((For @dangerousdan-dan, HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY WONDERFUL FRIEND I hope you've had an amazing day! Here is some Steph and Damian fluff for you to celebrate! <3))

It had been a long, chilly night of mildly frustrating patrol, which meant Steph had passed out almost the minute she had gotten her suit off and fallen horizontal, still in her undershirt and leggings and with a little bit of mask glue stuck to the bridge of her nose. That could be future-Steph’s problem.

She was jolted awake what felt like five minutes later by a faint noise somewhere outside her bedroom. For a disorienting few seconds she struggled to yank her exhausted brain into full awareness, trying to remember where she had left any of her gear (she was pretty sure her utility belt and staff were in the living room, oops, not helpful, Stephanie), before she registered the soft sound of Japanese voices on the TV and collapsed facefirst into her pillow with a muffled groan.

There was only one person who would break into her place at stupid o’clock to watch anime.

She gave herself a couple minutes to wake up more and hunt down a hoodie and some slippers before she shuffled out into the living room. Sure enough, there was a lanky teenager curled up on one corner of her couch, his expression unreadable in the flickering light of the TV.

“Are you watching new episodes without me?” she asked, doing her best to suppress a yawn.

“You said you didn’t like this one,” Damian said.

Steph shrugged and flopped down next to him, sinking into the squashy cushions. “I also said those weird seaweed snacks were like eating fish food, but there’s still a ton of them in my cupboard.”

Damian gave her a sharp, startled look before getting up and padding into the kitchen. She half listened to him rummaging around while she tried to track what was happening on the screen. Some fast-paced sword fight, not that that narrowed things down much.

Damian returned with his snack and sat back down, noticeably less tense and subsequently taking up more space. It meant Steph had a bony elbow dangerously close to her ribs, but she couldn’t bring herself to do anything about it.

“So what’d I miss?” she asked.

“I can rewind it.”

“Nah, it’ll be more fun if you have to describe it to me,” she said with a grin.

Damian sighed and rolled his eyes, crunching a piece of seaweed very deliberately loudly, before launching into his (heavily editorialized) summary.

AKA sea mustard, qúndài cài (裙带菜) or hǎidài yá (海帶芽), fougère des mers, and miyeok.

A brown alga native to rocky shores of the NW Pacific, and cultivated there since the 8th century, but now a seriously invasive species in many other temperate parts of the world, although in some of those areas it's still collected as food.

Usually eaten in soups and salads.

Cute kelp! I was pleasantly surprised these were common picks for freebies. I was kinda expecting that folks wouldn't be into it, but they were. Yey! I do think, I'd change the color on the bull kelp. I took artistic license with them being green as it is. Kelp is really more of a yellow color anyway. Brown algae after all. But I still think they come out nice~
