Surprise bitch, thought you seen the last of me?

:3c

Timmy curled closer, loving cuddle time.

Cuddle time was so nice. So warm.

"So I was thinking maybe later we can watch a movie." His big brother hummed as he stroked Timmy's head. "Maybe Lilo and Stitch? That's a good, classic movie."

He nodded. If that's what his big brother wanted to watch, they would watch it. He loves his big brother so much. He loves making his big brother happy.

A gentle smile grew on his big brother's face. "I'm glad. Maybe we can sing later, after the movie. What do you think, Timmy? Would you want to sing?"

Timmy nodded enthusiastically at that. He loved to sing for his big brother. Big brother loved it when he sang. Big brother's lovely glowing stone glowed all sorts of pretty colors when Timmy sang.

But before they could continue their conversation, a noise came from behind the couch. Like a sharp intake of breath?

Looking up and behind him, Timmy saw two strangers standing stock-still in their living room.

A tall man with a red helmet. A short boy with a hood.

Who were these people? Why were they there? It was rather rude of them to interrupt cuddle time.

"Dick?" The red helmeted one's voice was distorted, and it trembled. "What the fuck?!" They yelled.

Timmy jumped, feathers all ruffled as he clung closer to his big brother.

In a smooth motion, his big brother pulled Timmy into his arms and stood up. He then set Timmy down, letting the younger hide behind him.

Clinging to his big brother's loose shirt, Timmy followed his big brother as they walked around the couch, getting closer to the strange duo.

Timmy watched as the red helmeted one pulled the hooded one behind them. Maybe the hooded one was a little brother too?

Timmy cocked his head, peaking out a little more to get a better look at the duo.

The red helmeted one was large. Taller and broader than his big brother. Their brown leather jacket looked well worn. Timmy thinks they were wearing some weird clothes since he didn't recognize the material their shirt was made out of. He kind of liked the red bat on the chest though.

But then he caught sight of guns in their holsters. Deciding it was better not to observe the smaller one, Timmy went back to hiding behind his big brother.

"Oh Jaybird, don't be so mean. You're scaring Timmy," big brother said, petting Timmy's head.

Timmy felt calmer as his big brother petted his head. Big brother knew all the ways to calm Timmy down.

Was Jaybird the name of the red helmeted stranger?

Jaybird stiffened at that. Perhaps they were about to speak, but a new, younger voice spoke up.

"Grayson, you're being delusional. That's not Drake."

It was the hooded one. They had stepped away from Jaybird.

Why were they calling his big brother Grayson? Who was Drake? Was that supposed to be him? He was Timmy. Who was this tiny hooded person?

"Come on Dami, if you and Jaybird keep this up, you're going to hurt Timmy's feelings." Big brother said. He then brought Timmy in front of him, giving him a hug.

Timmy's feelings might be already hurt. But he was mostly confused.

"Grayson that's a large bird creature! Drake is not a large bird creature!" They, Dami perhaps, yelled.

Well drakes are male ducks. But Timmy wasn't a duck. Timmy was a red robin.

Big brother tutted in disappointment. "Is it the beak really throwing you off Lil' D? Really, the only difference in Timmy's face is the beak. Sure he has feathers, wings, and talons, but underneath it all, he's still Timmy."

Big brother's pretty stone began to glow, and Timmy's face felt all tingly. He liked the tingly feeling. Although it always felt a little weird whenever he got lips again.

"Timmy, say 'hi' to your brothers." His big brother instructed.

He blinked at that. "Broth…ers?" He asked. They were his brothers?

Big Brother chuckled. "Sorry, you probably don't really remember them right now, but yes. They're your brothers."

Now having lips, Timmy smiled. "Brothers!" He chirped, wings flapping in excitement. "Brothers brothers! Timmy loves brothers!"

How wonderful! Timmy could teach his new brothers all the songs big brother liked to listen to. And maybe he wouldn't be so lonely whenever big brother went out.

Eyes shining, he went to go hug his new brothers. But to his confusion, Jaybird stepped back, grabbing Dami with him.

Chirping with sadness, Timmy tilted his head. Did his new brothers not want a hug?

"Aww look at that," hurt was in big brother's voice as he wrapped his arms around Timmy's shoulders, "now you really hurt Timmy's feelings."

Timmy let his wings wrap around his big brother's hands. His own talon-claws-hands began to clack together nervously. Why were his new brothers acting this way? Did they not like Timmy? Did they not like big brother?

