Suicide warning!!!!

"You are my sunshine... my only sunshine... you make me happy when skies are grey!" Dick sang as he walked down the aisle with Damian in the grocery cart.  They were grocery shopping of course, as it had become tradition for the two to go to the supermarket together, instead of Alfred.

"Will you quit singing that annoying song Grayson?  It makes you childish!" Damian said as he grabbed a box of pasta off a shelf.

"My mom used to sing it to me!" Dick said happily, ignoring the so obvious jab to him.

"I don't care, it's getting annoying!" Damian said, looking for the bread.

"Bread's up there Dami..." Dick said, seeing his brother's plight, "And plus, I love that song.  It makes me happy."

"Maybe I would allow you to sing it if you had a good voice!" Damian said, reaching for the bread.

"And maybe if I had a good voice you would allow me to sing a lot more songs...." Dick said teasingly, grabbing a juicebox from the shelf.

"Put that box of juice back Grayson, it isn't on the shopping list." Damian scolded, trying to block out Dick's humming.

"I'm buying this stuff though so I get to buy what I want!" Dick said, humming You Are My Sunshine a little bit louder.

"Why do you torture me so?" Damian said to the sky, shaking his fist in an angry motion.

"Hey, you're my partner in crime.  You've got to deal with me!" Dick said, happily humming a little louder just to annoy his younger brother.

"Blah blah, partner.  My partner is my father!" Damian said, "And I should rightfully be Batman!"

"Uh uh... no names in public kid!" Dick said, only a little urgently because not many people were in the aisle.

"I should just shout it out for all the world to hear!" Damian said, glaring at his brother, then turning to pick up the eggs.

"Be careful with those!" Dick said, then started to sing again the song, "You are my sunshine...my only sunshine..."

"SHUT UP!!" Damian shouted, getting a ton of heads turned his way.

"Dami, be a little more quiet... you're gonna be taken away from my custody..." Dick muttered, pulling milk out of the freezer.

"Sure Grayson." Damian said, rolling his eyes, "But I swear if you even start to-"

"You are my sunshine!" Dick sang happily.

"This is gonna be a long day...

+_+_+_

"You got the groceries?" Jason asked, as Dick and Damian approached the door.

"Yeah... got your juiceboxes too." Dick said, winking at his brother.

"SHUT UP D!" Jason yelled, grabbing one of the grocery bags and rushing inside.

"What was that about?" Tim asked, coming to the door.

"Jason is embarrassed to admit he still drinks out of juiceboxes!" Dick said laughing and handing Tim a few bags.

"I'd be embarrassed too if I had such a childish want!" Damian said.

"Haha... I got you your Happy Meal from McDonalds while you guys were gone, Damian." Tim said, waving a box in front of Damian's face.

"Not in front of Grayson Drake!" Damian whisper shouted.

Dick raised his eyebrow and whispered into Damian's ear, "So you wanna go to McDonald's now?" 

"Agh!" Damian said, rushing inside.

"Here Tim.  I got the flowers, roses as you asked for." Dick said, passing Tim a package.

"Thanks Dick, I'll give them to Steph on our date tonight... think she'll like them?" Tim asked, walking with Dick inside the house.

"Love them.  You know her." Dick said, nudging his brother.

"Yeah, then she'll probably sass me about something!" Tim said, chuckling nervously.

"Don't sweat it Timmy, you'll be great!" Dick said, "Just make sure you're back by patrol time."

"Of course Dick, I'll be back.  I may be late.  You know Steph, she's always got a little something extra planned to torture me or whatnot." Tim winked as he set the grocery bags down onto the counter in the kitchen.

"Of course.  If she does, just text me or call.  I need to know where you are and stuff." Dick said, putting his bag down onto the counter besides Tim's.

"Yeah, yeah, parental custody and stuff, can't be out late drinking..." Tim waved his hand and then walked out of the kitchen with a evil smile, "I might be doing a little something...."

"Seriously Tim?" Dick yelled, shaking his head.  He leaned against the kitchen counter.

"Dick?" Cass said quietly coming up to him and touching him on the shoulder in her quiet Cassandra manner.

"Yeah Cass?  You need anything?" Dick asked, holding his head up.

"Want.. to go... patrol." Cass said, her words chopped up.

"It's not your night though."  Dick said, carefully looking at her.

"Want to go anyway." Cass said, shrugging her shoulder.

"It's Harper and Steph's night though!" Dick said, looking at her more carefully.

