The doors to the study opened up wide and Dick stumbled inside the room. Tim looked over his shoulder to see who entered. Once he saw it was Dick, he returned his focus onto his laptop in his lap. Dick walked over and sat down next to Tim. He looked over at his little brother for a moment. Tim's eyes scanned the screen and his fingers were busy typing away, he didn't notice Dick drop his head in his hands and exhale loudly. 

Dick's head was killing him. He felt like he was just hit by a truck. He was light headed and dizzy and felt so cold all of a sudden. So he moved closer to Tim and rested his head upon his little brother's shoulder. He could feel the warmth of Tim's shoulder against his check and it felt good. His heavy eyes began to close suddently, he fought at first but he soon realized that it was a battle he was losing so he let go and allowed sleep to take him.

Tim looked over at his shoulder to see Dick laying on him. It wasn't unusal for Dick to be touching someone, Dick liked hugging and cuddling. He watched his brother for a moment and saw his eyes closed, Tim sighed but went back to his work. Soon Jason walked in and plopped into a chair across from them, busy texting on his phone. 

"Who are you texting you?" asked Tim. He was getting done with his work and his arm had just fallen asleep from under the weight of Dick, which grew more as he leaned more onto Tim. Jason looked up real quick then his eyes drifted over to Dick. A smile came on his face, and Tim probably thought he was thinking how lucky he was that Dick wasn't laying on him. Tim sighed and smiled as well.

"Well?" asked Tim, since Jason still didn't answer his first question. Jason was busy texting once again.

"Roy and Kor'i. We are going out tonight, don't know were yet but out. And Kor'i keeps sending me pics of different outfits for tonight and wow. Just wow." said Jason.

Tim nodded his head and closed his computer. He reached over and ran his hand through Dick's hair hoping that touch would wake him up, but it didn't. A part of Tim's hand grazed Dick's forehead and Tim could feel how warm his brother's skin was. 
Confusement cross Tim's face and he shifted a bit to look at Dick better. He moved and placed his hand against Dick's head. His eyes widen when he felt his head. He was burning up.

"Jason'' said Tim, but Jason wasn't listening. Tim exhaled and looked over at his brother who was consumed with his phone, "Jason."

"What?! What now replacement?!" yelled Jason. Tim didn't answer him. He hated that name Jason called him. Finally Jason looked up at Tim and he was going to yell at him but then he saw the concern look plastered on his face.

"What's wrong?" Jason asked Tim, just as Damian walked in with his cat in his arms.

"He's hot, like really hot.'' said Tim. Jason sat down his phone and stood up.

"Eww Drake! Finally revealing your feelings for Grayson.'' said Damian as he walked pasted Jason, who then shoved the kid aside.

"Stop it.'' was all Jason said and by his tone he got the kid's attention.

"What's going on?" asked Damian, now clearly worried about his big brother. Tim looked over at him as he sat his cat down and walked closer to them.

"I think Dick has a fever and by the feel of it a high one.'' said Tim.

"Well I'll find the thermometer. Be right back.'' said Jason as he walked quickly out of the room and down the hall.''

"-tt- Such a weakling. The fool gotten himself ill from his late night patrolling within the storm." said Damian how turned away and picked up his cat.

"Wait? Dick was out last night? But Bruce told us that we weren't allowed to patrol. Batman only went out for a few hours. Do you know when Dick got back?" said Tim.
Damian shrugged his shoulders and continued to pet his cat. Tim moved and laid Dick down upon the couch. He got up and went to get a blanket to cover Dick up with. Tim sat on the arm rest of the couch and awaited for Jason to come back. 
"This would have been much quicker if Alfred was here." thought Tim, but Alfred was away and Bruce left that morning for a league mission off somewhere. So it was just the boys all alone in the manor and Dick was incharge. 

"He came in at four.'' Damian suddenly spoke up. Tim looked over at him.

"Huh?" questioned Tim.

"Grayson. He got back to the Cave at four. I was up training and i saw him come in. He was soak from the rain out." said Damian who got up and left the room followed by his cat. 

Dick then moved some on the couch with a moan. His eye brows crunched up in discomfort most likely from the fever. Tim reached down and brushed some hair from his face. He could see sweat forming along his pale skin. This made Tim very uneasy. Dick was clearly sick.

Jason finally came in and he looked mad. 

"Damn thing. Took me forever to find it." said Jason, "here" 
Jason handed over the thermometer to Tim and sighed as he resumed his former seat. He grabbed his phone and huffed at all the missed messages he got while searching for the thermometer. He clicked his phone off and shoved it inside his pocket and leaned his head backwards on the chair. 

Tim placed the thermometer inside Dick's mouth and waited. As they waited, Damian came back in the room with an ice pack in his hand. He walk silently over towards Dick and placed in upon his forehead. Damian stood there for a moment looking down at Dick. Tim and Jason exchanged glances and smiled at the little demon. 

After some time, Tim took the thermometer and glanced down at it. Everyone awaited for him to speak, but he remained quite for a moment.

