Remember when a cop shot Dick in his femoral artery, and Dick collapsed on a fire escape, and Alfred found him and literally put Dick on his shoulders and carried him to the street? Then Dick got a 104° fever (40° for you Celsius bitches) and Alfred sat with him and monitored him while he was delirious? 
Or the time when Two-Face had Dick shot in the shoulder and Dick was dripping with blood on his way back to the manor. He crash landed in the batcave, and Alfred immediately dragged him to the med-bay to do emergency surgery to remove the bullet from his arm. Then while Dick was resting, Alfred sat in the chair next to him and held his hand. 
Let’s not forget the other time Dick was shot in the shoulder by another cop, and it was bad enough for him to activate his in-suit defibrillator because his vitals dropped drastically. Alfred called him right away and asked Dick to seek medical help. Dick refused to get help at the time, but hours later, he was video chatting with Alfred for advice on how to stitch his arm. Alfred coached Dick through the loops and knots he needed to patch himself up, and afterwards, he offered to listen if Dick needed someone to talk to.  
Alfred has been there for Dick in so many instances, including Dick’s struggle with amnesia. He went to the bar Dick was at and paid off Dick’s tab. Then when Dick mentioned not caring about his old memories and wanting to be his own man, Alfred supported him and said, “I completely understand. We all need to make our own destinies.”
Their relationship is severely underrated and I won’t stand for it.
