Summary
A thought suddenly occurs to Dick. He might get punched for asking, and Damian might already know…but if he does know, then why would he still be this stressed all the time? “There is something,” he begins, thinking carefully about what he wants to say. “You might have tried it already, though.”
Damian rolls his eyes. “Just tell me, Grayson.”
Dick takes the plunge. “Masturbation.”
Damian is silent for a few seconds, his cheeks rapidly flushing. “What.”

Summary
Damian takes a deep breath and unlocks the bathroom door, sitting on his bed. He glances at the door leading to the hallway, and gets up again to turn the key and engage the deadbolt. Drake may be annoyed if he finds out about the locked door (Bruce is very firm in his beliefs that there should always be an easily available exit, and he's instilled that principle into his third son), but dinner isn't due for another ninety minutes, and no one should disturb Damian until then. He walks to the window, drawing the curtains, then makes his way back to the bed. There, he pauses to consider whether or not he should remove his clothes; he decides against it, too embarrassed to expose himself in that way, even with no one able to see him.
Leaning back against the pillows, he inhales, holds the breath for a count of four, and releases it. There's nothing wrong with what he's about to attempt, he tells himself. It's a natural biological process. With that thought, he gathers his courage and slips a hand beneath the waistband of his sweats.
or: damian has been stressed. he tries out a relaxation technique recommended by his eldest brother. it doesn't go as planned.
