She's Sunshine, She's Grace, She'll Punch You in the Face

Chapter 94: Welcoming Damian Back

Marinette waited for Damian to get home in the garage. She found herself admiring all the different cars shapes and sizes when she faintly heard Damian's car from outside and down the road. She casually leaned against the car she was closest to, which just so happened to be a bright red 1963 Chevy Corvette she was admiring moments before, and smiled brightly when the garage door started to open.

Damian quickly caught sight of Marinette and smiled just as brightly at her as he pulled in.

"Hello, Angel." He said as he grabbed his things out of the car while Plagg quickly flew off into the house.

"Hey, Dami." Marinette said as she watched the black kwami fly off. "How was your day?"

"Better now that you are here." He says before giving her a brief, sweet kiss. "How about you?"

"I had a pretty good day. We all hung out with Raven and Gar and I'm getting pretty close to finishing my dress. Tikki did try to embarrass me in front of Raven though. But enough about me. How was school without me? And how did Plagg do?"

"To be honest, I almost forgot about Plagg. He's surprisingly quiet when other people are around. The ride home was a different story though. He wouldn't shut up about how 'American cheese' was one of his least favorite cheeses. Apparently, it doesn't smell enough? School itself though, was quite infuriating. My own teacher seemed to be intrigued that I was dating you and even let another student ask me questions about us in the middle of class. Thankfully she was smart enough to see that I wasn't going to answer any of her questions so she got back to the lesson... And don't even get me started about lunch."

"That bad huh?" Marinette gave him a comforting smile as she grabbed his hand to lead him back inside. "What did they do?"

"Well by then, my own class had figured out that I wasn't going to tell them anything but the rest of the school didn't seem to know that. I had a group of people following me around and asking questions like paparazzi. I was this close" He held up his hand to show maybe only a centimeter's worth of distance between his index finger and thumb. "to yelling at all of them. Luckily a teacher intervened and told them all to disperse or get detention. That still didn't stop everyone from staring." Damian sighed.

"I'm sorry, Damian." The bluenette smiled sadly at him. "I'm sure they will get over this soon though. Plus, we only have a few more months of High School left."

"Yes, I'm well aware that they will eventually find something a lot more interesting to obsess over later." Damian looked around to where Marinette was taking him. "Where are we going?"

"Down to the cave. That's where everyone is at." She looked up at him. "Why? Do you need to do something first?"

"No. I was just confused as to why we passed the stairs." Damian watched as Marinette opened up the large grandfather clock that leads down to the cave and quickly followed after her.

"Oh, here they are." Jason spoke up as the young couple entered the cave.

Everyone watched as Marinette and Damian, with their joined hands, walked together to meet up with them.

"Hey, guys. What's up?" Marinette said.

"Wow. You weren't lying, Jason." Gar said as he stared at the couple holding hands.

"Gar!" Raven lightly smacked him on the back of the head. "Don't be rude." She turned her attention back to the couple. "Hey, Marinette. Hey, Damian. We where just talking about all the new upgrades to the Batmobile."

"Yeah." Kori nodded. "And we were also talking about you two."

"Way to keep it honest, Kori." Jason shook his head.

"What about us?" Damian narrowed his eyes at his adopted brother.

"Just that you have changed little D, but in a good way." Kori smiled.

"Yeah." Gar laughed. "I thought I'd never see the day where you would happily hold another person's hand." He turned to his girlfriend. "Raven, are you sure we haven't entered the twilight zone? Today has been such a weird day."

"I'm enjoying the weirdness." Raven shrugged. "At least today wasn't boring."

"I guess you can't avoid the stares no matter where you go." Marinette joked.

"Unfortunately." Damian agreed with a sigh.

"Aw, don't look so glum, Dami." Marinette booped him on the nose. "Save the mean mug for patrol. That will surely scare the criminals towards the right path."

Damian couldn't help but to smile at his girlfriend's cheerful nature. "That's quite optimistic Angel, but I don't think it will work out that way." He chuckled.

Gar audibly gasped while Raven just stared in amazement at the two.

"I told you guys." Jason laughed. "Sunshine here has him wrapped around her finger."

"Mind you own business, Todd." Damian glared at Jason.

"I would but sadly you two won't go get a room." Jason snapped back. "It's not my fault you two want to do your cutesy little couples thing in front of everyone."

"And also, that one time in your school's cafeteria." Kori added with a smile plastered on her face.

"Oh, yeah." Raven looked over at Jason. "You said you were going to show us that video."

"See, this is why you two need twitter." Jason said as he pulled out his phone. "You would have seen this days ago."

"Oh no." Marinette shook her head. "Just when I though we got over that."

The young couple waited as everyone watched the video from Jason's phone.

"Damn, Marinette!" Gar looked up at her with wide eyes. "You can be wild, huh?"

"No!" Marinette tried to defend herself. "I was just winning a bet I had with Damian. That's all."

"Oh, so Damian's the wild one." Raven smirked.

"No." Damian spoke at the same time Marinette said "What?"

"So, Marinette IS the wild one?" Kori asked.

"Neither of us are wild." Marinette huffed. "I'm just very competitive is all."

"I can agree with that." Jason nodded. "I wouldn't underestimate Sunshine. That has been my downfall before."

"That and you not being able to mind your own business." Marinette turned to Raven and Gar. "Speaking of which. I have a great photo I think you two would love to see." Marinette began to take out her phone.

"Here we go." Jason rolled his eyes.

Marinette pulled up her twitter and was surprised to see the thousands of notifications but chose to ignored it to pull up the picture Dick had tagged her in. She turned her phone around to show the picture to Raven and Gar.

Everyone but Jason began to laugh again at the picture.

"What did they do?" Raven asked between laughter.

"They where spying on our date." Damian smirked. "This part of the punishment was my idea."

"Really?" Gar looked surprised.

"Yep." Marinette patted Damian on the head. "Who would have though the 'Ice Prince of Gotham' was such a comical genius?"

"They look so angry." Raven laughed.

"If you guys are just going to make fun of me then I'm going to leave." Jason pouted.

"Come on, Jay. Don't be like that. You know this would be funny if it was anybody else." Marinette said. "I mean, just look at Tim and tell me his face isn't absolutely hilarious."

"Yeah..." Jason cracks a smile. "You are kind of right."

"Of course, I am."
