Damijon Christmas Present!
FOR THE DAMIJON SECRET SANTA I HAD⌠@nymph-patt
hi love! i havenât written in a fat minute and iâm a little rusty so bear with me hehehe. i hope you have a wonderful holiday season! all my love -elle!
Iâve got a fluff christmas fic and a lil headcanon for ya!Â
âYou canât plan Christmas like a battle strategy Dami,â Jon groaned as Damian wheeled a whiteboard into their living room. âActually, Iâve found it to be quite similar. Pay attention Kent, I know sticking to the plan has never been your strong suit.â Damianâs foot was tapping like crazy, Jon noted his clear anxiousness- needless to say Damian wasnât the holiday type. Makes it a million times harder when itâs your first Christmas together as a couple.Â
Jon gasped as Damian flipped the whiteboard like a school teacher, revealing meticulously drawn out plans mapped in expo-marker. âWe start with my family, we stay until Jason is ten shots in, after that Christmas always becomes a nightmare so we head out. With your super speed itâll be only an 14 minutes 37 second trip to your family where we stay for the majority of the night. At the end you rush us back to Gotham to console Dick after Bat-Christmas fails as always. Our emergency word is tyrannosaurus should anything go wrong at the drop we flee. Any questions?â Damian was flying through the plans, pointing at bulleted lists and analyzing possible flaws.Â
Jon took a deep breath, a smile creeping over his face. âI didnât think youâd care so much about our first Christmas together with our families, itâs kind of sweet.â Lazily he reached for Damian, clinging to his back while Dami shook his head, mumbling as he edited the board. âNot really our first Christmas Kent and I definitely do not care about family tt,â Jon didnât reply, he just smiled into the crook of Damianâs neck.
âOur suits bring down our aerodynamic potential so Iâve taken the liberty of adjusting our arrival time to 15 minutes 43 seconds. Does that sound accurate?â Jon hummed in response as he straightened Damianâs tie, it was already perfect but heâd take any excuse to get closer to Dami. âReady my love?â Jon glanced at Damian who was checking his watch. âYes.â Damian responded, absent mindedly clasping Jonâs hand as they made their way to the mansion.Â
âDAMIâS HERE!â Stephâs screech announced. She was hanging off the banister as she stole popcorn pieces from the massive tree. âWonderful- Miss Brown I must ask you donât eat the decorations tonight, have some festivity,â Alfred shook his head as he made his way to Jon. âMagnificent of you to join us Master Kent, I assume you will also be heading to your familyâs festivities as well?â Jon opened his mouth but Damian answered first. âYes Pennyworth, we plan on just saying for hors devours,â his curt reply brought a knowing smile to Alfredâs lips. âAlways planned with you Master Damian,â his accent was playful making Jon chuckle.Â
Dick descended the stairs, Damian groaned at his bright green and red striped suit, Jon couldnât help but laugh either. âHellllooo super boyfriends! Are-You-Readyyyy-For-Tonight!â Dick practically skipped towards the two, pulling them into a tight hug before Damian could slip away. âWe wonât be long Grayson we must attend the Kent family Christmas too,â Damian nodded curtly, shifting closer to Jon who got the message and moved forward into the living room.Â
âActually, where are all the bat-siblings? And where did Steph run off to?â Jon noticed no one was around but Alfred who was preparing something delicious in the kitchen. Dick began chuckling, a devilish smile spreading across his face. âOh, everyone is down in the batcave. Câmon.â Damian looked taken-aback but Jon was never to shocked by batfamily-antics.Â
The two followed Dick to the secret door. âNow, we heard from a little super birdy [Dick winked at Jon who was now openly grinning] that you were a little nervous about having to deal with two Christmasâ this year, so we felt itâd be easier for everyone if we just-â Dick popped open the door to a winter wonderland of a batcave. A large table was put out, filled with their family members. âMerry Christmas!â A chorus of laughter broke out as Damianâs jaw dropped.Â
At the table were the batfam, Kents, and even a couple speedsters littered around. All were laughing and smiling at one another. It was the biggest family gathering Jon has seen ever. âNo need for crazy plans my love, just enjoy tonight with everyone,â Jon whispered to Damian as he scanned the room. âI- How did you- Thank you,â Damian settled on the last words of praise for the wonderful man who made every single day better. âNo need for thanks, Iâd get you the world if you wanted it, but for now letâs have a very Merry Christmas!â Jon took off towards his family and Damian would help but feel the corners of his lips betray him with a smile. Heart full he made his way down to his family.
