My One And Only - A Daminette Story

Chapter 23

"I-" Madison tried to defend herself but Damian wasn't having any of that.

"You have the audacity to call yourself a woman yet when something as petty as rejection is thrown your way, you go as far as assault to get what you want. How disgusting and pathetic. Don't you, for a fucking, second think it is acceptable to do that, because it isn't. You ever dare try that again I promise you, I'll do a lot worse than shove you." Damian let his words sink in before he grabbed his bag, preparing to leave. He heard Jon gathering his belongings together but he didn't wait for him. Damian passed Madison, who was still on the floor. "You're lucky I won't sue you for sexual assault." He seethed before walking away.

Damian risked a look back as he was about to leave the cafeteria, he saw Madison on the floor still, a mixture of shock, sadness, anger and fear were displayed on her face. He gave her one of his signature glares before turning away, leaving her as prey to the audience in the cafeteria. Making his way to the library, Damian made his way through to a back corner, a place he knew would be quiet and empty. Messaging Marinette, Damian sent her a request to video call. During their conversation, Jon came into the library. It was pleasant having Jon there, it was also comforting to Damian. Soon the bell rang.

"Well that's us." Jon said after the warning bell sounded out.

"We have to go now, Angel. Talk to you later", Damian had a small smile on his face.

"Yeah, I know, Bye Jon, talk to you later, Dami." Damian and Jon both waved at Marinette after she had said goodbye. Taking their belongings, the two made their way out of the library.

"I didn't realise you haven't told them, you know, about you and Marinette." Jon mumbled.

"I'd like to keep her a secret from them for a while, with the 'family business'. They're bound to be absurd. Also, they might want to interrogate her since she's from Paris, the place we're investigating." Damian replied quickly, making sure to be in control of his heartbeat and his breathing so that his best friend's super-hearing wouldn't even able to pick up on it.

"Out of all the nicknames in the world, you chose 'Angel'. It's quite cute actually, very fitting for Marinette." Jon told him as they were walking down a hallway. "How'd you choose it?" Damian raised an eyebrow at his friend. "I'm just curious."

He sighed. "One day she was wearing a colour similar to white and she just looked like an angel, nothing else to add."

The blue-eyed boy hummed. "Reasonable enough to me, also" Jon looked at Damian worriedly, well as much as he could while they were walking side by side. "The reason I went to the library was to check on you, are you feeling okay after what Madison did?"

"What Carter did was unsettling and disgusting, but I'll be sure to tell Father about it", Damian sighed again, looking at anywhere but the boy next to him.

"But are you okay?" Jon asked again, his blue eyes sparkling with apprehension.

"I'm... fine, it's fine. Thank you for your concern, Kent." Damian said to his friend with sincerity. Jon smiled in response.

"You'll be happy to know that the entire cafeteria bit into Madison after you left." Jon stated.

"She wanted their full attention and made a fool of herself after, I'd say it's fair." Damian responded, ignoring the looks that the students waking past him were giving.

"Now there's one last thing I gotta say, I heard your heartbeat quicken after Marinette bit her lip." Jon snickered at Damian's shocked expression.

"Shut up, Kent." He grumbled, his flushed face betraying him. Jon laughed at his expression.