"Tim, dud come on. What is it?" Jason said who was clearly tired of waiting. 

"It's 104.6" said Tim who looked back down at Dick. 
Dick whole body was shaking a bit and he looked even more paler than he did before. Tim sighed as he looked at his big brother.

Jason then stood up and pulled out his phone. "Well give the kid some meds and he'll be fine. I gotta go, see ya.''

Damian and Tim watched as he left. Dick then opened his eyes, which were glazed over and his pupils large. He didn't seem like he was focusing on anything. He pushed the blanket off of himself and hear Tim's voice off in the distance. Just then his stomach turned and what seemed like everything he has ever eaten in his life came up. He shock as he violently threw up on the rug in the study. Tim jumped back and Damian made a face. Once Dick stopped he fell to the ground on his knees. Tim looked over at Damian who just shocked his head, grabbed his cat and left the room quickly.

Tim ran a hand through his hair and closed his eyes. "Just great" he thought. Tim finally moved closer towards Dick and laid his hand on his shoulder. Dick turned around and looked up at him.

"Timmy?" questioned Dick in a weak voice. Tim nodded and helped Dick up. He then lead him from the study and upstairs to his bedroom. 

---------------------------------------------------------------

Just as Jason was about to leave he saw Tim walking slowly with Dick by his side into Dick's room. Jason sighed, "Dick looked like shit." he thought.
He turned around to be met with Damian standing there with his arms across his chest.

"I would avoid the study if I was you, unless you wish to clean up Grayson's vomit.'' said Damian with a hint of a smile. But Jason could also see the worry that played within his green eyes.
"But your leaving aren't you?" he asked Jason.

Jason nodded his head. Damian brushed pasted him and entered inside Dick's bedroom. Jason sighed and pulled out his phone and texted Roy real quick that something came up, family crap and he couldn't come out tonight and for them to have a good time.
He turned and walked downstairs to get some medicine for his big brother.

Once he made it back upstairs he saw Damian sitting on Dick's bed, while Tim and Dick were in the bathroom. The sound of him throwing up were loud. On the floor next to the bed sat a trash can with a lot of bloody tissues.

"What's that from?" questioned Jason as he walked father inside the room and sat the medicine on the bedside table. He found himself a seat at Dick's desk. 

"Grayson had a bloody nose, then a seizure. Drake believes it from the high fever. It increased by the way." Damian said.

Soon the bathroom door open and Tim was almost completely supporting Dick as the walked out. Jason got up to help them out. They laid Dick down who shot them a smile and whispered thank you before his eyes closed shut. 

Tim wrapped his big brother up in the blankets and then turned to face Jason. 
"I thought you were going out?" Tim said.

"I was, but I figured that it might be best if I stayed here. For Dick.'' Jason said as he went back over towards the desk. Tim nodded his head and sat down on the edge of the bed.

"I think he might be out for awhile. So, I'm gonna get some shut eye. You should too, it's going to be a long night i fear." said Tim as he patted Dick's foot and got off the bed. Jason followed but stopped at the door. He turned around to face Damian who was placing a cold wet cloth on Dick's forehead.

"Aren't you coming?" asked Jason. Tim turned around and awaited the little demon's response.

"No. I'm staying by Grayson's side tonight." was all Damian said and he walked over and closed Dick's bedroom door in their faces.

"Should we be worried?" asked Tim. Jason just shrugged his shoulders and made it off towards his bedroom for the night.

--------------------------------------------

Damian was true to his words. He slept on the foot of Dick's bed and was by his side throughout the night. Both Tim and Jason came in to check on him but was shushed away by Damian.
In the early morning, Dick's fever was down to 100.3 and he had quit throwing up and seemed to be doing much better. 

Dick woke up to the sun beaming down on him. He covered his eyes as he pushed himself up. He rubbed his eyes clear. He felt still weak and tired but much better. He then felt a small amount of wait on his feet and looked down to find Damian laying there, fast asleep. 

A smile came upon his face as he leaned forwards and planted a small kiss on Damian's forehead. Damian moved a bit under the touch but he didn't wake up. Dick gently wrapped his arms under the sleep boy's form and lifted him up to the empty spot next to him and covered him up. Dick laid back down. He looked over at his baby brother and smiled at him.
"Thanks Lil D." Dick whispered as he fell back to sleep.
Tim and Jason soon came into Dick's bedroom to check on that afternoon to find both Dick and Damian fast asleep, with Damian's head on Dick's chest. Tim smiled and Jason just rolled his eyes and left the room. 
Tim walked over and touched Dick's head. It felt cool, which means his fever probably broke. He glanced over at Damian who looked a little flushed in his checks. He sighed and touched his head and closed his eyes. He felt warm now. 

"Great, now he's sick. And he is going to be such a joy to take care of. Not.'' thought Tim. He reached over and pulled the covers up higher on his brothers and left the room, allowing them two to sleep the fever away.
