Day 11: Holding Hands

this one sucks but oh well i finally got around to writing some miridami content reeeeallllly hope i'll write more in the future because i love these two so much, but for how we got this :)

Read it on Ao3! Word count: 1k

“By the way, my dads want you to come over for dinner tomorrow.”

Miranda paused, just for a second, before readjusting herself and putting her fork down on the plate. Damien, who sat across from her, refused to make eye contact. His eyes bore into the lava cake that was in front of him, as he chewed on his fork.

She smiled as she placed her hands into her lap. “That sounds lovely! I’m sure Daddy would love the idea; I’m not sure what they want to discuss, seeing as the peace treaty between our kingdoms still has a few decades until it expires, but I’m sure whatever concerns they have will-”

“No no, you’re not getting it. They want to meet you.” 

She frowned. “Damien, I’m sure you know that I’ve met them plenty of times. Do they not remember all the pleasantries that were exchanged at the many galas?”

“I mean, yeah, but they wanna meet you. Like, the real you, outside of galas and parties and nice small talk. They wanna meet Miranda Vanderbilt, not Princess Miranda, the third daughter of the Merkingdom or whatever.”

She paused again. “Oh.”

Damien propped his feet on the small cafe table, nearly toppling over their shared strawberry lemonade. A staff member of the cafe they were at would’ve said something, if not for the time Damien stabbed one of them.  “Yeah, ‘oh’. Anyways, so I was thinking of like, saying Brian got into an accident or something. Or maybe Zoe can drag us into some eldritch shit. Or maybe we can ask the Coven to do some magic shit to get us out of it!”

“Excuse me?”

“All I’m saying is our options are open. As long as we don’t go to that fucking dinner, I’ll be happy.”

Miranda furrowed her brow. “And why wouldn’t we go? I think having dinner with your fathers will be wonderful!”

“Yeahhhhh no. It will not be fun, it’ll be the exact opposite of that. Like, imagine all of the fluffy unicorns and rainbows and sprinkles, and then condense it into a small ball and destroy it. That’s what dinner with them will be like.”

She giggled, and cut off another piece of her slice of strawberry shortcake. “Damien, dear, I think you’re being a tad bit dramatic.”

“Wha-no I’m not! Miri, you don’t know them like I do!”

She tilted her head, and offered a smile. “What will be so bad about it, then?” She reached over the table, and placed her hand on Damien’s, patting it sweetly. “I personally don’t see any problems with doing a proper meeting.”

It was always easy to make Damien flustered. He pulled his hand away, sputtering and refusing to meet her eyes. Her smile grew more.

“I don't get it, Miri. They’re gonna ask you questions, and it’s gonna be embarrassing, trust me. This is them seeing if you’re like, a good fit for me or some shit. As if I can’t pick my own partners just fine…” The last part was left muttered, and he shook his head. “Point is, it’s not gonna be enjoyable or a walk in the park. It’s gonna be the worst thing in your life, the lowest point, the worst fucking thing imaginable.”

“Surely it can’t be as bad as what my daddy would have you do,” she insisted. Damien barked out a laugh.

“What, fighting against ten of your army’s strongest fighters, and saving you from an evil dungeon or whatever? Sounds like a fucking dream!” He twirled the fork around his fingers. “Would love it if my dads did that. But nooooo, they ‘need to get to know my partner’ and ‘want to see if I’m happy’ and ‘support my decision and opinion but still at least want to form their own judgement’, or whatever the fuck they said.”

“Sounds like they just love and care for their only son,” she cooed, causing Damien to scoff and bite into his cake. She clasped her hands together. “I think I should go! Besides, do you really doubt our relationship so much that you don’t want me to meet them?”

“What?” Damien looked up, seemingly alarmed by this. He sat back up, his feet put back down on the ground, with his plate back on the table.  “No, of course not! I mean, I just really like what we have going, and I don’t know if trying to move into something more is something we both want. Not that I don’t want it, I mean, I just know the whole ‘meeting the parents’ thing is stressful and sorta makes things a bigger deal than they actually are. I don’t know how you wanna label this thing we got going on, or even if you want to, but actually going to have dinner with my dads is like a big step, and I know I shouldn’t make a big deal out of it, ‘s not like they’ll actually do anything bad and we can take our relationship at any speed we want to, but-”

Miranda hummed, interrupted her boyfriend. “I think,” she started, “that we should go. I think it will be fun! Your parents are lovely people and I think they will love my company! Who wouldn’t? I’m a joy to be around!” The serfs around her nodded feverishly in agreement. She left an outstretched hand on the table, and gave Damien an expectant look. “And if you are so worried about our ‘label’ as you call it, then we can discuss it afterwards. Okay?”