It felt impossible not to like big brother. Everyone should like big brother. Everyone should love big brother. Big brother loves everyone. Big brother loves his brothers.

"Richard fucking Grayson, what the hell did you do to Tim." Jaybird demanded.

What did he mean? Big brother did nothing to Timmy. Timmy is the same as he always was. Timmy likes the way he was.

"Nothing. Timmy just finally realized some things is all. Besides, this way, Timmy gets his wings back. He can really fly now." Big brother nuzzled the top of Timmy's head. "And if he ever flies away, he can always find his way back to me. That's what family's all about. Finding our way back to each other."

Nodding, Timmy spoke. "Timmy loves Big Brother. Timmy stay with Big Brother. Timmy loves Big Brother."

Why did his new brothers recoil away when he said that?

"Timmy." Big brother said, gaining Timmy's attention. Big brother looked sad. "Can you go to your room for a bit? I need to talk to our brothers."

Timmy was torn. On one hand he didn't want to leave his big brother alone. On the other hand he didn't want to make his big brother any more sadder than he was.

So, even though Timmy was pouting, Timmy slipped out of his big brother's grasp and went to his room.

Once there, he began to play with one of his many stuffed toys his big brother was kind enough to get him. The one he chose was big fluffy red robin. It was just like him!

Soon he grew tired, and fell asleep in his nest made out of blankets and pillows.

"You need to let me go." Tim demanded one more time.

Everything felt like a blur. It all happened so fast. There was some sort of magical artifact that Dick ended up coming into contact with…

And it corrupted him.

The older man tilted his head to the side. A small pout was on his face, and he looked oh so innocent. There was no tell that Dick was corrupted by the magical artifact. None at all, except…

Suddenly Dick smiled. "Nope!" He walked closer and closer to Tim.

Magic wrapped all around him, looking like elaborate jewelry, as a gem that was now embedded itself into the center of Dick's chest glowed. It all grew brighter as the invisible ropes grew tighter around Tim.

Damn it.

"Then at least tell me why. Why are you doing this." Tim demanded.

Dick's arms wrapped around Tim just like the invisible ropes. He kissed Tim's forehead before resting his cheek on top of Tim's head. "Because silly, I love you."

Tim swallowed. "This isn't love. This isn't you."

He could feel the man heave a sigh. That he was moving one arm to stroke Tim's hair.

"Oh but Timmy," Dick began to say, voice sounding far away, "I do love you very much. And I'm now finally able to prove it. And you'll be able to finally see it."

And then everything went dark.

Timmy woke up with a yawn.

Blinking, Timmy thought about the dream he had. He really hated that dream. He used to have it a lot, for a while, and he wasn't sure why. It eventually faded away until he no longer had it, but for some odd reason he had it again.

Timmy hates how it made him think he hated his big brother. It was stupid, that dream. He hopes that he would never have it ever again. Timmy loves his big brother. His big brother loves him.

There was the noise of feet stepping softly on his blankets.

Someone kneeled down in front of him.

Looking up, Timmy saw it was his big brother. With a big bright smile on his face.

Timmy smiled, too, for he still had a mouth. He was glad that his big brother was happy.

"Timmy," big brother spoke, voice as soft as Timmy's blankets, "I got some wonderful news."

Timmy woke up a little more at this.

"Our brothers are going to live with us from now on."

A grin broke out on Timmy's face. That was amazing news! Truly wonderful like big brother said!

"You two can come in now," his big brother called out, stone in his chest shining beautifully.

Timmy looked to the door and saw two figures enter.

They both looked just like Timmy when Timmy had his beak. Only the shorter one looked more like a robin while the taller one looked like a bluejay.

"Meet your older brother, Jaybird, and your little brother, Dami." Big brother formally introduced Timmy's new brothers.

Big brother's stone glowed so many pretty colors as Timmy's new brothers walked forward. With wide open arms, big brother welcomed the new brothers.

Big brother sighed happily. "Soon B will join us. Our dad will always be with us. And we will never part." He then kissed each brother on the forehead. "I promise you that. After all, ohana means family. And family never gets left behind. Or forgotten."

Timmy and his new brothers cuddled with big brother. They were all illuminated by big brother's stone's pretty light. And Timmy felt elated by his big brother's declaration. Timmy always wanted a dad.

"I love you all." Big brother said.

Smiling wide, Timmy nuzzled closer to his big brother's side. "Timmy loves Big Brother."

And Timmy really, truly loves big brother. Now and forever more.
