    Summary

    The distance between them disappears in a single step, his hand coming up without hesitation. “Hey— it’s okay, I’ve got—”

    “You don’t have to do that!” Tim’s voice cuts through him.

    Dick freezes. For a second, he doesn’t move. Doesn’t pull back, doesn’t press forward, he just stops, caught in the moment as the words shake him harder than they should.

    You don’t have to do that.

    Not don’t touch me.

    Not that hurts.

    Not even stop.

    Something else.

    Dick’s brain scrambles to catch up, then it clicks, the interpretation sliding into place with a quiet, awful clarity.

    Oh.

    It’s not that he can’t.

    It’s that he doesn’t want—

    Dick pulls his hand back like he’s been burned.

    •···•···•

    Things haven’t been right between Tim and Dick for a while, and Dick is painfully aware of the fact that Tim doesn’t want Dick anywhere near him, so when he finds Tim hit with cuddle pollen, he freezes, because despite how desperately Dick wants to comfort his little brother, he won’t cross his boundaries.
    It only gets more complicated when next time, Dick gets hit with pollen, and Tim’s the one to find him.

    Summary

    After a traumatic experience at age 6, Peter Parker hasn't spoken a word. Most blame it on the fact that he witnessed his Uncle die in a horrible fire, this is only partly true. Now, almost 10 years later Peter is given the chance to finally speak, but will he take it? Or is the fear of his Aunt to much for him to take that chance?

    Either way, Tony Stark can tell something's not quite right about the kind hearted May Parker.

    (Don't get me wrong I love Aunt May! But I always wondered what if we put a little darkness in the character? That's where this AU was born. Peter's life as Spider-Man wasn't easy before and now with a manipulative and abusive guardian, things only get more complicated but he's still determined to listen to his uncles words: "With great power comes great responsibility)
