Devastating

Chapter 44

Tim's P.O.V.

"Interviewers: Lois Lane-Kent and Clark Kent, interviewee: Marinette Dupain-Cheng. Marinette, what was your first impression of Damian? When you first met."

"He was formal but nice. He walked me to the lobby and got me a taxi because I was accidentally left behind by my class."

"And as you got to know him?" Clark asked.

"He's a softie for animals and his niece. He can be blunt (but he's just honest), and when he wants something he finds a way to get it done. Decent-ish in the kitchen (but he needs constant instruction, like a two-year-old)." Marinette giggled at that time they cooked together.

"When you said he was willing to do whatever it took to get something done, like what?" Marinette hesitated, the best example was the portrait and everyone knew it but she didn't know that they knew about it. Tim decided to intervene,

"They know about the portrait." Marinette blushed in embarrassment.

"He got me to pose one day, so he could paint me." The bluenette mumbled still embarrassed that Damian brought it up.

"Where are you from?"

"Paris."

"Whose your favorite celebrity?" Marinette hesitated.

"I-I don't know... I don't really have one."

"When, where and with who was your first kiss?" Lois read from her phone, a friend giving her more questions for these types of interviews.

"Damian, the first time I was here."

"Before you two were dating?" Lois politely clarified.

"Yes."

"Did you think you were going to end up in a relationship when you went on this trip?" Lois asked, Marinette snorted.

"No." She was almost amused.

"Any ex's Damian has to worry about?" She laughed again as if the idea of her having an ex was ridiculous.

"Definitely not." No one had known that, everyone seemed mildly surprised.

"Why not?" Clark asked.

"Didn't that friend of yours say you had a bunch of stalkers?" Jason supplied, Lois looked at Marinette expectantly.

"I used to have a crush on this one boy, I thought he was perfect but he was really passive when it came to certain things that I thought were important. After that I didn't think I needed a boyfriend, what's the point in dating if it's just to date? And as for my 'stalkers' they were friends and people I knew that apparently had crushes on me, they're all nice." Lois nodded,

"So Damian is your first boyfriend?" Marinette nodded, humming affirmatively. "What about his ex-girlfriends?"

"I don't think he's had one before, but I'm not sure." Marinette answered not wanting to assume.

"How did he ask?" Lois asked, but she sounded more like a friend trying to get the gossip instead of a reporter. Marinette relaxed a little.

"We were talking about nicknames and he said I could call him anything I wanted to, I said 'boyfriend' and he froze. I was so embarrassed but  he said that he was planning on asking later and said it kinda funny, asking me to 'court' but he's just formal when he gets nervous and I said yes." Marinette seemed amused when she looked back it.

"How serious would you say it is?" Marinette froze and blushed.

"I-I don't know I never t-thought about it- I-uh..." She looked panicked, she probably hadn't expected a question like that. Lois and Clark shared a look and moved on,
