    Summary

    When Bruce’s eyes opened, meeting Clark’s gaze, the corner of his mouth tugged up.

     

    There he was.

     

    The man who was now a father to more than he could count on a single hand and a guardian to a whole planet, though he had more help now – with Clark at his side, and to a much greater extent, the League.

     

    Even if he sometimes looked like that twenty-something with too much money and too much faith, that version of Bruce didn’t carry the scars of years of heartbreaking, dogged, foolish determination. That young man hadn’t suffered the years of the infuriating crusade that anyone who loved Bruce had no choice but to believe in because it was a part of Bruce, as much as his arm, or his hair, was a part of him. To love Bruce was to love the angry and frightened little boy who would stop at nothing to make sure no one ever suffered as he did.

     

    And, God, Clark loved him.


    Bruce gets injured, Clark patches him up, and they're in love.

    That's it. That's the fic.

    Summary

    "You think we'd have liked each other if we met as kids?" Clark asked.

    Bruce laughed softly. "We did. Sort of."

    Clark frowned. That was an odd answer. "We were in our twenties when we met."

    Bruce turned over, to shoot him a look, mouth twitching into a smile. “I thought you had some photographic memory.”

    Summary

    It’s not like Clark hasn’t noticed. He’s an investigative journalist, for God’s sake, and also he’s got eyes. He didn’t need enhanced senses to see the way Bruce’s eyes had flared when Clark had, in a fit of frantic and unthinking desperation, grabbed him by the neck. But the senses didn’t hurt. He could hear every flutter of Bruce’s pulse through the armored kevlar. He could feel the minute flex of the plating as Bruce swallowed. The way Bruce had gone instantly limp, and then just as quickly rigid in Clark’s hold.

    Summary

    Clark has to help Bruce out right before an undercover mission. Bruce wasn't supposed to even be on the mission but he's making the best of a bad situation here. Now, if only Clark would stop worrying so much...

    --
    “And you really want to do this?” Clark asks. Again.
    Bruce finally turns his entire body towards Clark. He clasps his hands in his lap to keep from just grabbing Clark’s hands and bringing them up to his ear.
    “You’re not even really piercing it, okay?” he says. “You’re re-piercing it. You’re just opening up an old piercing, alright? That’s not nearly as bad.”
