"What time does Selina require you to be home?" Damian asked, walking through the front door to Wayne Manor.
"She just said to send her a text." Colin replied.
"Hey, Colin." Dick said, walking past them. "You two hanging out?" He asked.
"We have a presentation to complete on gangs in the nineteen-twenties." Damian corrected.
"Okay. Have fun." Dick said, ruffling Damian's hair and ignoring the growling sound he made.
"Let's go, Colin." Damian said, practically dragging Colin along to his room.
"So what area should we start working on first?" Colin said, swinging his bag off his shoulder.
"Colin?" Damian said.
"Yeah." Colin looked up at him and blinked when he saw Damian's expression.
"Can we talk?" He asked.
"Of course. What's wrong, Damian?" Colin asked. Damian sat on the edge of his bed and Colin joined him.
"When you are around me, I feel strange. And I can't help but think about you." Damian said, looking him in the eye. "I can barely concentrate in lessons we share."
"Dami," Colin said, resting his hand on Damian's knee reassuringly. "I like you too." He said, meeting Damian's eye. Colin pecked Damian's lips quickly before he could change his mind. (If life as Stray had taught him anything it was to never waste an opportunity).
Damian looked at him, quickly processing what had happened and surged forwards, kissing Colin. He slid his hands around Colin's neck, playing with strands of his hair.
Colin tensed. This was happening. Damian was kissing him back. His heart was racing in his chest.
He relaxed slightly and kissed back, sliding his arms around Damian's waist.
Damian broke away, resting his forehead on Colin's.
"I think we should take a break from homework." Colin said, smiling at Damian, who returned the smile happily. He slid his hands down Colin's chest, letting them rest on his stomach.
"I think so too." Damian said, resuming the kiss. Colin retracted his arms and wound them around Damian's neck, pulling him closer. Damian shifted on his knees, pushing Colin back onto the mattress gently.
The mattress creaked slightly under their weight. A small groan escaped Damian which sent a shiver down Colin's spine. He smiled slightly as he felt Damian's weight on him and could taste his lips on his and felt their hearts beat loudly in their chests.
