I can-- ( handle it himself. damian almost, almost starts getting into it, starts telling dick to stop babying him, he isn't a child, but. they're a team, aren't they? they were the best team. and damian - may often feel the need to defend himself still when it comes to dick grayson treating him like a child, but he doesn't need to right now.

so he doesn't. damian presses his lips together instead, then moves out from under dick's arm and starts towards the couch to wait. shakes his head during, like he's shaking off the urge to tell grayson off for offering.

titus raises his head and perks up his ears as damian approaches, but doesn't get off the couch. he's massive, big enough to take a good portion of the couch without leaving much room. and while titus is trained to move when told, damian doesn't tell him to. instead, he presses a knee into the couch and climbs right over his dog.

settles into the corner of the couch as titus turns around to place his head on damian's lap, effectively trapping him where he's settled.

and damian - waits. or tries to wait for a few moments. it doesn't last very long; the moment he's comfortable, the moment titus has settled, his eyes start drooping shut. )

[ There's no argument — Damian really is exhausted. Dick's seen it before, the way his youngest brother pushes himself, and it's got to be worse than ever here: the fate of the world. A father who doesn't yet know him.

He takes his time with the cocoa, listening to the soft sounds of the couch cushions shifting under the weight of both Damian and Titus; casts a casual glance over his shoulder. Damian's eyes are closing, his shoulders are loosening. Titus is already snoring. Dick's mouth twitches, and he turns back to his coffee, setting the marshmallows aside without adding them to the cocoa. They'd only melt; Damian can have them later, when he wakes up.

The cocoa will go cold. That's okay. There's plenty more where that came from. And Dick can enjoy his coffee while looking through what passes for this world's newspaper while Damian takes a much-needed nap. It's not the rush and excitement of being Batman and Robin, but what they really need today is to just be Dick and Damian, he thinks. That's plenty. ]