âJASON DO NOT FLIRT WITH KARA SHEâS OFF LIMITS!â
âWALLY DID YOU EAT ALL THE COOKIES ALREADY?â
âBRUCE, CLARK, STOP FIGHTING OVER WHO GOT THE OTHER THE BETTER GIFT. YOUâRE BOTH RICH!â
Okay so I havenât absorbed much batfam content at all for weeks so hopefully my spin on the HC is still cute : )
I donât think Jon gets enough credit for how observant he is.Â
Too often Jon is forgotten, the second super boy, the sidekick, the boyfriend, the man who left everyone for space.Â
Itâs true, technically. But Jon is so keen at reading those around him, especially the un-readable Damian Wayne that I would argue itâs a super skill in of itself.
He gets it from his mother you know, Superman was always a little dense, but, though no one believes it, he always had Lois to help him out. Too often the quieter, smarter, more analytical side gets forgotten and thatâs no different with Jon. His friends donât see the way he checks up on them, taking in their facial expressions and reading them to know the right thing to say at the right time to help them out. They donât realize he spent whole days memorizing their heart beats and their breaths to know if theyâre ever in peril. And they donât see the way he looks at them so fondly, beyond grateful theyâre in his life.
She saw it when Jon met Damian.Â
A young boy mesmerized by the wittiness and strength in the human boy. The greatest irony, the Superboy more human than the murder weapon now called âRobinâ. But the two hit it off almost instantly- though Damian may not agree to that last bit.Â
Lois knew Jon adored Damian, every deep red was âRobin Redâ every Wayne Ent. building they walked past brought up stories of his adventures with the youngest Wayne, every Justice League trip meant begging for his dad to send him to Gotham for the weekend while he was out. He was young, but Lois knew a pair of soulmates when she saw them.Â
There were these nights when they were teens. Jon would burst out of bed and rush to his mother. He never needed to say anything. There was this look in his eyes, Damian needs me. âGoâ sheâd always whisper, pressing a quick kiss to his forehead thinking back to when Clark would do the same for her.Â
She remembers the frantic December weeks Jon spent toiling on Damianâs Christmas gift. âWhat do I give a trillionaire who has the world?â Jon would whine and mope around the house for any semblance of inspiration.Â
Your heart Jon, all he wants is your love. Lois always thought to herself, she was quite aware of the two boyâs growing infatuation with each other, her husband was always slower in the âfeelingsâ department and if he was slow she imagined Bruce was a damn sloth. So, she let the boys feel safe in her presence. Damian slowly spent more time at her home when Clark was out, she grew to have a sort of friendship with Damian. Heâd comment on whatever news article she recently wrote, endure a three second reply and be on his way. She was always astounded at how up to date he was on all her pieces.Â
Lois was always proud of the love Jon showed Damian. Sheâd be the first to tell Bruce he needed to hug his damn kids, but there was a special kind of caring Jon held only for Damian. A love woven only for the two of them. Like an invisible string linking them no matter where in the universe the other was at, there was a friendship, a kindness, a passion, a love.
Overtime, Jonâs analysis of Damian led him to his own feelings. And over an even longer period of time Damian discovered his own. Jon never stopped caring, he never stopped worrying, and he never stopped loving.Â
Those, are the parts of Superman that Damian, and the world, need most.Â
