Dick's Point Of View

I quickly finished my work and called Stephanie to my office to find out where Dami usually goes for his afternoon break .

After I headed to the library and found my mate sleeping on the couch with a book laying on his chest .

He looked so adorable and innocent, I hated to wake him up .

"Hey babyboy ." I gently shook him .

His eyes flu open at my touch and I could feel one of his vectors on me, ready to kill .

"Whoa whoa little horn it's just me !" I said bringing my hands up in surrender .

His alert expression changed back to it's normal blank .

"Apologies Grayson ." He said retracting the vector . "I advise you not to do that again in the future, I might kill you otherwise ."

Noted . I thought to myself .

"You're a light sleeper, huh ?"

"Have to be to survive on the street ." He pointed out sending a spike through my heart .

It made my heart ache knowing my mate was cold and alone on the streets .

I don't know much about Damian's life before I adopted him .

I found him bleeding out in a alleyway waiting for death and took him to the nearest hospital despite his demands for me to leave him alone .

Not long after I cross paths with him again and discovered he lived in an orphanage .

We don't talk about it much although he doesn't have an issue with the subject, infact it's quite the opposite .

He talks about it so casually it hurts . It's like he's numb to the severity of the conversation .

"Grayson, " The little figure in front of me pulled me out of my thoughts . "Is there a reason you are interrupting my afternoon break ?"

"Ah yes !" I smiled, knowing what was coming . "I got you something !"

I pulled out the box with dramatic flair . The pencil-sized red box had stick looking things on the front with Pocky written across .

With this Japanese game I can get him to eat and hopefully get a little lip lock .

"You bought me a box of sticks ?" He questioned .

"No, it's a game ." I smiled . "Wanna play ?"

"No thank you . I'd rather not waste my break on childish actions ." He scoffed grabbing his book from the couch .

He's like 13 ! What does he mean childish actions ?

"Come on baby horn, I'm bored play with me ." I begged .

Damian only clicked his tongue at this and I decided to take a different approach .

"Oh I see your scared to lose ." I gave an evil smirk .

Damian sent me a side glare showing to be taking the bait .

"Don't worry I get it baby horn, your smart enough to know when to pick your battles . I guess I'll just -"

"Fine I will play your stupid game but if I win you stop calling me your idiotic nicknames ."

I smirked and chose to make my own prize for winning .

"Okay but if I win you have to have dinner with me every Wednesday and Friday . Deal ?"

The horned child clicked his tongue again before agreeing .

We sit on the libraries couch and I opened the package while explaining how the game works .

"We each take an end of the Pocky and start eating to the middle without dropping it, the first one who pulls away loses . And if we both end up in contact, it's a tie ."

I smirked at the last bit knowing there's a possibility we'd kiss .

"In contact ?" I heard him mumble as he blush slightly .

I chose to play dumb and let him think I didn't hear him .

This should be fun .
