Her secrets

Chapter 6

Blaire takes her hair out and brushes it out, looking at the white streak. "Crap. I need to hide that." She mumbles, tying her hair back into a messy bun. "That'll do." She says to herself. She grabs her cell phone and walks back downstairs. Damian looks over at her, his cheeks flushing slightly.

"You look nice." He says, causing Blaire to slightly blush. "Thanks." She says, smiling warmly at him. She sits down next to him on the sofa, the front door opening. "Blaire Bear! Your favourite brother is home." He grins. "You're my only brother." Blaire says, smirking. "And that's why I'm your favourite." He chuckles, walking into the living room. "Is this your friend?" He asks, his eyes on Damian. "Yeah. This is Damian. Damian, this is my brother Blake." Blaire says, her smirk replaced with a happy smile.

"Hello Blake. It's nice to meet you." Damian says, offering a kind smile. "Hey. Nice to meet you, too." Blake says, returning the smile. "You even tink of hurting my little sister, I'll show you what the inside of a holding cell looks like." Blake says, his smile disappearing as fast as it appeared. "Uh...okay..." Damian says. "Your brother is so over protective...." He mumbles, looking at Blaire. "Yeah. It only gets worse the longer he knows you." She mumbles back, smiling at the green eyed boy.

"Worse? How much worse could he get?" Damian questions her quietly. "He shot my ex boyfriend in the back with paintballs when he first met him. So many bruises. And it was only supposed to be a game." Blaire says, looking him directly in the eyes. "Blake can get very scary when he's in over protective big brother mode."

Blake comes down the stairs, a box of hair dye in his hand. "Here you go, Blaire." He says, handing her the box. "Thanks Blakey." She says, grabbing the dye. "Hair dye?" Damian questions. "Yeah...my hair is turning white." She sighs. "I didn't even notice. You're hiding it well." He says, smiling. "Yeah. Hopefully the dye will fix it." Blaire says, returning his smile. Blake sits on the armchair, watching them.

Damian checks his phone. "Alfred will be here in half an hour." He says, glancing at Blake. Blaire nods, her smile lighting up her eyes. "Okay. Wanna go up to my bedroom?" She asks. Damian nods. "Sure." Blake smiles. "Keep the door open," He says sternly. "Okay. We will." She says, smiling over at Blake. She stands up with Damian and leads him up to her bedroom.

Blaire opens the door and walks into her room, Damian right behind her. Damian looks around her bedroom. It's a nice looking bedroom. Even if it is small. Blaire puts the box of hair dye down on her dresser. She'll dye her har later. "You've got a nice room." Damian says, sitting down on her bed. "Thanks. It's cozy and warm."

"Seems like it." He smiles. Blaire sits next to him. "What do you like to do in your free time?" Blaire asks him. "Hmm. Well I don't really get much free time. I have school work, homework, tutuoring, sports...family time." He says. "But I like listening to music." He adds. Blaire smiles at him. "What about you?" Damian asks.

"I like drawing and painting. Anything that involves art or music." Blaire says, smiling happily." Cool." He says, also smiling. "Can I see some of your artwork?" Damian asks, looking at Blaire's face. "Sure." She says, grabbing her sketch book out. She hands it to him and he starts flicking through it. "These are good." Damian says, making Blaire blush a bit.

Half an hour passes quickly. Damian gets a text from Alfred. "Alfred is here." He says, standing up and grabbing his backpack. Blaire stands and walks with him down the stairs. "Blaire, be good. I'll see you when you get home." Blake says. "I'm always good. I'll see you later, Corn Flake." Blaire smiles, walking ou of the house with Damian. She gets into the limo with him, a small smile on her face.

Alfred drives to Wayne manor. It doesn't take long to get there. Once the car stops, Damian leads Blaire to the front door and walks inside with her. "Alfred will show you to the living room while I go get changed." Blaire nods, following Alfred into the living room.

Blaire glances arounf the living room as they enter. Jason is sitting on the couch with another boy. The other boy has black hair and bright blue eues. In one hand he has a cell phone. And in the other, a cup of coffee. "Hey Blaire." Jason says, smiling at her. "Hi." She says, returning his smile. She sits down on the couch with the two boys. "Tis is Tim. He probably won't talk much. He's constantly glued to his cell phone. Jason chuckles, nudging Tim's shoulder.

"Huh?" Tim mumbles, glancing at Blaire. "Oh. Hey. You're Blaire, right?" He asks, smiling at her. "Yeah. It's nice to meet you." Blaire says, smiling back at him. "Tou too. Dami talks about you a lot." He says. Damian walks in, glaring at Tim. "No I don't." He says, folding his arms over his chest.

Jason smirks at Damian. "Yes you do, Demon Spawn." He says. "Because you have a crush on her." Blaire bites her tongue, holding back a blush. "Just ast night you were talking about impressing her~" Jason laughs. By now, Damian's cheeks have turned bright red. "Shut up, Todd!" Damian growls. Dick walks in, a smile on his face. "Hey Dami." He says, noticing Blaire. "Hey Blaire." He adds. "Hey." Blaire says.

Blaire is kind of freaking out. 'Does Damian really talk about me? Or are his brothers just trying to tease him?' She thinks to herself. "Blaire. ell us about yourself." Tim says, putting his phone down. "Well. I really like art and music. I'm hoping to get into an art school after high school." Blaire tells them. She's wanted to go to an art school for most of her life. "You'll get in. You're a good artist." Damian tells her. Blaire's cheeks slightly tint red. "Thanks, Damian." She says, slightly smiling.

Damian smiles back, looking into her eyes. Bruce walks into theliving room. "Hello Blaire. It's nice to see you again." He says, sending her a genuine smile. "It's nice to see you, too." She ays, returning his smile with her own. Bruce sits down in the arm chair across from the couch. He studies Blaire's face while she chats with the boys. He doesn't fully trust her yet.

Alfred walks into the room. "Dinner is ready." He says. Everyone gets up and walks into the dining room. Blaire walks with them. She's still a bit nervous. Blaire sits at the table beside Damian. Alfred has set the food on the table. So everyone can serve themselves. There's vegetables, chicken and mashed potatoes.

The boys serve themselves their dinner. Blaire does the same. Bruce is talking with Jason about school and 'work'. "Blaire. How are rehearsals for drama class going?" Damian asks her. "Pretty good. Milo and I still need a bit more practice. But we should have it down by Tuesday." She says, smiling at Damian.
