Ok I know I took a while to ride this but anyway, hope you'll like it. And I'm sorry, I had to change Cass personality because it wasn't working with the storyline.

For a reason, Damian didn't wake up at 4 o'clock like he used to. If it was from him, he wouldn't have waked up at all. It's is dog, Titus, who woke him at 7 o'clock, 1 hour before his school started. Damian took all his time; he didn't want to see Stephanie today. Not after what happened yesterday in the dressing room. She was supposed to leave the manor early this morning because she had to shop with Cassandra, again. He was mad at her, because it was the first time he got rejected. Damian took all his time to shower and to dress up. He decided that it would be more aware to take something fast to eat. As he walked toward the kitchen, he heard 3 familiar voices; Bruce's, Alfred's and… Stephanie's. Even though he took all his time to not see her, he will have to, sooner or later. After all, they live in the same house and they patrol together most of the time. He quickly walked into the room and walked toward the refrigerator. He did saw the food that Alfred had cooked, all kind of food that took a lot of time to eat. But faster he'd eat, faster he would leave the room.

''Master Damian, it is nice to see you are still alive,'' said the butler.

Damian grabbed some orange juice, some milk and a box of corn flakes. He quickly prepared his breakfast, ignoring all the questions his father and Alfred asked about his shopping séance with Steph and Cass. He pulled a chair and sat on it. He started to eat, without looking at the other person in the room. Without looking at Stephanie.

''It will seem that you are going to be late,'' added Alfred. ''Would you like me to give you a ride?''

''No. I will drive,'' responded Damian putting his dishes in the sink. His father looked somehow pleased by his answer.

''Since you already are going to be late, it wouldn't be that bad if you gave Stephanie a lift to Cassandra's house,'' said Bruce with an evil smile.

Stephanie's eyes opened wildly, just like Damian's.

''He doesn't have to! I mean, I can drive and go by my own Bruce,'' said the blonde girl.

"Yes you could, but it would be a waste of time. Damian will give you a ride"

Stephanie wanted to argue but she knew Bruce had already made his mind, plus he was giving her one of his famous batglare. Damian stood up and left the room followed by Steph who was still in her pajamas.

"Have a good day, Master Damian and Miss Stephanie," yelled Alfred.

Damian went to his room to take his car keys and his schoolbag. When he got back in the living room he found an all dressed up Stephanie. She looked beautiful, even when she didn't try to. Damian cut himself staring at her. He knew he shouldn't, because it would make things even more awkward than they already were, but he couldn't help it. She had putted her beautiful blonde hair in a high ponytail. She was wearing a purple shirt with a pair of black skinny jeans. She was holding a purple coat and her purse. She didn't wear any make-up, she never needed it.

"Can we go," asked Stephanie as she putted her coat on.

Damian shook his head and putted on his black coat.

"Why does he have to look like this? Like a model," thought Stephanie.

Damian pulled the door open in front of Stephanie to let her pass. They walked toward the manor garage and spotted Damian's favorite car (which had become his). He unlocked it and opened the car's door for the blonde girl. She gave him a smile as she tied her security belt on He closed the door behind her and sat in the driver's sit. Cassandra's house was about 30 minutes from the manor. They already had made almost the half of the road when he decided that it would be less awkward to talk.

"So… what are you going to do with Cassandra?"

Stephanie looked at him, a little surprised that he would talk to her after what she had said yesterday.

"Cass and I are going to buy stuff for the baby," finally said Stephanie.

"Good," the teenager said.

After all, she was the only one who could help Cassandra. Jason didn't know what to buy for the little baby inside of his girlfriend's belly. Beside, Steph knew what to buy because she had already been there, when she was fifteen.

"Mm. How are they doing?" asked Damian.

"Cass and the baby? Well Cass is doing great for a pregnant women and her daughter is growing bigger, so I guess they're doing good"

Damian felt a bit bad. He saw Cassandra yesterday, but he didn't ask her if she was fine or something; he was too busy staring at Stephanie.

"Good," repeated the boy.

There was a moment of silent that made both of them feel awkward. Damian didn't want Stephanie to stop talking. Her voice was like a melody that he wanted to hear over and over.

"How was your date last night," he blurted out. Maybe he should have shut up, because when he looked at Stephanie, she looked like she was about to cry.

"I- I didn't mean to –" started the boy wonder. He didn't have the chance to finish his sentence because a pair of lips shut him up. At that very moment, it was a good thing that they were in traffic.

"I guess the date didn't go well," thought the boy. He did enjoyed the fact that they probably broke up, but he couldn't let his satisfaction out because he would look like a jerk in front of Stephanie ( not that he didn't look like a jerk in front of her, but it was in a different situation).

