#Damien who has just exposed his feelings to realize that he does not recognize him:“I will follow you until you remember me or wish to die”
Text
Goodbye bad feelings, hello empty memory.
Alright, I love the idea of Damian and Danny as twin who love each other very much but for some reason split up or didn't get along but learn to do so because they love each other more than they resent each other, really, I swear, but.... Danny never remembers anything from his time in the league.
Absolutely nothing, maybe he had some memories before he died for the second time, maybe he remembers Damian and he misses him, he is his brother and he loved him and.... not anymore, when he has his accident and dies for the second time his memory is lost, for a while he has a hard time recognizing his friends, he opens his eyes and doesn't know who are the guys that look so desperate in front of him.
Time goes by and although there are memories that never came back (he hardly remembers his first years with the Fentons, let alone the ones before that), he improves, learns to use his powers, gets closer to his friends, learns things again.
He discovers things in his room, something about a past he no longer knows, it bothers him not to know but even though he tries to remember nothing comes back, the name "Damian" causes him nothing, reading a little of what he wrote after researching the language he also doesn't recognize, he decides it wasn't important, not anymore at least.
He reads what he can and decides that yes, there are things he is fine without remembering, maybe he lacks context, maybe there is something there that he should discover or be more interested in a past that seems so mysterious but... if when he remembered him he thought he would be happy now that he was far away, maybe he was just as important as Dash, someone who unfortunately won't let himself be ignored but one day he will leave behind and never think of him again.
Life is good.
Or was until Robin, Gotham's vigilante, ambushes him with a heated speech full of pain and resentment while on "vacation" with his parents in Gotham.
Danny has had weird things happen to him before but he usually has context.
Robin looks furious and about to cry (if his unsteady voice says anything), Danny stares at him, from his hair to the way he moves, he pays attention to his voice and his sword but all he can say is "you know me?" without acknowledging him in the slightest.

Disclaimer: The characters don’t belong to me I just borrow them from Pixelberry!
I know there’s nothing left to cling to
“And why does this feel like drowning?
Trouble sleeping
Restless dreaming”
The ride back to the apartment is a thousand times lighter than before, since now nobody has unfinished words threatening to get out. But the melancholy in Catherine’s brown eyes, that every few seconds turn away from the road to him, just to make sure her Damien is still safe, is the same.
Damien notices how calmer she’s and there’s a smile on his face because he was able to help the woman he loves. Plus, he also can’t help the soft gaze at her, staring them  even longer to see her giggling and then arguing that this will cause an accident.
“It’s worth it. To look at you, the real you, that I can actually touch, ” He touches her cheek with his thumb for a brief moment. “it’s all worth it.” 
“Oh yeah, using a car accident that could cause the death of us both to sweep me off my feet, how romantic…”
She rolls her eyes but then the turns to the window, not being able to suppress the smirk on her lips, the one Damien catches in a glimpse from the rearview mirror. There’s nothing more like them than teasing each other. So Catherine’s comment makes both of them let out a big gasp of relief, like they are finally themselves again, together and safe after all. Just the two of them…
But not for long, the second they get out of the car there’s two giggling - drunk -, familiar figures holding beer cups next to their apartment building.
“YOU are BACK!”
Sloane throws her arms around Catherine’s neck when she approaches them. Damien following close behind and trying to repress a laugh. She gives her girlfriend a peck on the lips and holds her by the waist to prevent her from falling. Sloane’s clearly drunk and hums what seems to be a k-pop song while smiling widely for the three of them.
“She’s drunk. I wanted her to relax and then… things kinda got out of control…”
A very guilty, and totally sober Hayden, apologizes for letting their girl get drunk. At this moment Sloane tries to give Damien a hug and ends up almost hitting the ground in front of him, saved by his fast reflexes.
“Woah there, maybe you should try to stay in one still Sloane? I’m all done with hugs already, don’t worry.”
