Supermans P.O.V

I had talked about this with Batman, and after a lot of talking and a bit of pushing from Alfred we had decided to tell the world we were dating. In a classically horrible way.

The reporters swarmed the scean as the bad guy lay defeated, me and Batman (who had been put on crowd duty and had planned this) stood next to eachother as Snapper Carr held out his microphone to us "How did the Justice League defeat them this time?" he asked, Batman was fast to respond
"It was all The Flaah really, but..." he trailed off and I reached over and held his hand
"We have another thing to say, Me and Batman are dating." I said, just getting it out there.

Metropolis had never been fully silent before now. Suddenly all the reporters exploded in questions and voices errupted everywhere and I knew Batman didn't like it. I rubbed circles on the back of his hand and as if he remembered I was there he held my hand so tight that I'm sure if I was human he would've broken a few bones.

I tried to smile at him and reassure him while also trying to quite down the reporters, they were like a pack of excited puppys.

Suddenly the crowd started chanting 'KISS KISS KISS KISS' I looked over at Batman and I could tell -despite the cowl- that he was absoloutly mortified, he opened his mouth and tried to stutter something out but it was drowned out my the crowd. I decided that the best corse of action was to comply and I pulled Batman closer, kissing him. I pulled away as the crowd cheered and I could hear his heart beating fast, far faster than it should have been.

Batman was blushing really hard and I smiled slightly, I knew that if we had not revealed our relationship that him blushing alone would be enouh to make the cover. Suddenly a reporter asked
"Superman! What about the rumors that Batman and Bruce Wane are dating." they asked, I had to stop myself from laughing and looked at Batman who grumbled
"Don't ask."

Despite that being funny I could tell he still didn't like this and started to rub the back of his hand again. He frowned slightly as he looked out at the crowd and I could feel him shake slightly, nothing noticable unless you were next to him and with superpowers. Still, I considered pulling him closer and considered hugging him then deciding that no, he definitely would not like that.

Suddenly I saw his knees lock and acted fast, grabbing his hand tighter and while on my own like this that wouldn't be enough to hold him up it seemed to ground him enough that he snapped out of it and got back to standing normally. I'm sure that to the average eye it looked like nothing happened. He had never liked crowds, or feeling, or reporters, and I don't think he liked all three together.

Batmans P.O.V

I looked out at the large crowd starting to form and began to regret this. I think I was going to have a panic attack and I had never cared about what (my) people thought of me in the first place. I would protect them and it didn't matter if they thought I was their shining knight or their darkest criminal. But I had never liked the spotlight, weather it was the cocky playboy billionare or the untouchable black night I was never truely as confident as I let on.

I desperately hoped that my mask hid the look on my face and summoned all my self control to not step back and hide behind Superman where I would be saved from the hundreds of questions.

I felt sick and scared and I wanted to run, Superman waved and tried to answer what questions he could hear and knew I was comfortable with. I don't know how he does it. The various reporters made me want to go and die in a ditch somewhere where no one knew me.

Flashs P.O.V

I looked at Superman and Bats and I was so excited, like the enregy was literally jumping around me. I had a great idea and ran down the nearest road, reading all the signs until I found a crafts shop. I grabbed a bag and filled it with rainbow confetti and glitter. I ran to the empty counter and quickly put down some cash (the right amount, I did the math in my head)
"THANK YOU!!" I yelled.

I ran back and jumped through the crowd, jumping onto the place Superman and Bats stood and throwing the confetti and glitter on them. Batman spat out a mouthful of confetti and turned to me, glaring as his suit sparkled in the camera flashes. I grinned and I think everyone could tell that Superman was trying not to laugh at the absurdity of this situation
"I support you!" I said, and Superman muttered a thanks that quickly got drowned out and Batman turned away, I could of sworn that he looked relieved and then I realised that my opion actually meant something to him. I grinned even more and ran off to squeal

Supermans P.O.V

Batman looked at me and- taking advantage of my super-hearing whispered
"Can we go now?" he asked, I smiled and hugged him the flew off while carrying him. Once we got to the point where the cars looked like dots Batman stopped with the 'I'm okay' face and I noticed that he wasn't breathing
"Are you okay?!" I asked, he swallowed and trieed to answer
"I-I, I- so many people." he said and he let himself rest his head on my shoulder, suddenly I let go of him with one arm and he opened his eyes "Where ar-" I put an oxegen mask on him and flew up into space. When everything got just a little too much for me, I'd fly to the sun, giving that Batman was human sitting in a spot I found on the outside of the watchower seemed like the second best thing and I knew he had already made his suit space proof.

I broght him to a small design feture in the Watchtower, a place where you could sit and never be noticed but still get to stare at the stars. Batman looked at me and smiled, "It's nice up here." he said "I see why you like it. I'm assuming you like the sun more though," he looked at me
"Yeah, but staying heres worth it if I get to stay with you." I said. Batman let himself lean on me and relaxed, I grinned because he was truely relaxed right now and getting The Dark Knight of Gotham to lower his guard was a remerkable acheivment. I grinned into space, Batman trusted me. I love him, I love Batman and I love Bruce.

Ideas:
Crowd: *chanting* KISS KISS KISS
Batman: W-what *supermsn kisses him* *blushes so hard*
Reporter: OHMYWOW, THEDARKNIGHT FEELING

Whole lot of paragraphs on Flash running to grab confetti form a nearby crafts store and throwing it over them and saying 'I support you!!!' and batman has never looked so disapointed that this is what his life has come to.

After this Batman curles up in his cloak and does not move or talk or do anything for DAYS, everyone keeps looking at him bacause after everything got a bit too much to handle Superman flew him away and chose to go to the watch house because he thinks Batman would like likes the void and peace of space and let him be on his own for a while.

I JUST WROTE 'Snappar Carr' AS 'Chaffur Salmon' 💀

Batmans P.O.V, feeling queasy at so many people around him asking puestions, nearly has a panic attack, luckily Superman is there to keep him grounded.

The flash makes a public stantment saying that he thinks that everyone managed to 'break batman' and that he's 'restarting' because he is frozen on the floor in the watchtower and his not moved in days
