( he glances back down to his gameboy, fiddles with it a little, before he gives a shrug. )
I mean, it was dumb, so.
( that’s what he’s telling himself now anyways. leave it to damian and accelerator to take his valentines as something weird and unnecessary when he’d only wanted to include them and show them he’d thought of them. sure, maybe it WAS silly, but. well. he hadn’t really thought so. but does now. )
( no need to censor that. jon already knows, but damian isn't - he doesn't say it harshly. his voice is as soft-toned as it gets, and he's not moving away from jonathan any. )
But that does not mean it was. Your traditions are not ones I am accustomed to, but that doesn't make them wrong.
( or at least he hadn’t thought of it as that, but. well whatever. looking back to his gameboy he plays around on it a little, wanting to finish this dungeon at least. )
I was just doing something nice and you’re darn right it’s not wrong. I just wanted to include you in it and the animal crossing one was funny. You know, fun? You probably don’t even want to do anything for my birthday next week.
If you want to do something for your birthday, I will do it with you.
( he's trying to meet jon somewhere in the middle. no, damian isn't certain he particularly wants to do anything birthday-like, but his birthdays were full of violence and blood. the likelihood of jon expecting something similar is small to none. )
I don’t know. Everything’s just been a lot lately.
( and it doesn’t feel right to celebrate when worlds are dying? when his might not “make the cut”? saving his game, he sighs and sets his gameboy aside, reaching for his cheetos that he shoves a handful into his mouth. )
My super hearing got real bad and I couldn’t block things out. My dad had to stay with me until I got a better handle on it. I figured being down here might not be as bad.
