    Summary

    Dick Grayson hugs the way most people breathe: easy and natural, like it's a necessary part of living.

    Tim's wrapped up in one now, his brother's arms all the way around his shoulders, tugging him in close.

    He's never told Dick that the first hug he can remember is that day at the circus, from a stranger who would in time be family. He's never told Dick that the next hug he remembers after that is nine years later, caught up in those same strong arms. He thinks he'd rather die than admit it.

    "You're not hurt?" Dick is saying. "Nothing cruel and unusual, right?"

    "She only let me have one cup of coffee a day," says Tim, very dry, and Dick makes a strange sort of a sound, almost a laugh, and tightens his hold so much it sweeps Tim right off his feet.

    Summary

    Ugh. Little brothers. They’re the worst. "Okay, fine, I'll bite. Why are you here then?"

    "I can't just sit here? Is that illegal now?"

    “In Bruce’s study?”

    Jason just looks at him.

    “Jason.” Dick walks up to the desk, suspiciously peering around.

    Jason jerks and attempts to get in his way, but Dick is quick and fully willing to vault over his brother. Only, Jason immediately latches onto him, and the momentum sends them stumbling back, knocking into the desk.

    ...

    It's a good thing Jason stopped him, for right behind the desk, where Dick would've landed, is a swirling void.

    “What the fuck?” Dick sputters. “No, seriously, what the fuck?”

    Summary

    “You've been lucky so far, but you're an adult! You can’t keep falling off buildings expecting that someone will catch you!”

    “I didn’t expect anyone to catch me!” Tim shouts. It hangs in the air, his eyes widening as he realizes what he said.

    At a low moment, Dick thinks he needs to catch Tim, and he just - can't.

    Tim catches him instead.

    Summary

    I haven’t washed anyone’s hair since my little
    sister was six and didn’t want to do anything
    in life but sit in a huge plastic tub and let me
    massage her warm head. I remember how I
    held her in two palms and scrubbed her clean.
    It felt like my hands were a gods. Like I could
    absolve her of something.
    But there was nothing.
    She is my sister. How could there be anything.
