Jon's Room
6:45a.m.

[DAMIAN'S POV]

Through my eyelids, I noticed that it was slightly bright outside. I opened my eyes to view a blurry vision of where I am. I rubbed my eyes and the view became much clearer.

Me: (yawn)

I found myself fully lying on the bed, with a pillow behind my head. I reach for my phone on the bedside table to check the time. It's 6:47a.m.. I then glanced over to my right where Jon was sleeping. His left leg was under the blanket while his right leg was over the blanket and his arms were wrapped around a pillow. His hair were all messed up and some were tangled up over his forehead. The sound of his breathing was ever so relaxed.

Me: Cute.. (muttered)

I thought maybe once I get up, I'll get a neck or back ache, but nothing. Sleeping here was almost the same as my bed back home.
I glanced over to the window.

One thing I admire about Jon's apartment is the fact they have an amazing view over The City of Metropolis from their balconies and windows.
The weather outside today is absolutely calming. It's bright but the sun isn't up yet. It's a misty morning today.

Me: Since I'm awake, I don't think I'll go back to sleep..

I sat upright and used my phone again. I noticed that there was an unread message from father in the notification drawer.

Me: Alright then.

I glanced over to Jon after reading that message, it got me thinking whether or not I should obey Superman's wishes by making Jon and his mom to stay beneath Wayne Enterprise for their protection or, should I bring him along to battle? I thought of asking father's opinion but nahh. I've decided to let him choose what he wants to do. I'm not going to force him, I just hope he makes the right choice. (Sigh) Now, temporarily setting that aside, I was thinking maybe once Jon wakes up, we could go for breakfast, or branch, depending on what time he wakes up. And provided if his folks allow him to.
It's a good thing I brought my cash and cards.
It's already 7:30a.m.. The sun is now up and is shining upon Metropolis City, including inside Jon's room.

[JON'S POV]

(Sigh) Morning already... I can tell that the sun is shining directly onto my face because my eyelids were quite bright.

I blocked the sun my hand and opened my eyes. I got up and sat upright, leaning against the bed frame. I stretched my arms and rubbed my eyes as a yawn came out.

Damian: Morning half breed..

After hearing Damian's voice, I remembered. I've completely forgotten that Damian slept over with me last night. It's kinda my thing. I forget so many things once I've slept off and wake up. Anyways, Damian seemed to have awoken first. He's next to Me, sitting upright, leaning against the bed frame too, with his phone in his grip.

Me: (yawn) Morning D...

Damian: So I was th-

Me: Damian, thank you, for staying over last night. I know it was all a sudden and yet you stayed. Thank you, I really mean it.

Damian: (chuckling) Sure. (Placing his right arm on Jon's shoulders) Last night when I saw the look on your face, saying that you really needed a company. I didn't had the heart to turn my back on you.

Me: Thank you.. (Patting Damian's hand)

Damian: (lowering his arm from Jon's shoulder) Now, how does outdoor breakfast sounds? My treat. There's a restaurant down main street called The Ledbury.

It's a wonderful restaurant with many kinds of goods and, I heard they serves one of the best waffles in Metropolis.. Will your parents allow?

Me: Ok, now I'm hungry....... Oh..... I hope they'll allow me to.... I'll go ask them right now! (Got out of bed and walked out his room)

I really wasn't exaggerating. I am indeed hungry. When he said the word "waffles" I felt a grumble in my tummy. I got out of bed and head out of my room. I walked over to the kitchen and I see my parents there.

Mom the usual, preparing breakfast. But dad had his Superman uniform underneath a white shirt. I walked towards them.

Me: Dad? No work today?

Clark: Jimmy's covering for me today. And it's a good thing too because I have a meeting with the League around 12 later. They say it's urgent. I'll be heading to the Watch Tower now to handle some business before the meeting starts.

Lois: (glanced over to Jon) Your father may be off today but sadly, I'm not. If I were, we could have had a mother son bonding day. I'm sorry honey.

Me: It's ok, they'll be another day, where all of us can spend a day or two together without any responsibilities stopping us. For Now, we'll just have to face them.

Clark: (glanced towards Jon with a grin) Spoken like a true wise man...

