Then put your arms on my shoulders, [ she says, stepping closer ] and close your eyes. Just for a second.

[ This feels like a trap. Damian frowns immediately, folding his arms uncomfortably across his chest. His face feels hot - not in the 'I'm about to catch fire' way, but in a way he isn't actually sure how to peg. Embarrassment, maybe? ]
What are you trying to pull?

[ ... she probably should've expected that. ]
There's something I want to show you, but I want it to be a surprise. [ her smile's dimmed, but she's determined!! the plan has been hatched and she's gonna follow through, dammit. ] Just--if something goes weird, you have my permission to do whatever you want to get back at me. How's that?

[ None of this sounds promising. Or - it might if he were a different sort of person. She's insistent, and he's fairly sure she's not about to throw him into a wall to test her strength or something.

You won't. [ she slips her arms around his waist and holds on tight. ] I promise.

Open your eyes.
