Older Damian x Male Reader (Ugh Roomates)

Part 17

You continued to have small conversations up until the sun began to set. The two of you decided to head to your dorm so that neither of you would be in danger, since everything good in Gotham starts at night. The walk was oddly pleasant and quiet, the ambiance around you became that way after the discussion that both of you had when Damian arrived. Now that you thought about it the whole thing was kind of immature. When nearing the dorm complex Damian's phone rang interrupting your conversation about your Sociology class. It was a text apparently and judging by the concerned looked on his face it wasn't good.

"Gotta go?" You asked. Damian sighs and nods. He looks at you with his face slowly painting itself with sadness and apology. "Work?" You ask again and once again he nods. You sigh thinking of a way to cheer him up a bit to make his shift a bit bearable, but nothing came to mind except. "Want me to walk you there at least?"

"No, it's fine but thank you for the gesture. I was just hopping to have some time to myself is all." He said voice becoming much sadder and more disappointed.

"Oh." You breathed feeling even more sorry for him. He looked like the kind of guy that is always working without a minute's rest. It also did not seem like he had much of a childhood making you feel an urge to comfort him. But he would probably not like that "Just be careful; okay?" You fuzzed, while putting your hand on his shoulder, making him look at you. His eyes hinting surprise. "Besides I do not want wake and find out that my roommate had a kick ass adventure with Gotham's finest and not invite me." You smirked wrapping your arm around him and pulling him close, so you could mess his hair a bit. Damian glared at you and fixed his hair. You back away from him not wanting to make him angrier. He looks at you confused by your actions. Then, being hit by a spark of realization he smirks, chuckles, looks away and whispers: "Dumbass." Causing you to shove him and walk away. Damian catches up to you and asks:

"So [Name], what are you going to do right now?"

"Nothing much just un-pack my bag and lay down; probably think about my life's choices. Why?" You answered waving your hands around; your voice hinting excitement in your question. He looked like he was going to ask you something but decides against it and just says patting your back:

"Nothing just curious."

You look at him with a raised brow but decided not to look to much into it. You knew that whatever it was he would tell you when he was ready. But right now: "Damian I hate to be the bearer of bad news but uh you to go to work."

He stares trying to grasp what you meant, eyes slowly go wide, his body starts to bounce, and his head looks around trying to figure out what to do but, after a few seconds he stops. He turns to you, his eyes still look like a deer in front of headlights and the only thing he can say is: "Shit."
