Double-drabble for Petronelle, posted here because I have no word processing program at the moment, and this is the easiest way to spell-check and see if I've gotten all the manual word-counts out.

Robin has the flu, and Batman is turning into a girl.
Okay, not literally a girl, but seriously, no one fusses this much over Steph. Tim doesn't fuss this much over Steph, and he's nominally her boyfriend, at least until he figures out he's gay. (Because apparently, there are some areas where Steph is smarter than the ex-Boy-Wonder.)
It's also not literally the flu, but some kind of alien brain-eating disease that she can't take home and expose her Mom to. It's still not enough reason for Bats to bring her... chicken soup? Home-made chicken soup? "Why are you being so nice to me?" she asks, and she's sort of appalled that she asks it out loud, but that doesn't stop it from being a good question.
Batman doesn't say anything.
"You're Batman, and I'm not helping you fight crime."
"..."
"I threw up on your Bat-boots!"
Batman turns away, and she's pretty sure it's so she doesn't see the look on his face. Which is stupid, because it's not like she could really see it anyway, what with the big, obtuse, supposedly-scary (but actually kinda stupid-looking) mask and her inability to focus her eyes.
Batman says, "...Get some sleep, Robin."
