A/N: Sorry for the SUPER late update guys. I honestly have no excuse for this being way overdue. I hope you all had a great Christmas though, and a very happy New Year! (Please forgive me!) Anyway, enjoy!
At exactly 6:33 in the morning, Damian Wayne woke up, and checked his alarm clock. It was finally Christmas! He wouldn't admit it to anyone, but ever since he and Dick spent their first Christmas together, he looked forward to that holiday. He was after all, still just a kid.
Damian immediately got out of his bed and put his slippers on, before slowly opening his door. It was silent, so Damian guessed everyone else was still asleep. He silently crept to Dick's room, knowing he could trust his other brother not to make fun of him for doing so. Because if Drake or Todd knew he got excited over Christmas…
Yeah.
Damian opened Dick's door, earning a slight creak from it. He heard Dick groan, and then saw the older boy sit up. "Ugh…Damian?" Dick said as he rubbed his eyes.
"Tt," Damian replied. "Get up." He started to go downstairs, while Dick barged into everyone else's rooms to wake them up. Before either of them knew it, everyone was downstairs. Bruce was looking especially annoyed and groggy, but Dick was trying his best to lift Bruce's spirits. Soon though, everyone was opening their presents, and trying to guess who their secret Santa's were.
"I know you had me, replacement!" Jason smirked at Tim.
Tim scowled. "I did not-"
Dick sighed. Okay, maybe it had been a kinda bad idea to do secret Santa's with a group of people who all happened to be great detectives. He himself could have easily figured out who had gotten him, but where was the fun in that?
Dick grinned as he picked up the gift from his secret Santa. He looked at each of his brothers, eyeing them suspiciously, and smiling. "I wonder who it's from," he said. Tim and Jason looked at each other with un-amused expressions on their faces.
"It was obviously Damian," Jason whispered. "Why else would he be so excited?"
And Damian was indeed excited, though you would have to know him well to see it. The slightest of slight smiles was on his face. Dick, however, seemed completely oblivious to it all.
After everyone had opened their presents, Alfred presented them with a grand breakfast. Usually, the family's butler never joined them for any meal, but they made him today. Christmas was a day you should celebrate with your family, after all, and Alfred was definitely a huge part of this family.
So all-in-all, it was a great Christmas, and holiday season for the Bat-Family. Surprisingly, there was a minimal amount of arguments. Even Damian and Tim managed to pass by each other without throwing an insult at the other (though they still glared at each other. It was an improvement though), and it was a nice change for once. Even if it was just for one day.
Dick and Alfred were both clearly pleased by this, repeatedly saying how it was a Christmas miracle. Damian only replied, "Don't taunt me Grayson," but Dick just smiled and ruffled the younger boy's hair. Damian didn't even argue.
Yeah, it was a great Christmas.
End to 25 Days of Batfam
