Bruce laughed loudly at a joke that only he heard.
It was not even that funny, Bruce thought. Nothing ever was anymore.
He thought he could do this. He thought he could continue on after... but no, given the looks that were being bestowed upon him, he couldn't.
He had laughed at one of the society parties again, when no one was telling a joke.
Bruce knew that he was starting to seriously worry people - Lucius, Dick, Alfred. But how could he explain to them what was happening to him? That his very soul was being ripped out of his body every time he saw Clark with...her.
A person who he could never compete against, even if he tried.
Clark didn't know of course. He never now would know how Bruce's heart shattered every time he saw her, every time he saw them together and he had to watch her receive all of Clark's love, wanting nothing more than to be on the receiving end of one of those loving looks. But he never would be.
After all, Clark was a man of his word, and once he promised you something, he never broke his vow.
Bruce knew he needed to get himself together, start building himself again in the ruins of his shattered life.
To become the heartless being so many thought he was.
Wait.
'Heartless'
Bruce started to laugh loudly again. Yes, he was heartless.
After all, Clark had stolen his heart from the moment they met.

Date: 2007-04-18 07:14 pm (UTC)I've got a very rough draft of a fic from Bruce's POV on Clark and Lois' wedding day. I'm not sure when I'm going to post it, but you might want to look out for it someday.
Thank you very much for the feedback! I'm very glad you liked it.
