"Well, I’m not dying to kiss Will…while he’s asleep. But I have no doubt that he’ll wake up if I do. So don’t worry, he’s not gonna stay like this forever."

- Damien to Monica Wamien is the slash ship between William and Damien Wytte from the Hooky fandom.

Canon
Damien and William have been close friends since they were kids, Damien formerly being Will’s butler and currently his royal advisor.

Background
After a traumatic experience, Damien started to distance himself from his parents and started to spend his time alone in a forest playing with magic since he didn’t have anybody to play with. One day, William happened to stumble across Damien doing magic, but instead of reacting negatively like most people would, Will was amused and believed that Damien was a “fairy”. The two quickly became friends and met everyday in secret. Until one day, Will suddenly stopped showing up, leaving Damien alone once again.

One day after school, Damien ran to the forest crying and William and Damein met again after Will found Damien crying there. Will tells Damien that he is engaged to a princess and he is now living at her palace. Will says that he won’t be able to stay and only came to the forest for a visit but invites Damien to stay with him at the palace. Damien then decides to tell Will that he is not a fairy but a witch, accepting the fact he’ll just be alone forever, but to his surprise, Will tells him that he already knows, and he has for a long time, showing that he didn’t care and valued their friendship more than that.

Damien ended up accepting the offer to come live at the palace and become Will’s personal butler and tutor. Will introduces his fiance, Monica, and the three of them become very close friends. Damien knew he didn’t have Will’s status, Will made him feel like he did.

Not long after, during one of the reunions with his family, his father ordered Damien to help them in kidnapping Prince William as Damien was close with him. He tries to make them change their mind, telling them that this was an absurd plan and that he wasn’t going to do what they wanted him to do, not wanting to harm Will. Lashing out at his family, he leaves. Later, when he comes back to the castle, he finds a sick William. After helping Monica look after him, Monica and Will fall asleep. Damien then hears Will speaking and Will ends up telling him that his father was the one who gave the order to burn Damien’s mother. Damien tells him that he already knows, and he has for a long time, and valued their friendship more than what Will’s father did.

Pre-Timeskip
A few years later, William disappeared along with many other princes from other kingdoms. After Monica goes missing also, Damien asks the king if he could go out looking for her, but instead, he is really looking for Will. On the way out he grabs William’s sword.

Damien decides to go to the Witches Sabbath to look for William. He finds Will in the prison along with many other princes. Damien then uses magic to free them. Will immediately hugs Damien and Damien gives Will the sword.

During the Witches Sabbath when everyone is arguing, Damien decides to escape. Damien can only bring one person at a time on his broom but instead of bringing the youngest one with him first, he tells Will to go first. Suddenly, Amir, one of the princes jumps on the broom making them all fall down. He tells Damien that he was probably only going to bring Will anyway, he didn’t care about the rest. Damien doesn’t reply.

Damien loses sight of Will but overhears some witches disagreeing with the Wytte’s plans which makes Damein smile knowing that there are those who want peace too. Will suddenly comes into sight and asks Damien why he’s smiling and if he’s enjoying war, death, and pain, Damien blushes and calls Will an idiot but Will says it’s rare to see Damien that happy.

The three see Dorian and Dani riding a dragon and Will decides he wants to ride a dragon also. Damien holds him back but Will says it’s his duty to dominate a dragon as a prince. As Will starts to give up, Damien drags him away but Will calls for his attention. Damien looks behind and sees a dragon coming right towards them. Damien is able to block its fire breath but Will jumps on in an attempt to attack the dragon but it doesn’t work. The dragon is flying away and Damien tells Will to grab his hand but in the end, the dragon takes Will away.

Damien is able to find a broom and goes looking for Will. He continues to look for William until sunrise without results. As the flying fortress falls to the ground, he lands on a rock and lets his desperation out for failing to protect William again.

