All In The Past || Damian & Bruce

Damian’s fingers delicately smoothed the surface of the long black cape, grimacing at the distinct memory it began to conjure. Though it was faint, he recalled finding the piece, securing the heavy cowl over his head. Underneath the shroud of dark fabric, a man claimed it as his. His father, unaware of his identity at the time.
Titus’s soft whines broke him out of the teenager’s brief trance. He turned his head towards his companion, scratching behind his ears with his free hand. A small grin softened his expression. Turning his attention back to the cape, he sucked in a breath. Just before he made his way down to his father’s room, he tapped the top of Titus’s head once, whispering for him to ‘stay.’ Titus made no objections the moment his owner stepped out of his room, draping the cape over his left shoulder.
By the time he reached the front of his father’s room, he knocked twice and waited for permission to stepped through the door. He carefully removed the cape from his shoulder, clearing his throat once in an effort to get his undivided attention.
“I know this is yours, so I might as well explain why I have it,” he said, presenting the article to his father with both hands, gaze wavering while he spoke. “Mother had it for a while until I took it when she wasn’t looking. I figured it was about time I gave it back when I should have done it years ago.”
