Opening the door to his room Damain slides out not making a sound at all, just as he had been taught. It was quiet in the manor, being the time it was early morning it had to at least be 4:15 or 4:30 am. It didn't bother him at all, use to this time. Looking down the halls no one was awake, he wasn't sure if his father was out as Batman or not. Either way it didn't matter, walking down the hall he comes to a stop infront of a door to a room. His green eyes slide over to it. Opening the door with ease and no noise, he slides in.
There he saw you sleeping like everything was fine. He kept looking down at you, the scowl on his face didn't change at all, he looks closer and noticed you where smiling. Smiling in your sleep? This puzzled the young ninja boy. Who would smile in their sleep? For what reason would they do so? This was something he was not use to seeing. Though he knew what a smile was, and why people would smile, he just didn't understand why they would in their sleep. Next thing a small laugh escaped you. As you turn over towards him still sleeping, you smile seem to had gotten bigger.
Amazed by this though he tried not to show it, but it showed as he stepped backward. But regains himself, looking around you room. To him this was not fitting, though for someone like you it would be. Walknig around he remembered in his training that one can learn a lot from another through their living quarters. So that is what he did, you smiled more then he though an human was possible. So he would find out why this way or get to know you this way. Going through your things being careful not to make any noise, he checked over at you a few times. You hadn't woken up yet, which he was thankful for. Not much could really find execpt you where normal. Yet even though your room showed much, there was something that just didn't seem so with him. Making his search much more thorugh search.
A sometime in your room and with the search he leaves you, coming out your room with no noise. As he shuts the door. He just looks at it.
"Strange."he tells himself.
"What is Master Damain?"Alfred asks the young boy.
Though suprised the boy did not show it, he calmly turns around the butler, as he quickly puts something in his pocket.
"Alfred, good your up. I need a blade. One that is well edge, the precession a master. Do have one of those in this..."he looks around the manor then back at the butler"Manor?"
"Yes"Alfred looks at your door then back the young boy. Who waited."This way, sir."he turns and leds him away.
You finally wake up, lucky for you it was Friday, you didn't have school. Though some other students did, you didn't Bruce made it to where would have it only four days a week. You knew why, and you didn't mind. Done with your shower, you where now getting dress, in simple jean shorts, with off-white blouse and sandles. With your outfit done, you just needed a but to finish up though noticed something.
Bruce had just woken up he had to hurry up and get to the office and asked Alfred how his son was doing which he saw he was training in the backyard with his grandfather's katana. Which Bruce was amazed and proud of seeing his son's form and skills.
"Good morning, and Alfred"you greet them your hair laid on your back., the two men turn around to you. You smile at them, then look around.
"Good morning."Alfred greets you, Bruce follows after.
"Where is Damain?"you asked looking around for the ten year old boy.
"Outside."Bruce tells you, he uses his hand to show you, you follow it and see him. His back was turned to you, looking around in the backyard you see the damage he had done. You rush outside.
With his back turned was looking at something he was holding, when heard your running footsteps. He quickly puts away what he had. He turns around to you face you, though you run right pass him, which surprised him.
Inside Bruce and Alfred saw this. They see you over to the head of girrafle the boy had cut off, you pick it up in your arms. Distrout was written all over your face"Oh dear"Alfred remembered.
You had done animals in the back, you did them the second you lived with them, and you would trim them every two months. Bruce remembered, they both hurry outside.
Damain looks at you not understanding why you where upset at this. He goes over to you looking over you as you stayed kneed on the ground.
"I do not see this what the fuse is about. It is nothing more then bush carved into a animal."he tells you"It was not the best, I did this garden a favor."
Hearing those words your head drops, he realized this. Before he could say anythings he hears two more sets of footsteps. His father and Alfred come to his side. Alfred goes to you, just as he was about to touch you. You stand up shaking your head, though you where really shaking your tears away. Turning around, you where still holding the head, you smile at the young Wayne.
"It's alright. It did need a trimming."you tell him, with your smile still on your face. Placing the head down, patting it, you look back at Damain"You have some pretty good moves, just like your father. Right Mr. Bruce?"you look at Bruce.
Damain stares at you with wide eyes, he couldn't believe it. Placing your hand on the head"Guess you really do loss your head."you laugh at your pun. You soon stop "Well, have a good day at the office."you tell Bruce. With that you hurry up and leave.
Alfred hurries and follows you. Damain looks at the head. His Father breaks his train of thought, he could tell his son was not able to understand.
"Damain."he calls to his son in a stern tone."Don't let Violet's smiles fool you. You need to understand this is not just your home."
Back with you inside, you and Alfred had started making somethings for breakfast, Damain came in a few minutes later.
"My father has left for the office."he tells you and Alfred"I shall be up in my room Alfred w-"
You grab hold of him, much to his surprise. You tug on him"Stay with us Damain and lets all make breakfast together. Come on it will be fun."
"Fun? Fun you say?"he takes back his arm from you"I do not a servents work. Now I shall be up in my room. When it is done, bring it to me."was all he said coldly and left.
Making his way up to his room, he shuts the door. Throwing his sword to the side sits down in one of the chairs, he takes out white lace ribbion. It was not cheap, no this coast money and he knew it. And it belonged to you. He took out one more thing it was a silver locket with the initiels VG on them. It belonged to you as well. Out of all the items he took from your room, these two stood out. He didn't know why, they just did. Opening the locket he finds a picture of you with a dolce expression on your face and next to you a young man at least in his early 20's with black hair and blue eyes. He was handsome for his age. The man was smiling tenderly like a brother.
For some reason Damain narrowed his eyes at him. Though he quickly put it away as someone came in. It was you, you pop your head in and see him. You smile as you come into his room carrying a tray with two plates of equal food and two cups of orange juice with a pitcher. You place the tray on the desk. Damain watched you carefully as you take a plate off and hand it to him. You then get his cup which he takes both you then get your food and drink as you take a sip, and sit on the floor.
"Where is Alfred, is this not his job?"he asked you
You had food in your mouth, so you swallow before you say anything."I asked him if I could bring it up here. To you, I hope you don't mind."
"..."he didn't know what to say.
You just ate your food like it was nothing, humming to yourself, while Damain remained quiet. He ate his food, he would take glances at you. Though you never noticed. He wasn't sure what to do, with you mainly. He was use to being around his mother a female just like you as well other females from the league. His tounge was not tied like this. It felt like lead. For some reason his heart was racing, yet it did not do that with the other females from the league nor with his mother. He watched you dap your mouth, then laugh quietly to yourself. Finally feeling eyes on you, you look at him.
"Yes?"you asks him.
He regains his normal look. "Nothing" he takes a bit of his melon.
Outside the room Alfred, was watching the two of you. He couldn't help but smile at Damain and you though mainly Damain. How this highly trained iron ninja who knew everyone man known martial arts, weapons skills anyone could think of. Use to being the predator, was now becoming the prey of these new found feelings and affections towards you. Which you did not seem to see. He saw the items he tried to hide, and when he went into your room. He knew from last night the young master flushed at the sight of you. It sparked a fire in him, that he was trying to understand. Alfred knew Bruce saw it too, he knew Bruce told you to be his son's first friend. Though he read between the lines, Damain needed someone to keep him grounded, and you needed someone keep you grounded as well and safe.
He could see it with the two of you, though on the outside you two had different personalities yet under it was same. Smiling to himself Alfred leaves the two you alone.
