My True Love

【 43 】

I forgot to mention in the last chapter that the flashback ended so this is now where it was left off before the flashback.

*Marinette's Pov*

"You want to remain a secret? I wonder how you'll keep up that appearance of us 'being friends' if you're taking me to the gala tomorrow," I said to Damian, giggling while I unwrapped my arms from his body.

Damian sighed.

"Of course that will be difficult since it's already a struggle for me not to kiss you with everyone around. How about we just not tell them but let them figure it out the day of. If we tell them now I won't hear the end of it from the others," Damian said.

I pretended to think about it for a bit while Damian sat down and stared at me, waiting patiently for my answer.

"I guess, but you owe me for waiting this long for telling Chloe, she's going to kill me once she knows that she wasn't the first to know, even if it is a secret," I said to him.

"And what do I do to make that up," he said, smirking.

He was still sitting at the edge of his bed, since I was still standing his face was at the same level as mine.

I wrapped my arms around his neck while I slowly kissed him. I felt him wrap his arms around my waist as I leaned my head to the side. Once we stopped, we both were out of breath.

"To make it up, you have to come with me to Paris one day, and I get to show you around and have you the whole day to myself," I said.

He raised an eyebrow.

"That's what you want? That's easy to do? When do you want to go?" He asked.

"Well, you do know I am leaving the day after the gala. I was hoping you would one day visit me in Paris," I said quietly.

"Oh. I forgot you're leaving so soon," Damian said quietly.

"We haven't talked about how that would work, us being long distance or if we-"

"I could talk to father, ask him to transfer me to your school," he said, interrupting me.

"You don't have to do that. Anyway, don't you have to be Robin here?" I asked him.

"My third year being Robin, father sent me away to a boarding school so my absence doesn't affect anything since it isn't only Batman and Robin anymore, he has the others. There are only a few months left until you graduate and I can say I'm there to help you with Hawkmoth," he said.

"You really want to come back with me don't you?" I said softly, smiling at how cute he was being.

"I've gotten attached, I need your endless love," he said, teasing me.

I playfully pushed him off me.

"It was a joke," I said, pouting.

"Not anymore it isn't," he said laughing, he said grabbing me as we both fell on his bed. I was now on top of him with each of his hands on one side of my waist.

I blushed as I looked at him since I was now straddling him.

"Can't I just go back with you? Once you leave I'm pretty sure I'll be third-wheeling since Jon's boyfriend now lives with me," Damian said, his dark green eyes looking at me while moving the hair from my face to the back of my ear.

"Do you really need my permission? I feel like when I get back to school you will be there waiting in the classroom," I said, laughing at the idea.

"I can do that. Should it be a surprise?"
