Can’t stop thinking about a jondami social media/streamers AU type thing. Jon has always posted on social media a lot, and when he’s in high school, he winds up making a YouTube channel where he plays video games. Of course, Damian is in most of these videos since they play video games together.
People obviously know that he’s Damian Wayne and are fascinated by him being on some random guy’s YouTube channel since he’s such a private person. Damian doesn’t even really have any social media, only Instagram where he posts occasionally about his animals and any charities he wants to raise awareness for.
To add to it, Damian seems almost nice (?) to Jon. He insults him a lot, sure, but it’s clearly playful. Everyone has seen videos of Damian threatening the paparazzi or arguing with his siblings, so they know he’s usually a lot rougher around the edges. It’s weird to see this side of him.
Over the years, Jon’s channel gets into other stuff too. Random social media challenges and vlogging and whatever else he decides he wants to do.
Without fail, Damian is almost always in these videos, and people start noticing just how close they are.
It becomes a full fledged conspiracy theory and there are these “proof” videos about them secretly dating. They’re all just clips from Jon’s channel of them staring at each other with heart eyes, or being a little too touchy, or the camera cutting at a weird point. It also doesn’t help that they’re both in college at this point, which means videos of them at parties together acting way too friendly start to circulate as well.
Damian and Jon never deny the allegations, but they never confirm them either. They really just don’t pay any attention to them and just keep doing what they’re doing.
Eventually, this all comes to a head when Jon’s live-streaming one day and Damian stumbles into the frame looking like he just woke up (he did, even though it’s like 5 pm, because the Bats are practically nocturnal), not wearing a shirt, and clear as day says “beloved, who are you talking to? Come back to bed.”
Jon cuts the livestream, but it’s too late. Practically the entire world knows they’re dating now. Not that either of them particularly care, they just didn’t find it necessary to tell anyone they were together except for their friends and families.
A few days later, they wind up making a video confirming that they are, in fact, dating and have been for a couple of years now. The internet loses its shit, but nothing really changes with the videos Jon and Damian post (except for the occasional kiss on-screen, of course).