A little over a week has passed since Will got taken away by the dragon and Damien is back at the king’s castle and the king organizes a ball. Damien doesn’t want to go at first but thinks about the possibility of Will appearing at the ball and decides to go in the end. At the ball, a bunch of witches storm inside the castle and Damien’s mother asks him to become king. She shows him that she has William and that he is safe and under her custody. To save William, he agrees.

Months later and Damien asks his mother where William is but his mother keeps changing the topic and won’t tell him so Damian decides he’ll just go and find William himself or else it would be too late. Damien goes to Pendragon as Pendragon is able to see the future. Pendragon asks him why he wants to save Will and Damien tells him his history with Will. Pendragon, using his abilities, is able to get a clue where Will is and they head off.

After many events Monica and Damien are able to find Will asleep atop of a large spiral rock in a cave. Damien tells Monica that he’ll only wake up with a true love’s kiss, and this was probably his mother’s doing. While Monica is about to kiss Will, Damien looks away. Monica doesn’t end up kissing him, worried that maybe she loves someone else more, so Damien offers to kiss him instead. Suddenly, the Wyttes come and threaten them, Damien stands in front of Will with his wand to protect him. They grab Monica but she tackles them and yells at Damien to go wake up Will and take him to safety. Damien blushes and grabs Will. He leans in and kisses him which immediately wakes him up.

Soon, all of them are able to escape and they head to Amir’s castle. Will asks Damien for a hug but Damien declines saying it’s not the time. Will then asks Damien why he isn’t comforting him after their father’s death. Damien tells Will that he’s just happy Will is safe.

Post-Timeskip
About three years later, Monica is explaining her plan to get Dani back and that includes marrying Will. William excitedly tells Damien that he’s going to be married soon, Damien congratulates him but tells him that he won’t be able to attend his wedding. Will is bewildered and says that Damien has to be there. Damien tells him that he has to leave again to help Aisha and Mark find Dorian, his brother.

The next day before Damien leaves, Will tells him it looks like he’ll be a married man the next time they meet. Damien apologizes for not being able to come to his wedding but Will tells him it’s no big deal and that he’ll make up for it, and also that he doesn’t have to worry about things changing. Damien questions Will what he means by that but they get interrupted by Monica.

On the day of the wedding, Damien is able to come back in time. Will is very happy about this and tells Damien that he knew he would be there on his wedding day. Damien tells him that he came back to put Pendragon in jail but he doesn’t have time to explain everything. Damien then helps Will with his outfit and tells him that he looks quite lonely, Will says that Damien seems very happy. Damien says that now that his brother is back, he’ll be able to save Dani. Will asks if the wedding is still urgent and Damien tells him yes as if that doesn’t work out, Monica’s plan will do. William asks Damien if the wedding bothers him, and Damien asks him why would it bother him as nothing will change and they’ll still be friends like Will said. Will pins him against the wall and asks if he really only wants to be just friends. Damien tells him that they both know what he wants.

Damien then pushes him away and tells Will that he’s always playing dumb and that he knows that Damien loves him. Damien asks Will what he wants and Will tells him he needs to marry Monica for the kingdom. Damien tells Will that doesn’t answer his question.

During William and Monica’s wedding, Damien stands there leaning against the wall.

The next morning after the wedding, we see Will and Damien staring at each other. Damien tells Will to stop staring at him or else he’s gonna kick his ass. Will then tells Monica that she shouldn’t kill Mrs.Wytte and tries to stop her but Dorian holds him down.

Later on William grabs some beer and plans to have a drink with the guards. Will asks Damien if he wants to join but Damien declines the offer. Will tells him it’s his loss and is about to go but Damien grabs his arm and tells him to not drink it, William says he knows and he’s not an idiot. Amir walks in and accuses Damien of trying to get a married man drunk, Damien punches him.

They execute their plan to get rid of Mrs.Wytte’s powers and when she tries attacking them, Damien puts his hand in front of Will to protect him. When his mother (Mrs.Wytte) gives up, Damien hugs her and cries. William smiles fondly at the scene. Afterwards we can see in the background Will placing his hand on Damien’s shoulder and them talking to each other.
