“You all should be ashamed.” Alfred sternly tells to his young – and not so young – wards as all of them are kneeling on the floor, the elderly man quickly understanding what the group was doing as soon as he actually looked at the scene. “Master Dick, you are the eldest, married even, same for you master Jason and miss Cassandra, you are to be your older brother’s sense when his fails so gravely, I cannot believe that you would still partake on this type of behavior.” Aldred sighs in annoyance. “Master Damian trusted you all to behave during this dinner and you all have stepped on that trust, shame on all of you.”
Now that makes everybody flinch and groan, Cass even makes a little puppy whine.
“What is happening here?” Bruce makes himself known as he approaches alongside Selina and Woodlock to the room.
“I think they were busted while spying on the pup and the kitten, love.” Selina purrs with contained laughter.
“They wouldn’t do that.” Brucie says as he looks at his children like a scandalized old money lady, but Bruce knows very well that his children, especially Dick, Cass and Jay, would do it because they adore love stories the most.
“Oh, Daniel confessed?” Woodlock says with some surprise impregnating his voice.
“Wait, he reciprocates?!” Jason exclaims with wide open eyes but the glare Alfred directed his way makes him hide behind Dick.
Woodlock giggles at what he sees. “Well, he does reciprocate the romantic feelings but my boy is a bit slow reading his own heart and hasn’t realized that he is attracted to young Damian.”
“So, his heart knows but his head doesn’t.” Duke reasons aloud.
“Exactly.” Woodlock agrees as he nods his head once. “But if young Damian has already confessed then there is a good chance that Daniel will realize how he truly feels… but then again, there is also the possibility that Daniel panics, punches Damian on the face and runs away to never talk to Damian again, he is dramatic like that.”
“Dude.” Tim mumbles as he squints his eyes at Woodlock.
“I hope it’s the first one.” Dick says. “I don’t think Dami could handle well being rejected by Danny.”
“Yeah, I’ve never seen him behave like this before.” Steph adds. It’s just how Bruce behaves with Selina. She thinks.
“Then I guess all we can do is hope for the best.” Alfred wisely says. “And all of you are banned from cookies and pastries until I say otherwise.” The elderly man states as he pointedly looks to his young – and not so young – wards.
The siblings collectedly groan, which makes Selina and Woodlock giggle while Bruce fondly sighs.

“I like you… romantically I mean. I… would you go on a date with me?”
Damian’s heart is pounding so loud he feels like he is in a concert, right in front of the speakers as the merciless beat of the bass makes him feel like there is an earthquake happening inside of him. He feels himself turning colder as the seconds – eternal seconds – slowly go by.
Danny on the other hand feels how his heart cannot decide between completely stopping beating or stuttering like the wings of a hummingbird.
I just realized that I like-like him! I’m not ready to answer that yet!! Danny inwardly panics. And then Danny locks his eyes with Damian vibrant green ones, Damian is making the sweetest puppy dog eyes as his elegant eyebrows scrunch. Oh, no, I’m weak! Danny cries inwardly. You know what, fuck it. And with a swift movement Danny grabs Damian by the shoulders and kisses him on the lips.
Damian certainly wasn’t expecting that. First his eyes open wide in surprise and then he feels Danny soft, cold lips over his as his hands instinctually land on Danny´s waist as Danny moves his hands from Damian’s shoulders to Damian’s face.
The kiss is quick but grounding, nervous but strangely reassuring.
When Danny pulls away Damian still has his lips slightly pucked out, eyes wide and heart beating so fast Damian fears he might become a speedster right there and then.
“I-Is that a yes?” Damian stutters without blinking, the cold feeling of Danny’s lips on his own spreading all over his face leaving a trace of warmth.
“Yeah.” Danny answers and then bites his bottom lip. Damian puts all of his attention on Danny’s mouth at the act and a beehive goes crazy in his chest and stomach. “I-I also like you… for a very long time I thought I only admired you but I-I think that I’ve always have had a crush on you.” Danny says as he realizes that he indeed has been pinning after his friend for a very long time.
Damian’s forehead gently lands on top of Danny’s and both boys lock their gazes, Damian holds Danny’s cheek and sweetly pushes him into another kiss.
Reasons I find the Damian Wayne/Danny Fenton ship really funny (besides the ship name being Dead Serious which is truly bespoke):
Tim: Well, they say that kids often date people that remind them of their parents.
Damian: That is ludicrous. Danny is nothing like father or mother.
Tim: No, but look.
Danny: And than I said "Oh yeah? You and what toaster?"
Dick: *wheezing laughter* Oh my god, that's so good. I should use that!
Damian: *dawning horror*
Tim: Good luck buddy. I hope Danny at least knows how to dress himself properly.
Had the idea of ER nurse Danny and ER doc Damian working in the same ER.
Like their the same age but Danny was working there first (bc it takes less time to become a nurse than a Dr) and everyone in the ER loves him. He is the most component nurse they’ve ever had and is always cool, calm and collected even in the most stressful of times. Drs know that if shit hits the fan they can pass any patient that’s not dying right this second over to Danny and he’ll get them sorted all by himself, cracking jokes the whole time to keep everyone else from freaking out.
Then Damian starts working there and he’s basically a no nonsense Danny. Nothing fazes the guy. On his second day there he handled a gun shoot wound, spinal injury, rib fracture and stabbing all within an hour of starting his shift, all on different patients. He gets in, gets shit done and moves on as if he was dealing with a minor problem not 3rd degree burns.
Now these two, despite working at the same hospital, have never met. Bc Danny works the night shift and Damian works the day and every person that works there is so fucking glad that’s the case bc non of them expect them to get alone. Like Danny’s all wise cracks and jokes and Damian is all ‘stop wasting time’ so even tho they’re both efficient as fuck, no one expects them to tolerate each other.
Then on the first Halloween Damian works there, every member of staff is on shift bc it’s fucking Gotham and all the staff r just bracing for the inevitable fall out of two unstoppable objects colliding. Only it never happens bc these two get alone like a house on fire. Like yeah normally Damian gets up people goofing off but that’s bc their not doing work and just wasting time, he sees nothing wrong with Danny’s jokes bc he’s getting work done while he jokes. It’s like working with Dick, he honestly finds it a bit reassuring bc if Danny is cracking jokes it can’t be that bad. Danny on the other hand is just so glad to have someone else that can keep pace with him. Normally by this time of night he’s juggling 8 to 18 patients on his own with only minimal help from the on shift doctors but now Damian is right there with him and the two r basically tag teaming the hoard of mass casualties that just came in.
Needless to say that night Gotham general was the most efficient hospital on the planet and every doctor and nurse on staff have the horrible realisation that while they had mentally prepared for these two fighting, they hadn’t prepared for the fucking hurricane these two form when they get alone. 
Damian/Duke is trapped in a weapon (like one of those cool big ass anime swords) and it's up to Danny to get him back to normal.
Travelling back to the past seemed fun but unfortunately all the other heroes think he's a little crazy, and yes, he may have a few screws loose but his husband really is trapped in this weapon damnit.

