Prince Damian was supposed to be looking for someone to be married to. He was the one who was going to take the throne after his father since he was his only blood son. If he didn't find someone before he turned twenty one, the throne would go to his eldest brother, Richard, Dick Grayson.

At age eighteen, his family had tried to set him up with other royals who they thought he would date and very high leveled normal people. No matter the person, Prince Damian would be rude to them. Not even a half hour later, the princess or girl who they tried to set up with him would walk away, annoyed of him, or in tears since he insulted them.

When that would happen, his siblings would give him a look that asked him why. Why would he do that? It happened twenty more times before they had given up, knowing that no one would date him. He was too rude and no one would put up with him.

At age nineteen, Prince Damian had gotten Alfred to get him some normal clothes so that he could go out and be a regular guy. He wanted to see if he could find someone who might like him for his personality. Someone who didn't like him for his money. Every girl his siblings tried to set him up with always asked for something that was expensive since they knew that he would pay for it, instead of him.

He would go to this cafe and sit there. Sometimes he would be observing people, and sometimes he would be doing some type of work.

----------

Marinette was going out to go out. She was in a new country and wanted to figure out the place where she was going to live.

She left where she previously was because her enemy, Lila Rossi, pretended to be a princess of the sorts and had everyone believe that she bullied her. Marinette, knowing that she shouldn't be there anymore, packed her bags and left.

When she went out, she decided that she wanted to get something light to eat. She had spotted a cafe close by and went there.

She ordered a coffee and a pastry there. When waiting for her name to be called out for her food, she went to see if she could sit down.

Marinette saw that there was a place open, but that was too much space for her if she was going to be by herself. What if a group of people went there and wanted to sit there? She couldn't take their spot.

She saw someone sitting alone. She went up to him.

--------

"Excuse me sir?" Damian heard a voice call out to him. He looked up and saw a woman. "Can I sit here with you? There is an empty seat over there, but that's far too big for me." Marinette said.

Damian nodded. He had gone back to the work he was doing before she came over there after seeing her sit by him.

Marinette's name had gotten called out, and she went to get her food. When she came back, she put her food down. Seeing as it was okay for her to do something, she had taken out her sketchbook and started sketching.

During the five minutes she was with him, she kept stealing glances at him. She, secretly, was making something that she thought would fit him.

Randomly, out of nowhere, Marinette had said something that had him freeze for a moment.

"I really like your eyes." Marinette said.

Damian looked at her and saw her go red. Marinette didn't know why it had slipped out. She started saying how sorry she was about saying that.

Damian had stopped her from talking. He assured her that it was okay and that he liked her eyes too. They had stared at each other for a moment before breaking up the contact, going back to work. But not before the two of them blushed. Damian a lot less than Marinette.

---------

Damian and Marinette had met up at the cafe for the rest of the month. They would sit at the exact same spot. Sometimes the two wouldn't work on anything and would talk to each other the whole time. Sometimes they would sit in comfortable silence and talk only when they felt the need to. Sometimes the two would work on what they had to that day.

Damian's brothers had noticed that the heir to the throne was happier than normal. They had caught him on his phone, smiling at whatever was on there. They knew that he was normally smiled at was at the thought of killing them, but that was normally a smirk, not a smile. One of them had managed to take a peek at his phone and saw that he was texting someone. Of course they knew not to get their hopes up, but maybe it was someone that had caught his interest. They had known that their brother didn't just hang out with anyone or anyone, so whoever it was had to be someone special.

------------

Damian, at the end of the month, had asked Marinette to be his girlfriend. She said yes, not knowing who else she would rather be with.

A couple dates after that, at the same cafe, Prince Richard (I'm not putting Prince Dick) came and saw the two together. He saw that his brother was willingly talking to a stranger and was smiling and laughing.

Obviously he had to come in and say hi to his brother, only wearing a suit. When Damian explained that he was his brother, Marinette obviously asked why he was wearing a suit, not seeing a lot of people wear them. He had looked at Damian and he shook his head. Surprised by that, he just said that it was part of his job and she dropped it. Didn't ask any more and it genuinely surprised him that she didn't know who he was and that she wasn't the pestering type. And obviously, having to embarrass Damian, he invited her to have dinner with their family. She accepted much to Damian's annoyance.

When the time came, Damian picked up Marinette from the place she was staying. Damian led Marinette to the limo and they were off. On the ride, he had finally told her that he was Prince Damian, which had Marinette completely stop for a minute.

--------

When his family saw him and the girl that had caught his heart, they were wondering how he fell for her. Despite her being a complete burst of sunshine, they just knew that there had to be something else about it. It wasn't until dinner did they figure it out.

Damian was naming her accomplishments, which Marinette had told him to stop before he could even name one.

Apparently she had made clothes for King Jagged Stone, Queen Audrey, and many more people. Even better, she was the unknown princess, MDC.  When they went to look back at her, they just saw her flushed face and her hiding her head in her hands, asking him why he said what he did.

---------------

It was common to find Marinette there at their palace/manor. Her and Damian's relationship was going strong and everyone who had eyes could see it. Eventually, the news of Damian and Marinette had come out, along with her identity.

Her old friends and family had tried to befriend her when they heard the news and they had gotten a conversation with a very angry boyfriend.

Even if he didn't propose to her for a couple of years, he was still the heir of the throne until then. After all, he had found his princess to be with.





So here are the four out of seven chapters needed today. But anyways, my week was something. I replaced my phone for the newest version, found out I had a D in a class, changed the D to a B when the teacher took off one assignment as a grade, got a retainer, and beat one of the most athletic guys in my class because the dude couldn't kick a ball in the right direction. So yeah.
