DamiAnya

DamiAnya is the het ship between Anya Forger and Damian Desmond from the Spy x Family fandom.

Canon
On Eden Academy's orientation day, Damian Desmond is among the two hundred-eight new students accepted into Eden Academy that year. During the class and homeroom teacher assignments, he is assigned to Cecile Hall along with Anya Forger, where Loid Forger plans to have Anya befriend him to get close Donovan Desmond. When Anya stares at him, Damian arrogantly assumes she's fallen for him.

On the school tour, Damian, along with Emile and Ewen, brags about being able to become an Imperial Scholar soon and his father being the chairman of the National Unity Party, quickly gaining the admiration of his classmates, except Anya and Becky Blackbell. He approaches Anya, asking about her father's occupation and mocks her for not being important enough. After Anya smiles at him, Damian gets angry at being made fun of and begins to insult Anya with "ugly." He starts harassing Anya by throwing crumpled paper balls and threatens to bully Anya out of school. He is then punched by Anya, sending him flying into a chair and some trash bins. He is left with an imprint of a fist on his cheek and begins crying. Henry Henderson informs his parents of what transpired. He is not seen in the group photo taken afterward.

The next day, Damian bumps into Anya and Becky, where his followers and Becky begin arguing, and Anya attempts to apologize for the previous day, but Becky pulls Anya away. In class, Damian stares at Anya from behind, getting angry about her being the only one to have ever hit him, and turns away blushing slightly when Anya turns to look at him. At the school cafeteria, Anya approaches Damian to apologize to him. Getting up to face her, he is confused at being tongue-tied and his heart beating faster whenever she looks at him, his face blushing. When Anya apologizes to him in tears, Damian is touched and his face turns entirely red, making an excuse that it's anger. Embarrassed, he reminds himself that Anya defied him, but starts imagining Anya staring right into his eyes. Denying his crush on a "commoner," he adamantly refuses to ever forgive her for as long as he lives and dashes off, blushing.

Stella Star Arc
During the dodgeball match in the physical education period, Damian and his group briefly argue with Becky again. Although shocked by Anya walking away from him, he turns away, focused on getting MVP in the dodgeball match instead to earn a Stella Star. He reveals that his motivation to become an Imperial Scholar like his brother is to get his father's attention. Damian is the first to throw the ball and sends it flying at the students of Wald Hall, but his throw is intercepted by Bill Watkins. He banters with Bill briefly.

After Bill eliminates several of his classmates, their team is left with only five students, with Damian left standing with Anya, Ewen, Emile, and one other unnamed student. While Damian tries to think of a weakness, Emile and Ewen sacrifice themselves to protect Damian from being hit by Billy. Damian is determined to make an impression by being the one left standing, apathetic about others being hit. Damian praises Anya after she dodges several hits. After Anya trips and falls, Damian initially thinks to abandon her but is able to intercept the ball with his hands, though it leaves his hands shaking and unable to grab the ball, eliminating him. Damian is confused at his actions and tells Anya not to mess up. At the end of the dodgeball match, Damian gets angry at Anya for wasting his sacrifice with an awful throw.

Light Novel
In the official light novel, "SPY x FAMILY: Family Portrait", the first chapter is dedicated to Anya going on a camping trip with her class. While on the trip, Anya gets assigned to the same group as Damian. The two keep quarreling, though Anya is determined to befriend Damian for the mission. So while they are on the way to fetch water together, Anya expresses joy that she gets to go with Damian. He gets flustered, but tells himself that Anya is like everyone else and only wants to be friends to get close to his father.

Due to Anya messing up directions, the two get lost in the forest. The trail she left, made of peanuts, had also been eaten by squirrels. Damian complaints how idiotic Anya was, but as she starts to cry, he panics and tries to calm her down by telling her that they'll find the way back.

Just as he says that, it starts to rain. Since Anya is still crying, Damian grabs her hand and leads her to a cave they passed. They sit down next to each other when suddenly lightning and thunder appear too. Anya begins to sob again, so Damian holds her hand tighter and reassures her, though Anya can tell that he is scared as well. She notes that her hand feels warm.

When they're finally found, Anya takes the blame for getting them lost, but Damian speaks up and wants to take full responsibility. Shortly after, the two go back to their normal quarreling. After being asked by Loid if she had fun on the trip, Anya recalls the warmth of holding hands with Damian as one of the good memories.
