Chpt.22

"Let it go! Let it go! Can't hold it back anymore! Let it go! Let it go! Turn away and slam the doors!" Livy sang as she and Damian set up the blanket they were going to sit on for their picnic.

"We just finished watching the movie, and you're already singing songs from it." Damian sighed. Livy pouted a bit at what Damian said as she continued to straighten out the blanket.

"What? That was a good song." Livy stated, and Damian just shrugged, not caring much for Disney music. However, he was happy that Livy appeared to be doing better than before, the light back in her eyes.

"Here." Damian passed her a sandwich and Livy grasped it happily.

"Thanks Damian." Damian pulled out his own sandwich and the two ate on the blanket, letting silence fall and just reveling in the quiet.

Once finished with the sandwiches, Damian pulled a strawberry out of the bag.

"Open up." He smirked, and Livy's face flushed a bit from how smooth and seductive Damian's voice changed.

"W-what?" she stuttered, and Damian chuckled at how flustered she was, then cupped her face.

"I said, open up." Damian brought the strawberry up and gently pressed it to her lips. This was new for Livy, never having been fed like this before.

Timidly, Livy opened her mouth, letting Damian place majority of the strawberry in her mouth for her to bite.

Once she ate the strawberry, she reached into the bag and pulled out another one.

"You're turn." She giggled, hoping that her face wasn't red still. However, when she fed Damian, he wasn't as nervous as she was. He opened his mouth, letting Livy view as his tongue slid over the strawberry and bit into it, humming as he did.

This only resulted in Livy's face turning red, and Damian chuckled.

They continued feeding each other, Livy getting used to the actions while Damian continued to tease Livy as he ate, including nipping lightly at her fingers when he went to bite into the strawberry.

When they got to the last berry, Damian quickly took the stem off, then held it up to Livy.

"We can split it." he smirked as he placed on half into his mouth, letting the other half peak out from his lips.

Livy leaned in and their lips brushed against one another as they bite into the berry.

"I never knew that eating strawberries could be that fun." Livy smiled.

"And we haven't even had dessert yet." Damian smirked, then pulled out the box of cupcakes he had gotten.

"Those look good." Livy hummed, staring at the white, blue, and green frosting. The two picked up a cupcake and went to feed each other, but when they did so, the frosting smudged against their noses.

Damian went cross-eyed, staring at the green smudge on his face while Livy giggled, knowing that she had a red smudge on her nose to match Damian's.

Livy reached into the cupcake box pulling out a white cup cake and dipping her finger into the frosting. She then moved her fingers to Damian's face and started to smudge the white on his face.

"What are you doing?"

"Making a white daisy on your nose. The green looks like a stem." Livy explained as if it were obvious. "aw, I got some of this icing left over. Damian, can you lick the rest of it off?" Livy smirked, holding her finger up to Damian. Her cheeks were a light red, trying not to blush at her own teasing.

"This is incredibly lewd." Damian stated, but he wasn't slapping her hand away.

"What? You were practically French kissing the strawberries I fed you but you can't do th-" Livy let the sentence die as she felt Damian's tongue run up and down her finger, cleaning it of any icing. Again, Livy blushed.

"You're cute." Damian chuckled once he was done. "Trying to act all sexy for me but blushing at every little thing." Damian then stuck his fingers in the icing and drew a bit on Livy's face with it, then held his hand out.

"Care to return the favor?" Livy did so, which made Damian's face redden from the thorough job she was giving it.

"Good?" she questioned, and Damian whispered,

"Great." The two then continued with the cupcake icing shenanigans, playing with the icing, sucking it off each other's fingers, then eating the cake part.

Again, Damian started nipping at Livy's fingers as he cleaned them, causing the girl to blush more.

"You like using your teeth?" Livy questioned and Damian chuckled.

"I suppose I do." With that he leaned in and nipped her nose gently. When Livy looked at him with shock he smirked and stated, "You had something on your nose."

Livy leaned over and licked his nose.

"You too."

The two stared at each other for a moment, then simultaneously started to laugh. Damian's was soft but joyful while Livy's was boisterous and loud.

After their laughing fit, the two of them found themselves lying on the picnic blanket with their fingers entwined with each other's, staring up at the sky.

Each of them were breathing in this moment. A moment full of humor, romanticism, and teenaged joys. A moment that was rare with them. A park in Gotham would hardly be so safe as to sit to eat a picnic. It was hard to have a good humor at the end of the day after being beaten by some goons and getting into a building too late, seeing dead corpses at the foot of a deranged man. It was difficult to be romantic while stitching up wounds on each other.

All things normal teens could do, Livy and Damian were having a heyday drinking it in. Because at that same time next week, Livy might be in Argentina with her father, working a case involving illegal human trafficking while Damian would spend his nights in the glorious shithole known as Gotham city, dealing with insane murderers.

The two continued to lay, looking up at the sky until Livy whispered,

"Hey, Damian?" Damian looked over at her and she noticed the morose look on his face. He was thinking of the future, when they would be apart. Livy gave him a small smile.

"Do you wanna build a snow man?" she sung in a goofy kids voice. Livy was expecting him to role his eyes while mentioning how Frozen was possibly one of the worst movies he could have seen with her, due to her singing the songs from it all day. However, Damian's grip on her hand tightened as he brought it up to his mouth, kissing it softly.

"Yes, I want to build a snowman." Damian sung/spoke back, then kissed Livy on the cheek.

"Can we continue to just lay here? I mean, we picked a fairly secluded part of the park, so I don't think we'll be kicked out for loitering." Livy stated, and Damian nodded.

"We can stay here for as long as you want." He whispered, but then frowned, reviewing the sentence in his head.

Well, not actually for as long as we want. He thought, but then grabbed Livy and pulled her closer to him.

"Don't frown Damian." Livy whispered, poking her finger at his lips. "Please?" Damian brought a small smile up to his face and kissed Livy. He couldn't help but think,

God, I wish this day could last forever.

Little did he know, Livy was thinking the same thing.