“You saved me!!! Oh Damien, you are so wonderful with Catherine and now you save me… really… you deserve a hug!”
It’s the blonde that holds her in place this time, passing her friend arms around her shoulders to keep her steady while they all turn to enter the building. She looks at Cath again, apologizing one more time and being dismissed by a sweet kiss on the cheek.
“Everything’s fine, we just have to make sure she has a cold shower, coffee and gets some sleep. No need to apologize, even though that’s not what I meant when we left and I said: have fun.”
“No, that’s what I meant.”
Damien interrupts as the elevator goes up and they both laugh. Sloane is quiet until they reach their floor, then she narrows her eyes and whispers to Catherine:
“WHere ArE wEEE????”
“Why are you whispering honey?”
“Because it’s dangerous, nobody can know that we are here!!!!!”
“Oh my god, you do need some taking care.”
Hayden sits her in the couch and goes straight to the kitchen make coffee, wanting to make herself useful and help her friend because she’s still pretty guilty. At least for once it’ll be her taking care of Sloane and not the other way around, the thought warms a little bit her heart.
“Where did… Hay…”
“She went to make some coffee for you.”
Catherine takes off her coat just by the time Damien closes the door behind him, then she sits next to her girlfriend and runs her hand gently on her back. Sloane holds her other hand, squeezing a bit strongly when she says:
“I don’t think I can drink any...thing. Cath, I-I don’t feel so good.”
Only then she realizes how pale she’s and that can only mean she’s about to throw up. So she helps her up and they make their way until the bathroom, but before they can get there Hayden intercepts them.
“I can take her, I think he’s waiting for you.”
She points with her head Damien standing next to the couch where they were sitting a moment ago, his eyes tell her that Hayden’s completely right so she nods to her before walking towards him.
“How’s she?”
“She needs some care, someone to hold her hair and someone, which in this case will be me, with the courage to give her a cold shower. So you can go to bed, you need rest after everything.”
“Can I help?”
“No, we’ve got this. Your…” Dames’s room. “ room is just the second down the hall.” 
She struggles to say the words, Dames memories still so very fresh in her mind. The guilt stained in every word. Catherine tries to deflect the subject by giving him a goodnight kiss, tender and long on those lips she missed so badly. 
“Goodnight D.”
“Goodnight Cath.”
“I know there's nothing left to cling to
But I'm still calling out your name
You're in my head
Always, always, always”
“Always, always, always”
About two hours later Sloane was finally feeling better, already cleaned up and stocked with hangover supplies in her comfy bed. Hayden lies down next to her, turning on the tv and putting on one of her favorite Netflix documentaries. She even asks Cath to join them, who politely declines. She can’t spend the night with them when her thoughts are on the man next door, and the man who’s probably trapped in an Eros cell.
“Are you sure you’re feeling better?”
“Yes… I think”
“Don’t worry, I got her.”
Hayden assures her and Catherine kisses both of her girlfriends goodnight, giving Sloane a special kiss on the forehead and saying for her to take care. After making sure they’re alright, Catherine leaves the room, closing the door behind her with a huge relief sigh before going to the kitchen get some water. 
Damien is still sitting on the couch, sleeping. And she can’t help the warmth that fills her whole body when she realizes he’s been waiting for her. Cath passes her hand through his hair in a loving movement, making his eyelids flutter open fastly and his eyes soften as they recognize her.
“You waited for me.”
“For the longest time and I don’t regret a second of it.”
He isn’t talking about tonight and she damn well knows it, Damien is telling her once again how worth it was waiting those years for them to be together. And mainly, he’s making sure she knows he’ll always wait for her, no matter what.
“I…”
Love you. That’s how she wanted to end the sentence, in this private moment between them when he’s exposing his feelings for her in such a pure way that made her heart swell but something stopped her: the door of Sloane’s bedroom opening.
