( be in a world without dick grayson. he has, once, when he faked his death and everything else had begun falling apart around them. but it wasn't a good time, and it's certainly nothing damian wishes to repeat again any time soon. without damian wayne, the world goes on. he knows his death would hurt their family, knows how it affected his father, but it's nothing in comparison to the thousands who would grieve the loss of nightwing. blüdhaven would fall apart worse, his father wouldn't be able to cope, and no one but dick grayson can shove his father out of his depressive episodes when the need arises. dick states he doesn't want to be in a world without him, but damian doesn't see the world going on if dick were to never come back.
but he doesn't specify, doesn't dig further into it, because it's irrelevant, and damian doesn't want to deal with the argument that might come from pressing further. instead, he lets dick drag him where he wants him, lets him hold damian close, because damian needs it just as much as dick does.
a shudder runs through his spine on an exhale, body loosening a little as it leans against dick's own. he could pull away, but he doesn't. the sudden outburst of tears is - lessening, even if it isn't stopping entirely. damian needs another moment to pull himself together, but instead he's smearing the mess of tears over dick's shirt, leaning heavily into him. )
