I wanna write this one off story, if enough people like it, Iâll consider making a more fleshed out version
CW: near death experience
Damian and Serena arrive home very late one night. Both were exhausted from working but were happy to finally be home and relax.
âOh god I thought work would never end. Thank god it didâ - Damian
âYou said it, not meâ - Serena
A few seconds later they hear a light whimper coming from the pantry and think itâs a rat. Serena, not wanting to deal with a rodent, grabs a shoe and is ready to kill it.
âI swear to god, I am not in the mood for this shi-â - Serena
As Serena enters the pantry, she stops and sees a small little girl, no older than 7 years old, and no bigger than her pinkie. Her body is caught in a wire thatâs tangled several parts of her. Her left arm is stretching, her chest is wrapper, and her neck is being constricted. Sheâs crying as she notices Serena looking at her. The borrower knows sheâs dead no matter what, either sheâll suffocate or the giant staring her down will crush her. Despite this she reaches her right arm out, and with what little air she has says
âh-helpâ - borrower girl
âDAMIAN GRAB THE SCISSORS NOW, HURRY!â - Serena
Without a second thought Serena screams for Damian to grab the scissors as she drops the shoe and grabs the borrower, she lifts her up a bit which causes most of the wire to loosen but itâs still suffocating her, Serena tries with her might to undo the wire as best as she can to no avail, 10 second later, damian comes rushing in with the scissors in hand.
âIâm here whatâs happeningâ - Damian
âThe wire is wrapped around her neck, she canât breathe, cut it, hurryâ - Serena
The girl sees damian come in with scissors and doesnât know whatâs going on, as this is happening she begins to slip, it becomes harder and harder for her to fight. Damian is rushing to cut the wire, and a couple of seconds later, the wire completely slacks and comes off her neck. Without a second of hesitation, she takes in the biggest breathe of air she ever took. She starts to cough after finally being able to breathe again.
âDarling are you alright, itâs okay, just breathe, youâre safe nowâ - Serena
Breathing was all she was doing, she completely forgot about the fact 2 enormous figures were staring over her.
âHere, hold still sweetheart, I promise to be gentleâ - Damian
Damian starts cutting the rest of the wire on her body, freeing her arm and chest from their tight grasp. After she was freed she was going to thank them, before remembering the stories she was told about how dangerous humans are. Her happiness turns to fear as she begins to beg.
âI-iâm sorry, I didnât mean to steal from you, i⌠i was just taking some food to survive, iâm sorry, i-i promise ill leave and never come back if you let me go, j-just please donât kill meâ - girl
Damian and Serena looks at each other with concern. They just saved this girlâs life, so why was she begging? Then they remembered that some of the food they argued about each other eating was actually the girl. She took the last cookie, she opened the new box of cereal, it was all her. They both looked at each other again and knew what to say.
âSweetheart, can you look at us? Itâs okay, weâre not mad at you in the slightestâ - Serena
âYou needed the food to survive, we would never be mad at someone like you just trying to surviveâ - Damian
âB-but all those fights, they were because of me, so you hate me rightâ - girl
âNo no no, we were mad because we had rules set for each other, and we thought they were being broken by usâ - Serena
âYou had no idea about anything, you were just doing the most you could to survive, weâre not mad, we forgive you, and if you ever need any food, please, just take it, itâs for the betterâ - Damain
The girl was so suprised, she didnât even know why they were being nice, but they were. She always to hear from other borrowers how cruel humans were, but these 2 were kind and gentle.
âT-thank you, m-may i go back home now?â - girl
âOf course, where do you live?â - serena
âI can show you, if you put me downâ - girl
Serena does as she asks and put the girl onto the floor. She looks back up and them and is in awe over the size difference, to her, they were skyscrapers. She proceeded to walk out of the pantry and head to the living room. She gets on all fours and is about to crawl under the couch, before she can, Damian gently places his hand over her to stop her.
âCan you wait over there for one secondâ - damian
Damian points to the little table next to the couch to which she agrees. She walks over to it and sits down. She them gets to watch in awe and Damian and Serena move the couch from the wall. To see such grand power from them mesmerized her for a second. They then notice a hole in the wall behind where the couch used to be.
âHey, whatâs this?â - Damian
The girl sees him approaching and she starts to walk over to it as well.
âThis- this is my home, itâs where i liveâ - girl
âHow long have you lived there?â - serena
âI donât know, iâve been here since i was a babyâ - girl
âWhere are your parents?â - Damian
â⌠gone, I donât know where or why but all i can remember is⌠one day they left me⌠alone, foreverâ - girl
Damian and Serena became sad after hearing her story. They wanted to help the girl as much as they could.
