Daminette December - Tree

Okay so heads up, not really sure how much I like this one but I hope you enjoy?

Also @noirdots is the coolest person ever.

------

Damian's brothers tried to convince him of auditioning for the school play, and after about 43 hours and 17 minutes straight of pestering, Damian caved and auditioned.  He auditioned for the lead male role. This year, it was a play of Romeo & Juliet.

Except Damian didn't make the cut.

The woman running the play said he was too emotionless, and didn't have enough chemistry with the already casted lead female, Lila.  The woman instead gave Damian another part.

Damian was the tree for the play, and not even the lead tree role.  Just the background tree role.

Damian's brothers wouldn't stop laughing at him for two whole weeks.  Bruce tried to he reassuring but Damian could still feel the awkwardness radiating from his father.

Damian sighed and was in a mood for the rest of the week.  He wasn't expecting to land Romeo, but I mean come on, the tree?

------

Marinette missed the auditions and landed the role of a background tree.  Someone reprinted the audition casting call flyers and printed it out with the wrong time, about an hour too late for the lead roles.  By then, everyone already called dibs on all the good roles.

Marinette groaned and felt like crying.  Her parents were extremely supportive. Marinette just sighed.  At least she got to make a few costumes for the play. And God damn it she will make the most gorgeous tree costume if it's the last thing she does.

Marinette stayed up all night practicing her best tree poses and making the best costumes for her and the other background trees.

When the next morning came, Marinette came in confident.

The woman running the play gathers everyone and sorts them into groups the next day.  Everyone is working with their assigned groups to memorize their lines, something Damian scoffed at.

Marinette excitedly ran around finding her group, but realized there was only one other background tree.

Damian realized this too, and once more eye rolled at what a pitiful role it was.

Marinette is jumping with joy when she shows him the sketches for the tree design.  He flips through them and they discuss what they like in each costume.

------

Marinette and Damian begin spending more time together, spending after school at the bakery studying and, "reviewing lines."  Marinette tried to show Damian how to make some of the props for the play, and although Damian didn't enjoy making props that much, he did enjoy spending time with Marinette.  In his book, it was worth it.

When the time of the play finally came around, Marinette and Damian were assisting the other actors and actresses backstage.  Bruce and the others were in the audience willing to cheer on Damian, while Marinette's parents had a camera at the ready.

Backstage however, was a nightmare.  The cast was arguing amongst themselves, and even some yelling could be heard by the audience.

When a scene between Romeo and Juliet finally arrived, Juliet/Lila was waiting on stage, but with no sign of the actor of Romeo.  By then, everyone was panicking. The play director began screaming and ordering out for other actors to improvise in an attempt to steer the attention of the audience away from the missing Romeo.

Actors and actresses ran out on stage and began making up a random plot off of the top of their heads' to improvise while the director was trying to contact Romeo backstage.

"Ah thou Juliet, as stunning as the sun, as mysterious as the moon...we have...uh...urgent news of thee the people whom beg for you to uh...act accordinglyishfully," one actress said.

"Oh my dearest friend, do tell I the news of despair, for the heart of my own can not stand the concept of injustice.  Do pray tell me the news," Juliet said.

"Um, my lady, I am the troubled soul that must tell you that uh there is...um...a terrible... tragic incident?" Another actor said.

"Oh please do tell me, I can not reside in the dark for any longer!" Juliet cried.

The actors and actresses were clearly panicking and freaking out.  No one said a thing while everyone struggled to find an excuse. There was dead silence as the audience sat in visible confusion.  No one could find something to say.

Suddenly, Marinette and Damian ran out onto the stage.  Marinette and Damian held their hands together and yelled, "Stop!  For we, the rulers of...the land of the tree, forbid your love to Romeo!" The audience gasped.  Damian wanted to hang his head against the wall.

Marinette just panicked and looked over at Damian.  Damian nodded.

"You absolutely barbaric humans have destroyed our planet, and have polluted our ecosystem!  Your life makes us disgusted. For you have the audacity, and thy has the nerve to dare oppose us and our teachings!" Marinette yelled.

The play director was screaming backstage while cursing up a storm.  She was questioning if it was too early to retire.

"What my Queen here has stated holds the truth and the standards to which we shall act upon!  For you humans have been too...uh, ungroovy for far too long, and the we the trees have come collect your debt!" Damian yelled while awkwardly doing a tree pose.  Marinette copies his pose to assert their dominance.

"What can this possibly mean?" Lila asked.

