Since I'm stuck in ISS (In School Suspention) I'm completely bored and jumped on the computer. I've also noticed that they're not enough Damian and Colin stories on FanFiction. So I made one :) And My OC Ali is in this one. She's from my stories, How To Safe A Life and A Mother's Touch! ENJOY!


He was mentally and physically separated from his family. With his father gone for the first ten years of his life, a mentor that's afraid of succeeding his own mentor, a maid who was madly in love with a psycho, a quiet butler, a step-brother who hated him to the core of his being, and another step-brother who was a psycho and killed people he deemed unworthy of live (i.e. Criminals). Damian never really knew his father, but there were times when he wishes he had. His maid, Alastrina (or Ali), was a good person to talk to. She always knew what to say. But…he wanted to talk to his father for once; about what things his father would disapprove of. But Damian would never see his father again (according to Dick even thought him and Tim still know he's out there) but it was interesting to hear all the stories that Ali had told him about his father. But even with all the love Ali could give, he knew her heart was for another and that she tried so hard to keep that smile on her beautiful face but Damian could see it behind her eyes-even when she was smiling-deep inside, she wanted to cry.

Damian understood how Ali felt; alone, depressed, full of regret and pain. Yeah, Damian knew exactly how she felt; especially the Alone part. Damian was alone. He knew he was only ten and shouldn't worry about a relationship…but when you have no one there for you, you kinda want someone there, anyone. But no, Damian didn't have anyone. He knew it was pathetic to think that way. He was the son of Batman. Robin, the Boy Wonder. Part of the Dynamic Duo. He was a trained assassin for Christ sake! Why the hell was he so worried about being lonely? Maybe because of all the neglect in his life…that might be it.

So yeah, he didn't really have anyone…until Damian met him. He saved Damian's life… a kid that was about his age. A dumb kid. He went by the name Abuse due to his past and saved Damian's life. That was the thing that had Damian so baffled. And when he saw the boy for the first time without a shirt (not as Abuse but as himself), Damian could barley speak. The boy was beautiful; the way his face looked like it belonged to that of an innocent child, his scruffy bright red hair, and his eyes…those big beautiful blue eyes that seemed to be filled with love and hope despite his horrible past. And when the boy spoke, it was the cutest (yes, cutest) noise he'd ever heard in his life.

Colin Wilkes.

That's what his name was. And every time he heard that name and saw that face, Damian immediately stiffened up and held in every feeling for the boy; not wanting to let anything out for reasons that Damian didn't understand himself.

"Damian?" Colin asked as he waved a hand in front of Damian's face.

"Stop that." Damian said coldly as he grabbed Colin's wrist that was incased in a withered sleeve.

"Sorry, you just blacked out for a second or two. You okay?" Colin cocked a brow as he pulled his hand back.

"I'm fine." Damian stated. "Just thinking."

"You were thinking the whole time I was talking to you?" Colin asked; a little hurt.

"No…well, yeah a little. But I was listening." Damian assured.

Colin looked at the ice cream in his hand. The chocolate was slowly melting down the cone. Colin brought it up and licked the cream from the cone before it got his hand. His tongue-that was a plush pink color-scraped against the cone; lapping up the brown liquid and heading towards the large scoop. Damian swallowed as he watched this. His eyes slightly widening as he watched the red head lick it up.

"Man, I hate how chocolate melts so fast.

"T-that's because you keep biting it, Colin. When you go to bite it, your hot breath keeps melting the Ice Cream." Damian explained.

"Hmm, never saw it that way." Colin smiled as he continued to lick his Ice cream.

"Yeah," Damian couldn't take his eyes off the young boy who kept licking the cone hungrily.

"Hey, Damian what would you do if I got…you know…adopted by, um, people who didn't live in Gotham City?" Colin asked.

"What are you talking about?"

"Well, there are these people-from Keystone City-that are thinking about adopting me."

"All the way from Keystone?" Damian cocked a brow.

"Yeah, it is. And, I-uh-don't really want to go. But Sister Maggie said I had no choice."

"What do you mean you don't want to go?" Damian turned to Colin.

"Well, the people are nice-really nice-but I don't want to leave." Colin turned away.

"Why not?"

"Well, I kinda like Gotham and I like being a vigilante like you. You're really…cool, Damian. And I like working with you sometimes." Colin explained. "You're the only friend I have."

"But when you go to school, you'll make new friends." Damian assured. "You'll forget all about me."

"I could never forget that my best friend is Robin the Boy Wonder." Colin smiled. "I don't want to leave because I don't want to leave you."

Damian rolled his eyes. "Tt. You say that now. But the second you get to Keystone, I'm history."

"No way!" Colin shouted. "Damian, you're my best friend! I look up to you! You'll always be my best friend!"

Best friend. That's all Colin saw him as. Of course he shouldn't have been hurt because Colin was only ten and extremely clueless, plus the boy probably didn't have the same feelings. Damian didn't know and was too scared to fine out. Still, Damian was little hurt by the fact that Colin only saw him as nothing more then a favorite friend.

So Damian just smiled. "You're my best friend, too, Colin."

Colin smiles and sits down again.

"Hey, when you go to Keystone, say hi to an aquatic of mine." Damian stated.

"Sure if I see them. Who?"

"Kid Flash." Damian smirked as he saw Colin's eyes widen.

"Whoa! If I see him, I don't know what I'd do!" Colin swung his hands in the air; the ice cream falling on top of his head. "Oops."

