Damian balled his fist while sitting at his seat above the rest of the class (with his two friends) staring down at Anya.
He felt troubled, what would his answer be to the stupid, ridiculous, promise he made!
Rolling his eyes, the mathematics teacher cleared his throat. Damian snapped out of his daydreaming and looked around. Everyone turned their heads to their direction, their attention solely focused on him.
"Do you know the answer, Mr. Desmond?" The teacher asked, and his eyes frantically searched the board for the equation.
"U-uh, it's..56?" He doubtfully asked, and the teacher nodded with his eyebrows raised in surprise.
"Correct." The teacher announced, and everyone turned back around to face the board.
"Good one, Lord Damian!" Emile giggled, Ewen agreeing as Damian looked at the both of them.
"Mhm." Damian murmured, pressing his cheek on the edge of his palm. Now that he'd answer the question, his questioning thoughts could resume in peace & quiet.
He needed a simple answer and explanation to his father as to why he brought a commoner to their house!
Then again, she's doing my homework. This is a horrible idea! I might as well say no!
Damian nodded, standing firm with his final answer.
Unless Anya had a new, and improved offer, his answer stood.
~~~
SHOCK! SECOND SON WON'T SAY YES TO ANYA'S OFFER!
Anya's jaw proceeded to drop as she read Damian's mind, quickly turning back when she and Damian accidentally locked eyes.
Anya needs a new idea so Second Son and Anya can have a play date!
She crossed her arms, in deep thought to try and find a way to persuade Damian.
What could she possibly do to really have Damian give in and let her visit his house? She needed this, she needed to help her father with the mission!
Suddenly, an idea sprung in her mind.
Anya know's!
She sinisterly grinned as the plan was sent in action.
~~~
The bell rung, and like every other Thursday; the students basically ran out of the room and began crowding the halls. It was the last class, end of the day, and Anya had did the same with the rest of them.
Instead of taking their time like usual, Anya hastily packed her stuff as she ran off.
"Anya-Chan! Where are you going!" Becky called out to her as she ran after her, not sure where they were going.
Anya went to find Damian with Becky running behind her.
"You seriously think Damian's gonna let you do his homework?" Becky asked as she finally caught up with her, which Anya confidently nodded.
There was no way this couldn't have worked!
Finally, Becky was out of breath from all the running. Through her loud and definitely not calm wheezing (more like rapid), Becky called out to Anya.
"aH-ANYA!" Becky yelled, and Anya looked over. She took a step back and stopped in her tracks, raising an eyebrow.
"Hm?" She hummed in confusion.
"We'll find him! Let's just-just..slow down." Becky pleaded, and Anya nodded.
"Okay!" Anya smiled, now walking in unison with Becky. They continued to walk down the pathway until they saw a familiar green haired boy, with two boys next to him.
"See! He's right there!" Becky pointed to him, and Anya gasped. She grabbed Becky's hand and ran over towards them while not saying anything at all.
"And like I wa-" Damian proceeded to chat with his friends, but was cut off by Anya.
"SECOND SON!" She screamed, and all of them flinched while looking behind them.
"What's your answer?" Anya asked as she slowed down, Becky out of breath again.
"No. I'm not going through with the offer." He deadpanned; but Anya's jaw didn't drop, or her eyes didn't have tears in them.
Instead, her usual smirk sneaked onto her face.
"Heh..heh. Anya has a new offer." She chuckled, and Damian's eyes widen.
"What?" He blurted out, and Anya nodded.
"What's the most-most..worst thing you've done in school!" Anya asked, and Damian groaned.
"What? How does that relate to any do this?" He replied.
"Just think, because Anya already knows." Anya grinned, and Damian's eyes widened even more.
W-what? No she doesn't!
Damian clutched his fist, finally deciding to think about it.
I..one time I did fail that test, and I never told father about it.
Anya smiled as she now knew it, now she'd just use it to toy with Damian until he let her in his house for a play date!
He was disappointed anyways, since I didn't earn a single Stella. Like always.
Anya's smile dropped as she looked around, Damian finally snapped out of his trance and looked back.
"You definitely don't know!" Damian pointed at her and he was sure she didn't.
"Second son is afraid of your Papa being disappointed?" Anya said in a confused tone, and Damian's eyes widened in horror. (yes i know it's probably the third time this happened lol)
"Mmh-Uggo! Dammit, fine! You can come over! I-I'll!" Damian looked in his backpack for a blank piece of paper, grabbing a pencil too.
He wrote down his address and handed it to Anya.
"Bring your dad or mom, I don't care who comes with you tomorrow." Damian mumbled, walking away.
"Just don't tell anyone, okay, dammit!" Damian swore, yelling out to them as he scattered.
"D-Damian-Sama!" Emile and Ewen quickly followed him as they also left. Becky's jaw dropped as she looked around.
"Di-did he just say yes?" Becky clarified, and Anya's smile only widened as she jumped around.
"Second son just said yes!" Anya cheered as she giggled with the note in her hand running off without Becky.
"Anya-Chan! Where are you going!" Becky asked loudly, shouting practically.
"To the bus!" Anya excused herself.
"But the bus doesn't come until 10 minutes!" Becky confusingly answered, but Anya was almost out of sight.
"At least let me walk and wait with you!" Becky proposed, running after Anya with one hand holding down her beret so the wind's so-threatening breeze to her fashion style couldn't ruin it, and the other hand holding onto her backpack strap.

"Papa! Mama! Anya is home!" Anya announced, walking inside the apartment as Loid stepped outside.
"Good afternoon, Anya. How was school?" Loid asked, and Anya nodded with a wide grin.
"It was great! Anya even got something from Second son!" Anya giggled, which really brought Loid's attention to her. Second son? Damian? What could she have possibly gotten?
Considering the fact that Anya was smiling and giggling, it couldn't be too bad.
"What is it?" Loid asked, and Anya proudly showed him a teared off piece of paper (from which he was guessing a notebook) and read an address in a somewhat sloppy but neat handwriting.
Loid's eyes widened at the sight, could this be?
The Desmond's household address?
"It's Second son's house! He said tomorrow Anya and Papa or Mama can go!" She smiled proudly, and Loid couldn't help but do the same either.
"Tomorrow?" Loid asked, and Anya nodded excitedly.
"That's-that's great!" Loid smiled, and Anya started jumping up and down.
"Hey, I know tomorrow your mother has overtime. I'll come with you then, since I'm assuming his father would probably like to meet your parent." Loid reasoned, which Anya absentmindedly nodded to. She really couldn't comprehend everything Loid said and what he was thinking of inside his head.
"Can Anya watch TV!" She asked with excitement, and Loid nodded.
"Sure. At 6:00, we'll start your homework." Loid suggested, and Anya nodded in agreement. She quickly ran to her room, changing in 5 minutes with nothing but her at-home gown. Her school bag and uniform was already off, and she settled down on the floor with Bond.
He softly barked as Anya played with him for a brief second before turning on & watching Spy Wars!
Loid stared at them playing, his smile slowly faded as he realized how difficult it would be for Anya if she had lost this family.
Loosing probably the only parents who really did actually try their best to take care of her, Bond, the dog she loved so much, her friends even.
But thinking about it, Becky could've been the only friend Anya had.
One of the closest ones!
Taking Anya away from the only chance of actual family is going to be disappointing, which only adds another reason to why I need to keep the role of a father for this mission.
Loid sighed at all the weight he felt, but he'd need to make some sacrifices if he did want to make this world a better place.
