Batmom & Batfamily Imagines 『√』

so close yet so far

Warning(s); heartbreak? Angst?

Note; lmao, another Bruce Wayne. Sorry. I know I'm late with this one but the fact Bruce proposed to Selina still makes my heart confused so here u go, the result of the weird feeling in mah chest.

Added a little twist of mine and this is kinda an AU where nobody's a hero.

When you heard the news you didn't know how to react, both Bruce and Selina were your closest friends, you love the both of them but the thing for Bruce was---more than just a friend. You had been close with the both of them, when they fight you were always neutral, never picked a side.

Here you were, taking care of the boys when Alfred announced that Selina said yes to him. You didn't even know he was proposing, you knew they would flirt from time to time but you always thought it was just a harmless flirting, you always teased them about it.

Your heart shattered into pieces but, on the other hand, you were happy for them. It confuses you, the tight feeling in your chest was killing you, it felt like it was trying to stop your heart but kept it thumping at the same time.

"Are you alright?" Damian asked you, he was sitting on your lap, his green eyes were narrowed in concern.

You forced a smile on your face, pinching his cute, little cheek gently earning a pout from the youngest boy. "Why wouldn't I?" Ruffling his hair, you moved him off your lap.

Ace, the dog, as if sensing your complicatedly mixed feelings softly barks at you. He lifted two of his legs up, his paws nudging your hand in an attempt to cheer you up.

"As much as I want to play, I need to cook to celebrate." You scratched the dog behind his ears before leaving with Alfred to the kitchen, cooking a lot of food to surprise the new happy couple.

You couldn't stop stealing glances at the two, they had their hands laced with each other's, you spotted the ring on Selina's finger. You wanted to whimper at the pain in your chest, it struck you like an arrow through your heart, you could practically felt it bleed.

Then again, deep down you were happy for them. Seeing them exchanging loving glances, they surely adored each other. You were smiling, though it was more like a sad one.

"(Y/n)?" Selina's voice interrupted your thought.

You hadn't realized you were poking your food with the fork in your hand. You gave her a sheepish grin, "I think I zoned out again."

She rolled her eyes playfully at you, she seemed to glow with happiness, your complete opposite. She looked prettier, her lips moved, indicating that she was talking to you. Probably scolding you for playing with your food.

That's right, that was the reason why Bruce fell for her.

She was a mature woman, she handled things like an adult would, she was a badass too. You remembered back then, she would tell you things about random guys confessing their love to her. She turned them down immediately in a polite manner.

You? Things you did was only taking care of Bruce's kids, spending most of your time with them as soon as you got home. You loved them like your own, they were so precious with their different personalities.

"Are you alright?" Bruce repeated the same question his son asked you 6 hours ago, his hand was settling on your shoulder in a friendly gesture.

Thus caused you to wonder, would it be different if he touched Selina in the exact same way? You could imagine his touch would be hundred times more gentle and warm.

So close yet so far.

"I'm alright, I just don't feel good." You lied smoothly, putting down the fork before you stood up. "I think I will go home, congrats you two."

You were hesitant, debating with yourself if you should hug them or not, then again if you don't they would be suspicious. So, you hugged them, trying to keep it natural before leaving the dining room after saying your goodbyes to the boys.

You drove back to your home, tears streaming down your face. You didn't bother to wipe them, you let them fall freely from your eyes, ruining your makeup, the salty tears slipped into your lips.

Your phone vibrated as you parked your car in your garage, you unlocked it. Bruce's name popped on your screen, he texted you if you're alright and you should rest more.

He truly cares about you.

He visited you with his fiancée, showing their happy faces when you told him you couldn't come to his house for a while, you told him you were still sick then he decided that he would come over instead.

He was so close, he was within your arms reach.

But not his heart.

It felt like he wasn't there.

He was so close yet so far.
