SPOILERS for the roster changes in Gotham
It's Batman and Robin, always. Except Dick isn't Batman anymore. But that doesn't matter - even though Damian starts every night at Bruce's side, he always ends the night at Dick's.

Dick senses Damian coming up behind him before he’s settled next to him on the ledge. Dick is watching some suspicious activity that may or may not be a major deal involving something illicit in a building across the street. Damian is supposed to be with Bruce figuring out what the cause of the latest gang war is

I am filled with desperate warm fuzzies; this was gorgeous. I love Dick sitting there wondering how much Damian is kidding when he says he was fighting people at three (I suspect not at all).

Thank you for the comment. I made myself sad a little when I was writing this because it's probably true that Damian's never been hugged by anyone but Dick. (Alternately, as my friend points out, he's never let anyone else hug him, but still.) Unrelated but true: I have your AO3 account tabbed right now (I'm FridaysChild over there, I think I was good and remembered to hit the kudos button at least a couple of times) and am reading through it so I was excited to hear from you.

Yeah, Damian's a tough one to figure out, it all works in painful cycles. He pushes people away, yes, but in part because he's learned that if he doesn't it only hurts when they let him down. But he's still a prickly, difficult kid, there's no denying that.
And aw, thanks for the kudos on AO3! It means a lot, it's a nice mood-lifter on a dreary and busy day.

Good thing Dick's both patient and stubborn enough to hang on when Damian's pushing. Like a leech, only without the bloodsucking tendencies. Also they can both pretend that Damian doesn't need people, and Dick can let him fake it.

Awww, so adorable!
And totally true that Damian doesn't get hugged by anyone else. His parents, guardians, and assorted family members aren't exactly big huggers except for Dick.
