Saving The Heart

Part Four : Chapter Four

I- I just- I just love this story so much??? These boys have become my life! Anyway, how did you guys like the action sequence? Was it ok? Let me know and enjoy this chapter!

"Yes! I can't believe I'm going on my first mission as a Teen Titan!" Jon pumped his fists.

"You've worked with us before, you know?" Damian said. "It's not that big of a difference. Also, this is a stealth mission."

Damian and Jon were in the vents of the White House, where Damian had- of course- already cut off all of the security cameras. The mayor had been replaced with a shapeshifting alien, and while the others replaced it with the actual mayor, the Supersons were in charge of gaining info on who had done this. And why.

"It's tight in here," Jon said.

"Obviously," Damian replied. He didn't look at Jon and stared straight ahead through the vents.

"Hey," Jon said. "Are you upset with me or something? You haven't been like this with me in like, two years."

"I'm fine," Damian said. Jon stopped and grabbed his cape.

"Damian, do we need to talk?"

"When have I ever wanted to talk about my feeling, Jon?"

"Is this about me beating you earlier?"

"... Can we not do this now?"

"Damian, that was one fight. Of course-"

"But it wasn't one fight Jon!" Damian retorted. "You've outmatched me in basically every fight we've had in the past year! And if my thirteen year old partner can beat me, then what good am I at all?"

Jon just stared at him. " First if all, I am deeply offended, but second, I have powers Damian. You've just barely lost to a Super. You may be the second best thing to Batman, but you're not the second best thing to me. We're equals. That's why our fathers paired us together in the first place! Just because I'm biologically stronger and faster than you doesn't make me a better fighter. You were literally raised by assassins! When I told you I wanted you to love yourself on my birthday, I meant it." He took Damian's hand. "You are incredible, Damian."

The two boys just stared into each other's eyes while holding hands. Damian leaned in and kissed Jon, quick and soft.

"That was disgustingly mushy, Jon," he said.

"Maybe," Jon replied, "yet you still kissed me."

"Only to shut you up," Damian said with a smile.

"Uh huh, sure-"

"All security guards have been knocked out around the mayor's office," Starfire's voice interrupted through their communicators.

"Good," Damian replied and kicked the vent open, hopping down. Jon looked down and shook his head with a smile. What am I going to do with him?

He jumped down to meet Damian and the two snuck towards the doors. "On three," Damian said. Jon nodded.

"One..."

"Two..."

"Three!"