Lois: I couldn't agree more.. (looking at Jon) Inspiring sweetie!

Me: Anywho...... I was wondering..... Can I go with Damian to have breakfast?

Lois: Damian?

Me: Yeah, he ask- called, me just now, asking if I would like to follow him to have breakfast at The Ledbury. His treat.

Clark: The Ledbury huh? Wow.... Your mother and I have been there once, and I can tell you, that the food there, is really good but also, pricy... I'm ok with it, you hon? (Glancing towards Lois)

Lois: Why not.. I'm completely ok with you hanging out with Damian. Plus, less work for me. (Laughing)

Me: Thank you thank you thank you!!!

Clark: Just be careful, ok Jon. Make sure to keep your eyes, and ears open for anything suspicious. Both you and Damian.

Me: Will do. Thanks again! (Turned back and flew towards his room)

Lois from the background: Have fun!

Well that was easy.... (sigh in happiness) boy am I thankful to have such great parents....
I got in my room and shut the door. When I turn, I noticed that Damian wasn't on the bed. He was snooping through my clothes.

Me: Ahem...... And you are doing what exactly??

Damian: (digging through his drawer of clothes) Ughh.... Your clothes are way too colourful.... (holding up a random t-shirt) very few dark colours, and (holding up another random t-shirt) a whole lot of bright colours... (holding out a tshirt with a clown face on it) Oh, not to mention, a whole lot of weird t-shirts.... (keeping back the t-shirts he was holding and pulled out another) huh... this seems ok.

Me: Ok for what?

Damian: Oh (turned behind to face Jon, holding the t-shirt in his hand) may I borrow this t-shirt to use for Now? I'll return it.

Me: Oh, sure, why not.. If you want, you can keep it. That t-shirt is a little tight on me. But I think it'll fit you perfectly.

The t-shirt that he was holding was a simple black t-shirt. My grandmother gave me that shirt as a Christmas gift, but unfortunately, she didn't know my size, and she bought a size small. The t-shirt does fit me, maybe a little too fitting. I prefer size M, where the clothes doesn't squeeze my body like a tights.

Damian: (checking the t-shirt) sure does look like my size.

Me: Yeah. Plus, if you decided to keep it, we'll both have one clothes from each other. Mine is that t-shirt, from me to you, and yours is the blue pants you gave me during the sleepover. I'm still keeping it.

Damian: Huh... Thought you'd threw it away by now....

Me: ??... No.... why would I?

Damian: No reason.. (Chuckling) Think I'll keep it.. By any chance-

Me: There's a new toothbrush behind the mirror. You can use that. The brushes on it are soft, slim and infused with charcoal bristle.

Damian: Wow, that was very, specific.....

Me: Well yeah. Thought maybe you'd like to know the details first, before using it. I've seen your toothbrush once. It's the same as the new one, just this is soft, yours is a medium.

Damian: (facepalm to the face) Oh Jon.... I'm not that picky and snooty ok... I didn't pick that toothbrush, Pennyworth did. He does the shopping for the Manor. I'm ok with ordinary stuff.

Me: (Hands in the air) Alright alright.. (Laughing)

Damian: tt... I'll just change for now. Once I get back, I'll shower.
I think, I don't stink. (Chuckling) Even if I do, I don't give a crap.

Me: No... You don't stink. The room atmosphere was pretty cool last night, thanks to the rain. It didn't bring out our just-woke-up smell or our body odor smell. So yeah, you're good. But,,,, I think I'm gonna bath. It's just a routine of mine.

Damian: Your body, your wish I guess. Just don't take too long to get ready.

Me: I won't. Hmm, you're using my t-shirt, how about pants?

Damian: I'll use the black pants I'm wearing now. I'll remove my tunic and use your t-shirt, together with the black pants. And, I'm ready.

Me: Huh, alright then... Why don't you go ahead and get ready first. I gotta see my mom for a while.

Not really.

Damian: Ok. (Walking towards the bathroom)

Truth is, while Damian gets ready, I'll be packing my Superboy uniform in a backpack, just in case if I need it later on. I promised my dad I'd be careful. So this is me, keeping my promise.
