only laughed. "It's ok, I love you too!"

"I know that!"

Jon pulled Damian's hands away from his face. Damian looked at him, his face red. Without saying anything, Jon hugged him tight, pulling Damian up. The two fell backwards onto the couch, still hugging, and just stayed there, Jon on top of Damian. Jon yawned. "Goodnight Dami."

"Goodnight Jon."

Clark Kent sat on his bed with a very puzzled look on his face. Jon and Damian like each other? Love each other? The boys must have forgotten about Clark's superheating, because Clark has everything loud and clear.

He stood up in disbelief. My son is a homosexual, he thought, trying to understand what was happening. Within a few seconds, he sat back down, forgetting why he stood up in the first place. This was going to be very interesting.