Damien stared down at her hand, and then looked back up at her. She gave a patient smile. He sighed, and placed his hand in her’s. “Alright,” he said. “We’ll go to that stupid dinner. But afterwards I get to use your hairspray to make a flamethrower.” He then got a little sheepish, and added, “your’s works better than mine does. Makes cooler and bigger flames.”

She giggled once more, and squeezed his hand lovingly. “Of course, dear.”

bunni please talk about miridami + if you want to, liam and damien (platonic) they mean so much to me

thank you thank you thank you tha-

okay so yeah Miridami? basically me dying over the aesthetics. main reason why i ship them is aesthetic reasons lmao cause like cutesy princess x bad boy prince is sooooo good actually. idk it's just. so pretty. so badass. its perfect in everyway. love a lil mermaid who just goes "*puffs out cheeks* guards take him away; maybe an execution will make him change his mind" and its so fun and shes adorable. damien loves it and finds her so cute when she gets all murder-y. and miranda loves damien very much, mainly because she loves the idea of a knight in shiny armor coming to save her in her tall tower--like from a fairytale, but with a lot more fire and murder. and also the small arc miranda goes through with trying to change damien into a "true prince" that she's always dreamed of and told about from her family, but slowly learning that she loved damien for who he was. that while she did daydream about a dragon-slaying hero, she also fell just as hard for a dragon-slaying demon who did the job just as well (just with more fire and more of a chaotic-neutral then a lawful-good). like hes just as cool and hot and he just takes her breath away. also her favorite thing to do is make him flustered, because he gets all red and warm (which is like his normal state but shhh), and he gets all embarrassed is is very cute <3 and also damien just loves her so much. miranda is just so cute and is passionate about art and her kingdom. and yeah, the merkingdom is a bit of a touchy conversation, mainly because he very much disagrees with how her family runs it, and wishes she could see how bad things are there. they disagree on a few things (especially that specifically), but i can see them both growing from the relationship. i can see miranda possibly learning that just maybe the way the mierkingdom is being run is sorta bad, and damien learning to enjoy other people's company and being more open in his interests with others. idk i just love these two so so so much and this ship is very good imo. love them so much

(putting second half under readmore because this is getting kinda long ^^;;;)

also thank you for asking for Damien & Liam, because you are so right, these two mean the world to me and is like my top platonic pairing for liam personally (he and zoe is like a very close second tho) because like,,,,these two. they understand each other. despite liam's skepticism, damien does understand him. he understands liam's want to bury his interests, his need to be cold and aloof. okay, he might not understand or know why, but he gets it, at least a little bit. he can understand and empathize. and liam understands damien....a bit. okay he doesnt really understand why damien does these idiotic things and why he doesnt think things through but eh. hes entertaining to be around. plus, sometimes he can be sorta chill, and i think liam likes to hang around someone like that. he generally gravitates more towards people like vera or polly because (while polly is usually v loud and eccentric), they can be quiet and be serious when need be. and idk i feel like liam could get pissed over the fact that damien says he understands, but when in fact he really fucking doesnt but...idk something about damien caring tugs on his cold and rusty heartstrings. and also he very much appreciates the fact that damien keeps up the facade along with him of not caring about his shit. that he doesnt care about whatever liam's talking about, but is in fact paying attention to the fact that liam likes the restaurant down the block because they kill their humans in the most humane way possible. idk damien acts aloof and all cool like, and i feel like even though its a bit obvious to liam that hes faking it, he still appreciates it in a weird way. and like damien likes how straight forward liam is. because he is in fact the straight man of the group, and damien finds that hilarious. and hes fun to tease and bring about on dumb adventures. and hes just so brutally truthful, and damien appreciates something like that. hes just someone who is easy to talk to, and doesnt hold back on criticism and the truth. and surprisingly liam was the one who made damien accept himself and who he was, that he can still be a total badass but still be into drag and makeup, that he can enjoy whatever the hell he wanted to enjoy. which is ironic because sometimes he it feels like liam doesnt enjoy anything. but its def more of a "do as i say and not as i do" because liam doesnt really let himself enjoy mainstream things as much as he should so :/ idk i feel like in the end those two just have a lot of quiet bonding moments. times when no one else is around and they pour their hearts out, and then pretend it never happened the next morning lol but these two have a lot of potential i feel like; they're opposites and yet understand each other on some sort of level, and idk i feel like they're just very good friends (and dont make me mention the caganer ending in prom because i have SO many feelings on it. liam is invited for the holidays in the LaVey household and that's that on that)
