Chapter 9: Not Enough.

~Smut warning~ ~Smut Warning~

It's been exactly one month since Damian and Jon had begun having their little arrangements. Everynight, after patrol the pair would retire to the privacy of either Damian's room in Gotham or Jon's in Metropolis.

And seeing as it's a Gotham night, Damian found himself wrapped in the warm embrace of a sleeping Superboy.

"I don't understand.." Damian whispered under his breath, his eyes focused on Jon's face, mere inches from his own.

"I have basically everything I thought I wanted..." Damian thought to himself, a look of discontent on his face as his brows furrowed.

Damian's gaze focused on the strands of dark hair, resting haphazardly on Jon's face. The room was still, say for the sound of Jon's peaceful breathing.

Damian sighed, the intensity on his face fading as he began to speak.

"Its just as I feared.." Damian thought to himself. "I get to hold your hand, I get to enjoy the warmth of your embrace, melt into your kiss.." Damian paused and wiped away the smudge of grayish white at the corner of his lip "among.. other things..." Damian blushed lightly before letting out another sigh.

"But I want more than that, Kent.." Damian said, his voice longing. Burying his face into Jon's chest eliciting a light moan from the boy of steel, causing him to tighten his hug ever so slightly in his sleep before relaxing.

"I want your heart." Damian whispered knowingly before drifting off to sleep.

***

The early morning sun had already risen, Jon said his goodbyes after eating breakfast with the Waynes, giving his best friend a tight squeeze before heading back to metropolis as Jonathan Kent, the family already accustomed to having the son of Superman staying over.

Damian stood just outside a door, dreading what horrors he would have to endure.. but for Jon? It was worth it.

Steeling himself, he knocked.

*Knock knock knock*

"One second!" The voice called out and not a moment later the door opened.

"Grayson." Damian said, his voice devoid of nearly any emotion.

"Oh, 'Sup lil' D." His eldest brother said, resting an arm on the door frame looking down at the smaller male.

"Could we... talk inside?" Damian said, rubbing his arm, his eyes darting off to the side.

Dick raised a brow, he could count in one hand the number of times he's seen Damian visibly uncomfortable.

"Alright, come right in." Dick said, moving out of the way so Damian can enter.

Damian sat at the edge of his bed, dick closing the door before making his way over to his younger brother.

"So, what's this about?" Dick said, handing Damian a cup of hot chocolate from the baccarat crystal pitcher Alfred brought in earlier before pouring his own cup.

Damian stirred the cup with a spoon before taking a sip and sighing.

"Dick.. I- I have something to-" Damian was cut off by dick

"Nope, let me stop you right there." Dick said, standing up. Damian raising a brow.

"Damian, I already know." Dick spoke, before turning his back to Damian and stirring his hot chocolate.

"Bu-" Damian was cut off once again, clicking his tongue in annoyance.

"But as your older brother, I am flattered that you would come out to me first." Dick said, his eyes closed bringing the cup to his lips.

"Dick it's not-"

"And" Grayson began, turning around to face Damian, his eyes still closed as he took another sip. Stirring the cup more now

"I know about you and Jon too, rest assured that I am proud of you and sweet tooth and that both of you are going to have my full support all throughout the process of-"

"GRAYSON." Damian shouted, startling the first Robin.

"Yeah?" Dick said, opening his eyes to see an adequately annoyed Damian standing before him.

"I'm not dating Jon." Damian said bluntly.

"....Ohhh?" Dick said, raising a brow.

"Not- not yet at least." Damian said, sitting back down.

"Ohhh." Dick said

"That's.. that's actually why I came to you in the first place." Damian continued.

"Ohhh!"

"Could you quiet down a bit?" Damian said, plugging one ear with a finger. "TT. You're deafening me."

Dick simply ruffled Damian's hair, and sat down next to him.

"Alright Lil' D, what exactly do you need?" Dick asked

"I came here looking for answers." Damian replied

"Answers?" Dick raised a brow

"Advice, really. You've had a lot of experience in this regard, seeing as you've dated Zatanna, are currently dating Kori and I'm aware or what you and Wally used to get up to back when you were Robin." Damian said nonchalantly, causing Dick's eyes to go wide at the last name he mentioned, a slight blush flashing on his face.

"Wait, how'd you-"

"Bottom line is," Damian interrupted "I need your help to get Kent to... 'like' me; as in like-like me." Damian paused, letting out a sigh "To be blunt, I need you to help me get Kent to feel the way I feel about him. The way I.. love him." Damian said.

Dick paused for a moment to think, and also to stop himself for shouting in glee cause Damian finally chose to open up to him.

Dick smiled at his younger brother "As your best friend-"

"Jon's my best friend."

The smile vanished from his face for a splitsecond before returning.

"As your best friend" Dick began, causing Damian to roll his eyes.

"I feel like it's my duty to teach you." Dick said

"Go on."

"Well, you aren't exactly the best at conveying your emotions through.. conventional means, like talking it out so why not express how you feel through ways you know how?" Dick said.

"Ways I know how?" Damian asked

"You know, with your art or something. I've seen the works you've made on that easel in your room. Try to convey how you feel about Jon through that." Dick said.

"TT. Sounds reasonable enough." Damian replied.

"Good, that's step one. Gotto settle your true feelings about the boy before you act on them. Next step, give that art to sweet tooth, then give him some gifts, you know? Flowers, chocolates you know- oh, and wear something nice." Dick continued

"Shouldn't be too difficult, although the latter part sounds rather cliche." Damian said

"Oh hush. It works, trust me." Dick smiled and cocked his cheek to the side "ok, then you need to ask him out." Dick said, earning a curious look from Damian.

"Like.. a date?" Damian asked.

"Yeah, genius. Don't you wanna be his boyfriend be all kissy-kissy to him and stuff?" Dick half-teased-half-asked his younger brother

Damian didn't reply, only that his cheeks changed to a deep shade of red. That's all Dick needed. Dick smiled.

"Good, then do that. Plan something nice, you know sweet tooth better than I do so do something he'd like, or maybe do something he's never experienced before." Dick paused. "Something romantic." Dick smiled.

"Romantic.. alright. I guess I can do that."

"Good, one last thing. You know Kent better than I do, so if you think you have to switch up any of the things I told you, or maybe add a few more; do it." Dick said, patting Damian on the back and standing up to open the door.

Damian stood up, and flashed Dick a small smile.

"Oh, and one last thing lil' D." Dick said, causing Damian to pause just as he was about to exit, looking back at his older brother.

"Just be yourself, and have fun; alright, lil' D?" Dick said, smiling warmly at his younger brother.

Damian nodded, smiling. "Thanks... big D" Damian said, closing the door. Leaving an elated Dick in his room, a wide smile on his face because his younger brother finally used his nickname.

Damian made his way back to his room, shutting the door behind him. His eyes rested on his easel. A look of determination on his face.

"Alright... Step 1."
