That's What Brothers Are For

Reading

Damian Wayne sat on the edge of his bed, his thoughts lost as he read his favorite book. He mumbled a "Come in" as Tim Drake knocked on his door.

"Come on, Bruce wants us to get some training in before dinner." Tim peered into Damian's room.

"One moment Drake, I'm trying to read."

Tim glanced at the book in Damian's hand. It had happen to be one of the Warriors books

"You read that series too?" Tim sounded a bit too excited for Damian's taste. Damian put his bookmark in and closed his book.

"What of it?" Damian said rather rudely, as he glared at Tim.

"I loved that series when I was your age! It's really interesting and different. Graystripe was always my favorite.

"Hmm, I think I like sandstorm the most." Damian admitted.

"Yeah she's okay too. Are you up to the new prophecy yet?"

Damian shook his head no.

"Oh it's so good! I think the best part is-"

"Don't ruin the story Drake!" Damian shouted, covering his ears.

"Oh right, sorry. What's your favorite book so far?"

Bruce walked up the stairs and toward Damian's door. What was taking them so long? Did they beat each other up? He certainly wouldn't put it past them to do so, but he hadn't heard screaming or shouting. He slowly opened Damian's door and brace himself for the worst. He was shocked. Tim and Damian were sprawled out on Damian's floor with a pile of books around them, talking like civilized human beings. Bruce cleared his throat, making his sons turn to him.

"Oh my gosh, sorry Bruce! I totally forgot we have training! C'mon Damian.." Tim and Damian were about to set out the door when Bruce motioned for them to stay.

"It's fine. I decided to wait until after dinner. It will be most convenient then. But make sure you are in the cave at 7:00 sharp."

Tim sheepishly nodded.

"Of course father." Damian answered.

Bruce shut the door, still wondering why those two were somewhat getting along. He decided to leave it be, and enjoy it while it lasted, which he knew, would unfortunately not be much longer.
