Tell me the Truth

Chapter 5

Damian- Robin

It's been three days. And she hasn't shown up to any of the tours that happened since W.E. What the hell is wrong with me!!
Sticking to the shadows, I perched on her window and watched the interaction between Kor'i, Marinette, and Chloé.
"Marinette, I know what he did. But you can't skip out on tours because of him." Chloé said.
"You don't get it! The second I'm alone, he's going to attack. That's how he got me last time. The one time I wasn't carful, I got raped. I said it out loud for the first time since it happened. I can't do this. I felt free for the first time in years. I'm still under their thumb. You don't know— you just don't get it. They use to be my friends and now they torcher me. They beat me till I'm bloody and bruised. I love you both so much, but you don't get it." She cried. How long has she been holding that in? By the looks ok Chloé's face, for awhile. She wrapped Marinette in a tight hug.
"MariBug, you can't keep to yourself with this. You have me and the group to vent to. I know we didn't protect you like we promised and we all feel guilty about it, but you gotta let someone in. Please. Your not happy and that's al we want." Chloé begged as Marinette cried into her shoulder.
"I-I-I- I don't blame you guys for what happened. I'm just...trying to get away from Paris. Paris is terrible for me. The second we got here, I felt a weight lift from my shoulders. I haven't felt this free since I was thirteen." She smiled before looking at the window. At me. Shit. "Hey, I'm really tired. Can we pick this up tomorrow?" She asked. I could see the pink tint in her cheeks.
"Yeah. Just make sure you get some sleep, and eat some food." Kor'i said before they hugged her and left.

"Get you ass out here Damian." She seethed. "You do known it's rude to spy and listen in on conversations right?"
Her eyes were red and puffy, and her arms were crossed. But to me she looked...... oh what the hell, might as well admit it.. beautiful.
"I'm sorry, I have been.....worried. After what happens at W.E. You stopped going on tours."
She scoffed before she walked to the bathroom, and closed the door. I heard the water run for a few minutes before she walked out.
"Listen, I don't know why your here, and frankly I couldn't care less, but if your here out of pity go ahead and take a hike. I need to go out and buy fabrics."
"I'm not." I said before realization dawned on me. "How did you know I was Damian?"
She laughed. Actually laughed. "It's obvious. Wayne's are the only people that can afford all the gadgets and computers needed to be a hero. Plus, the last eat Robin (you) first appeared about two months after you met your father. I also know all about your past. Now, please leave me alone."
Wow, she's smart, beautiful, kind, and amazing. What can't she do?
"Will you go out with me?"
What the hell is wrong with you me?!!
I watched her reaction closely. The way her cheeks turned a bright red. How she hunched her shoulders and fiddled with her fingers. How she glanced from the floor to me and back tot he floor.
I smiled slightly.......Wait I can smile?..... anyway— I walked up to her and took off my mask. I gently took one of her hands in mine, and her head snapped up. I knew the instant she locked her eyes with mine, I had her absolute attention. This woman, just wouldn't leave me alone. The way she talked, how she smiled, how she treated others.
"Will you go out with me?" I asked again.
"I-I-I———— ok." She sighed and looked away.
"Alright. I'll pick you up tomorrow at 6." I leaned down and kissed her cheek, before repositioning my mask and jumping out the window.

Marinette

"What just happened?" I asked the empty room. And when it sunk in all the way I went and woke Chloé up.
"Chloé!" I yelled
"What?" She asked sleepily.
"I need your help." I said as my eyes darted to all the shadows of the room.
"Why?" She asked while sitting up in bed.
"Because, Damian asked me out. And I said ok."
I don't know what's worse, that fact she tackled me, or the high pitched squeal that came out of her.
"I knew it the second he call me, saying you were sick. He couldn't stop watching you on the tour." She gushed.
I sighed. This isn't good, I live in Paris. I mean I won't for long, but there's a very small chance I'll get into Gotham University. I mean he's cute, and nice, and cares about me. But it's probably just an act. I mean he is a Wayne.
"I know that look, Dupain-Cheng. Don't even start."
"Too late. Why on earth would he like me I'm a nobody he's a Wayne! A WAYNE! And I probably get into Gotham University. How the hell can I even think about a relationship with a guy that is just doing it for press. Chloé I can't even think of a possible option for him to like me. I've known him for three days! Three Days!!!"
"Marinette calm down. By that amazing rant you just pulled, you like him too. He saved you. He saved you and took you in when you needed it. He didn't even know you. Plus, he's normally really cold and mean towards people. How did he ask you?"
I blushed five shades of red. "He held my hands and looked me in the eye. Then—then—then he kissed my cheek and left."
Chloé broke out in laughter. "I've known them for awhile and he is never like that. You did it! You melted the Ice Princes heart!" She roared.
I blushed before flopping on the bed and burying my face in the pillow.
