#dick is my second favorite bat I luv him lots

[whump-prompts-for-repressed-gays]

We continue the batfamily series of injuries

Dick is way less angsty than his brothers, he’s just kind of a clown sometimes

Jason, Tim, and Damian all started out in environments where sharing weakness was frowned upon. Dick definitely did not; He was happy with his parents and they were pretty affectionate

And so I raise you: Dick only hides injuries in any capacity when one of his siblings is hurt more lol he’s a selfless guy and a Big Brother©️ if I’ve ever seen one

Like, him and Tim both have the flu but Tim doesn’t have a spleen so that wins out and he doesn’t tell anybody

Dick even tries to lecture him on his health- “Tim your immune system is compromised and you’re not only endangering yourself-“ he gets caught by a sudden wave of dizziness and stops for a second

Tim squints

Tim squints really hard at the flush on the cheeks Dick’s tried to cover with Steph’s concealer, and the slightly glazed eyes, and the black t-shirt he definitely only put on to hide the sweat-

“You’re sick too, asshole.”

“I’m nOT-“ But Tim stops him, because yes he fucking is, the hypocrite.

Timmy tells Alfred because if he has to suffer bed rest (not that bad; he snuck his computer into his bedroom) then so does Dick (absolutely terrible, cannot sit still, hyperactive king)

This leads to the “Check Dick Second” system in which if one of his siblings is injured one of them will check Dick for injuries right after the sibling is treated

Mostly Dick lets it happen because as long as he’s not treated before his sibling he might as well let them have some peace of mind over his well-being, or whatever
