Seriously, read the first one first, you wont get it if you don't read it. You'll only be like 'WTF! THIS IS NOT DAMIAN!' Lol! DON'T BE LAZY AND GO READ THE OTHER ONE! =3
Tim awoke to the sound of a screaming Damian. Before he shot out of bed, he checked what time it was. 4:30 in the morning is what the digital clock told him. He ran towards Damian's room, and when he saw Dick headed towards the door, he intercepted him from reaching the door.
"Dick, it's fine, I've got Damian. Just go back to sleep." Tim said, not as an offer, but an order.
"Tim, you're the one that should be in bed, you got pretty banged up by Killer Croc. Your in no shape to be up and about." Dick replied in a worried tone.
"Dick, seriously, I've got this. You know me and Damian have gotten closer after, your, accident." Tim said shakily.
Dick nodded, understanding what Tim was talking about. He retreated back to his room after sending Tim a look, his eyes filled with pride. Tim stared after Dick, finally snapping out of his daze once he heard Damian scream again. He rushed to open the door, stumbling the first few times.
Tim finally got the door open and stepped inside, closing the door softly behind him. He saw Damian, breathing heavily and writhing on the bed, his body tangling itself in the sheets. He was covered in sweat and screaming bloody murder. Tears were pouring from his eyes. Tim ran to Damian and shook him, trying to wake Damian from his nightmare.
"Damian, Damian! Damian, wake up!" Tim gave one final shake, and Damian snapped his eyes open and sat up straight. He looked around frantically before his eyes landed on Tim. More tears poured from his eyes and his cries became louder.
"T-Tim! Tim! *sob* TIM!" Damian yelled as he threw himself into his brothers arms. He cried loudly, his tears soaking Tim's shirt. Tim didn't mind, he only held Damian tightly.
"It's alright Damian, it's ok. I'm here. You'll be alright. Nothings going to hurt you. Not with me here with you." Tim reassured Damian. He rubbed soothing circles against Damian's back. Damian's cries softened, they soon just turned into deep breathing, a few hiccups here and there.
"You alright now Damian?" Tim asked soothingly. Damian looked up at Tim through his wet eyelashes.
"Yeah, I'm fine now. Tim, your going to stay here with me right? Your not going to leave me right?" Damian said, his voice cracking on the last question and tears returning to his eyes.
Tim held on tighter to Damian. "No! No, no, no, never Damian. I will never leave you alone. No matter what happens Damian, I will always be with you." Tim told him, his voice full of love and truth. Damian smiled brightly, hugging Tim even more tightly.
Damian laughed, "You sound so cheesy Tim. Like from a movie." Tim smiled down at his little brother.
"Damian, do you want to talk about your dream? If you don't you don't have to." Tim told his little brother. Damian's smile vanished, but he was no longer crying. He breathed in a sigh before starting his story.
"Well, remember that time, when those people attacked me and Dick, and how that man, had, you know." Damian moved his arms in a circular motion, looking for the right words to say. Tim nodded, encouraging him to continue his story.
"Well, this time, all of us went, by that, I mean that you, me, and Dick had gone there. We got captured and Dick was knocked out like before. I was awake and the guy was going to start hitting me with the whip when you yelled at him to not hurt me. He smirked at you, and then walked out. He came back in a few seconds with a gun and a pole. He loaded his gun laughing the entire time. Y-You tried to untie yourself, and you tried to make him stop but he wouldn't listen. He pointed the gun at my head, I was so scared I couldn't move or do anything. He decided to play with me first, he shot both my legs. The pain, it felt so real, it hurt so much, I felt like I was ready to pass out from the intense pain. After that, he stuck the pole in each of the gun shot wounds, I was screaming so loud, my voice was sure to be gone later. Once he pulled out the blood covered pole, he shot me in the gut. I was ready to just, pass out. But, I couldn't. Something wasn't letting me. He shot me in the shoulders and finally stopped once he used the pole again. He was laughing throughout the entire thing. He finally got bored and turned to you. He held the gun to your head, he said something that I couldn't hear. But, you got scared, you looked at me and shouted at me to close my eyes over and over again. I was yelling at the man to leave you alone. You kept screaming at me to close my eyes, but I couldn't. I just couldn't. The man was pressing on the trigger slowly. You had fear in your eyes, you looked at the gun then at me. You stared at me with a smile and said, 'I love you.' then you told me once more, not to look. Tears were streaming down my face. I screamed when the man pulled the trigger. I never saw it hit you, because you woke me up." Damian was crying, but his voice was steady. He hugged Tim tightly, making sure that he was actually there.
Tim held Damian in his arms, he was squeezing Damian so hard, it was surprising Damian could even breath. Damian was shaking rather hard, but he was not making any noise. Tim let a few tears fall from his eyes, but nothing more. He had to be strong for Damian. And strong he would be.
Tim spoke softly, not wanting Damian to get even more scared, "Damian, do you want me to stay here with you?" Damian nodded vigorously. He did not want to be alone. Tim laid himself and Damian on the bed, he continued to talk soothingly to Damian. He laid Damian's head on his chest, allowing him to cry on his chest. He hummed a song that he knew Damian liked.
Damian slowly fell asleep to the sound of Tim's heart beating at a steady pace. He fell asleep, reassured that Tim was with him, alive and well.
Tim kissed Damian on the forehead, falling asleep slowly. He was glad that Damian could talk out all his problems to him. He was happy that they were growing close. It made moments in his life just that much better. It also made his past less painful. He could deal with everything as long as he was with Damian. He will always be with Damian. Nothing could ever take him away. Not even death.
