Clark's skin was looking less green, Bruce thought, but of course that could just be the bandages making his skin look white. Clark caught his wrist with weak fingers and Bruce looked up at him.

"I'll be fine in the morning." His voice was a hoarse whisper. The effects of a massive amount of kryptonite poisoning.

Bruce didn't know if he should be shouting at Clark for being so stupid, or holding him desperately. They had almost lost him. But he knew that Clark wouldn't have acted in any other way, no matter how much he yelled. Peoples lives had been in danger.

But it was so... disorientating to see Clark like this.

They could only have one sun lamp, as well, since too much yellow light now would completely overload his system...

"Bruce. I'll be fine," Clark repeated, squeezing his wrist. "Thank you for taking care of me."

Bruce gently twisted his wrist out of Clark's hand. "Be more careful, next time," he said gruffly, taking Clark's hand in his own.

Clark smiled up at him, his blue eyes tired, but full of emotion. "I love you too, Bruce."

Oh, Bruce. *pets him*

I love that Clark always knows what Bruce means to say. :)

Oh, this is so sweet! Poor Bruce is all broken up over Clark's close call, and Clark is gently understanding.

I love the details: hoarse voice and shade of green skin because of the K poisoning, and only one sun lamp allowed due to the fear of overloading his system. Awesome! :)

I liked adding in those little details, they seemed to make it all more real as Bruce freaked out a bit. *pets him and Clark*

Thank you for commenting, Brady! I'm really glad you liked this! :)

Aww, that dialogue at the end was just so them! I love ow Clark has mastered the Batspeak - I bet learning Kryptonian is almost easy in comparison!

[starsandsea.livejournal.com]

I think their lines at the end was my favorite part of this fic! LOL, I'm sure Kryptonian was simpler!

Thank you for commenting, Eve! I'm really glad you liked this! :)

Oh no – Kryptonite! Poor Clark.

I understand Bruce so well! But he was so right about Clark. He wouldn’t have acted in any way.

Bruce gently twisted his wrist out of Clark's hand. "Be more careful, next time," he said gruffly, taking Clark's hand in his own.
Clark smiled up at him, his blue eyes tired, but full of emotion. "I love you too, Bruce."
That was absolutely amazing. Perfect!

You did such a marvelous job with this story Star! There was so much emotions, so much love and understanding – and you captured it all so well! This story totally made my day! Thank you so much for that! :)

*pets them both* No, Clark's wouldn't. But that doesn't make Bruce worry any less.

AWWWWWWWWWW!
The details you put in the story without saying it elaborately... I could imagine it easily. Poor Clark. And I somehow thank you for not writing the agony in detail. :)
And poor Bruce... he's almost lost Clark. But he'll be okay and all yours right now, I think. ;)
I'm happy that Clark translated Bruce's words easily. :) And it made me happy that I could feel his deep concern and caring for Clark.
Thank you very much, Star! This gem is very precious!

I'm... not sure I could have written about it all in detail, lol! I'm so squeamish!

Clark is used to translating bat-speak now! *pets him* And Bruce was so very worried about his Clark. *pets him as well*

Thank you for requesting this, Rai! I enjoyed writing it. I'm so glad you liked it too! :D