"Wanna go with her.  Best friend." Cass said, moving to the next room.

"Sure, fine, be careful."  Dick said, tired with this.

"Hey Dick!" Jason walked in with a juicebox and a cigarette, "I'm gonna go watch Supernatural!"

"Cigarette out Jay." Dick said, rubbing his forehead.

"No!  I wanna have it in!" Jason argued, then left the room.

"I swear I can't take this anymore!" Dick yelled as he left to go up to his room.

+_+_+_+_+

"Dick?!" Tim yelled, running up to Dick, "I'm going out with Stephanie now!"

"Okay... just actually come back this time." Dick said, sighing.

"What?!  Last time we went out to the movies and got-" Tim cut himself off, "Okay fine, midnight I may be back!"

"Tim... I'm gonna lose custody of you if you keep doing this..." Dick said.

"Don't sweat it, I doubt you will!" Tim winked and went away.

"Get that cigarette out of your mouth Jason Peter Todd, that's the second time today!" Dick yelled as Jason walked by with a bag of popcorn.

"Nah..." Jason said, ignoring his brother.

"You're gonna die young Jay!" Dick yelled, coughing in the wake of the smoke.

"I don't care you're not the boss of me!" Jason yelled.

"Then get out of this house!" Dick shouted back, trying to get rid of that smell.

"I might as well you dick!" Jason shouted, spilling popcorn all over.

Dick turned around to see Cass sneaking out of the house with a bag, "Where are you going?"

"Harper's..." Cass said, "Only for a few days!"

"Cass, you can't just leave, I'm going to lose custody of you to!"  Dick fretted.

"It's okay, it's only for a few days!" Cass said and walked out of the house.

"I really really can't take this...." Dick said, rolling his shoulders.

+_+_+_+_+

Suicide was something Dick had thought about a lot.  Ever since he was eight.  But now, it was becoming a reality.  As much as he tried to be happy and a perfect 'father' to his brothers and sister, it was failing fast, dropping like his heart.  Like a stone into a well.

He had tried, but maybe if he died they would go to a better parent.  A much much better and deserving parent.

So he took up his knife.  His mind made.

+_+_+_+

"Grayson?!  Grayson?!" Damian yelled, looking for his brother.  He needed his permission to spend a few days with Jon Kent down in Metropolis.  He called out a few more times, listening to his voice echo across the manor.  Finally he went into Dick's room.

He wasn't in there, but the bathroom door was cracked open a little, so Damian walked through.

"..." Damian almost fainted, "TODD!!!!!!!"

+_+_+_+

"What is it Damian?" Jason said rushing up to his brother's side, "Oh my gosh...."

Dick was laying on the ground blooding gushing out of scarred arms and it barely looked like he was alive.   His breathing didn't look to well.  But the thing that scared Jason the most was the pleased peaceful look his brother had, "No..."

"What happened?" Damian asked Jason, in an almost innocent voice, "What villain has done this to Grayson?!"

"Grayson himself..." Jason replied, lifting his brother, his mentor off the bathroom floor and down to the cave,  tears spilling out of his eyes, "Alfred will not know about this, okay?  Call Tim and Cass....."

"What happened to him?  What do you mean he did this to himself?" Damian asked, his face the picture of frightened innocence that was about to be killed.

"He tried to kill himself demon.... he tried to kill himself..."  Jason felt like he was going to break down, but just for Damian he didn't.  He couldn't believe his brother would go this far... it was unimaginable.

"What do you mean?" Damian's voice jerked Jason back into reality.

"He tried to kill himself....." Jason said, as he laid his brother down on a table and order to Damian, "Help me stitch his wounds up... his heartbeat is failing...."

+_+_+_+_+

Damian sat by the bed that Dick laid on.  Dick's breathing was heavy, but he was alive.  And Damian was grateful for that.  But would he wake up?

Why would he try to kill himself, why?

Maybe something would bring him awake...

Damian knew!

Damian sang, "You are my sunshine... my only sunshine... you make me happy when skies are grey.... you'll never know dear how much I love you.... please don't take my sunshine away..."

At the last words his voice cracked and died.... "Please come back to me Grayson...."

Jason stood at the door, his heart about to break, knowing Dick was on the verge of dying.  He bent his head down and listened to Damian repeat the song, heartbroken.

"please don't take my sunshine away...." Damian sang his head by Dick's as cried into his brother.

And Damian could've sworn he heard Dick speak, Don't worry Little D... I'd never leave :)