It happens to be just Hayden going to get some water on the kitchen, she says goodnight to both of them and goes back to the room, leaving Cath with no courage to say those words. She feels a shiver down her spine and remembers her shirt is still pretty wet from Sloane’s shower.
“I’m gonna shower, do you wanna come?”
Damien simply stares at her with that cute little provocative way. So she adds:
“I promise I’ll behave.”
“I think you already promised me this today.”
“And did I missbehaved? I don’t think so.”
She says while already dragging him to her room, the only one with a big bathtub, which doesn’t take more than four minutes to be full and ready for them to shower. Damien stands in the door, an insecure look on his face because he’s not sure for how much of intimacy and contact he’s ready for yet. And he would hate himself for denying or disappointing her. As if she’s reading his mind, or better, his features, Catherine holds him by the waist gently and says:
“You can shower alone if you want, I’ll use the other bathroom. But I promise you that I just wanna be close to you and yes pamper you a little bit, for once you finally deserve.”
“Finally huh?”
“I can still change my mind you know?!”
Their teasing eases some of his worries and the way she’s touching him with all the caution in the world takes the rest away. She presses her lips to his for a long time, and then slowly backs away from him to start undressing.
He hasn’t seen her naked in so long and worse, she hasn’t seen him naked in so long, his body has suffered a lot and some bruises are still visible so they might be uncomfortable for Cath. So he takes his long time undressing, trying to ease his breathing and focus that they’re both alright and together again, not that she won’t be seeing the strong sarcastic man he’s always been. Everything has changed and he is afraid some of those weren’t for the best. Damien’s been paying so much attention to the memories of how they used to be that he doesn’t notice Catherine until she’s fully naked in front of him, taking his hand on hers.
“What’s wrong?”
When he finally settles his eyes on her body it’s clear that the memories don’t do justice to how amazing she looks and feels in the present. He dismisses her question by denying with his head, then he smiles and finishes getting undressed without taking his eyes off of Catherine.
Twenty minutes later Damien puts her legs over his in order for her to be more comfy and she smirks. Coming back with a silly smile on her lips Catherine takes both of his souppy hands and interlaces their fingers slowly.
“It’s nicer than I expected.”
“You have no idea how hot water can be underrated”.
She lowers her gaze to their laced hands, thinking about how he stayed in that horrible place for so long without having the comfort that she had makes her head dizzy. But as soon as Damien gets a glimpse of it, he pulls her to him, motioning for her to turn her back to his chest so that he’ll embrace her from behind. They stay like this for awhile and the feeling of warmth and contact dissolves her worry into nothing.
“I wanted to know if your new hair has anything to deal with what happened?”
She stiffens beside him and it feels like he touched a nerve, however she nudges even closer to his body before continuing:
“I just… it was a week after we found out about Dames. I simply couldn’t stand to look at me in the mirror everyday and see the person that let all this happen to you. So Nadia took me to a hairdresser and I changed everything, because the only thing I actually wanted to change wasn’t possible at the time. And now I guess it makes sense since we both changed.”
Cath nudges to his recent stubble with a sexy smile, when she thought he couldn’t look hotter, he managed to it. However Damien shrinks from her comment and whispers in her ear:
“Yeah, I’m sorry about that. I’m too tired to shave today but don’t worry, tomorrow I’ll do it.”
“No need. I like it… a lot.”
There’s such passion and true in her words that Damien can’t help but to kiss her nape, neck, ear and cheek. Every place his lips can reach with her back to him as his arms tighten around her.
“I like the new hair, when I thought you couldn’t look more beautiful hot that with the long hair… you go ahead and cut it short… and it just suits you, it’s amazing.”
“Really?”
“I wouldn’t lie about hair!”
He speaks as if she offended him deeply and she rolls her eyes.
“But truly, you look even sexier now Catherine. And I was pretty sure that wasn’t possible.”
Catherine takes a breath, his words sinking into her brain as a peaceful melody. She relaxes into his arms and smiles, wanting to stay like this forever.
To be continued...
