3 Steps Back (meme)
Marinette stood awkwardly as she was confessed to, yet again. Before she could say anything, she saw someone rushing towards them in the distance.
“Um, can you take three giant steps backwards?” Marinette asked.
Confused, the person stepped back. In the blink of an eye, they found a dagger tip at their throat.
They looked up to see Marinette with her arms around some guy’s waist.
“Who is this guy?” he questioned, out loud.
“This is my very overprotective boyfriend.” Marinette smiled.
The guy paled and took another step backwards.
“Got it.” he announced and rushed away.
Marinette sighed as she let go of Damian.
“Habibiti, I could have handled him.” he declared.
Marinette leaned up and kissed him.
“I don’t want to call your dad and tell him your in jail for maiming.” she replied.
Damian rolled his eyes, putting the blade away, “He can afford to bail me out.”
“Like all the other times?” she questioned with a smile, “You’re cute when you’re jealous.”
“People should stop asking you out.” Damian huffed.
“I have an idea.” Marinette announced, “You have to wait until tomorrow. I don’t think you have anything to worry about after that.”
Marinette walked into school with a shirt that read: Property of Damian Wayne. Damian blushed at the familiar writing style. He had seen it on cheerleaders at forced functions. She had chosen a dark blue shirt and yellow colors. It was reminiscent of when he went to Gotham Academy.
“Is this helpful, Dami?” Marinette asked.
The people around them stopped what they were doing to stare at the pair. Damian said nothing, but grabbed her hand and pulled her further into the school. Marinette smiled at his approval. Damian tried not to flush red at the warning sign on his girlfriend. It was a giant keep away sign.
'Why hadn’t I thought about this sooner?’
Lila couldn’t believe what she was seeing. Marinette was wearing a shirt that flaunted Damian Wayne as hers. There was no way that was going to happen; not while she was around.
“Damian, ” Lila voiced in fake concern, “did you lose a bet?”
Damian merely glared at her. Marinette smiled from her place on his arm.
“It’s okay, Habibi.” Mari spoke, “It must be strange for her to see people like this; so happy.”
Damian smirked and looked down at her. Lila couldn’t believe that not only had Marinette talked back to her, but Damian Wayne had smiled at the goody-goody’s snarky comment.
“You’re one to talk.” Lila lashed out, “Everyone hates you! Who wouldn’t hate a bully?”
“You mean the pathetic rumors you spread around?” Marinette asked, “Only that one class believes you. The rest of the school laughs when your back is turned.”
Lila heard people giggle behind them. It wasn’t just one person, either. It was multiple people.
“Marinette is my property.” Damian declared, “The shirt doesn’t lie. She’s my girlfriend and has been for two years.”
Marinette smiled, “Damian got a little possessive when someone tried to ask me out again, yesterday.”
“That is twenty people, who have asked you out in the past five months.” Damian hissed.
“People?” Lila questioned.
Marinette blushed, “I’ve had girls confess to me, too. I don’t mind wearing the shirt. Hopefully, after today, I won’t have to stop Damian from attempting murder.”
Damian and Marinette walked passed Lila. Lila moved to the sidelines as other people started to speak up.
“Damn, Damian made sure to scoop up the 'Queen of the School’.”
“Do you expect anything else from a Wayne?”
