Summary
Then a warm, calloused hand was pulling it back, holding his hair out of the way, and another rubbed his back. It was so unexpected that when he finally managed to quit puking, he just sagged forward and cried.
The same hands hooked under his arms and dragged him back, left him propped against the wall.
“That’s not good, Little Bird,” Jason said, appraising the contents of the bowl before flushing it. “How long you been sick? You injured?”

Now that Tim’s moved back to the manor, he just wants a few afternoons a week without Damian around.
Funny how getting that was the catalyst for him becoming a better big brother.

Summary
Duke Thomas had been with the family for six months. Officially, at least. Had known them for at least a year before that. Age sixteen, now, he had reluctantly allowed them to place him under fostership after being on his own for a while.
He saw Bruce as a mentor, for sure. He was a good guy. A little rough around the edges, but nothing Duke couldn't handle.
Getting close to him, emotionally, though? Biiiiiit more of a challenge.It was just...professional boundaries, Duke told himself. Bruce was Batman, and Batman was like, his mentor-supervisor-vigilante landlord. Or something. Not his dad.
He had a dad.
Even if his dad was sort of...Jokerized.
And Bruce wasn't really a paternal figure, either, like how the others viewed him. He liked the guy. Just...didn't need a dad. He was fine. Chilling.
…
Until he wasn't.
***
Duke gets sick, and Bruce's tending leaves him longing for his own father.
