( an insult, maybe, but it's paired with damian twisting in so he's pressing his face into bruce's shoulder, disregarding any grime from the junkyard. he's - not big on physical affection, giving or receiving. damian had been getting better about it before - everything. worse over the last couple years, before the island had introduced him to new companions.
but he remembers this bruce holding onto him, even if it feels like it had been eons ago now. remembers losing consciousness in his arms in the maze, with tears drying into his collar. the numerous half-hugs padded by bruce resting a hand against damian's shoulder, or damian shoving up against him. and it isn't that damian doesn't like physical affection, it's just with most, he expects it to be used as a means to get closer in order to cause further harm.
something he doesn't anticipate from this bruce wayne, which is why he leans further into him with an almost irritated huff. )
