It is a nice Day
Everything is so peaceful
It puts me at ease
Bruce gently wrote down as his eyes were focused solely on the ink that might scatter to the tanzaku (traditional Japanese paper )
A bead of sweat slowly fell unto his cheek which almost dropped unto the tanzaku, but he managed to wipe it off before so
The library was the place he would often go to clear his mind. With all the stress from his company and his duties as Batman, This is the place where he would find solace in
Suddenly, his stomach started rumbling, indicating that he was starving for something. And so he stood up and carried all his materials unto his small pouch
He made his way to the exit and nodded slowly to the librarian managing the front desk. There were tables and chairs outside indicated for chatting and eating, things one is prohibited to do inside the library
He took out a pack of sandwiches from his bag and munched them without hesitation. His hunger was getting the best of him that he didn't quite notice while being engrossed by the haikus
This is the habit that helps put his mind at ease, something that he can fully express his thoughts and ideas on. And no one actually knew he was into this, not even Alfred himself
And so he looked at his wristwatch and noticed it was 9 am in the early morning. He went for a short jog early at 6 am near a place where he would often jog to, which is his guilty pleasure
He didn't manage to see her today, and so he decided to just take his past time on the library where it was quiet and peaceful
Aside from the Manor, this is the place where he really would be most comfortable in
His extroverted persona is nothing but an act, when in fact, he is probably the biggest introvert in Gotham and he knew that for himself
He dislikes talking to people and feel uncomfortable talking to women whom he doesn't really feel anything with but it is his responsibility as Gotham's most eligible bachelor
He sighed to himself upon finishing his last sandwich as he stood up from his seat and went back to the library. It suddenly got lots of people for some reason, mostly young adults, but Bruce didn't really mind
As long as they don't make so much noise
And speaking of noise...
Beep
A sudden sound came out from Bruce's phone
He checked it out and saw Diana's face in the icon sticking her tongue out
D: Where are you? I'm bored.
Bruce groaned to himself knowing once she finds out where she is, he'll be done for. Diana can be the loudest and most distracting lady whenever she would be on shambles. Clearly she wouldn't fit on such a place like library
She could've just texted him earlier when he was jogging and maybe he could've invited her, but it's too hot now
And so he replied...
B: At the Manor.
Bruce heaved out a sigh of relief upon responding the message. He was about to put his phone in silent when suddenly another beep rang
The beep was slightly louder this time and so he was met with looks and glances from the people
Bruce gave them a smile of reassurance as he checked his phone yet again
