how would the batboys take care of their sick s/o?

Dick is 100% a coddler that just won’t!! leave!! you alone!! at any indication of distress he is at your side, extra blankets in hand along with tylenol and liquid medicine that makes you scrunch your nose and tastes like bubblegum on acid. he stares you down in a battle of the wills to make sure you swallow the medicine (and don’t secretly trash it while he’s not looking) and get plenty of rest. he considers skipping patrol until you feel better but you stand your ground and make him go (it’s more for your peace of mind more than anything but you won’t tell him that) he also tries cooking you some of alfred’s chicken noodle soup, and jokingly feeds you. it tastes horrible (but you won’t tell him that either)

Jason knows exactly what to do. he immediately gives you a warm shower in lukewarm temp, cleans you up and wraps you in blankets and makes sure you rest up in bed. he measures your temperature hourly, and cooks you tons of delicious comfort food. he hovers over you, touching your forehead, making sure you’re comfortable, etc. while you drift in and out of sleep he just. stares at you. occasionally checking your pulse (he knows that the chances of dying because of a common cold are extremely slim but he can’t help but think you look like his mother, unconscious and shaking and lying on the floor. effects of the latest drug she’s gotten her hands on while he’s scared to death that she just might not wake up this time.)

later when you’ve made a complete recovery from your cold, he evades any questions about his behavior. (he won’t tell you that he’s done this a million times before)

Tim is just. at a loss. yeah he’s been sick before but it’s usually gone after like a day bc his immune system is weirdly strong?? he looks up what to do on the internet and just kinda?? does it?? he’s very technical. gives you all the required meds, lets you rest up, and then leaves you alone (lowkey in fear that he’ll also catch a cold. you tease him about that later. a lot.) he’s obviously worried and all and he puts aside his fear of getting infected and asks if he can get anything for you.

Damian is considerably worried and immediately enlists alfred’s help bc he has absolutely no idea what to do so it’s more alfred taking care of you than anything. but he’s there every step of the way so you guess it’s damian taking care of you by default. he’s extremely attentive and by your side the entire time to the point where he’s persistent on accompanying you to the bathroom. “damian. no.” when you get better he insists it was all because of him and demands you give him a kiss as payment.