"You idiot." Damian sighed as he got up and grabbed Colin; leading him to the bathroom. "What the hell were you thinking?"

"I got excited. Sorry." Colin said softly.

"Yeah, well now your excitement got Ice Cream all over your head." Damian pushed Colin into the bathroom and walked over to the paper towel dispenser and yanked out at least a dozen paper towels. When he turned around, Colin was tugging his jacket off and going towards is shirt.

"Keep your shirt on, Colin. It's not like it went to your shirt." Damian said as he used the paper towel to grab the huge blob of Ice Cream on Colin's head; chucking it in the trash. He then wet a few more paper towels and rubbed it on Colin's head to get all the cream out of his hair.

"I feel like I'm being bathed." Colin joked.

"Well next time don't spill Ice Cream on yourself." Damian growled as he wiped Colin's cheek softly. The chocolate had gone all the way down to his chin. Damian sighed. "You're incredible."

"I got excited!" Colin repeated.

Damian rubbed Colin's chin. "So excited that you decided to dump the Ice Cream on your head?"

"Yes." Colin nodded.

Damian rolled his eyes as she rubbed Colin's lips. Then his thumb brushed against his lips. They were softer than soft; beautiful. Damian leaned forward; pulling the paper towel down and leaning inward; his thumb brushing up against Colin's lips once more. Colin blushed as Damian got closer and closer to his lips. The tips of their noses touched, they're breaths hitched, and their eyes; they seemed to be staring at each others lips. Just as they were about to touch-

"Harder, better, faster, stronger. That-that-that-that don't kill me, can only make me stronger, I need you to hurry up now, cause I can't wait much longer." Damian's ring tone went off and Damian looked down; the moment ruined. He stepped back from Colin, whose face was redder then red; he plucked his cell phone from his cell phone form his pocket and answered it.

"What?"

"Damian, where are you?" Dick asked. "You've been gone since noon and it's six. Ali and Alfred are worried. And It's almost time for patrol. We gotta train."

Damian rolled his eyes. "Whatever, Grayson. I'll be home soon."

"Hurry." Dick said before cutting the line.

Damian sighed. "I-uh-gotta go." He gripped his phone. "Batman and Robin stuff, you know?"

Colin smiled; the blush still on his face. "Y-yeah. I-uh-yeah." Colin then moved forward and kissed Damian's cheek. "See you tomorrow." He waved and walked out of the bathroom, but then stopped when the door was about to close. "And thanks for the ice cream." Then he was gone. Damian standing there with a huge blush on his face.


"Ali?" Damian asked as he walked into her room.

She looked up from her laptop and looked at Damian; a pencil hanging from her mouth. She smiled and took the pencil from her teeth. "Oh, Damian, Look what I just bought! Ain't it cute?" She pulled up the laptop to show the large red elephant plush doll that she had bought for twelve dollars.

"No." Damian answered.

Ali giggled. "I knew you wouldn't like it." She set the laptop back on the bed.

"Hey, um, Ali, can I ask you something?" Damian asked.

"You already did, Sweetheart."

Damian glared at her as she laughed at his expression.

"Go on, Damian."

Damian sighed. "Um, well, I-uh-I have a friend that has feelings for another person, but is afraid to make a move. Well, he made a move today but was interrupted. But I-he doesn't really know how the other person feels. And he wants some advice on how to-."

"Who's the lucky girl, Damian?" Ali interrupted as she shut her Laptop and scooted towards the end on the bed.

"What? No it's not me, it's-."

"Damian, you're a rotten liar." Ali smirked as she crossed her arms.

Damian sighed. Ali patted the spot next to herself on the bed and Damian walked over and sat down on the soft covers.

"So, who's the lucky girl?"

Damian bit his lip. "Well, um, it's a friend. That I'm real close to, you know? And I don't know how to-well, express my feelings for that person."

"Well, the best way to express your feelings is to just throw it out. Let your feelings out and show the utmost confidence when you're telling her that you like her. Don't give away signs or tease, it's annoying." Ali waved her hand. "So just let it all out to her."

Damian looked away. "But, um, what if it's…a…boy?"

"A what?" Ali looked down at Damian.

"A boy? I-uh-have feelings for-uh-a boy." Damian started to play with his hands.

Ali smiled and wrapped her arms around him; placing her head on his shoulder. "Damian, that's cute."

"No it's not."

"Yes it is." She nodded. "I think it's completely cute and reasonable that you have feelings for Colin."

"I never said it was Colin!"

"Colin's the only boy you know that doesn't hate you, Damian. I know that you have feelings for him."

"And you're not disgusted?"

"Why would I be?" Ali pulled her head up and looked at him.

"Because I like another boy."

"So?"

"So? So what if I'm gay?"

"Are you?"

"No! I just…well, I don't like boys…just him." Damian explained.

"It's fine, Damian. I don't care if you're gay, straight, bisexual, transsexual, multisexual, or any other type of sexual. It's not gonna make me love you any less. I love you so much and it's cute to see that you have feelings for someone but you need to let it out."

"Yeah, Colin might be leaving soon, He might be getting adopted."

"Then you better be fast about it, Sweetheart." Ali smiled.

Damian jumped off the bed and walked towards the door. "Are you gonna tell anyone?"

"Do you want me to?"

"NO! Please. No."

"You're secrets safe with me, Honey." Ali promised.

Damian nodded and walked back towards the door; opening it and walking out; he stopped and looked back.

"Thank you, Ali."

"Anything for you, Damian."
