"Hey did you know that Desmond and Forger were seen at the library together?"
"Damian and Anya were bickering in the library when I saw them!"
"How sweet of her to teach him Classical Language!"
Those were all the stuff Becky heard as she walked down the halls of the school. And that wasn't all that they talked about, they were the number one trending topic in their entire school campus. Every little move of them being caught would be talked about for days. It would even be weeks if it was something major.
Becky sighed. Firstly, her best friend of ALL time got herself a boyfriend (no they're actually still pining and it's been like that since first year), and secondly, she realizes she's now walking to school alone without her best friend. She's very happy for Anya but THIS DESMOND! He has the audacity to steal her best friend away from her!
She also seemed to notice Emile and Ewen whispering along the hallways and happened to hear a small "Bossman's been trying to confess for four years, should we step in?"
"Glad to find out I'm not the only one." She sighs as she walks up to them and pats them both on the shoulder. She might as well attempt to get along with Desmond's minions if their best friends start dating (which she hopes will finally happen because she will NOT be patient to wait for another 70 years).
"It's so stupid! He kept saying all these years that he hated her!" Emile dreadfully responds, and Ewen pats him on the shoulder.
"If Bossman is happy, then we're happy. I think." Ewen sadly said, and that definitely did NOT sound any happy at all.
"But this is so unfair! They don't even get along! They're complete opposites!" Becky exasperatedly says. "Everyone makes bets on them here and there, so when are they finally going to date?!"
She wasn't completely wrong on the "they don't get along" part, but she definitely wasn't right. Because it's totally not like they held hands whenever Anya was feeling cold. It's totally not like Damian asked Anya to dance with him during their annual prom night. It totally isn't like Anya and Damian are absolutely head over heels with each other, totally not like that.
"I've had enough of this!" Becky slams her fist onto the palm of her hand, her eyes lighting up as if she had won the lottery.
"I have decided to initiate Operation Love: The DamiAnya Campaign!"
"The... what?" Ewen and Emile look at her in confusion.
"It will be like those Spy movies Anya liked!" She excitedly exclaims, just in time when the bell rings. "I'll explain it later in class! Anya and Damian will be out because Master Henderson had asked them to do something, so let's seize the opportunity!"
Ewen and Emile had absolutely NO idea on what she was talking about, but they nodded in agreement as the three of them went to class together (Becky found out they weren't so bad after all, they made her laugh and were generally nice if you got to know them.)
"Anyaaa!!" Becky runs to Anya and gives her a big hug, while shooting an evil glare at Damian, who was standing beside her. "Where have you been?! I couldn't find you anywhere!"
"Oh! I was with Sy-on boy in the library!" Anya responds a little too loudly, sparking up heated discussions in the classroom.
"You really didn't have to mention my name, did you?" Damian blushes, and Emile and Ewen tackle him with a big hug.
"It's true! We were at the library together! Oh anyways! We have to get going, Master Henderson called for me and Sy-on boy, good luck in your classes, Becky!" Anya gives Becky a big hug before walking out the classroom.
"Talk to you two later, Emile, Ewen, and good luck Becks." He waves at both Emile and Ewen and sticks his tongue out at Becky before leaving, with Becky rolling her eyes.
Now that they've finally left, Becky initiated the Operation Love.
"Okay listen up!" She slammed on her table to grab everyone's attention. She clears her throat before she speaks. "I know all of you are tired of Anya and Desmond pining for God knows how long, is that right?!"
"YES!" Everyone was screaming and yelling, talking loudly about the infamous ship before Becky slams on the table once more. "Silence!" She yells at everyone, before the class turned quiet.
"I have decided... that we will initiate Operation Love, the DamiAnya Campaign!" She speaks loud and clear just like a president, with everyone screaming in joy and agreement. "With my co-heads, Emile and Ewen, we will thoroughly lead this Operation for a successful future!" She raises her water bottle, and everyone reaches into their bags to grab their water bottles.
"To DamiAnya!" She exclaims.
"To DamiAnya!" And they all took a sip of their water bottles.
This was going to be a fascinating week.
...
Becky had spent out "spies" to find Damian and Anya wherever they went, she gave them actual salaries and made sure that they reported to her (or Emile and Ewen if she wasn't present) if they found anything.
Now, she had a very long list of what her spies had found out, but these moments were some of her personal favorites:
1. A spy hid behind a wall by the garden area, where she had caught Damian feeding peanuts to Anya.
"You're quite a needy girl, aren't you?" He sighs as he cracks open a peanut for Anya to eat.
"Peanuts are yummy, and I'm quite lazy to open them myself, so I'm sure Sy-on boy is strong enough to do that!" She happily responds as she chews on a peanut, that's right! Sy-on boy was a strong guy! Damian blushed and got flustered before falling upside down on the bench and into the water fountain.
"Sy-on boy?!"
2. Another spy was watching Damian and Anya in the library behind a bookshelf.
"No, no the answer is C!" Anya argues back at Damian.
"How?! It's literally-"
"Because it literally said in the textbook!" Anya frowns and proceeds to open her book and flip to the page. "See?!"
"Okay fine." Damian rolls his eyes and goes back to his book before speaking. "You like classical language, huh? I hate this shit." He sighs as he lays his head onto his book.
"Yep! My Uncle Yuri teaches me it!" She happily says as she watches Damian read his book, lovingly look at him as if he was someone precious to her.
"Since you actually got a score higher than me for the first time... should I get you a bag of--" Damian was about to offer a bag of peanuts when he looked up to Anya and realized she was staring at him. He gets startled and blushes furiously, jumping back and making his chair lose balance before falling off his chair.
