Thanksgiving break finally arrived, giving you Wednesday, Thursday and Friday off from school. A much-needed break after having essays due and a ton of tests on Monday and Tuesday.

Thanksgiving had always been one of your least favorite holidays. Something about having to talk to so many people and getting asked so many questions.

This year was no different, family came from out of town. The family gathering was set at your house.
Meaning you would have your younger and older cousins under one roof, one word loud. Not to mention the younger the cousin the more clingy since they didn't see you much.

First off, the awkward hugs and kisses. Then there was a lot of, "You've grown so much!" or "You've lost all your baby fat, " from your aunts and uncles. "How are your grades?" or even "What grade are you in again?" repeatedly asked over and over.

You absolutely loved your family but repetitive question was definitely one of your biggest pet peeves. It wasn't all bad you did have some fun but you did this every year, you were bound to get sick of it at one point.

Ah, and finally that wretched question, "Do you have a boyfriend yet?" to which you merely just nervously giggled at. It was a normal level of awkward then until one of your older cousin showed everyone a picture of you and Damian together, posted on a website.

Naturally, everyone freaked out as you anticipated. The rest of the day was filled with your grandma and aunts talking about when they dated people. Let's just say they went into real detail.

Your parents took Thanksgiving off but called into work the rest of the break. That meant you were home alone.

Hey Dams, got any unfinished business to attend to today?

No unfinished business to attend to. Would you like to come over Beloved?

Indeed I do Mr. Wayne.

Perfect, I'll see you soon then.

You smile as you read the messages.

You quickly get ready, bringing a small purse with you. Then you call a taxi which arrives in a matter of minutes.

------------------ At the Manor -------------------

You rang the doorbell and were greeted by Bruce. "Good afternoon (Y/N), I presume you're here to see Damian, " to which you politely reply with, "Good afternoon Bruce, yes I am. I texted beforehand to make sure he wasn't busy, " Bruce smiles.

"Please come in. Dick tells me you were around last weekend, I do apologize for not being here, my presence was needed in the office, " he says as you take off your coat. "There's no need to apologize, Bruce, I completely understand how busy people can get, " he gives you a toothy smile.

"(Y/N), I didn't know you were coming over today, " Dick says descending the stairs.

"I was planned last min-, " you were interrupted, "She's with me today, Grayson, " Damian says walking into the foyer, he was wearing a black turtle neck and some grey sweatpants.

He nears you and snakes his arm around your waist, pulling you closer to him and kissing your cheek. You swore you could a small smirk tugging at Bruce's lips as he walked away into the kitchen.

"Woah, chill Lil'D, " Dick says acting hurt. "T-t, " Damian scoffed in response as he guided you up the staircase.

"I thought your brothers weren't around during weekdays, " you state confused. "Unfortunately they're staying until the end of the week due to Thanksgiving, "Damian says sounding dissatisfied.
