Fearing to love
Dick A.K.A Nightwing was at the batcave with Bruce A.K.A Batman and Damian A.K.A Robin. They had just returned from a quiet patrol on Gotham no injuries, no crime. Bruce call it a night for the team, because tomorrow he is going to a business trip for the weekend and he have to get up early, but that wasn't his problem no no no his problem was his luck and why? Well that's very easy Alfred was in England for some family matters and that means he has to leave Damian with Dick. That it's not necessary a bad thing it's better choice than Jason or Tim, but still although Bruce trust Dick he worries how Damian will take it.
"Dick, can you do me a favor?" asked Bruce
"Yeah anything you want Bruce"
"Listen tomorrow I'm leaving for a business trip and I want you to watch Damian because Alfred is in England"
"Yeah, of course for how…"
"Father, I can take care of myself "interrupt Damian
"Damian no matter what you think Dick already agree to watch you for the weekend and to make sure no one get hurt I asked Flash and Green Arrow to patrol the city until I get back"
"But Fa…"
"No buts Damian I know you can take care yourself but I don't want to get back and find you or Dick injured. Is that understood?"
"Yes father" said Damian and run to his room
"I think you need to go and talk to him" said Dick after a minute of silence "Damian doesn't understand that you do that in order to protect him he thinks that you don't see him capable enough to go on his own. As for tomorrow in order to watch him and keep him under control I need a full time sleep so goodnight" said Dick and head to his bedroom
"Goodnight Dick… and now to the difficult part I need to talk to Damian"
Damian's room
"Damian?" asked Bruce while knocking
"Ender" Bruce heard a faint voice behind the door and opens the door and saw his son in the bed covered from head to toe with his blanket
"Damian" called Bruce as he besides Damian in bed and uncovers him
"What?" asked Damian
"I want you to know that I'm not forbitten you from patrolling because I think you aren't capable"
"Then why?"
"Because I worry that you'll hurt yourself if you act recklessly and I don't want that"
"I can take myself Father so you don't need to worry about me"
Bruce sighs "Goodnight Damian" and kisses his forehead and leave
"Goodnight dad" says Damian when he is sure that Bruce can't hear him.
Next Day
Bruce says his finals goodbyes and leave for the trip leaving Dick and a sleeping Damian alone in the Manor.
Dick decides to make some breakfast for Damian before he wakes up, maybe in this weekend he will make Damian open up to him. After 1 hour the breakfast is ready and after he sets up the table he goes to wake up Damian.
Damian's room
"Damian?" calls Dick as he step in the room "Come on Dami wake up its time for breakfast I make you pancakes"
"Leave me alone Grayson and go eat the pancakes you make without me, I'm not hungry" Dick hears Damian's sleepy voice under the covers
"Come on Little D breakfast is very important for a good start" Dick sighs when he hears no respond from Damian "Don't make me get you up from the bed, I can't guaranteed you that it won't be very pleasant" threatened Dick with a smirk on his face.
"Sighs…Ok I'm up" Dick smiles he win, one small victory.
Kitchen
When they arrived at the kitchen they sat on the table and start to eat. It was very quiet to the point that was almost awkward and Dick decide like a good brother that he is to break and start a normal conversation as normal can it be for the Bar Family.
"So do you like the pancakes Little D, I make especially for you" said Dick with a smile on his face.
"The breakfast is eatable and I told you too many time to stop calling me nicknames my name is Damian" answered Damian
"At least he likes it" Dick said in his mind "I know little…Damian, but the nickname suits you very good don't blame me that you are so cute in your own way of course"
"I'm not cute"
"Come on babybird its not bad that someone is calling you cute every kid in your ages are cute"
"I'm not like the other kids of my ages"
"I know you were trained to be the number one assassin and rule the League of assassins, but that doesn't mean you can't be like them, you are still 10 years old and I know for a fact that anyone in your age needs some love and a hug" said Dick and with a sudden move he captures Damian in a hug full of love
"Unhand me this instant Grayson or else I rip your hands" threatened Damian and struggled to get away from the hug
"It's just a hug full of love for my little brother. Is that such a bad thing?"
