You were used to the notion that high school relationships never lasted, even though you’d seen it happen with your own eyes.  You were determined to live in the moment, and enjoy any and every relationship for what it was in that moment.

When you saw Damian you never saw what others saw.  You saw someone trying to find himself, his true self, within the expectation parameters that came with his last name.  You saw someone who could be so gentle and generous.  You saw someone who just wanted to be loved, no strings attached.

You loved that Damian never saw in you what Gotham chose to see.  Where Gotham saw a social climbing gold digger, Damian saw someone with a big heart who didn’t pay social classes any mind.  He loved that you held the firm belief that love shouldn’t be earned, and that he never felt like he had to try and earn your love.

To Damian, someone as sweet as you was someone to be protected.  He knew that as much as he always wanted to be there by your side to protect you, there were going to be times that he couldn’t.  That didn’t mean that he couldn’t equip you with the tools you would need to be able to protect yourself when he wasn’t there.

You were down in the batcave on one of the sparring mats.  You hadn’t managed to pin Damian once, and you knew he was already going easy on you.  You had a feeling that he wasn’t going to let you stop practicing until you’d successfully pinned him at least once.

You knew no matter how important proper technique was to breaking his hold, you were going to need something else.  As he started to pin you to the mat, you leaned up to catch his lips and his surprise.

“I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone manage to kiss themselves out of a hold, but nice try,” you heard Batman quip as he walked in.  You hadn’t even heard him walk in, but by now you were kind of used to that feeling.

You took the opportunity of Damian’s split attention flip him onto his back.  Even if you didn’t do it all by yourself, you were happy to be making some sort of progress.
