"Really? I wouldn't want to bother you."

Clark takes a deep breath, Inhaling Bruce, his deep earthy air laced with petrochor. Clark knew when he'd been in the caves

"I never finished my tour"

Bruce doesn't mind needy. He could be that, too. He just gets so focused sometimes that it's hard to come up for air.

But that's what Clark is good at, why Bruce loves him. They were a good balance.

"You can always come find me."

"I can be needy. Maybe too needy."

They both had their love language.

But the age old adage , opposites attract was all too true.

He tucks his arm around Bruce, using his free hand to gently stroke his arm.

Clark always tries to create a safe space for Bruce.

"Yeah." Bruce had been distracted, ultimately, and was now feeling the sting of that with Clark's question.

He crawls in and curls up against Clark's chest.

He smells like home now, and all Bruce wants to do is bury himself in Clark forever.

Clark pulled back the dark sheets, so very Bruce..

He put his arm out for Bruce to let him settle against his chest, if he wanted.

"Are you.. sure?"

Bruce toed his socks off at the edge of the bed, then tugged his shirt off, tossing it aside. He crawled onto the bed, aware that his daily life was not all that great to lovers or soon to be husbands.

He was a hard nut to break, in terms of routine.

"Here it is."

Clark knew he needed his vigilantè time. Which he didn't interfere with... unless Clark had cause to.

He'd rather have had Bruce in their bed, in his arms, especially after such a life changing decision.

"I wanted to see your face."

He tossed aside the game controller, game off.

|| Me and them both...everything became collateral damage.

Following the sound of Clark's voice, Bruce hikes the staircase, ascending the flights slower than usual, but he was still on the tail end of healing, or that's what he's telling himself.

"Hey," he says, walking into the room where Clark is.

Bruce needed... Batman time. It wasn't personal.

"Up here!"

Clark hadn't seen Bruce since he asked for his hand the night before. He woke around two am to find him gone.

He wanted to give Bruce space to process, but he needed Bruce... selfishly.

He'd begun overthinking.

Maybe Bruce wasn't sure? Changed his mind?
