Damian flails awake from his nightmare mostly by rolling off his bed to put it between himself and the door. His heart is pounding and he wants to hyperventilate, but he forces himself to take measured breaths. Titan huffs and leans against him. Damian leans back. He doesn't want to go back to bed. He wants comfort. He wraps an arm around Titus, even as he shivers. His clothes are sweat soaked. Sighing he changes his sleep pants, then shucks the sleep pants and shirt into his laundry basket. He gets a towel and dries himself off. He opens the middle drawer of his dresser and frowns at his sleep shirts, shivers again, and sighs. He opens the bottom drawer of his dresser, then lifts the false bottom he added so he can pull out his favorite sweatshirt to wear when he's miserable. It's soft and worn, with just one hole at the bottom. It's stolen from a pile of clothes Drake was throwing away months ago. Then he sits on his bed and tries to convince himself he just needs to go back to sleep, except he's restless and a hug would be really nice right now.
Father isn't back from patrol yet. He peeks in on everyone that's here before going to bed himself. It always wakes Damian up. He'd really like Grayson, but he isn't due to visit until tomorrow. Maybe he can sleep in Grayson's bed? It'll at least smell like him and he always has so many cozy blankets in his room. Titus stands by the door, as if he already knows Damian will want to leave. Damian puts his slippers on, pets his dog, then together they pad down the hallway. He's halfway to Grayson's room when a door behind him opens. He turns to frown at Todd, unsure why he suddenly feels himself relaxing.
They study each other silently for a moment before Todd asks, "Nightmare?"
Damian nods.
"Dick's room?" Todd continues.
Damian gives Jason the look that question deserves.
"Yeah, I've been sleeping for...yeah, me too," Todd pauses to run a hand over his face. "You want to borrow my Wonder Woman hoodie?"
Damian's eyes widen and he stops himself before he makes grabbing hands at Todd, instead he nods. Todd turns back into his room. Titus leans on him again. Damain yawns and lets Titus support him. Todd is texting and carrying his hoodie as he closes his door.
"Told Steph and Cass," Todd informs him. Then Damian lets Todd put the hoodie over his head. He gets his arms in the sleeves, pushing them up to his wrists. The bottom brushes the top of his knees. The extra layer is just what Damian needs to feel cozy. Then Todd wraps him in a hug and it's fine to wrap his hands into Todd's shirt and hang on. Damian is going to ignore that he shudders, it's brief and so it doesn't count. When Damian steps back, because Jason waits until the other person is done with the hug before letting go, Jason asks, "You want to come with me to get Tim or head to Dick's room?"
Damian isn't walking down the hall by himself if he doesn't have to, but he scowls because Todd should remember that Drake is away on a mission.
"He's back, got in the same time I did," Todd informs him.
Damian slips his hand into Todd's larger one as an answer. Tim is sitting up in bed on his laptop, even though all his lights are off. He stares at them, frowning.
"Come on, we're stealing Dick's ridiculously big bed. Girls are on their way," Todd explains.
Tim blinks at them. Titus crosses the room and nudges at him. "Yes, okay, it's a cuddle night. Got it."
Tim turns his laptop off and joins them in the hallway. Todd gets a brief hug and then he gets a brief hug, he doesn't even have to let go of Todd's hand, and then they're walking down the hall together. Titus trails behind them.
Grayson wakes up when the open his door. Damian will never admit to the happy noise of surprise he makes at the sight of him. And then Todd is grabbing Damian his favorite blanket from the basket Dick keeps by his door. Damian lets Todd wrap it around him. It's soft and grey with black bats all over it. Grayson lifts his covers and Damian crawls in and cuddles against him. He's so tired and now he's safe and warm. Dick says comforting things. Jason leans in and whispers something to Dick that Damian doesn't catch, but Damian just closes his eyes and lets himself feel safe. He wants to go to sleep, but he gets Dick to scoot over on the bed to make room for Steph and Cass. Steph has been having nightmares and she's sleeping over so Cass can comfort her. Jason makes Tim cuddle Dick and then wraps himself around both of them. Damian dozes for a moment, waking only when Jason gives a self-satisfied, "And that's how you do that."
Dick hums his agreement. "He's knocked out."
Damian lets himself peek. Tim is sleeping, face pressing against Dick's shoulders while Jason has an arm around him and is pressed close. Steph and Cass step in and Damian shifts.
"Where are you going?" Dick asks.
"Steph can sleep here. Duke shouldn't be excluded," Damian manages.
Jason groans. "I should've thought to grab him when we got Tim. Good thinking."
Damian nods his agreement and then gets up to push Steph into take the warm spot he just vacated. He accepts the hug she insists on giving him. Cass starts passing out blankets as Damian tells Titus to stay on his dog cot that Dick bought specifically for him. Then Damian wraps himself carefully in his blanket and makes his way to Duke's room. He can see light under the door when he gets there. He still knocks before entering. Duke sets down the book he's reading to frown at Damian. "You look like a...nevermind, rough night?"
Damian almost wants to challenge Duke to finish his sentence, but that would delay them getting back to Dick's room. "On our tour I neglected to inform you that Grayson has a large bed that is reinforced so it can fit all of us."
"All of us?" Duke repeats, still frowning.
"It is a 'cuddle night' and you should join us," Damian informs him.
Duke stares at him for a moment, then shakes his head, and gets up to put his slippers on. "It's not like I can sleep anyway."
When they get to Dick's room Cass is sleeping against Steph, who is sleeping against Dick, who has Tim sleeping against his back. Jason gets up and Damian lets himself get picked up and deposited next to Tim. He snuggles in because a Tim that isn't fully snuggled on both sides won't stay asleep for long and they just finally got him to sleep. He listens to Jason help Duke pick out a blanket even as he informs Duke that he has to sleep next to Damian because Jason and Cass both do better if they have the outside of the bed. Duke thankfully just agrees and cuddles in with the rest of them. Jason fusses with a few blankets, making sure everyone is wrapped up before he climbs into bed himself. He says something else to Duke, but Damian doesn't try to listen. It's a school night, he needs his sleep.
