Saving The Heart

Part Three : Chapter Five

Literally JUST wrote and published the entire last chapter in an hour and am already starting this one. Ugh, I just love these two so much! This chapter will be funny, so I hope you like it! (If anyone knows about Duke Thomas, I wanted to include him in this chapter but I don't know enough about him.)

Bruce and the Wayne kids sat in the living room, all staring at Damian. The tension was thick, though Tim and Jason were mostly laughing to themselves while Dick held back a smile. Damian was getting bored of staring daggers into their skulls.

"I'm gay! Whatever, can we move on?" Damian asked.

"No, there are some things we have to address first," Bruce replied. Damian rolled his eyes and slumped back into his chair.

"Fine."

"First question. Just how long have you two been together?" Dick asked.

"Almost three years."

"What!?" Dick grumbled as he pulled out a $20 bill and handed it to Tim, who smirked as he stared at Damian. Damian gasped in disbelief.

"Dad, are you seeing this?" He pointed to his adoptive brothers.

"This isn't about them," Bruce said. "Next question."

"How long have you known you were gay?" Tim asked.

"About as long as I've known Jon."

All three brothers burst out laughing.

"Shut up, Drake!" Damian yelled. "You were head over heels for Conner the second you met him!"

"Yeah, but at least he's my age," Tim wheezed. Damian wanted to punch him. This was so stupid and humiliating!

"Okay okay okay, I have a question," Jason said, wiping his eyes. "Have you two had sex yet?"

Dick reached across Tim to slap Jason while Damian rubbed the bridge of his nose. "Jon is twelve, you idiots," he said. "No, we haven't had sex! We barely even kiss!"

"Dang," Tim said as he handed Dick's twenty over to Jason.

"Are we done now!?" Damian asked Bruce, who was trying to hide a smile of his own. Damian, emotionless, bratty, evil little Damian was soft for his partner, embarrassingly so. It made Bruce happier than he would admit that Damian had found someone to love.

"Not quite," he said. "I have a question."

Damian rolled his eyes. "What now?"

"Do you plan to stay with Jon as the years go by? Are you going to keep loving him?"

The boys quieted down and Damian's face went red. "I do," he said. "I'd do anything for Jon. Nothing he could do would change that."

"Good," Bruce said smiling. "Clark and I were right to team you two together." He stood up and walked away. "And leave Damian alone, you three."

"You got it," Dick answered.

"Fine," Tim replied.

"Uh huh, sure," Jason said.

With Bruce gone, Damian was free to strangle his brothers. He stood up with a scowl. Before he could take a step, Dick got up and left. "I'm out." He quickly walked away. Tim tried to follow but Damian blocked him.

"The recording. Now!" Tim shrugged and dropped it into Damian's hand with a smirk before racing up to his room. Damian turned to Jason, who hadn't even tried to move.

"Did you tell them!?" Damian asked.

"No, but you should have known Clark would come when he saw that Jon was missing. The man has super hearing." He got up and flicked Damian's head. "Twerp."

As Jason walked away, Damian sat back down with the recorder. He pressed the play button. "I love you too, Jon." He sighed and pressed delete. His brothers knowing his secret was going to be the death of him.
