Leen's Attempt At Daminette December 2020

💞My Warmth Melted Your Heart💞

In this world, everyone has a little heart that gives the ability to express emotions. Some more than others.

Marinette's heart used to be so bright, joy and happiness radiating of it, but ever since Lila took all her friends away from her, it has dimmed a bit, a couple cracks on their way to healing on the surface. Her eyes are so much wider than they used to be. Her view on the world has changed. While she still has hope for it, she knows that sometimes letting go is something you must do. Holding on too tight sometimes will hurt even more.

Damian's heart has been hurt ever since he was a child. From the everlasting expectations from his grandfather to the lack of love and care from his mother. In the league, their hearts had been hidden from everyone so they wouldn't seem weak. The constant hurt from the figures in his life has broken Damian's heart many-many times that it froze over, saving the last that hasn't been. But because of this, Damian can't express his emotions very much. This is the reason he earned the title "Ice Prince." His heart at age 15, had been frozen for 10 years, expressing no emotions had became a habit.

15-years-old

Damian doesn't understand. "I do not need this Grayson," he said to his elder brother. Dick had set Damian up for a pen pal program, and the boy is not amused. "Come on lil' D! You need more friends in your life," the elder boy said. Deep down, Damian knew that having friends would be adequate, fun even, but the bigger part of him wonders who would want to be friends with him? A person with almost zero emotions?

16-years-old

Damian finds himself smiling at the text his pen pal had sent him. It felt weird to him, but it wasn't unwanted. While he doesn't actively wait around for a text from his pen pal, he enjoys reading a text from her. Her name was Marinette. A really bubbly person. She didn't seem offended by his lack of emotions or bluntness. Instead she tries to help him express himself, giving him tips about it. While it is slow, Damian knew he was progressing. His heart had glowed a little brighter, he smiles albeit rarely, but he still does it. Damian would forever deny that he was grateful to his brother.

17-years-old

Damian now would proudly call Marinette his friend. It had came as a complete shock to his family. Jason had asked Damian who he was texting to which Damian answered, "A friend of mine." Jason had stared, Tim rubbed his eyes repeatedly, Dick squealed, and Bruce, well he just went absolutely rigid at the word friend. The boy's father had asked again and again to Alfred if he had heard that right, to which Alfred answered everytime and lastly, "Master Bruce please do stop stating the obvious, it is not a good look on you." He stopped after that but he couldn't help the feeling of pride at his son.

18-years-old

Today was Damian's birthday, and for the first time in years, he smiled all day long. The Justice League had froze when the youngest Robin smiled, asking Batman again and again what had happened to his son. Their questions had only increased when he answered a single phone call. Only to these questions, not even his family could answer.

"Thank you, beloved."

For the first time in his life, his heart came flying out, not a single piece of ice in sight and completely healed. After all, an angel's heart had came radiating heat melting his heart.
