Bruce closed his eyes in anguish, mentally flinching away from what they had seen.

"Bruce," Clark whispered his name hoarsely, and Bruce's eyes flew open.

Clark's eyes were staring into his own, the light blue turned dark by pain. And something else. Bruce swallowed. Past the pain, the agony, deeper than than it, was worry and concern. And deeper still, he thought he could see glimmers of love. For him.

Bruce swallowed again. That Clark was worrying about him when he was so badly injured... His pale skin was tinted green with the glow of Kryptonite, its poison reaching far into Clark's veins.

He forced himself to break eye contact with Clark, to steady his trembling hands. "It's going to be okay, Clark." He removed medical supplies from his belt, almost missing Clark's small smile. Almost.

"I know." Clark's smile grew, belief shone in his eyes. Bruce found himself breathing a little easier, his heart slowing its frantic pace, and felt a tiny smile tugging at his own lips.

Poor Bruce and Clark.

But then again now they'll be on sick leave and who knows what they'll use the time for.... XD

Nice one.

Oh wow, Star, a beautiful drabble, and for me?? *blinks away tears*

I'm very touched, and honestly thrilled that you wrote this and dedicated it to me, especially since I've been offline and away from LJ and the fandom for so very long. *aghast* So, what a way to come back onto LJ on my birthday!

It's gorgeous, Star, a perfect little hurt/comfort and romantic story moment, with both Bruce and Clark so caring and so in-character. And so sweet! Wonderful, wonderful. :)

THANK you, thank you so much. It's lovely, and you made my day.

*hugs*

Yay! *dances* I'm really glad you liked it! :D

You really deserved this, since your stories, especially your H/C ones are some of my very favorites. :)

*hugs Bruce and Clark* Both more worried about each other... *pets them*

Thank you for commenting! I'm thrilled that you liked it! :D

[paxwolf.livejournal.com]

Of COURSE I liked it! It's the sort of thing that's right up my alley! Thank you again!

And I'm more touched than ever by your saying my h/c fics are amongst your favourites, particularly with so many wonderful writers and fics out there - and now more than ever in my long absence!

I'm working on more "Necessary Force" almost as we speak, if that helps! :-) (check out the original fanart for it that I've just received from a friend and posted!)

Happy New Year, Star! :-)

Hurt/comfort at its best!

Beautiful, Star! So like Clark to be worried about Bruce while he's the one so badly hurt! And Bruce hurting for Clark is perfect, too. :)

[starsandsea.livejournal.com]

They're both more worried about each other! *pets them*

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

I love seeing how Bruce loses his cool when it comes to Clark being injured. He´s always so much in denial when he himself is hurt an so in anguish when Superman is the one in pain.
And Clark is all trust and love ... *sigh*

[starsandsea.livejournal.com]

I know, Bruce never admits when he is hurt, yet when someone he cares about is hurt... Especially Clark, since he's supposed to be invulnerable!

*hugs Bruce and Clark*

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

Aww! I love it when their trust in one another is what allows them to overcome their fears and problems! they are both scared, but they both trust in each other.. so of course they have to be okay! Be strong, boys! there's nothing that can stop you!

[starsandsea.livejournal.com]

Exactly! As long as they have each other, there's nothing that can stop them. As long as believe in each other, trust each other, nothing can take them down.

Thank you for commenting, Mina! I'm really glad you liked it! I know I owe you mail! I'm just so behind with everything at the moment... I'm really going to try and answer it soon, I promise!

[sasha-anu.livejournal.com]

This is perfect the way they work together, calm each other, and depend on each other even when they're in pain.

[starsandsea.livejournal.com]

Aw, thank you! *pets them*

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

Oh, the trembling hands undo me! So wonderful...

(I'm sorry this is so late! I'm catching up on things that happened during Christmas still! But I'm very happy to run across it now, it's just what I needed...)

[starsandsea.livejournal.com]

*hugs Bruce* I felt so bad for him here. Superman getting hurt like that just isn't supposed to happen! *hugs them both*

*glomps* Don't worry about being late, I know I've been spamming everyone for almost 2 months now. I'm going to stop after tonight, I promise! :p
