Supermans P.O.V

I sat on the couch reading the paragraph of a text Lois had sent me when I heard Bruce come up through his hidden elevator. He had been out on patrol when Killer Croc showed up, and Killer Croc had fought hard.

Whether it was not have slept in two nights or the various inguries that cover his body or a bit of both, Bruce limping and every movement looked painful, he wore some simple pants and my navy blue hoodie. "Are you okay Bruce?" I asked and I got up so I could support him as he limped towards the kitchen
"Fine, Kal." Bruce groaned out,
"I'm not suggesting letting me patrol." I reiterated "Just let me get stuff for you and help you out?" I asked, I knew better than to push him too far when it came to him being 'okay'.

I hugged him and he tried to push me away
"I'm not weak." Bruce said
"I'm not saying you are." I said and I let him go
"My answer is no, I'm perfectly capable of completing today myself." Bruce said
"Bruce please, you scare me when you get hurt like this. I know you're always going to stay up too late and swing around the city no matter how many things you break, and I understand that you're always going to be in danger, but please at least let me help you at home. Please Bruce?" I begged, Bruces face soften
"Oh Kal," he kissed me softly and sweetly, the kind of kiss that reminds you he cares, that he can be gentle, that behind all his armour there's a person, "You don't have to worry, I'll let you take care of me here."
"Bruce, you don't worry enough sometimes." I said despite how relieved I felt "You flew your plane into a kryptonite missle to stop it form hitting me once, you barely survived and didn't even lose the annoyed expression while in the med bay." I recalled
"Yeah that sounds like me." Bruce said, I sighed.

"Come on." I said and I pulled him up into my arms bridal style, he wrapped his arms around my neck "You barely ate, you must be starving." I told Bruce and walked to the kitchen,
"Mhm." he hummed "I've got a board meeting at 9:30, I can just call instead." Bruce said
"That's fine," I floated to reach one of the higher the cupboards "Is everyone taller than me?!"
"Yeah, pretty much everyone," Bruce kissed down my neck and my eyes fluttered closed
"Bruce." I said, I tried to make it sound dissaproving but it didn't.
"Can I not?" Bruce bit down and I moaned slightly
"B-bruce, not now or here." I asked and he stopped, "Okay," I stared at the random assortment of ingredients that I had placed on the table and hoped I would think of something.
"You have no idea how to cook do you?" Bruce asked
"Not a clue." I replied confidentially
"I'll just get Alfred to make something." Bruce said and I walked away with him.
"That's probably best." I said. I brought a cup of coffee to Bruces bedroom, "Here." I said as I handed it to him.

I woke up with Bruce hugging me, we had... had fun, let him attend his meeting, gotten into boxers and hugged, we must've fallen asleep at some point because there was morning sunlight making it's way through the gap in the blinds.

I sat up slightly and yawned,
"Kal?" Bruce asked and I kissed his forehead
"Don't worry Bruce," I pulled him into my arms and I felt him relax and fall back to sleep.

Both the Metropolis and Gotham news papaers sat on side table (presumably Alfred had dropped them off while we was sleeping). I picked up the Metropolis one and started reading, Lois and mys article was good, there was a funny comic, and the rest was pretty much ads or rumors about important peoples private lives. I wonder if Bruce had to deal with that? Without thinking I ran my hand through Bruces hair as I thought about him, when he relaxed further and smiled slightly in his sleep I realised what I was doing. Batman likes headpats.

I smiled and looked at the time, it was sun rise so it made sense I was waking up (farm boy and everything) but Bruce? I was going to give him a few more hours, not only does he need what ever sleep he's willing to give himself, but he is also definitely not a morning person.

A while later Bruce woke up, I had finsihed both the newspapers and was just letting him sleep on me and running my fingers through his hair
"Are you-" Bruce looked up
"You smiled in your sleep, don't pretend not to like it." I said
"I wasn't going to." he mummbled and he lay back down on me and let me keep doing it. I kissed him and he smiled and kissed back "I love you." he said, when both our comm links beeped
-Batman! Come to the watch tower and to the meeting, now! This isn't a request!-
-Superman! There's a meeting in the watch tower-
I laughed at the difference between ours calls, "That's fair." Bruce agreed grumbly,
"Come on," I pulled upright
"Five more minutes." he mummbled.

After a few minutes we got in costume and Bruce helped fix my hair again.
"Thanks," he put on an oxegen mask and I carried him through space to the watch tower. I carried him in and dropped him down on the floor through on of the entrances made for those of us who can fly through space. "What do you think it'll be about?" I asked Bruce
"Not a clue Kal." he replied.

J'onn walked through the hallway and stopped to look at us
"Congratulations." he said with no context
"Excuse me?" I asked
"You're dating?" J'onn said,
"He can read minds." Bruce groaned and buried his head in his hands
"It was supposed to be a secret." J'onn realised "Sorry-"
"It's fine just don't tell anyone please." I asked
"Okay. No one else knows." J'onn reassured, I saw Bruce relax slightly.
"Thanks." I said
"You two are adorable," J'onn walked off to the meeting.
"No one calls me cute and gets away with it." Bruce mummbled
"You sound like a sulking child." I laughed, he punched me in the face.
