After years of hating him because of his ego and his attitude, Mykie learns that Damian Wayne isn't who he seems.
He hated her because of who her father was and because she was the only one who could best him in everything. But what happens when Da...
(Sorry there hasn't been much elaboration on the timeline. But this is around a week or two before Christmas. Or the winter holidays.)
It's been a couple weeks since mine and Damian's first date and since then we've had a few more. We're now on a short break from school for some unknown reason. I walk into Damian's room to see if he wanted to do something with me to find him sitting there with Titus in his lap and Alfred the cat sitting on the back of his neck. I laugh quietly and walk up behind him kneeling down and kissing his cheek startling him. He goes to tell the person off that scared him but calmed down seeing that it was only me.
"What are you doing here Kay?" He questioned and I sit beside him. "I came to see if you wanted to do something with me. But I see that your animals have all your attention." I joke he chuckles. "I was actually going to come find you later on in the night. But I suppose I could ask you now." He started. I look at him confused and cock my head to the side. "You know how Father has his annual Holiday Gala?" I nodded urging him to continue. "I was wondering if you would like to accompany me?" I'm a little surprised he asked me but also very happy as well. I nod my head smiling.
I wrap my arms around his neck hugging him tightly as he wraps his arms around my waist. Titus gets up and walks away as Alfred the cat gets off Damian's neck. Once Titus is out of Damian's lap he pulls me so I'm sitting down. Damian and I have been officially together for about a week now and ever since we got together he's been a lot more affectionate towards me and fighting less with his brothers.
"Hey little D. Bruce wanted me to... What's going on in here?!" Dick exclaims as he barges into Damian's room. I groan as I pull away from him. "Go away Dicky. Can't you leave us be." I said as I laid my head back on Damian's shoulder. "Do you ever learn to knock Grayson." Damian growled at his older brother. "Bruce wanted me to get you. Said he needs to debrief you on the new mission." He stated shrugging. This causes me to pull away once again from him and stare into his eyes. 'What new mission is he talking about Dami?' I pushed into his mind he sighs glaring at his brother who walks out of the room before turning to me. "Don't even think about it Grayson." He snaps at him then looks me in the eyes. 'Nothing you need to worry about beloved.' He pushed back as he gets up still holding me and places me on his bed. 'Obviously I should be worrying if you don't want me to know what it is.' I say and he sighs and pulls something out of his pocket. He sits down in front of me and takes my hand. That's when I notice the black ring that's wrapped around his index finger, yet he has never been the type of person to wear jewelry. He takes my hand and pulls out a smaller matching black ring and places it on my right ring finger.

'This is a distance ring beloved. So no matter where I am you can still feel my heartbeat and I can feel yours. Father needs me to leave with him for a mission for a little while. I promise I will be back before the Holiday Gala, you have my word.' He pushed into my mind as he lays his forehead against mine. He gets up and places a kiss against my head before lightly kissing my lips and leaving the room with Dick. I lay back onto his bed and play with the ring.
I go down to the cave to say goodbye to them but when I reach the ground I notice that they're already gone, and that the bat-jet was gone. I sigh and walk back up to my room.
One Week Later
This past week has been extremely lonely. All the guys went on the mission with Bruce and Barbra has been keeping Wayne Enterprise afloat while they're gone and Alfred has been in and out of the batcave assisting them with whatever case they're working on, so I'm by myself all day once I get home from school. I haven't been feeling the best since Damian left. But I still feel his heartbeat from our rings so I know he's okay even when I feel his injuries.
There's a week and a half left until Christmas and until the Gala and we still don't know when they'll be home. I also don't know what the mission is that they had to up and leave for.
There's a knock on my door so I get out of bed and open it to see Steph and Artemis standing there. "Hey girls. What's going on?" I asked as they walked in. "We are taking you shopping to find a dress for the gala next weekend." Steph stated jumping up and down. Artemis and I chuckle and roll our eyes at her cheeriness.
When we get to the mall Steph starts dragging us to different dress shops. We were at the mall for three hours and had gone to every dress store and still hadn't found anything. "Can we just go home already. We've been here far too long." Artemis complained and I laughed. "Not yet there's still one store left that we haven't gone to yet." Steph exclaimed. "We need to find Will a dress that will make Damian regret leaving her behind." She continued this made Artemis laugh and me roll my eyes yet again. "With it being Christmas and freezing in Gotham we want something red and with long sleeves. So get looking girls we don't have very long." Steph demands as we walk into the final store. "Hello. How may we help you ladies?" One of the sales girls asked as we stepped in the store. "Umm. We're looking for dresses for the Annual Wayne Holiday Gala." I explained to her. She give me a look the reads that she doesn't believe me. "Right. What are you girls looking for in the dresses?" She asked and Steph replied. "So for our friend Kayla we were thinking of a long sleeve tight red dress. And for Artemis and I, we don't have a preference." The sales girl nods and walks off to find some dresses.
She comes back with a rolling rack full of dresses for us to try on. She brings us to the back where the fitting rooms are and divides up the dresses for each of us that she thinks would look good on us. She finally asks the question I know she's been dying to ask. "How do you guys even know the Wayne's? That Gala is invite only so you would have to know them." I chuckle as I slipped on one of the dresses. "So Kayla is best friends with the three older Wayne boys and she's dating the youngest Wayne boy Damian. I'm dating Tim the second youngest and Artemis here is our best friend and part of our friend group." Steph explained. "Bruce is also like family to me." I stated after Steph. "Is there a reason you wanted a tight fitting dress for your friend?" She asked and Steph laughed. "You see. Kayla's boyfriend Damian had to go on a business trip with his dad leaving her here all alone. So we wanted to get her a tight fitting dress so she can show him what he missed while he was away and regret leaving her behind." She stated while she laughed causing the girl to join in.
I went through just about all eight dresses that the girl found for me and none of them were just right. I have one left so I slip that one on and open the curtain to get one of the girls to help do up the back. "Mykie. I think this is the one. You look incredible and Damian is going to love it. He won't be able to keep his hands off you." Artemis stated as she finished lacing up the back. I turn and look in the mirror and I'm in awe. The dress is really simple but it's perfect. I look at the two girls behind me who already have their dresses and nod. "This is the one. I'll take it." I said smiling.
After we pay for our dresses and accessories we head out to the parking area where Alfred is waiting for us. "Good Evening Miss. Mykie, Stephanie and Artemis. Did you ladies find what you were looking for?" Al asked us as we got to the limo. We nodded out heads as he took our bags from us to put them in the back after he opened the door for us to get in. Right as I'm about to get in the car I get a sharp pain in my thigh and in my shoulder. I drop to the ground holding my shoulder screaming. Artemis jumps out of the limo and runs over to me. "Mykie! Are you okay!" She rushes out I nod. "I-I-it's not me. D-Damian. He's hurt." I stuttered she helps me back up and into the car to go back to the manor.
'Dami? What happened? Are you okay?' I pushed out hoping it would reach him. I don't get a reply so that tells me that he's too far away. That not even our bond is strong enough to reach the distance. I hope he's okay.
