damn bro that's crazy

chapter 1

bruce was having a terrible day at wayne indestries so as soon as he was done with the rest of his paper work he was on his way to a local cafe in gotham what he didn't expect was to see clark there....

bruce: what are you doing at my daily reading spot kent.

clark: well maybe i got bored doing the same damn thing every single day.(he said with a smirk)

bruce: didn't know you had it in you to walk in gotham without the suit on.

barista: GOT A VENTI CARAMEL MACHIOTO FOR BRUCE!!

bruce: well looks like i have an excuse to leave goodbye kent.

clark: bye bruce.

bruce then left the cafe not bothering to look back so he missed the longing gaze clark sent his way seems they'll never now what the other truly thinks, bruce took a stroll in the park to clear his mind he was so confused as to why clark kent would be in his city.

does he think the world is going to pause just so he can take a vacation or is he just trying to annoy me for his personal amusement.(bruce thought as he neared a duck pond.

POV shift to clark:

why does he always do that why can't he just talk to me like normally.. instead it's always just business business business he never asks me how my day is or if im up to anything(he thought)

clark: tch jerk.

clark then held his arm out for a taxi and eventually made it back to his hotel.

POV: back to bruce

alfred: you know im sure mr kent would tell you why he's in gotham if you just asked him.

bruce: he may be superman but he's also a journalist if this has anything to do with bruce wayne and not the batman we both know it's not just a social call.

alfred: well i bet he just wants to be a friendly chap and enjoy a nice cup of tea with someone who technically his coworker.

bruce: (sigh) if had you optimism i bet i wouldn't always be so stressed..

alfred: tea master bruce?

bruce: thanks alfred.

the next day both bruce and clark bumped into each other at the same time in the park

bruce: let me just cut to the chase why are you here and why do you keep running into me just when i think i get to be alone?

clark: it it's just....

bruce: just.. what?

clark: there's just something i've wanted to ask you for a while now and.... i thought if i came to see you i'd have to tell since a came all this way...

bruce: okay then but i can't answer a question i haven't been asked.
