    Summary

    He whined, unable to stop the pathetic noise, wishing for nothing more than for Alfred to just turn around and walk away. Wishing that Alfred would just leave him to his misery already, leave him to deal with this by himself.

    Alfred did no such thing, simply offering up a cool cloth so that Tim could wipe his face and mouth.

    Tim’s hand trembled, nearly dropping the cloth, his eyes stinging at the knowledge that Alfred would never again look at him the same way. Now Alfred knew just how pathetic Tim was, there was no coming back from that.

    He shouldn’t have stayed after patrol.

    He should have just gone home but it had been so comfortable on the Wayne’s couch that it had felt impossible to pull himself away from it until all of a sudden he had awoken with a start and with the desperate need to purge his body of every single thing he had eaten over the last century.

    Well, Tim hadn’t been a thing for a century yet, but the point still stands.

    Summary

    Whoever was carrying him, they felt warm. Knowing that soon enough he was going to be punished anyway, Tim dared to let himself rest his head against that warm chest. It was a man, Tim decided, though he couldn't recall the last time his Dad had carried him.

    That was a lie; Timothy Drake had been four years and twenty seven days old the last time his Dad had carried him. Tim had made the mistake of hitting the side of Jack Drake's head when he got too excited pointing towards a balloon shaped like a bird.

    Tim had learned from this mistake, as he learned from every mistake. He made certain not to bring attention to anything childish like balloons to his Father, even if his Dad in turn had not deigned to carry him again. It had been Tim's fault, and he had justly been punished for it.

    Summary

    Tony mustered up his best, ‘look at me, I’m so put together,’ voice, the one the press ate right up. And there was next to zero chance Steve was going to buy it, but that wouldn’t stop him from trying.

    “Don’t worry about me, sugar plum. I’ve got this.” Tony tried to open his eyes again, as if to prove a point even though no one could see him. And oh, oh no, that was a mistake. Frantically, he grasped for the wastebasket, dry heaving into it.

    Oh, he did not have this. He did not have this at all.

    Tony underestimates the severity of one of his migraines, and pays for it.
