~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Damian shot up right in his bed, cold sweat soaked his clothing. Tears still leaked from his eyes, his body was trembling out of controls. The images from his dream flooded his mind, making his eyes widened as he looked around. He was in his room, but how did he get here?

A soft pattering came from outside his window, looking over he noticed it was raining, no poring. Lying back down on the bed he began to try and remember what had happened. He remembered giving into her, or remember falling on the bank of the stream, falling asleep in Dick's arms, wait.
Dick!

Jumping out of his bed he raced toward the door. Flinging it open and running down the hall. His feet padded quietly as he raced toward his older brother's room. He had to make sure his dream was just that, a dream.

As he quickly opened the door to his brother's room he almost collapsed from relief. There he was, sitting on the bed, his computer out sitting on his lap. Open.

Dick was startled when his door opened quickly, at first he bought something had happened, but when he saw it was a teary eyed Damian he calmed down, slightly. His big brother instincts kicked in and he was in front of the boy faster than the flash.

" Damian. What's wrong? Are you ok? Why are you crying? Did something happen?" He asked worriedly. Damian wiped his tears quickly and scoffed.

" I'm fine Di-Grayson." He said, looking away from the older man. He almost slipped, he was letting his emotions get carried away, it was only a dream! Or... Was it?

" Damian, you're crying." Dick said sadly, as he used his thumb to wipe away a few stray tears, Damian quickly huffed and pulled away. Wiping the tears away angrily.

" I'm fine Grayson!" He snarled. His eyes began to change into dark blue slits. He felt his nails sharpen and grow in lengthy, and evidently, so did Dick.

" Damian calm down, please." Dick said, knowing from his recent research that angering the boy would only result in blood shed. Reluctantly, Dick reached out and placed his hand gently on Damian's check.

" Damian. It's ok. You're safe. Nothing can hurt you." Dick said the comforting words, Damian scoffed and slapped his hand away, a bit to roughly. Because one of his claws nipped Dick's skin, making a thin line across it, which began to bleed. Dick hissed in pain and held his wrist. As soon as Damian realized what he had done he froze. His eyes wide and his mouth agape.

" Gray-Dick. I-I'm sorry. I-I-I-i d-didn't mean-" Dick city him off.

" it's ok. It's only a scratch." He said with a slight smile. Damian still only stared at the cut. He hadn't meant to be so rough. He just, didn't want to be touched. He didn't want Dick to touch him, to-to comfort him. He felt he didn't deserve to be comforted.

" Damian. Damian look at me." Dick said, slowly, Damian brought his eyes up to meat Dick's. When they did Dick almost broke. He had never seen such sadness in Damian's eyes before. He had never seen them look so-so lost. And powerless. So...

Vulnerable.

"Oh Damian." Dick said softly as he pulled the boy close, wrapping both arms protectively around the small boy. Wanting nothing more than to just shield him from the world.

Damian slowly broke down in Dick's hold. One tears drop after the other ran down his checks. Soon one by one they turned into many and pretty soon he began to sob. His shoulder shook violently and he had to bite his bottom lip to keep from wailing. All the fears and heartbreak from the past life time coming out in on moment.

As the tears soaked his shirt, Dick could only stare down at the raven haired boy in sadness. Damian was so strong most the time. He put up theses walls so high and so thick that it was hard to get the boy to even say anything to you other than "Tt" to you. But all you had to do was be patient and don't push him, then he'll Open up fuller.

Soon after his melt down, Damian had cried himself to sleep, right in Dick's strong arms. Feeling more safe than he has in his entire life. His head was using Dick's chest as a pillow and his arms were wrapped tightly around his mid section. His eyes were red and puffy, but firmly closed. Signaling the boy was asleep.

Slowly, Dick maneuvered Damian to were he was carrying him bridal style and walked toward the bed. He moved the laptop onto the floor and pulled the sheets back. Before carefully lying Damian down in the empty spot. As he began to let go of the boy, Damian's bright blue eyes snapped open and he reached duo and grabbed Dick's sleeve.

" Please. Don't l-leave me alone." He whimpered, small tears forming in his eyes again. Dick frowned deeply. He had never seen Damian so scared.

" Don't worry little D. I was just going to shut off the light. I'll be back in a flash. Promise." Dick said with a reassuring smile, before he pride Damian's hand off his sleeve and literally RAN to the light switch and flipped it down. Then he ran back to the bed. Once he made it, be gently scooted Damian over and slipped under the covers and pulled Damian into his chest.

Damian was back to sleep before he even kissed the top of his head gently and whispered.

" I'll never leave you. I'm always going to be here to protect you, even if it kills me."
