Daminette December-- So Close (And Yet So Far), Chapter Eight “Robin Hood AU”

———————————————————————————————————–

"What on God's good Earth are you wearing?" Felix asked Marinette as she walked up to him and Damian in the dining hall.

Marinette looked down at her Robin Hood costume that she had designed, complete with almost-accurate period boots and a 'money bag' instead of her normal backpack. "It's my Halloween costume! Duh! Why aren't either of you dressed up?"

"I refuse to dress up for such an idiotic pagan holiday," Damian stated, and Allegra (who had just walked up in a Maid Marian costume, also designed by Marinette) snorted.

"Of course you would say that, Wayne," she told him. "But if you change your mind, we have a Little John costume that would look fantastic on you."

"I would rather die." Again, he added in his head. "But thank you for the offer."

"Aw, are you sure? We'd be partners in crime," Marinette teased as she and Allegra sat down across from the boys.

"You know I prefer the vigilantes to petty thieves."

"Heroes," Marinette corrected.

"Vigilantes," her three friends replied in unison.

"I still think they're heroes," Marinette muttered. More than certain ones from a certain European country, anyway.

"Anyway, how was your dance class?" Felix asked the girls.

Allegra beamed. "It was so cool! My routine, not to brag--" Felix chuckled and was given a death glare before she continued, "was stunning, but Marinette was the best I've ever seen in any of my dance classes! I can't believe she isn't professionally taught."

"I guess I just have a knack for dancing," Marinette said, blushing. She really was bad at taking compliments. "I did take gymnastics as a kid, though, so maybe that has something to do with it."

"No, it has to be raw talent. Gymnastics may account for the flexibility, but the ability to dance the way you do is something else entirely," Damian said. The blank stares he got from his friends made him pause. Had he said something wrong? "What?"

"I don't think I've ever heard you give anyone a genuine compliment like that," Allegra told him.

"Nope," Marinette added, and Felix nodded.

Damian scoffed. "I can give compliments. I'm a great complimenter. The fact is that most of the time, you people don't deserve them."

"Sure, Dames," Allegra said, and Damian frowned at the nickname. He hated it, but it was impossible to change Allegra's mind after she chose a nickname.

"Back to Halloween," Marinette said, the tension now forming at the table making her nervous, "I would assume of you all hate the holiday so much, you wouldn't be interested in coming over to our room tonight and having a little Halloween party?"

"It'll be really fun!" Allegra added. "We can watch some movies, play games, trash talk professors and annoying classmates."

"That last option actually does sound intriguing," Felix admitted. "But I refuse to wear a costume."

"Fine," Marinette said. "As long as you come. We were thinking starting around eight, then staying up until whenever we feel like it?"

"Ah, I love when Halloween falls on a Friday," Allegra said. "No consequences the next day."

"There are always consequences," Damian told her. "Even when you don't think there are. You shouldn't be so lax about these sorts of things, especially in a city like this."

"You really think so little of me, Dames? Of course I'm careful and think about consequences in the real world, I just don't think it's necessary to work yourself up about staying up a few hours later than usual."

Before Damian could respond, Marinette put her hands up. "Eight o'clock. Yes or no?" She asked him. When Damian sighed and let out a defeated "Fine," Marinette smiled, proud of her triumph. "Good. We'll see you then. In the meantime, I’ve been sitting here so long that I haven't gotten any food, and I'm starving." When she got up and walked away, all sets of eyes at the table followed her, for three very different reasons.

Sorry this one’s kinda short. I had a lot of trouble writing, and I’m kinda losing the inspirational streak I’ve been feeling for the last few weeks. Updates will be sporadic, but I want to finish this fic in its entirety, no matter how long it takes.
