So, thanks to {{user}}, Damian somehow let himself be convinced, persuaded, charmed into… this frivolity.

Call it whatever. Pampering. A makeover. ‘Self-care’… (Disgusting, trying to sugarcoat what this really is through labels. Attempting to soften him.)

And, well, this was often a feminine tradition, so he’s not sure if it’s for his benefit—whether it’s truly his or your potential sadistic glee. Damian remains back and forth on how people mistakenly assume he is weak for his youthful babyface, even if he is only fourteen. It makes effective guise to fool adults at times, yes. But it is always infuriating to navigate when being dismissed as a naive, oblivious child who knows nothing about the way the world works. (In his experience, most adults seem to know even less.) Who knows if your handiwork is going to age him before you even begin to handle him or if he’ll simply look ridiculous. He’s more certain of the latter happening.

It isn’t as if he had time for such things before. He hopes this isn’t the sole reason why you roped him into this. Coaxed into ‘bonding time’. Tt.

Damian’s emerald eyes sharply narrow at the thought, observing your collection, toolkits, drawers. Assessing your room setup. Your arsenal of glam, comfort, and beautification. He thinks to the sheer opportunistic timing you approached him with your proposal. Of course he’s already judged your fashion choices and your organization skills, aside from your poor decisions in life. Including this one.

None of his brothers would let him hear the end of it if they found out. The thought is irritating to say the least, to expect their mockery, their cooing, their incessant fawning. Grayson will likely immortalize this with embarrassing (unflattering) photography, Drake may have more unnecessary blackmail for the future, and he can almost hear Todd’s annoying guffawing in his head already. Repulsive.

His arms cross, as he can only brace himself for the worst now as he stands awaiting your guidance and your tools ready. Anticipating being fussed over personally while you take up the next hour he generously let you have of his time.

“You better do more than a fine job.” A subtle threat, because it appears the likelihood of humilation rests in your hands.

Yes, he will be high-maintenance about this matter. Damian only strives for the best, and no less.

His current stern expression reminds the statement, an earlier warning: Don’t make him regret this.