"Sy-on boy?!"
"W-why're you s-staring at me like that?!"
"I'm sorry!"
3. They even have some moments in the classroom, apparently. Spies really do work nonstop, especially when your salary is over 300 dalc for a highschool student.
Anya was sleeping on her book, when Damian was passing by her table and happened to notice her. He decided to walk up to her to annoy the living shit out of the sleeping girl (spoiler: he couldn't annoy her in the end.)
"Hey idiot." He taps his Math notebook onto her head, startling and waking her up.
"Huh? Did- did class end?!" Anya was quickly looking around the room here and there, trying to see if there was a teacher.
"It just ended, this is why you don't sleep in class. See, you have marks on your face now." He sticks his finger up her right cheek, and suddenly blushed. 'Ohmygodholyshitthat'ssosoftandsquishyshe'stoocuteshe'ssocuteI'mgonnadie"
"Sy-on boy? You're touching my cheek." Anya deadpans as she confusingly stares at him with dotted eyes, with Damian being flustered and his face heating up, and the next thing he knew it, he fell on the floor next to her seat.
"You fell again?!"
"I'm fine!"
...
This will do. This research very much made Becky absolutely satisfied. She stood up to complete her weekly report of the Operation Love when all of a sudden one of their spies yelled.
"It's Anya and Damian! Back to your seats!!!!!" Everyone was rushing and in a hurry to get back to their seats, and the class suddenly went silent when Anya and Damian came in.
"But Bondman in the second movie was-" Anya was talking to Damian about Bondman's lack of character development in the second movie when she realized the class was extremely quiet today. "Why're you all so quiet?"
One of the students nervously laughed at the statement. "Ahaha, what do you mean...?"
Damian was examining the room and saw a paper on the floor. Curious on the contents, he picked it up and Becky had just hit the realization that on that paper was the list of all the times they had been seen together and the information some of her spies had gotten for her, Ewen and Emile. She silently cursed and wanted to distract Damian, but too late, they were reading what was inside it already.
"Operation... Love...? What is this...?" Damian's ears turned red as he read what was written on the paper, and felt like he was going to fall and possibly die of a heart attack. Anya went closer to Damian to take a look at the list.
"Heads of the Operation, Becky, Emile, Ewen..." She then turned to the direction where Becky, Emile, and Ewen were sitting at, and they pretended not to hear what she had just said, when all of a sudden Becky stood up, fist on table.
"I've had enough of the silence!" She courageously claimed, confusing Damian and Anya even more. Mutters and whispers were heard all around her, and Anya swore she heard someone mention "Damian and Anya's relationship" and "DamiAnya".
("What's a DamiAnya?" Anya tip-toes as she whispers into Damian's ear.
"Our names together, stupid. Damian and Anya. Prolly something Becks made up." Damian rolls his eyes.
"Oh.")
"Me, Emile and Ewen will confess!"
"Becky? Confess what-?"
"We had a spy mission!" Hearing that from Becky, Anya's eyes lit up. "Spy mission?! Why didn't you tell me?!"
"It's not the silenced pistol boom boom shit type of spy mission, dumbass, it's different." Damian angrily sighed. "Let Becks explain it to you."
"Don't call me Becks, bitch! We aren't friendly-friendly anyways!" Becky argued back before she continued to speak. "It was a mission... on seeing if you two made progress on your relationship."
Anya dunbfoundedly stared at Becky. "What relationship?" Damian coughed and his face turned an even brighter shade of red.
"You two have been pining on each other for so long!" A student cried out.
"We made an operation to see if you two would be dating already!"
"You guys were so cute so we planned this!"
"Becky got tired of y'alls shit!"
Continuous yells, murmurs and whispers from the classroom were heard until Damian slammed his fist onto the teacher's desk.
("Why did you slam your fist on the teacher's desk?!" Anya whispers to his ear as she tip-toes.
"It's the only way for them to shut up.")
"Firstly." Damian puts one finger up and shows it to the whole class. "Why the fuck did you join them, Emile and Ewen?"
"Sorry bossman, we got tired." Emile and Ewen both say in sync as they tilted their heads facing down in shame.
"Secondly, why did you all agree to this?" He points out two fingers and with a stern expression, "calmly" asks the class.
"BECAUSE DAMIANYA!" Everyone yelled in sync.
"Just please, Desmond! Go confess to my best friend Anya and end all our suffering!" Becky pleads him and was on the verge of crying.
"Oh! You guys were worried about that?" Anya cheerfully asks the class, with all the students nodding in agreement as a response. "Well too late to worry about that because we're already dating!"
"...what?" The whole class stares at the both of them, before all of the students fell off their chairs in shock.
"What happened to you all?!" Anya worriedly said.
"Why did you tell them so suddenly?!"
"They seemed like they really wanted to know, so... surprise I guess?"
This was definitely a fascinating week.
...
Bonus part: Q&A with Anya Forger and Damian Desmond!
Question: Who confessed first?
Anya: Me.
Damian: She beat me to it. I was planning to confess!
Anya: You did but you kept falling on the floor the second you were about to say it!
Question: Who's more clingy?
Anya: Definitely Damian. He hugs me any chance he gets and that probably adds to his heart problems.
Damian: I am NOT clingy.
Anya: He's lying don't believe him.
Question: Who uses words of affection more?
Damian: Anya definitely. She's very supportive and sweet, meanwhile I insult her as my love language.
Anya: Calling me stubby legs and runt is NOT a love language!
Thank you for the short interview session with Anya Forger and Damian Desmond. Until next time! Bye!
