People said that it wouldn't last. That something would happen, and then he would break Clark's heart. They said he was using him, only taking him to his bed so he had access to Superman in a vulnerable state, and could do experiments and run tests. And poor Superman was a victim of Stockholm Syndrome.

Bruce gritted his teeth when he heard that one.

This was why he hadn't wanted anyone outside of their families to know. He knew that they wouldn't understand. But he was lucky. Clark did. Clark always had, though it had taken him a while to truly do so. It had taken him a while to admit to it all, as well.

But Clark did know. Knew that when he gave his heart, fully, as he had given it to him... that nothing could break it. That it was forever.

Yay! I'm so glad you liked this, Jen! I originally had a different idea for the prompt, but when I started writing it turned all angsty... all of my fic seems to be angsty lately, woe!

but of course people would assume the worst, and of course Bruce would hear of it. I can just imagine him gritting his teeth and trying not to let it get to him... *pets Bruce carefully*

*pets Bruce carefully too* It must be so horrible to hear things like that, and not be able to do anything about it all...

I always love the image of Bruce as reluctant to commit, in part because he knows it's not a light thing for him. His intensity is not given frivolously!

I love it so much too! Bruce is reluctant to commit because it's all or nothing and too many people don't understand that. *pets him again*

Thank you for commenting, Jen! And for requesting this! :)
