Bruce Wayne x child!male!reader
Summary: Bruce and his son (Y/N) go through the first day of school. (Y/N) is scared, but his father and brothers are there to help him.
Warning: Fluff, Bruce and the boys being soft for their baby brother.
Bruce tried not to be emotional right now. His son (Y/N) was ready to go to school, but Bruce is not ready to let him go. He grew up far to quickly for Bruce's liking. The others didn't like it too. They wanted their little bird to be little bird forever and not grow up.
He watched from the kitchen island as (Y/N) was sitting in Damian's lap, drinking orange juice through a straw. How time flies...
" Are you alright master Bruce? " Alfred asked walking past him.
" Not really. I don't want (Y/N) to grow up. Ever. "
" I know that feeling too. He is too adorable to grow up. "
Bruce took a long sip of his coffee to wake up. Patrol was a mess last night and the boys and him could barley function, but they were going to be there for their baby bird. He really can't miss his first day of school.
Bruce made sure to pick the best school he could. It was a private one, but it had amazing security. Bruce still gets mad at himself when he remembers the kidnapping at the gala. He already gave the school the list who can pick up (Y/N). It was all of them and there would be no problem with that. The next problem on their hands is getting (Y/N) to school.
" But I don't want to go. " (Y/N) whined in Damian's lap.
Bruce and the boys tried everything to get (Y/N) to like it. Even if they had to threw in a few lies here and there... But that is not the point.
" But you have to. We all have to go somewhere we don't want to, but it's your first day and you are going to love it. First days are always amazing. " Damian tried, taking a mug full of strong coffee to wake up.
" But I want to be with you guys! "
" I know that baby bird, we all want to stay with you as well, but we can't. Those are the rules. "
(Y/N) huffed and pouted, crossing his arms. Bruce smiled and leaned forward and started smoothing the frown.
" Where are your brothers? " Bruce asked Damian.
" Baby bird, how about we wake them up? " Damian asked his younger brother, who nodded.
" We will be back father. "
Bruce sighed and waived them off. He wasn't going to go upstairs and see the chaos that was about to ensue. Had Damian decided to do this alone, without (Y/N), he would have been killed. No doubt.
He could hear some screams, but drank his coffee. Was he going to check what happened up there? No. (Y/N) was not going to get hurt. Damian? He might get something broken in retaliation.
" You are not going to check, are you? " Alfred asked.
Alfred smiled, washing the dishes.
" At this rate, you are going to be late. "
" Well, what can you do? I can always say first day of school. And I have 5 boys, so they will believe me. "
The was a sound like something crashed, then there was silence. Damian ventured down to the kitchen, holding (Y/N) who was smiling.
" Who got hurt? " Bruce asked.
Bruce simply nodded. He doesn't need to know more.
" Papa. " (Y/N) asked, reaching out.
Bruce took him into his arms, reliving Damian of being (Y/N)'s carrier. The rest of the brothers ventured down, glaring at Damian, but smiling at the youngest. They were already dressed and ready to go.
" Do you guys need any coffee before we go? " Bruce asked.
They all shook their heads and off they went. Bruce prepared himself for a battle with his youngest.
" Papa! I don't want to go... Please. "
" You have to baby bird, I don't want you to go as well, but I have to. You will have fun, I promise you that. Would I ever lie to you baby bird? " Bruce asked his son.
(Y/N) shook his head and muttering a no.
" I know it's scary, first days sometimes are, but you are going to be fine. "
(Y/N) laid his head on Bruce's shoulder as they went to the garage to pick a car. He picked a black car and the boys made sure that (Y/N) was strapped in.
The unenthusiastic yesses he got were enough of an answer. Bruce forced himself not to laugh. This is the usual first days of school that he was used to.
" Okay, baby bird. We are here. "
Jason wanted to agree, but Tim smacked the back of his head. Jason glared at him, but Tim was unfazed.
" Don't worry, I will take you to the classroom. "
Everyone left the car and said goodbye to (Y/N) for the day, giving him hugs and kisses and some encouraging words. Dick was trying not to cry. After Bruce took (Y/N)'s hand and was out of earshot, Dick sniffled.
" Pull yourself together Grayson, we are in public. "
Tim and Jason agreed, but Jason glared at Tim.
" I smacked you because you were going to agree with (Y/N). We don't need him to freak out. "
Jason rolled his eyes at Tim, ignoring Dick's sobs.
" What is this family? " He asked himself.
Bruce could barley function at work. He couldn't focus and the only thing he could think of was (Y/N). Is he doing okay? He just wanted to go to the school and pick him up right now, but he knew that (Y/N) needed to be there. He needs to socialize.
He had hoped that he is a social butterfly and not a hermit. Maybe... Just maybe it could happen.
Bruce stood in front of the car, waiting for (Y/N) to come out. He tapped his fingers against his forearm. He smiled once he saw (Y/N). He was talking to the a girl with curly black hair and a blond boy. (Y/N) said goodbye to his new friends and ran to his father.
" Hey baby bird, how was it? "
And Bruce listened to his son as they were driving home, still excited from the first day. And he was more than happy to chat his brother's ears off. They didn't mind at all.
Bruce was listening to (Y/N)'s day, relishing in the memory that was now burned into his memory. (Y/N) was sitting in Bruce's lap, waving his hands in the air to demonstrate what he was saying.
" You are not listening! "
" I am baby bird, don't worry. "
(Y/N) carried on without a care in the world. When he was finished Bruce asked him what he wanted to know.
Bruce kissed (Y/N)'s head and tickled him. (Y/N) shrieked with laughter, filling the room with his laughter. The boys and Bruce watched their baby bird, smiling alongside their father. Even Damian, the toughest nut to crack, was smiling. Alfred took a picture from the side, for the family album. (Y/N) was the glue needed to make this family somewhat normal. They all needed him, just like (Y/N) needs them.
