Clark looks at Batman longingly. He doesn't know when his feelings first appeared, he just knows he's deeply in love with Batman. He tries to keep his feelings in check thought, as Batman is still his colleague and he's pretty sure Batman is straight. He can't help but sigh though as he gazes into his eyes. "You got that Superman?" Batman asks Clark bringing him out of his trance. "W-what? Can you repeat that?" Clark asks sheepishly. Oh great, he thinks. I just embarrassed myself in front on my crush. Batman sigh, "We got intel that a villain will be at a restaurant near Nave street tonight . They are undercover to try and steal an amulet and are suspected to have power guns and meta abilities. You will be my partner to take them down." Clark eyes light up upon hearing the word "partner" from Batman's mouth. Although he's aware that Batman meant it in a professional manner, he can't help but feel his heart speed up. Budump. Budump. Budump. It feels as if Clark's heart could jump out of his chest at any moment. Clark clears his throat.
"Alright got it, we'll be going undercover at this restaurant, but what cover will be using. I just want to make sure we have our straight". Batman nods agreeingly. "Well, you can never be too prepared. To keep it simple we'll just be coworkers having a work related lunch together." Clark gives a nod of approval and the meeting is finally ends. Clark sighs. His car is currently in the shop which means he'll be walking home today. It isn't exactly his favorite choice of transportation but it'll have to do for today. As Clark walks outside he notices a black Cadillac parked outside as if it were waiting for someone. Suddenly the window roll down and he see Bruce Wayne. Although everyone is aware of each other's identity they rarely ever get to see each other outside of their costumes so it took Clark a second to register who he was looking at. "Clark, would you like me to take you home, it's only a few blocks from where I live." Bruce asks suddenly. He noticed earlier that Clark didn't have a car and figured he could use a ride. Clark's face heats up. "Yes thank you Bat- I mean Bruce." Clark stampers out and gets in the car. "So do you have a hobby?" Clark ask, trying to make this car ride less awkward. "Reading ." Bruce says. "Cool I love to read reading adventures, what about you?" Clark says, trying to keep the conversation alive. "I like mysteries, my favorite is called a Crooked Man. I find myself reading it over and over again." Bruce chatters excitingly. Clark smiles, happy to hear about something that excites Bruce. Bruce ends up spending the whole car ride to Clark's apartment talking about myself novels and The Crooked man. By the end of the car ride Clark has 5 recommended mystery books given to him by Bruce. Clark says his goodbyes to Bruce and heads into his apartment. When he gets inside he immediately falls onto his bed and smiles to laughs happily to himself. At first Clark thought that today would be a bad day (you know with his car being in the shop and all) but it wasn't. In fact it was the best day he's had in a while and all because of his stupid car decided to break down yesterday. But it's not over yet, he still has tonight with Bruce. Clark starts to imagine him and Bruce having a romantic candlelit dinner while talking about random stuff. He imagines Bruce pulling his face in and kissing him passionately. Although this will probably never happen, it is okay to dream a little, Clark thinks to himself as he closes his eyes and slips into a deep slumber.
