Name a purer ship on TV. I'll wait.

OoOoOo

The two twelve year olds sat in silence as they patiently awaited for Commissioner Gordon and Lois Lane to return, hopefully with good news. Neither one of them trusted themselves to speak coherently, too overwhelmed by the fear that gripped them both.

"Are you feeling any better?" asked Damian, regarding the girl across from him with concerned eyes. She had used a lot of her energy trying to tap into the Upside Down and he was partially afraid that she was going to faint on him.

Raven shrugged, unconsciously fingering the black bird tatoo on her wrist (hence her name). "What is... 'pudding?'" she asked. She had overheard Garfield mention to Jaime that it would help her "refuel," as he so put it, and she was curious as to what it was.

Damian pursed his lips. "It's this cold, chocolate goo you eat with a spoon," he finally answered. "Do not worry, when this is finally over you won't have to resort to enduring unhealthy junk and measly leftovers like an insipid animal anymore."

Raven looked at him, wondering to what he meant.

"Alfred is quite the cook," Damian continued. "He can make you whatever you want." Honestly, he was surprised the butler didn't already know about Raven. It was almost impossible to get anything by him which really left him puzzled. Knowing the butler, he probabaly did know.

This peaked Raven's interest. "Eggos?" she asked immediately, searching for confirmation.

Damian resisted the urge to roll his eyes; the girl was obsessed. "Alfred would have my head if I let you eat nothing but Eggos," he told her. "Rae, he'd make you real food." He paused, not really knowing what to say next. "I had the thought that when Jon came back and you were not a secret anymore that Father would allow you to move into one of the guest rooms." He felt bad for having kept her in the basement for so long.

Raven's amethyst eyes darted to his own. "I'd have a... bed?"

Damian nodded. "My point is, he'd take care of you. He'd be like your father, Alfred could be like your grandfather, and Celeste would be like your sister."

"Would you be like my brother?"

Damian was visibly taken back by this question. "What? No, absolutely not." She was definitely not his sister. His feelings for her were insanely different than the ones he felt for Celeste.

Raven cocked an eyebrow. "Why no?" she asked innocently.

"Because..." Damian took a deep breath. "Because it's different." He hoped she would just leave it be. He honestly couldn't even begin to explain this in the little amount of time they had.

"Why?"

Damn it. "Never mind. I supposed it wouldn't be. It was idiotic of me."

"Damian." Raven's voice held a sort of sternness to it.

"Yes?"

She leaned in close. "Friends don't lie." Her tone left no room for argument.

Damian sighed again. "I was thinking..." But no matter how hard he tried, the words wouldn't come out right. He always got like this around her; awkward, emotional. Though, he wasn't sure it was a bad thing. "Maybe we could go to the Winter Ball together...?"

"Winter... ball?" Raven repeated.

Damian nodded. "It's a pointless school dance that they hold here and you dance to music. I've never been, but I know you're not supposed to go with your sister."

"No?"

"I mean... you can, but it'd be really weird," said Damian. "You go to school dances with... someone that you feel affection for."

Raven looked very confused at this point, probably due to his rambling. "A friend?"

"Not a friend," Damian said quickly. There was no way he was letting that happen. "A... someone like..." You know what? Screw it.

He leaned forward and presses his lips to hers. It was a short, chaste kiss, but a kiss nonetheless. When he pulled away, he could only stare at her. His heart was racing and his skin felt like it was on fire, but all in a good way.

She was staring at him as well, her eyes wide. Of course, he needed to explain to her what this meant, but before he got the chance he spotted headlights pull up to the school. It would have to wait.

"It's Celeste," he breathed, standing up. "Hold on, I'll be right back. Stay here." He quickly ran to meet his sister, vowing that he would make his feelings clear to Raven upon his return.

Unfortunately, he would never get that chance.

OoOoOo
