(Author's note: lmao I'm #73 in the government tag? That's weird considering I haven't gotten to the government part in this.)
"How do they fit?"
"Good, thank you."
"It's nothing, lay down."
"We're sharing a bed?"
"What, you don't want to?"
"I don't mind, I just thought I was sleeping in the other room."
"That's the guest room. You are NOT sleeping in my flat's guest room."
"What's wrong with it?" He giggled.
"Nothing. It's pretty cozy."
"So, what is it then?"
"Maybe that I haven't seen you in years?! You're not sleeping in my fucking guest room. And if you wanna sleep there so bad, I'll sleep with you. Share a bed with me or share a bed with me."
He laid down and wrapped his arms around you, no words were spoken but you both knew the sentiment.

Burnt eggs. That's all you could smell, it woke you up from a light sleep.
"Bruce?"
He wasn't in bed anymore, and you smiled, realizing why the house smelled of bad cooking.
As you walked to the kitchen, you were greeted by Bruce, who looked disappointed.
"I was gonna bring you breakfast in bed."
"Aw, that's sweet. If I had known, I would've slept more." You pouted and he placed the food back on the table.
"Did the smell wake you?"
"Yeah. How'd you burn eggs?"
"I don't know. Your pan is weird."
"Leave my pan alone, it was all you" you rolled your eyes jokingly and cracked a smile.
"Really, I oiled the pan but it still stuck. Even after I took it off the heat it kept burning!"
"It's okay, hun. These ones taste good." You smiled and took a bite out of the pancake.
"I would hope so."
"I don't have pancake mix, did you make these from scratch?"
"Yeah."
"They're really good, thank you"
"No problem."
"You're not gonna eat?"
"I already did."
"Aw, you didn't wait for me?"
"I was hungry."
"I get it. So, I thought I'd wake up to an empty bed. What made you stay until morning?" You picked up your fork and waved it at him.
The pancake piece folded to gravity and you shook it, egging him to answer.
"I'm in no rush to leave. And I don't want to disappear on you again. Not without notice."
"Very sweet, but do you promise?" You stuck your pinky out and put your hand in front of him.
"I do. I promise." He interlocked your pinkies and for a moment, you felt like you were kids again. Making him promise everything and seal it with his pinky.
"You'd make a good husband."
He sipped coffee from a 'cat mom' mug and furrowed his brows.
"Huh?"
"Nothing. Um, I'm gonna go shower. Don't disappear on me!"
"Won't."
You ran away from the plate you dusted and looked back to see him grimacing down at his thoughts.
'Maybe I shouldn't speak my mind...'