Stephanie's hands went on Damian's shoulders. Somehow, Damian's hands went on Stephanie's waist, pushing her closer to him. He was surprised, but he couldn't complain. He felt her tongue against his teeth, trying to get a way in his mouth. Her hands lowered to rest on the teenager chest. They stayed like that for a while; it could have been 5 seconds or 5 minutes, all they knew is that they enjoyed the kiss. It wasn't like the one they exchange in the dressing room. This one was deeper, and it felt great. This one was better. That was until Damian remembered what Stephanie had told him after they kissed. He broke the kiss, looked at Stephanie's face (which was a little red). Stephanie opened her eyes to see Damian who was driving. She gave him a confused gaze; isn't that what he wanted?

"W-why," she asked.

Damian rolled his eyes. How come she doesn't know why? She was the one who pushed him away yesterday and now she was the one who kissed him. What was wrong with her?

"What about your boyfriend?"

Stephanie looked at her lap. "We aren't dating anymore"

Yesterday night, when she got to 'Chez Tiffany' she found him flirting with another girl. Even then, she stayed at the restaurant. But during their date, he kept texting someone. When he got to the washroom, she checked his texts. She knew that what she was doing was wrong, but Stephanie had always been of the curious kind. When she read them, she realized that he was texting this girl for a long time, before they were dating. She then realized that he was cheating on her with Hellia, his ex. Gregory was cheating on her. It didn't look like him at all, but we never really know someone right? She left the restaurant, with a note that said: "Tell Hellia I say hi. But for us it's over".

Damian had been pleased by the new, but then, he remembered when she said that he was too young and that she didn't want to.

"What about the fact that I am younger than you? And what happened for you to suddenly want to kiss me?"

Stephanie sighed. She knew that what she had said yesterday was mean. To be honest, she didn't really care about his age. Even if she was almost a decade older. And she didn't care if she had to wait until it would be legal. She lied to him because she just didn't want to break up with Gregory because he was nice (that's what she thought before she found out about Hellia). It's true that some part of her found it weird, because she always saw Damian as her little brother. And the fact that she could have feelings for him made her a bit uncomfortable. But she really wanted to give it a shot, regardless of what people would say or think. But before she could say anything, the car stopped, right in front of Cass' house. She untied her security belt and look at Damian. His face was hard and cold, he looked so disappointed. Disappointed that Stephanie couldn't explain herself. He drove toward his school; it was 8:45 and his school was about 38 minutes from where he was. He was going to miss the first and the second period.

Cassandra Cain and Stephanie Brown were lying on Cass' couch. After a long day of shopping, they were exhausted and their foot was hurting.

"What's wrong?" asked Cass.

"Nothing. Why are you asking," lied the blonde girl turning her face to face her friend.

"You look sad," finally said Cassandra after a long silent. Stephanie knew that she couldn't lie to her. "What happened?"

"Cass, it's a long and boring story. I'll be ok. Let's change subject, how is it going with Jayson?"

"It's going good," quickly responded Cass. "Now tell me what happened"

Stephanie sighed and lifted herself on her elbows.

"You know when you left, yesterday at the mall?"

"Yes I do, and I'm sorry I took this long"

"Oh no it's ok! Anyway, I wanted to try the dress Damian brought me, and I needed someone to zip it. I called you, but he reminded me that you weren't there. At the time, it didn't look that bad to ask the hormonal teenage boy to zip it…"

Stephanie stopped to look at Cassandra's face. She looked like she held her laughter. Stephanie rolled her eyes and sat on the couch, facing the wall that was in front of the couch.

"He took the opportunity to look at my underwear. I know that at that point I should have spotted something weird but I didn't. Anyway, he kinda…"

Cassandra eyes opened wildly.

"Oh god… You didn't like… You know… Did 'it' in the dressing -"

"Oh no! No, no, no, no, no! No, we just kissed. And I mean we.And the worst is that I was aware that he had a crush on me, but I didn't took it seriously"

"Ohhhhhh. Well it's not that bad"

"No but I told him I didn't want to and that he was to young and I said that his father wouldn't approve and that I had a boyfriend, whom I broke up with because he was cheating on me with his ex, but anyway. I acted like a total jerk"

Cass sat on the couch to give Stephanie a hug. It meant a lot, because Cassandra was not of the hugger kind.

"I'm sorry for you"

"No it's not the worst. This morning when he gave me a ride, I kissed him. I KISSED HIM! What is wrong with me, Cass? I keep playing with his feelings, and it's just not fair for him"

Cassandra let go of Stephanie and look at her in the eyes.

"Did you mean what you said to him?"

"No! Of course not. It's just that I never saw him in a romantically way. And I always considered him like a little brother, a handsome little brother I have to say"

Cass stood up and sat on the coffee table in front of Stephanie.

"Here's what you're going to do"

And Cass told Stephanie 10 things she needed to do to be forgiven by Damian.