"It means, DUCK!" Damian yelled as he ripped off one of the fake apples from his costume and chucked it at her.  Marinette froze as Damian looked panicked. Suddenly, Marinette joined in and chucked another at one of the other actors.  Then, it was war.

One girl threw an entire chair across the stage, while a little boy tried to sword fight Damian on the stage using one of the fake swords.  Another little girl tried to use one of the fake vases nearby to throw at Marinette while Marinette just continued to use the apples from the costume.

Eventually, Damian pretended to be stabbed by the little boy and fell to his knees.  He fake cried out dramatically and then fell over on the stage. Marinette pretended to weep for his passing and then dragged him off the stage.

Backstage, Marinette and Damian were cracking up.

Marinette was rolling on the floor.  "Ungroovy? Really, Dami?" She was hugging her stomach while Damian buried his head into his hands.  He sat on the floor beside her and smiled at her as she was still giggling.

Suddenly, the stage lights shut off as the director of the play told them the play would be on pause until the actor of Romeo would show up.  The kids behind stage were still giggling and reminiscing.

Marinette finally calmed down as she hugged Damian.

"You're the best, you know that?"

"Well... that's a *re-leaf* to hear." Damian wiggled his eyebrows.

Marinette giggled and hugged him tighter.

TAGLIST FOR DAMINETTE DECEMBER HAS FINALLY BEGUN WHOOP WHOOP SO LET ME KNOW IF YOU WANNA BE TAGGED!

(. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)

@caffeinetheory @noirdots

ALSO ALMOST FORGOT TO ADD

[chaninfused]

Hi ^^ Hope I’m not bothering u or anything but since ur kinda bored(?) what kind of classmate do u think each member of skz would typically be? (Also, I love ur writing sm, pls keep up the good work!)

hello! (人 •͈ᴗ•͈) you’re not bothering me at all! and that’s an interesting question, hmm...

well, I think Chan would be that one student with good grades, who’s friends with everyone, the first one to speak to the new kid, probably part of the MUN, the one who always speaks up on behalf of the class, the kid teachers know the best, grew up in the school, everyone knows his siblings, the automatic leader of any event, etc. he gives off those vibes, y’know? 

Minho would be that one classmate who loves corners and back rows so he could sleep during biology and language classes. quite fun to talk to, however. makes a lot of jokes about wanting to die. procrastinates to no end. very talented. just... isn’t the biggest fan of school...

Changbin would be the rich classmate, will afford any crazy props needed for a class event, a servant would come carry his bag after school, has the fanciest lunch box, only talks to a few people, kind of stuck up, loves to get into trouble, constantly disses the other sections.

Hyunjin is every p.e teacher’s favorite. will probably be the one to lead stretches and warm ups, plays whatever sport during break time, demonstrates the proper way to dribble a ball and helps those who can’t do it, kind and approachable despite seeming intimidating, organizes class dances, is a good student too. 

Jisung, the kid who just loves to debate. will always have an opposing, controversial opinion. the sky is blue? wrong. Han Jisung will argue that it is only a construct made by human civilization- knows something about everything, everyone sighs when he raises his hand, the class is quiet without him, frets a lot about his grades, will be the one to ask a question and waste the rest of the class discussing it, can’t sit, outside class half of the time. oh, and he’s always looking for food. but no one would imagine the class without him.

Felix would be the kid who’s constantly scribbling on his textbooks, owns the messiest notes ever, probably has spilled coffee over his books at least once, looks distracted, answers flawlessly when called on, somehow has the most creative projects, knows his way around microsoft office like no other, talks about video games during break, sits with the oddities of the class. 

Seungmin would be the one who takes AP classes, asks questions that take the teacher more than a few minutes to answer, doesn’t talk in the class group chat, doesn’t share notes, purposely sits between cheaters in an exam to ruin their plans, will cover his worksheet, never late, probably spends break time practicing for SATs, no one dares to piss him off, is a completely different person out of school. 

and last but definitely not least, Jeongin, who only participates when called on. has to be invited to sit with others or else he’d sit alone, has been in the school since kindergarten, constantly asked to raise his voice, has the neatest notes ever, uses rulers and a specific color code in his notes, loved by certain teachers, never causes trouble, sits at the front row but in the corner, probably has tea on everyone, is really smart, been bullied in fourth grade for something stupid, is everyone’s baby, hyped up by the class during presentations, brings the same lunch everyday. 

ah, this is quite long but I had fun answering it! 🥺 I looked back at my own classmates to come up with these and... wow I miss my class 🤧 (we have all of these types in our class hehe) but anyway, I hope this was somewhat agreeable!