"I don't want your hugs or your love Grayson such things are weakness especially feelings like love" answered Damian and finally managed to escape Dick Grayson and run to his room until the night when they meet at the Batcave.
Batcave
Damian was now at the center of the batcave with Dick right behind him. Dick remembering their previous conversation asked without thinking.
"Why do you say that you don't need love Damian?... Everybody needs love and you are not the exception" said Dick and took one step towards Damian
"No, you are wrong I don't need anyone's love I'm fine" answered back Damian and took a step away from Dick
"Why are you doing this?" ask frustrated Dick
"Why I'm doing what?"
"Why are you denying the love we are giving you? Everybody needs to feel loved"
"I know how love feels and I hate that feeling. Love is useless, weakness, the only thing love is capable of is to be used in order to manipulate someone and who is giving me love and I didn't notice Todd, Drake, father or maybe mother because I'm 100% sure they don't love me and neither do you" Damian said feeling his eyes watering, but trying to hold them back.
"Damian that's not true and you know it, I love you so does the rest of the family they just have a weird way of showing" Dick tried to make Damian see some sense and believe him.
"It's not?" and Damian's tears start to fall unable to hold them back "You don't love me Grayson you are just felt pity for me because of my past and of who my mother and grandfather is. Todd and Drake don't love me the barely stand me they hate me they think I'm a monster, a demon spawn as they called me, father doesn't love me either and don't try to deny it because I know it I can see the look on his face every time he looks at me and he thinks I didn't notice he just took me in because I'm his son and he doesn't want me to be an assassin like Rash, he letting me stay in the manor because he feels guilty, the only time he notice me is when I do something bad or Todd and Drake do it and because I'm close by and father blames me or when I'm Robin and he has to keep an eye on me because he thinks I'm that stupid that I would go on a killing spree without a second thought. The same thing happen with Talon he kill the bad guy he rip his heart with his bare hand because I let him live because I listen to father and where that took me, father blame me the second he sees the body and there was no blood on my hands and if I wanted I couldn't rip his heart with my own bare hands I don't have super strength…" sniffs
"Oh Damian"
"And if you think that Talia or Rash love me then you are fool they tortured me, punished me, made me kill the teachers I was beginning to get attached to, they made me kill my nanny the first person that made me feel loved. If Todd and Drake think that I AM the monster, the demon then what are they supposed to be?" asked Damian with tears falling rapidly from his eyes not showing any sign of stopping it.
"Come on Grayson answered me what are they supposed to be? Who cares about me? Who loves me? ANSWERED ME who could love a monster like me, a machine built with only one reason to kill? WHO?!" his leg couldn't keep him up anymore so he fell on the floor crying
"Damian, it's going to be okay Shhh" Dick tried to make Damian stop crying and relax after he came out of his shock when he heard Damian and without second thought he took Damian in his hands and carried him to his room leaving the batcave.
Dick's room
After he laid Damian to his bed he covered him with his blanket he tried once again to relax him and say comforting things to him
"Damian its ok, everything is going to okay, I will make it okay and you'll see that they love you" Dick said as he played with the 10 years old hair.
"I don't want anyone to love me or me to love any of you because then something will happen and I will lose you. I'm scared that I'm going to get hurt again if I let my walls down and get attached to you, it's easier to call dad Father and you, Jason and Tim by your last names because that way it's going to be harder to get attached"
"It's okay to let love inside your heart and I'm not going to let anyone or anything get between us and you, ok?" stated Dick and kiss Damian's forehead
"Ok… Dick yawns" said sleepily Damian
"Looks someone is tired… sleep Little D and when you wake up we are going to have some fun, Ok?" said Dick and started to leave but Damian stops him
"Can you stay with me?" asked Damian
"I don't see why not, move over" Dick laid on the bed and hugged Damian "Goodnight little brother"
"Good night Dick"
And with that they fell asleep not caring about the world outside the Manor waiting for the next day and the fun that Dick promised to Dick.
