Summary
Then he took a deep breath and he changed. He ironed out every fold in his posture and his face until he looked like Superman again. His shoulders were broad, his gaze was confident, and his smile showed no sign of embarrassment or fear.
It’s genuinely uncomfortable to watch.
Especially since Bruce knows that change. He’s seen it in the mirror before entering parties or nightclubs. He’s always referred to it, internally, as 'putting on my better face.' The façade is his least favourite part of the day, ranking just below 'getting punched by supervillains.'
The idea that Superman is just Kal's better face, that would explain a lot.
It would also mean Bruce isn't alone.

Summary
“Clark,” at last he speaks, and Bruce’s expression is— his artificial smile is nowhere to be seen, his face a mask so blank it’s eerie, as though he’s been carved from stone. “Clark. You’re drunk. You don’t know what you’re saying.”
“No,” echoes Clark stubbornly. “I mean it. I’m in love with you.”
“You’re in love with me,” says Bruce, flatly. “After years of knowing each other, just like that. You’re suddenly in love with me.”
it's clark's birthday; he gets drunk. and really, who cares that there are other people in the room, or that he was worried about confessing in the first place for a reason? someone should tell bruce how much he's loved.

Summary
“Each time they loosen more, grow more casual, kicking boots from their feet and shrugging shirts over their heads until they’re left in their underclothes, climbing in beside each other like it’s natural, closing the gap in the space between them in the bed without talking about it, always without talking.“
Four times Levi stays the night with Erwin and the feelings that come with them.

Summary
“Don’t ever do that to me again.”
“Make you rescue a Thomas…from bandits?”
Wolfwood looks down at the wound in Vash’s shoulder. He'd mended this one first, hands shaking, stitches carefully placed.
He looks over at the wound in Vash’s side. He'd mended this one second, hands steadier, breathing less so.
He looks at Vash’s mismatched fingers, grasping thinly at the sand, masking his pain.
He looks at the light, steady and shining in Vash’s eyes, meeting his own.
“...Yeah.”
_________
A runaway Thomas brings Vash and Wolfwood closer than ever before.