âWell, I should get going, byeâ - girl
Before she could enter the hole, Damian covers it with his hand, blocking the entrance completely and scaring the girl for a second. She was wondering what she did wrong, did she make a mistake telling them where she lived? Was it all a ploy to make her drop her guard and leaver her vulnerable? She was thinking of the worst until he spoke
âI-instead of going back, would you rather stay outside the wall from now on?â - Damian
âW-what do you mean?â - girl
âI think he means, would you like to live with us, you donât ever have to go back into the wall and hide, you can stay out here, youâll have toys, and games, and stuffed animals. Weâll eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner together and⌠and you wonât have to ever be alone again.â - Serena
The girl heard that last sentence and was mesmerized once again. Never being alone anymore? It would be amazing for her, sheâd never have to worry about anything. But she was also concerned about them and what they would do to her.
âM-maybe? I need some time to think about it⌠m-may i think about it?â - girl
âOf course, take as much time as you need, weâll be right here for youâ - Damian
Damian lifts his hand to re-open the entrance to her home, before she enters, she is asked one last thing by Serena
âSweetie, before you go, whatâs your name?â - Serena
âOh, i⌠I donât have one, my mom and dad didnât want me so.. they never botheredâ - girl
âOh dear, iâm so sorry to hearâ - Serena
âIt⌠itâs okay, iâll be fine, i-iâm going to bed now, goodnightâ - girl
âGoodnightâ - Damian and Serena
Over the course of the week, the girl came out to see Damian and Serena. She would often do things with them. Serena did her hair, bathed, and played with her. Damian cooked with her, and would often answer questions she had.
âI wonder how sheâs doingâ - Damian
âMe too, i want to get close but i know sheâs scaredâ - Serena
âYeah, weâre titans compared to her, thatâd be frightening to anyoneâ - Damian
âNot only that, i think sheâs scared because sheâs been abandoned, and doesnât want to be left alone againâ - Serena
âYouâre right, i just wish she would give us one chanceâ - Damian
They both sighed as they attempted to fall asleep. Not to long after trying to go to bed, they are both awoken by their bedroom door opening.
They both shoot up and look at the floor and see the girl standing in the doorway, holding a makeshift stuffed animal and an old piece of a towel used as a blanket
âOh sweetie, itâs you, whatâs wrongâ - Serena
âI⌠i heard scary noises outside and⌠I couldnât sleep, I, i was wondering if- ifâŚâ - girl
âOf course you can sleep with us, here, iâll come and pick you up and bring you to the bedâ - Damian
âN-no, iâm good- I⌠I mean i wanted to ask if i can sleep with you, b-but i can get onto the bed myselfâ - girl
The girl runs up to the edge of the bed and grabs the big blanket and climbs it, Serena and Damian get off the bed to make sure she climbs the blanket safely, cheering her on in the process, once she reaches the top, they congratulate her go back to lying on the bed. The girl runs over to meet them, with the blanket and stuffed animal still with her.
âYou were so strong climbing the blanky sweetheart, iâm so proud of youâ - Serena
âMe too, youâre such a strong girlâ - Damian
She lays down on the bed with them, but she canât fall asleep so she asks them a few questions
âUmm, do you remember⌠how you said I can live outside of the wallâ - girl
âYeah, whatâs upâ - Damian
âI⌠i think i want to live outside themâ - girl
âReally thatâs amazing sweetheart, iâm so happy to hearâ - Damian
âT-thank you⌠umm i have another questionâ - girl
âWhat is if sweetie?â - Serena
âCan⌠may i call you⌠my mommy and daddy?â - girl
Both Serena and Damianâs faces light up with joy hearing this and before the girl can attempt to take back what she said.
âYes yes yes yes yes of couse you can baby, you never had to ask usâ - Serena
âWeâd be more then happy to be your mommy and daddyâ - Damian
Serena brings the girl in for a hug and damian hugs them both. Serena lets go of Serena and hugs Damian back, pinning the girl between the 2 of them, as sheâs stuck between them, their body heat surrounds her and she enjoys every second. She takes in the moment of being warmed by them both. They then let go and she falls back to the bed with a smile from ear to ear.
âSorry baby we didnât mean to squish you. Are you okay?â - Serena
âYeah iâm fine, being squished felt so good and warmâ - girl
âThatâs nice, but if weâre going to be your mommy and daddy, youâll need to have a name.â - Damian
Damian and Serena start talking about names they could name the girl, then she step in with her idea.
âI really like that one dogâs nameâ - girl
âDog, what dog?â - Damian
âThe one from that one game, sheâs your assistant and talk like me mo me me mo maoâ - girl
âOh, you mean Isabelle?â - Serena
âYeah, I like that nameâ - girl
âWell if thatâs the caseâ - Damian
âWe love you very much Isabelleâ - Serena
âThank you, I love you tooâ - Isabelle
Damian proceeds to grab Isabelle and places her on his chest, Serene then comes close to hold Damian and lay her head on his chest. Serena pulls the blanket up so it covers all but her head.
âIs that warm enough for you baby?â - Serena
â*yawn* yes, thank you, I love you mommy and daddyâ - isabelle
âWe love you too Isabelle, goodnightâ - Damian
âNight nightâ - isabelle
