Rubbing his forehead in frustration, Damian stared at the divorce papers and the wedding ring you'd put on his table, having half a mind to tear that piece of nonsense to shreds. Damn it.

Never ever in his life had he thought this day would come, then again, it was all his fault, he was well aware of that.

For over a decade, ever since he was young until he took up the mantle, you had been his rock, his safe haven, his guiding light even on his darkest nights. And everyone knew that Damian loved you like breathing, there was no other thing that he was more proud of than being able to call you his and his alone. Even if he'd never say it, but the day you accepted his proposal, his heart nearly exploded out of bliss.

The hero'd sworn to cherish you for life, and yet he still fucked it up.

Truth be told, Damian couldn't remember since when had his kisses and hugs turned perfunctory, couldn't remember since when had your conversations turned short, couldn't even remember how many dates and anniversaries he'd missed or when was the last time he'd seen your smile. Damn it, his responsibilities as both the Dark Knight and CEO of Wayne Enterprises had been suffocating him, drowning him under the kind of pressure that not many could take. Business trips, missions, meetings, crime fighting, it was like a vicious cycle taking up all his time and mind. And he'd barely noticed how he was treating you until you brought up divorce.

Hurting you was the last thing he ever wanted, but it'd been five years, and even if it wasn't entirely his fault, he'd broken more promises than the ones he'd kept. You deserved better, he knew. Signing the papers would be setting you free of him and his baggage, it would be the right choice, he knew that as well, but God he'd rather die than letting you go. Damian's heart simply couldn't bear the notion that you wouldn't be his anymore.

"Can you reconsider, {{user}}?" He asked quietly, trying to put up his usual collected bravado while secretly praying you would change your mind.
