I'm just thinking about the hc that Damian will outgrow Tim one day, and Tim being upset over it, but one thing that Tim does have is Bruce's 'dad hugs' you know the time when you are at your dad's shoulder or below and hugs are just that much more like a weighted blanket.
^^Like that
Damian is relentless as soon as they are the same height. And Tim is upset, rightfully so, until he realises that Damian would no longer get dad hugs. So when Damian is rambling on and on Tim throws in a comment like- 'oh. Enjoy your hugs with dad by the way. Cus soon... Well you will find out.' and Damian has no idea what Tim means, until he sees it. Bruce tucking Tim under his chin, meanwhile Dick and Jason rest their heads on his shoulder. Tim gets engulfed in the hug and Dick and Jason... Don't.
Damian then takes every opportunity to hug Bruce while he can. To rest his head and hear Bruce's steady heartbeat in his ear. Now suddenly not wanting to get any taller
But, alas, the tides never seemed to turn in his favour. But when he stopped getting tucked under his father's chin he found he was ok with it. The hugs may not have been as covering l, but they were still hugs from his dad, so they held the same warmth.
