Sometimes, Peter Forgets He And Dick Are Related

Sometimes, Peter forgets he and Dick are related

So they’ll be sitting next to each other on the couch eating takeout and talking about their day or things they planned to do that weekend - only for the realisation to hit him.

That Dick isn’t just a distant cousin or close friend like some of his documents like to state - but in fact, a variant of his bio dad from another universe who he’s grown accustom to and come to appreciate in his own way.

The Richard Parker he’d heard about through the nostalgic tales of his uncle - confident, fiercely loyal and charismatic - sitting beside him in shorts and a ratty tee discussing the fortune cookie that he took upon himself to open (“it can’t be my fortune if it wasn’t supposed to be my cookie..right?”)

Dick wasn't some distant figure in the albums of photos Peter owned anymore, a memory trapped in folds of his mind where the outlines of a person he once knew grew faded and worn.

He was alive - a little weird but also funny, surprisingly dorky and kind of annoying when he wanted to be. Sometimes he laughed at a joke so loud it echoed across the apartment and other times he'd nod and pat his back in silent acknowledgement.

He’d fall asleep into his cereal one morning but be up early cooking pancakes and eggs the next.

His actual bedroom was kind of a mess and he caught the man sleeping atop a pile of his own folded laundry more than once.

(and lets not even bring up his lack of boundaries when it came to belongings - for someone who was supposedly an only child, Dick was such a sharer)

Sometimes, looking at him was bittersweet too.

When the inevitable thought followed, that his dad - his real dad - had never had the chance to surpass what the world and Peter knew him to be.

That he never lived long enough for Peter to discover the human he was outside of fatherhood. Outside of the sacrifice he made for his family, for his legacy - for his son.

The realisation is fleeting and soon lost to the ebb and flow of his consciousness - but the weight of it lingers.

A thought that haunts him, in their stretches of silence.

Damian + Peter sibling headcanons

As told through the stages of Damian’s life:

Toddler Damian who has to sit between Peter’s legs when he’s being babysat while Peter plays on his psp console so he doesn’t Wonder Off.

Toddler Damian who sees it as his god given right to bounce on Peter’s well made bed while he’s at school or work and eat his stashed lollies then lie that he never (the wrappers are peaking out of his fists)

Kid Damian who says hes not a baby and not tired when Peter asks only to knock out on the couch 20 minutes later

Kid Damian who quotes Peter’s opinions like scripture nonchalantly to his friends in middle school to seem cooler.

Kid Damian who makes unhinged animations on his DS Lite for mandatory viewing when his siblings get home

Kid Damian who doesn’t like lying but chooses to remain tactfully silent whenever Bruce notices Peter’s snuck out

(He leaves the window closest to the tree outside open so Peter can sneak in again)

Teenage Damian who moved into Peter’s bigger room in high school but kept some of the things he couldn’t take to college as older sibling lore

Teenage Damian who runs down the stairs to see a home-for-the-holidays Peter setting his bags down at the door and breaks into a smile rolls his eyes

Teenage Damian who ducks out of Peter’s head ruffles with an annoyed groan and weak protests to knock it off

Teenage Damian who’s kept the fliers to every student photography exhibition with Peter’s work in it that he’s ever been too

Teenage Damian who finds himself on a three way call with Jason and Peter after crashing his car for the first time because he snuck out earlier and he’s in sooooo much trouble now

They make a game plan while Jason spends the entire call ribbing him (he’s on repair duty)

Teenage Damian who ducks his head in weak embarrassment walking across the graduation stage as the familiar whoops from the crowd overshadow the announcement of his name to receive his high school diploma

———

This is early 2000s older sibling coded if anyone’s lived through that…experience 😭

If you’ve come this far, I’m writing a fanfic where Damian and Peter have a similar dynamic! Check it out if you like :)

Peter: I'm 17, that's like practically an adult, and I've been a vigilante since I was like 14. I can take care of myself.

This is a D.W quote from Arthur btw I just found the coincidence that her initials are the same as Damian’s waaaaay too funny

[Damian and Peter sketching on some rooftop]

Damian: what did you draw?

Peter: (flipping his sketch book) A dog. And he’s bored. What did you draw?

Damian: (sighing) A stick.

Peter: A stick??

Damian: A stick from the park where YOU PROMISED TO TAKE ME TODAY!!!

I heard someone say that all your hobbies can be traced back to a single moment which made me remember that when I was in elementary school, my sister and I would have "storytime" late at night after my parents went to sleep. And it would just be me rewriting the ending of shows we watched when we didn't like the endings. Chat I was literally writing fanfiction for wild Kratts.
