Cassandra Cain & Stephanie Brown from DC Comics .

It is strange that I haven’t started drawing some of the batfamily before. It makes me so emotional!

A gift can mean anything but for Steph and Cass they mean a lot.

Day six and this ship is now overflowing with fluff. And there is more to come.

We’re gonna need a bigger boat.

I do not own Batman, DC or any related works.

Day 6: Presents

It was the one year anniversary of Stephanie and Cassandra’s first date was tomorrow.

And like one year before Stephanie was freaking out on what to get her.

“Will you just calm down already.”

And like one year before Kara was here to offer advice and moral support.

“How can I calm down I am the worst girlfriend ever!”

According to Stephanie she was failing in her role a BFF.

They were currently at the Mall looking in various clothing and jewellery shops in an attempt to find a gift for Stephanie’s girlfriend.

Unfortunately everything they had seen wasn’t a suitable gift for Cass, according to Steph.

“I still think that sweater was cute.” Kara muttered as she walked with Steph towards yet another store.

“I just don’t think it suited her.” Stephanie replied as she directed herself and Kara towards yet another store. However this time Kara reached out and grabbed Steph’s arm to stop.

“Hey let’s go for some food first before I have to listen to you complaining about terrible gift ideas for another couple of hours.”  Kara said as she directed Steph towards the food court.

Stephanie was about to object but her stomach then let out a large predatory growl. She sighed but followed Kara towards the smell of food.

A few minutes later both girls were sitting at a table with a veritable feast laid out in front of them. They both dug in, surprised by just how hungry they both were.

“Hey I just realised something.” Stephanie said as she washed down her fries with her chocolate milkshake.

“What?” Kara asked around her burger.

“How come you guys eat normal food but you’re powered by the sun?” Stephanie had been wondering about this for a while now, ever since she witnessed Kara winning the annual Smallville pie-eating contest.

Kara thought about this for a moment before shrugging, “We like to eat.”

“You guys are weird.” Steph said as she shook her head.

“So we’ve been told.” Kara then finishes off her food before sitting back and letting out a very non-ladylike belch. “Have you got any more ideas on what you’re gonna get Cass?”

Steph grumbled something incoherent and propped her head up on her hand. “No. I don’t know what to get her. She has enough money to buy whatever she wants. What could I possibly get her?”

“Something she can’t buy?” For a moment there was silence as Stephanie’s eyes went wide as she got an epiphany. She raised her head to stare at Kara who was finishing off her milkshake.

“You are a fucking genius.”

“I know.” Kara smirked.

“Can you fly me to the L.A. fashion district? I need some supplies.”

“Gimme five minutes, unless you want to see a person vomit while flying.”

Early the next day

Steph made the finishing touches to the gift and sits back to admire her work.

“Looks good,” Kara says as she peers over Steph’s shoulder to look at the gift.

“Thanks.” Steph replies as she picks up the item and places it into the special box she got for it. “And seriously thank-you for all of your help I couldn’t have done it without you.” She gives Kara a big hug, which Kara responds to just as much.

“No problem at all I was happy to help.” Kara says as she pulls away.

“And if you need any advice on what to get Jason I am all ears.” Kara’s eyes grew as wide as saucers as she stared at a now smirking Steph.

“How did you?” Steph has to stop herself from bursting out laughing at Kara’s ‘deer in headlights’ face.

“I’m a detective,” she simply replies before putting the gift in her bag.

Kara shakes her head before narrowing her eyes at Steph.

“If you tell anyone, especially Clark, about this I will kick you to the freaking moon.” Kara growled out.

“I promise to keep your relationship with my girlfriend’s brother a secret.” Steph promised, holding her right hand on her heart and holding her left palm up.

“Good. Have fun at dinner tonight.”

Later that night

Cass and Steph agreed to meet at the fancy restaurant that they had reservations booked for. The Wayne name did come in handy on some days.

Steph was already sitting at the table when Cass came in, dressed in a beautiful red cocktail dress. She waived at Steph when she saw her, who herself was dressed in a lovely green cocktail dress.

Steph got up out of her seat when Cass got close to quickly give the girl a quick kiss and hug.

The pair sat down in their seats and the waiter approached with the wine list. Both women were over 21 so they selected a nice wine. Once poured they toasted in celebration;

“Happy anniversary,” Stephanie said as they clinked their glasses.

“Happy anniversary,” Cass repeated.

They sipped the wine and smiled at each other, both just happy to be together right now.

Steph decided that the time was right and put down her wine glass and lifted her purse.

“I got you a little something.” She said as she lifted the gift-box out, “Just something to show how much you mean to me.”

She handed the box to Cass who quirked her head and gently shook it, causing Steph to chuckle.

“Just open it silly.”

Cass did and the surprise was evident on her face as she opened the box to reveal a golden locket with a brightly polished purple stone in the centre and framed by smaller black stones. The string was a thick leather braid.

Cass lifted it gently and opened it up to reveal a photo of her and Stephanie, but not just any photo. It was the first photo the couple ever took together.

“Do you like it?” Steph asked quietly, as she was obviously apprehensive about the gift.

Cass quickly wiped away a stray tear and looked up, the biggest smile Steph had ever seen on her face.

“I love it.” She said.

“I’m so glad.”

“How did you make it?” Cass asked as she placed the locket around her neck.

“Kara helped melt down the metals and I just used my amazing craft skills.” Steph shrugged.

“You are amazing.” Cass said. She then lifted her own purse and handed Steph another small box. “My gift to you,” she simply says.

Steph lifts it up and opens it to reveal a generic looking key. She pulls it out and looks it over before looking at Cass.

“What’s it for?” She asks, genuinely having no clue.

“It’s a key for my apartment.” Cass says simply.

“Why would you give me a key to your apartment?”

“Because I want it to be our apartment,” Cass states.

Steph’s face mirror Cassandra’s from a moment ago as she stares at the key she is holding. She covers her mouth in shock but Cass can see the smile underneath it.

“Yes.”

“Yes?” Cass asks.

“Yes I will move in with you.” Both girls lean across the table to share a kiss to celebrate another chapter in their life.

The End
