#*casually heads Danny enough money to pay his rent for the month and utilities

Damian does not know how he has got into such a mess.
That was a lie.
Like most messes in his life, it all started with his family and their constant “ribbing”.
‘They act as if gaining a date was not easy,’
Damian glared as he scouted out a suitable target in the mall.
Sitting alone by the arcade there was an attractive boy on his phone.
Acceptable.
Making his way next to his target, he sat down and tapped his shoulder.
The other boy flinched and subtly (though not to someone as trained as him) glanced Damian over, eyes seeming to catalog instinctively.
Good, not perfect but admissible all things considered.
“Uh hi.?”
“Your age.”
“Pardon?”
“What is your age?”
“16.?”
Damian nodded as he mulled over the information. About a year his senior, not ideal but still viable.
“ Date me.”
“Excuse me??”
“I will pay you for your inconvenience of course but I am in need of a date and you are the most suitable person I have seen so far.”
“Wait a minute-“
“Here is your first payment.”
Damian handed the boy the envelope he had prepared for today and had to hold back a smirk as he saw they other boy’s eyes widen.
“I-“
“I will pay you monthly with bonuses for any extremely taxing events that may occur if you agree.”
“I- I guess?”
“Good, now give me your number and I will contact you for our first date. My name is Damian Wayne.”
“Danny..”
~~~~~~
For all purposes the agreement has only worked in his favor.
His family was off his back, galas were less boring and they even shared common interests.
That being said,
“You did not need to give me a gift Daniel, it was not a requirement.”
Damian looked down at the katana shaped keychain he was handed, it was well made and surprisingly sharp.
“I know Dami, but it just reminded me of you!”
What a mess indeed…
