'Clark, I can't meet tomorrow. Something important came up. I'll see you, around,'

The text haunted Clark. It had been a week, and Bruce had not replied. Clark published his story, and it was a big hit. He was happy, and he wanted to know what Bruce thought, but after two days of Bruce not replying, he didn't have the nerve to text him anymore.

His boss decided that since he did a good job on the story, he should have two weeks of paid vacation to relax. This made Clark extremely overjoyed, as he could stay home, help his mom around the farm, and save money by not calling in the farmhands.

Clark woke up early this morning because his mom had a doctor's appointment. He made his way to the kitchen, pulled out the eggs, and began to make scrambled eggs for his mother.

After he finished making her breakfast, he went to the backyard and started feeding the animals. He came back in briefly to say goodbye to his mother before she left for the doctor's office.

Around midday, Clark made his way out to the barn. He had promised his mom to fix the tractor today. Clark brought the radio out to the radio and turned it on. He began to fix the tractor, he began to sing.

After an hour or so, he felt a presence behind him. He looked up and saw Bruce standing in the doorway, leaning on the doorpost. Clark gave him a brief once-over before ignoring him.

"Hey, Clark," He said, coming forward only for Clark to continue ignoring him. Sighing, Bruce pulled the screen driver out of his hand, forcing him to face him.

"I'm sorry, I know I haven't texted you back but I've been busy," Bruce said, he reached out to touch his shoulder but Clark flinched and stood from his stool.

"It doesn't matter, You don't owe me an explanation," Clark snapped, brushing past Bruce and heading to the door. Bruce went to speak again, but a car pulling up stopped him. They looked over and saw Clark's mom getting out of the car.

Clark went over to her and helped her out of the car. "How was your appointment?" He asked, following her into the house, with Bruce following him.

"Oh, Clark, you won't believe it. Someone paid the bill, and the doctor said I should come in next week for treatment," She said, happily clapping her hands. Clark went up to her and hugged her.

"That's wonderful, Mom," He whispered into her hair. His mom pulled away and made her way to the kitchen. Leaving Clark alone with Bruce. Clark sighed before turning to face him, he looked at the smug look on Bruce's face and got confused.

"What's that face for?" Clark asked, suspiciously, crossing his arms.

"I am happy her Appendicitis will be treated," He said, smiling. Clark nodded then frowned.

"How did you know about that?" He asked, then realization crossed his face. "You paid her bill," He stated.

"Sure did, Superman," Bruce answered, making Clark stare at him in shock. "I'm Gotham's greatest detective; I figure stuff out," he laughed.

"Your Batman," Clark whispered to himself, but Bruce heard anyway and nodded. "Wait, is that why you haven't been around?" Clark asked.

Bruce shook his head, "No, I found out before. I haven't been around because I can't keep a secret from you and I know you wouldn't let me pay your bills,"

"Bills? Not to sound ungrateful, but you only paid her hospital bill," Clark stated. Bruce pulled an envelope out of his pocket and handed it to Clark. Opening it, Clark realized that it was a bank statement stating that their house was paid off. "How?" he asked.

"I bought the bank," Bruce stated as if it was the simulator thing ever.

"The whole bank?" Clark asked, shocked, receiving a nod from Bruce.

"Why?" Clark asked, confused as to why Bruce was doing all of this.

"Because I love you, Clark, and I hate to see you suffer. And I hate standing by and watching, so I had to do something. I was away from you because I knew I couldn't keep it from you," Bruce said.

"You love me?" Clark asked softly, a blush rising over his cheeks.

"With all my heart," Bruce responded. Suddenly he felt a pair of soft lips pressed to his.

"I love you too, Bruce," Clark said, wrapping his arms around Bruce. "But if you disappear on me again, I will laser you," He said, making Bruce laugh.

"I'll keep that in mind," Bruce replied, pulling him closer.
