Life's not fair. [Damian didn't just say this all the time to be sarcastic. It was a fact. A harsh fact that he's come to terms with more than once.
Was it fair the al Ghuls raised him to be a killer? That he was kept secret from his own father most of his life? That he was forced to choose between his father and mother? What child should ever have to make that choice? He did. So no, life wasn't fair. It was cruel and didn't care whether you were an adult or a child. Terrible things happen regardless of who deserves them or not. That’s why it needed people like them to bring justice when life was just being an asshole.]
I don't know what I deserve-- [He softly grunts when Jon squeezes him tighter. It didn't hurt, it was just surprising. Still, he'd let Jon get away with hugging him this long, why stop him now? He awkwardly pats the boy's back, since well, he was supposed to be the one comforting him, right?]
