    Summary

    "Where is Superman?" Dick asks with a small frown.

    "What do you mean?"

    "Aren't you dating him?" Dick tilts his head with genuine curiosity. "He should be here taking care of you. I thought Superman helped people, especially his boyfriend."

    "What-- we-- we're not..." Bruce starts to stammer, not sure how to even answer this.

    "Are you and Superman in a fight?" Dick presses, eyes big, voice dropping into a hushed whisper, "Because when me and my best friend at school fight we say mean things, and then we say we're sorry."

     

    (Or, Battinson trying to be a good parent to Dick while fighting against his feelings for Clark Kent. Dick's there to save the day.)

    Summary

    "So, maybe you've found your home here in Gotham. At least it's not that far, compared to Kansas." Bruce's voice is smooth and steady, his tone low.

    It's hard to keep a straight face at that.

    Clark's lips curve into a fond smile as he chuckles and shakes his head, leaning back against his seat, a hand rubbing across the nape of his neck.

    "Yeah. Maybe I have. The coffee's great here. And the company is really nice." Clark offers a smile as he meets Bruce's eyes, holding his gaze for a beat too long before returning it to his pie.

    He doesn't miss the way Bruce's heart rate stutters at his comment.

    --
    Or, Clark Kent can't do one night stands, and Bruce is just his usual human disaster.

    (This story officially ends at Chapter 5.
    Everything after that will be extra chapters, which I'll post whenever I feel like it!)

    Summary

    Bruce’s eyes dart away from him, and Clark thinks he sees a faint pink blush spread across those pale cheeks.

    “I meant,” Bruce tries again. “I haven’t done this before.”

    Clark blinks at him owlishly, taking in the different emphasis on the words. Bruce still refuses to look at him, blush growing more and more prominent by the second. And oh- oh.

    “You haven’t had sex before,” Clark blurts out.

    Bruce sighs and looks up at the ceiling, obviously embarrassed by Clark’s lack of finesse.

    Summary

    Clark wasn’t completely oblivious about him having a type. He was self aware enough to recognize when he was slipping into a habit. He knew he was done for the moment he heard Bruce laugh.

    Of course, at that point he’d been the Batman still.

    Summary

    Bruce has had a stressful week. He doesn't usually indulge in unhealthy habits (shut up, Alfred) but tonight he just needs a few minutes of quiet and so he lights a cigarette on the balcony. Clark finds him there, offering a much more satisfying way to relieve his stress.
