Chpt.39

"Let's just have a lazy day." Livy sighed in content as Damian ran his fingers through her hair. Damian snuck into Livy's apartment in the middle of the night to check up on her while her father was away, but he was so exhausted he ended up passing out in her bed while fully in costume. Now here he was, cuddling with Livy and running his fingers through her slightly knotted blond hair.

"Mmm? What would a lazy day entail?" he questioned while yawning.

"Cuddles. Netflix. Junk food. A possible make out session if you get a bout of energy. Stuff like that." Livy shrugged and Damian chuckled at that.

"Can we skip to the make out session now?" Damian inquired, nipping at Livy's ear.

"But I'm still tiiiiiiiiiiiiiired. I need energy to kiss that handsome face of yours." Livy mumbled into her pillow and Damian just shook his head.

"I'm sure if I got things started, you'd wake up a bit more." Damian smirked, moving his lips to brush against Livy's neck, and he could see her shudder from the feeling.

"Good?" he questioned, breath coasting over her ear.

"You'd be doing most of the work until I started to wake up more." Livy grumbled and Damian just smirked, knowing that he had just won.

"I don't mind. It won't take long for you to get some energy." He chuckled, then rammed his lips into Livy's, exploring her mouth while all the while rubbing his fingers up and down her back.

He was right about it not taking long because almost immediately Livy had Damian on his back as she sat on him and continued the make out session.

Then the unexpected happened.

Someone knocked on the bedroom door.

Damian and Livy paused, holding their breaths and praying that it was just their imaginations.

That can't be Jason. He'd call me if he was going to come back. She thought. Then a male voice from the other side of the door stated,

"Livy, Dami, I know you're in there, so I'm giving you to the count of three. You two better have your clothes on." The voice chuckled.

"DAMMIT GRAYSON!" Damian shouted.

"One… Two…" Livy quickly rolled off of Damian while the boy rolled out of the bed and onto the floor. Livy threw him a pillow and a blanket so it looked like he'd been situated there for a good period of time.

"Three!" Dick opened the door and saw Livy sitting on her bed under the covers, but she clearly had clothes on. Meanwhile Damian was on the floor, still in his Robin suit except for his mask, gloves, belt, and boots.

However, this didn't fool Dick. He could tell what was going on before he interrupted based on the pair's red lips and flushed faces.

"Why the hell are you here, Grayson?" Damian growled, all signs of his earlier tenderness gone from his voice.

"Me? Well, you didn't come back and I know that you texted me saying you'd drop by Livy's place, but Bruce got worried so I said that I'd double check on you. I think he also wanted to make sure that you two weren't doing anything too inappropriate with each other." Dick smirked, and Damian glowered at the older man.

"Well, rest assured that nothing inappropriate was going on." Livy stated.

"So leave. Tell father that Livy and I are currently on a date. A completely non-inappropriate date." Damian said, still glaring at his 'older brother'

"Nothing inappropriate was going on?" Dick questioned, raising an eyebrow at Livy.

"Of course not. Damian slept on the ground last night. He knows his boundaries." Livy lied through her teeth.

"Oh really?" Dick questioned, getting closer to Livy. "Then why is it that there seems to be some saliva on your ear. Almost like someone was biting it. Not to mention that both of your lips seem very red, almost like you two were going at it pretty hard." Dick smirked, then sat down next to Livy on the bed.

"As a responsible adult, I will be the chaperone of this non-inappropriate date." He declared and Damian groaned.

"Grayson-"

"If you don't like the idea, we can leave." Dick said matter-of-factly, which caused Damian to pause. He didn't get to see Livy all that much and he cherished the time spent with her.

"Fine." he grumbled, and Dick perked up at the younger boy acquiescing. He just loved it when things worked out his way.

"So, what did the two of you have planned for the day?" Dick inquired.

"We planned for this to be a lazy day filled with Netflix and junk food." Livy informed, leaving out the make out session part, and Dick jittered with excitement.

"Ooh! Sounds like fun!" Dick exclaimed and Damian was practicing as much self-control as possible to not rip Dick's head off.

"Why can't she just say 'I love you' for Christ's sake!?" Livy exclaimed as she reached into the pizza box for another slice.

"And why can't she see that he loves her! Why is this show so complicated!?" Damian shouted at the screen.

After bickering, they ended up watching an Anime called 'Say I Love You' on Netflix.

Meanwhile, Dick was watching the show with a pile of tissues surrounding him.

"Oh my god! J-Just say I love you!" Dick bawled and Livy patted the grown man's back as he sobbed.

"I vote that we watch Ouran High School Host Club next." Livy smirked once they finished watching the show.

"No, I think we should watch Attack on Titan." Damian stated. "I feel like we need some gore after all of that heart wrenching fluff."

"Then let's watch Baccano if you want gore. I've already watched Attack on Titan and cried during that too." Livy frowned and Damian nodded.

"Fine, Baccano it is. Grayson, do you like the decision?" Damian inquired, but Dick just stared at him and Livy.

"Uh… Dick?" Livy questioned.

"Have you two ever said that you loved each other?" he asked very suddenly and Livy and Damian froze to stare at the older man.

"Why do you care?" Damian questioned. In all honesty, the two never thought much about it. But they did say 'I love you.' They have uttered the phrase so often that they almost forgot that they did say it.

"Just… what if something happened… and you two never said it to each other." Dick frowned and Livy rolled her eyes.

"Calm down Dick. We do say it. Now, does Baccano sound good to you? It's got prohibition and 1930's mobsters in it." Livy grinned and Dick slowly nodded.

"Yeah… yeah that sounds good. I gotta got to the bathroom for a sec so don't start it yet." Dick stated as he stood from his spot and quickly made his way to the bathroom.

"Hey, Damian?" Livy questioned, and the boy looked over at her and quickly found a brief kiss being placed on his lips.

"I love you." She whispered and Damian smiled.

"I love you too."
