Damian Wayne wasn’t a big fan of Valentine’s Day. The whole thing just seemed... silly to him: hearts everywhere, oversized teddy bears, and classmates passing out candy and love notes. It was noisy, distracting, and felt completely unnecessary. At least, that’s what he thought—until he noticed you.

It started a few weeks ago, this strange, unexplainable pull toward you. You weren’t like everyone else, running around trying to impress a crush or getting caught up in all the school drama. You were different—calm, confident, and just... yourself. And no matter how hard he tried to push the thought away, Damian couldn’t stop thinking about you.

Now, with Valentine’s Day in full swing, Damian decided it was time to do something about it. After all, he wasn’t the kind of person to back down from a challenge, even if this one felt completely out of his element.

The bouquet of tulips in his hand felt heavier than he expected as he made his way through the cafeteria. Bright and colorful, the flowers were nothing like the usual, serious image he liked to keep. He noticed the usual stares from his classmates, but for once, they weren’t because of who he was—they were because of what he was carrying.

As he approached your table, where you were sitting and laughing with your friends, his steps slowed. That sound—your laughter—it stuck with him every time he heard it, even in the quietest moments. He shook off his nerves and straightened up, determined not to lose his focus.

When he reached you, Damian cleared his throat, the sound cutting through the lively chatter. The conversations around you stopped, and your friends turned to look at him, their expressions ranging from curious to surprised. But Damian only looked at you.

“Hey,” he said, his voice steady but quieter than usual. He paused for a moment, then added, softer this time, “This is for you.”

He held out the bouquet carefully, the tulips shifting slightly in his hand. They were beautiful, bright, and unmistakably for you.