How they met could be made into a book with the title Love At First Fight, because that's exactly how they met each other.
Danny had taken a route that was basically a dark alley, so there really wasn't no surprise when a couple of guys tried to rob him. Well, Danny was not one to back down and with a trusty steel pipe he found right next to the dumpster he began taking them down.
In the aftermath Danny's jeans had become ripped jeans but he wasn't sure if they could be considered proper clothing to wear anymore, which pissed him off so he got one more hit in with the steel pipe to the nearest man next to him.
Footsteps as light as they were still alerted Danny to one more thief in his vicinity. Without much hesitation he turned swiftly and dashed towards his opponent. Steel meet steel as his attacker counteracted his attack with a weapon of their own. Danny still had powers though, so using a bit more strength he sent the other's weapon flying in another direction, giving him the opportunity to strike.
He didn't know when he lost his own weapon but somehow him and his attacker were now fist fighting on the floor. It was only after the adreneline had calmed down somewhat that Danny was able to see he was fighting one of Gotham's heroes.
Quickly separating himself from the hero he profusely apologised before dashing off to deal with the action of beating up one of his favorite heroes.
What followed afterwards were a series of events that always ended up with the two meeting each other and engaging in a 'battle' of sorts. One thing led to another and for some reason they ended up kissing in the same dark alley they first met, away from any prying eyes. After that night things changed significantly.
Danny always knew the indentity of the one that became his love because of the otherness he could feel beneath their skin that reminded him of himself and eventually he told them about Phantom.
It took a lot more meet ups in secret before they were finally comfortable enough to officially meet each other's family and it had gone a lot better than they were expecting.
Sometimes they would help each other out on missions and this time was no different. They were dealing with another crazy magician who thought he could take over the world by using the power of an ancient deity. They managed to stop him but before he could be detained he fired of one more spell that trapped his boyfriend in his weapon and used some sort or artifact to send them careening through a portal.
Luckily for them they ended up with the JL, unluckily for them no one seems to know who they are.
____________
Flash: Are we sure he should be in the watchtower?
Black Canary: He's not doing anything bad, look at him.
Phantom using his lover as a swing: ^o^
Green Arrow: He thinks that's his husband trapped in there.
Black Canary: He could be.
Flash: How old is he anyways, he looks too young to be married.
Superman: C'mon everyone let's not talk about him while he's right there.
Greenlantern: Look at him! Does it looks like he cares?
Phantom still using his lover as a swing: ( ≧ᗜ≦)
Superman: It's still rude.

Based slightly off of Aba from Guilty Gear.
I imagine Danny pulling a Sayaka (from Madoka Magica) and stabbing the sword through him for a power-up and everyone panics for a hot minute before realizing he's fine.
