Title: Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood
Rating: PG
Pairing: Clark/Bruce
Word Count: 122
Disclaimer: I own nothing
Author's Note: For mithen! The prompt was: Clark/Bruce, please don't let me be misunderstood. I'm not very happy with this! But it's the best I can do. :( If you want something else, then just give me another prompt and I shall try again! Unbetaed, so point and I shall correct.



It was easy. So easy to be misunderstood. Especially if you were a person of few words. Who said more with silence than actual, spoken words.

It was so hard to find people who could understand you, understand everything you didn't say, didn't voice.

But when Clark met Bruce, he knew. Even though they were surrounded by other people, Bruce with two women hanging off him, somehow, when their eyes locked, they had formed an instant understanding of each other.

Clark could see Bruce's fatigue, how he desperately wanted to be anywhere else but at the party, just as he knew Bruce had understood him, how Clark had felt the same; Kal-El's aloneness.

When they were together there were never misunderstandings.

I love this idea that with just a single glance, they knew; they recognized something - or one another, even. And that there's a silent understanding between them, something no one else can be a part of. :) Well done!

(and *hugs* I hope you feel happier soon!)

I love it too! When they can just look across a room, and have this instant connection, this instant understanding of each other. :)

I'm feeling better today, thank you. :) I think yesterday's moodyness was just down to hormones! Stupid things...

I'm really glad you liked this! Thank you for commenting! And Happy Birthday! :D *glomps*

Oh, I always love the image of them knowing they've met another kindred soul... *melts* I think it's lovely! (Although you tempt me with another but...no, I'm not going to pretend to be dissatisfied just to be greedy for more, lol...)

Yay!! I'm so glad you liked it, Jen! :D

I wanted to do so much more with this prompt, but whenever I tried to write it... I could just never get it down the way I had it in my head! If that makes any sense at all... So I was quite dissatisfied with it. *sighs*

If you do want something else, you know I'm always willing to write fic for you! :)

Thank you for commenting! :)

I´m sure they share the feeling of loneliness, the fatigue and exasperation of having to pretend to be what they´re not.
Understanding without words must be one of the best things about a good relationship!
A beautiful little drabble!

To have someone understand to that level... wow. It must be amazing and terrifying all at once. :)

Thank you for commenting, Eve! I'm so glad you liked it! :)

Awwww. Love it.
Bruce is such a man of few words. To find someone who understands you instinctively is a blessing.

*pets Bruce and Clark* They must be so happy to have at last found someone who understands them like that! :)

Thank you for commenting! I'm really glad you liked it! :D
