DamiRae OneShots

First Fight (Argument)

It was a cool evening in Jump City, the moon casting its silver glow upon the skyscrapers. In the hidden solitude of Titans Tower, another storm was about to brew, within the confines of what seemed to be the perfect relationship between Damian Wayne and Raven.

Damian and Raven had been dating for a couple of months now, cherishing the moments of laughter, stolen glances, and tender kisses. But like any relationship, they were bound to face challenges; their first true test had arrived.

It had started as a simple disagreement during one of their patrols together. The young vigilante, clad in his usual Robin uniform, seemed more on edge than usual, his normally brooding demeanor escalated to full tension. Equally, Raven found herself carrying the burden of stress, her face often veiled in shadows.

Damian's voice was sharp and filled with frustration as he spoke his mind. "Raven, I cannot understand why you insist on delving so deeply into my past. It is in the past for a reason, and it does not define who I am now."

Raven's eyes flickered with hurt and confusion as she replied, her voice steady but laced with sadness. "Damian, I just want to understand you better. I want to know the experiences that have shaped you into the person you are today."

Damian's hands clenched into fists, his jaw tightening as he retorted, "You can never truly understand me, Raven. No one can. My past is filled with darkness and pain. It is not something I wish to burden you with."

Tears welled up in Raven's eyes, her voice barely above a whisper as she pleaded, "But Damian, we're supposed to be a team. A couple. I want to help you and support you in any way I can. I feel like I don't fully know you, like there's a part of you that you're keeping hidden from me."

Damian's gaze softened as he took in Raven. Damian's expression softened at her words, his emerald green eyes searching hers for a moment. The frustration in his voice faded slightly as he spoke, his voice tinged with vulnerability. "Raven, I don't mean to keep secrets from you. It's just... difficult for me to open up. The things I've been through, the choices I've made... they haunt me."

Raven reached out tentatively, her hand finding its way to Damian's, offering him comfort and reassurance. "I understand, Damian. I can't pretend to know the pain you've endured, but I want to be there for you. Sharing your burden doesn't diminish who you are. It takes strength to trust someone with your past and allow them to support you."

Damian sighed, his shoulders slumping as he leaned against a nearby rooftop ledge. He looked down for a moment, lost in his thoughts before meeting Raven's gaze once more.

"I want to trust you, Raven," he confessed, his voice barely above a whisper. "I want to let you in, but it's hard. I've learned that people can be unpredictable, that they can betray you when you least expect it."

Raven tightened her grip on his hand, her eyes filled with empathy. "I promise you, Damian, I will never betray you. I will always be here for you, no matter what. We can face whatever lies ahead together."

A flicker of hope sparked in Damian's eyes as he took a deep breath, letting Raven's words sink in. "Okay," he said, his voice laced with determination. "I'll try to open up more, to let you see the parts of me that I've been keeping hidden. But please be patient with me. It's going to take time."

Raven smiled softly, her thumb caressing his hand in a gentle motion. "Of course, Damian. Take all the time you need. Just know that I'm here for you, ready to listen whenever you're ready to share."

They stayed there on the rooftop ledge, their hands intertwined, finding solace in each other's presence as they navigated their journey together. With time and trust, they knew that their bond would only grow stronger, unearthing the hidden parts of their souls and weaving their paths together as they became not only a formidable team but a couple that faced the world together.
