Bruce Wayne x female!reader [[The Batman]]

Riddle me this!?

My footsteps echoed dully through the corridors of the bat cave as I walked over to Bruce. He stood in front of the monitor, his mask abandoned on the table. Slicks of wet hair hung around his face and the remains of his black eyeshadow ran down his face.

"Bruce?"

No answer. I sighed and stepped closer, grabbing his hand.

"Bruce?"

He finally looked up, his grip around my hand tightend. I gave him a reassuring smile while my eyes scanned his features. To be honest, he looked like shit. Dark eyebags lingered under the eyeshadow and a few scratches adorned his beautiful face.
My eyes finally resting on his, I felt how Bruce pulled me closer to him. I hid my head in his chest, as I took in his scent. He smelled like rain and dirt and the faint smell of blood lingered on his clothes.

"You need to shower", I finally said and looked up, "The Commemoration for the Mayor is today"

Bruce nodded and turned his face back to the monitor. The news were playing and they were full of the mysterious new villian, who called himself the Riddler.

"You're gonna find him", I said and slightly squeezed Bruce's hand.
"I know", he mumbled and looked down, "Will you accompany me today?"

"Of course", I smiled, "It'll be good for you to be out a little bit"
Bruce looked at me perplexed:"I am out every night"
I sighed:"I know. And I have to admit, sometimes I wish, you weren't"
Bruce looked down and pulled me closer by my hand.
"I know", he mumbled and softly rested his chin on top of my head, "I know"

I pulled away from him:"Im gonna go find Alfred, see you later"
Bruce nodded. His hand left mind and I felt cold on an instant.

Once again, my steps echoed through the empty corridors , as I left the cave, on my to find Alfred.

"Bruce?", my voice was so silent, that he almost didn't hear me, but when his eyes locked mine, I knew that he had heard me.
"Y/N", Bruce said.
H

is eyes scanned my face for a second before he turned back to the road.
I swear, Bruce was the only wealthy person in this city, who would drive himself.

After a few minutes, we reached the church and I could already see the crowds of paparazzi, waiting at the entrance. Bruce stopped the car and looked at me one last time, before getting out. I followed him and immediately, the journalists were after Bruce, like he was some wild animal.

"Mr. Wayne, do you have a moment!?"

"Mr. Wayne, can you tell us, why you're here?"

"Are you planning to support the new Mayor, Mr. Wayne?!"

"Mr Wayne, is that your Girlfriend!?"

The last question caught me of guard. I locked eyes with Bruce and turned his back towards the paparazzi and grabbed my hand. I slightly leaned against his side, while we waited.
I allowed my mind to wander and suddenly started to wonder, what Bruce and I were at all. We have always been close, since we were children. That was of course, due to the connection our families always had. With me being an Arkham and Bruce being a Wayne, our ways had to cross at some point. And since Bruce' parents died, we've been even more Inseparable.
