People seem to like the idea of Damian being the more affectionate due to Talia's influence but what if he's pretty much oblivious to the fact to it and pretty much thinks it's normal to be this affectionate/down bad with someone.
So most of the batfam is just....not used to it.
Damian painting Jon's face, smiling with complete satisfaction that he was able to replicate how Jon's eyes light up like the sunshine that he is:
Tim who doesn't know whether to look disgusted or concerned: ...this is the fourth time you drew him just this month.
Damian: it's better than trying to clone him for years.
Damian just a day after they officially got together: me and Jon are dating
Damian: I've already asked the Kents, I'm gonna propose once we finish college.
Dick, who is a known womanizer and has a complicated love life (pining for his best friend): ...
Jason: it's been hours, why are you still stuck at that chapter?
Damian: it reminds me too much of Jon.
Jason: so what you just stared at it and imagine it was him for the pass hour?
Jason who already knows the book has a tragic ending: ...better prepare yourself then.
Barbara: care to explain why your feed is filled with blade smithing tutorials?
Damian: I was trying to make a promise ring for Jon.
Damian: and I'm trying to make my own sword.
Steph, texting the group chat: me and cass just saw Damian and Jon on a date
Steph: Damian is smiling like an idiot while Jon is trying to win him a stuffed toy
Steph sends a blurry picture of Jon holding a stuffed penguin plush and Damian leaning into his face: OH MY GOD DID HE JUST KISSED HIM?????????
Cass: love, this is the work gc.
Damian: I appreciate the help Thomas.
Duke: metropolis isn't really that far anyways, plus Bruce said you're not driving with that broken Arm. Do you have plans with Jon today?
Damian: no, I just miss him.
Duke, back at the manor: and that's what he said before Superboy just flew in and Picked him up from where he's standing.
Meanwhile Jon is someone who COULD actually match his freak, but he's more aware of it than Damian. Will he tell him? Eventually but not now, it'll be a story he'll tell their kids someday.
