Little (Y/n) was never a talkative child to begin with. He was always kind, and happy. No matter what you gave him, he was always satisfied with a little.
But things changed for little (Y/n), once he suffered the lost of his parents, he was now more...
After a few days, the weekend of Y/n's punishment was finally done for.
It surprised him how much being grounded or restricted, like Bruce said, really sucked, and it was worst since Damian was being cold to him since the day they discovered what was Chalcedony made of, or rather by who.
He tried exchanging a few words with the older, but that was the only thing recieved, a few words in exchange. And in a way it was wrecking him emotionally, to the point of him wanting to be alone than to be with someone that could potentially made him remmember him.
The worst part was that three days have passed since the punishment was off, and Tanzanite hasn't visited him, and that made him worry a lot.
His days consisted of School, Ballet, walking around the city, than arrive home just to sleep.
He only wanted things to be like they used to be, like before he got his powers. He was at the moment deep in thoughts, trying to think of a way to at least mend his broken relationship with Damian, even though he didn't quite knew the reason.
However the school bell rang, notifying the students that classes ented for the fay. This startled Y/n, and helped him to break his thoughts so he could began what was his now daily routine. When he exited the school he saw Damian getting up on Alfred's ride. The latter waved at him, Y/n waved back with a nostalgic smile, and walked away slowly.
During his way back for ballet session, his emotional state began falling.
The open stores seemed to remind him of the times they used to walk around the city, talk about sweet nothing accompanied by small laughter here and there. It was hard to see things differently with the same eyes.
He let out a sigh, and ignored all the little details that made him happy, turn to be depressing, and so casual. Nothing was like it used to, not as special as things were, it was the opposite, and beyond that.
Once he arrived, his ballet teacher, Miss Parker, welcomed him with a hug, and a warm smile.
"Good evening, Y/n!" She broke off the hug, and accompanied the latter to the insides of the building.
"Evening, Miss Parker." He said softly, however his voice carried a different feeling that was never seen from him. "What's going on? Your more happier than usual." He chuckled softly.
"I have good news for ya', kiddo." She smiled ever more radiant. "Your going to be in a competition against five other dancing teams, alongside Jacob!"
Her happiness radiated exaggeratedly. Howver things weren't the same for Y/n part. Of course he was happy for the news, but thanks to the akward situation he was with Damian, things were a lot different, and it scared him how black, and white things felt without Damian.
Things were pretty clear around the pair that things weren't as clear as they want, and Miss Parker knew him very well by now, and the silence was more than evident that things weren't okay at his end.
"Look Y/n, I know you haven't been feeling well for a good while, and I want you to know that I am here for you, okay?"
"Thank you, Miss." He smiled at her.
"Do me a favor, and take the rest of the weekend off. I want you at least in your 50% when your back." She smiled back, and put a hand on his back.
"I'll try." He chuckled earning the same thing as well from his teacher.
Both of them said their goodbyes for the week, and Y/n walked to the outsides of the building, when he was about to open the door he met with his dancing partner Jacob.
"Hey, long time no see, how've you been, bud?" He hugged Y/n since both of them haven't seen each other much in the ballet sessions.
"I'm okay..." He said softly, while breaking the hug.
"That's rare comming from you, is everything ok?" Jacob put a hand on one of Y/n's shoulder, and looked directly at his E/c orbs.
"If I'm honest? No... They are not..." He sighed in defeat, and looked down. "But don't worry, It's not that big of a deal." He said forcing a smile.
Jacob looked at him, and gave him a pity look.

He knew he wasn't doing okay, and he was trying to convince him he was okay so he didn't have to help the latter. You could say Y/n had a habbit of helping people, but he always guessed that he was the person that didn't want help from anybody, and he was beyond right.
"Wait for me outside." He said giving him his jacket, backpack, and phone.
"W-Wait, what are you going to do? Don't you have to do a ballet session?" Y/n asked confused, with a hint of worry.
"I'll cancel it, I'll be right back!" He said running to what Y/n assumed was to Miss Parker.
He waited right next to the entrance of the building, both bags he was holding were next to his feet, while he was resting his back on the wall, he was holding Jacob's jacket ever so tightly, and smelling the strong, yet captivating scent that was calming him for the meantime.
"Boo!" Jacob shouted next to Y/n, making the poor boy get startled, and drop some of the stuff he carried.
"Jacob! Don't be like that!" Y/n said sternly, while he puffed his cheeks out.
"C'mon, let's go." Jacob picked his stuff, but let Y/n hold his jacket.
"Where are we going? Are you not going to go the dancing session?" The smaller asked, and looked at the other's eyes.
"I'm skipping for today, Miss Parker told me to spend the day with you as a celebration for us being chosen for tournament's."

"Oh right, I forgot you were in this too..." Y/n slapped his face gently in disappointment.
"You were not kidding when you said things weren't okay." Jacob laughed softly. "But don't worry, we can think about that later." He looked at Y/n, and gave him a warm smile.
