Damian “I pretend as if I can’t be understood. I show my emotions in odd ways and craft my sentences perfectly so people never know what I truly mean - if I truly care, then I do it again so no one can see me for what I am and how I feel about myself” Wayne vs. Jon “I’ve studied you. I know you. You cannot fool me, I hear love in the tone of your voice and in the pitch of your heart and I will bring out the good parts of yourself that you pretend you do not have” Kent meet just to spite each other even as they appreciate one another.
After years of being best friends, they start to pine for each other. It shows from their longing looks, Soft touches, kind words and vulnerable moments... But they never say anything. Neither of them make a move.
But then Damian gets hurt, very bad. And Jon, seeing him covered in bandages, lying unconscious on a hospital bed, snaps. He reliases that with the life they are living, he can lose Damian so easily. He is scared. As Damian is a mere human, fragile and vulnerable. He can die and never come back. And Jon doesn't want to live in regret.
After Damian recovers, Jon makes the first move. He tells Damian that he loves him. Jon tells him that he wants Damian to be his, and he want to be Damian's. Jon tells him he want to marry Damian and live the rest of their life together and happy.
Damian smiles warmly. And maybe cries a little. He accepts gladly. For his beloved could finally be with him.
Jon wraps his arms around Damian's waist as Damian wraps his arms around his Kryptonian's neck. They kiss.
It's soft, a little clumsy, but full of love and passion.
It is a new page in their story. A story that has a happy ending.
Since we are talking about married Damian and Jon I wanna expand on a old concept of mine.
The fact that kryptonians age much slower than humans and the fact that if Damian and Jon spent their life together then Jon would have to watch Damian slowly age and wither away. Whole time he’s trying to help Damian move to place to place on their farmhouse because he’s aging but not feeling the physical restrictions that comes with his years and Damian is still so full of pride that he shoos off Jon when he’s trying to help him.
Some people were like “he’ll throw Damian into a Lazarus Pit” I actually disagree. Damian most likely wouldn’t be afraid of death like his grandfather and especially wouldn’t want to mirror him in cheating it. He’d embrace death as it came because he spent his years happily by his beloved’s side… not even getting into the angst of Jon having to hear Damian’s heart get weaker and even hear it as it stops and Damian passes.
Also, the level of being emotionally attached to the love of your life and being someone who’s heightened in every sense hearing and seeing every detail of your spouse’s body shutting down and not being able to stop it like your life’s work of crime fighting has instilled in you to do but you have to let him go, he’s ready and you can’t take that away from him.
So there you are an industrutible man who has now found you’ve been destroyed and have to live without the person your every sense has grown so irrevocably accustomed to.
