Coffee & Cookies

This is based of of a tik tok from EntertainmentBread, and I will be writing the full tweet out rq as an explanation to the story.
"AU where Bruce is the owner and operator known as the go-to-spot for the finest coffee in the quaint college town. While majority of the patrons sing its praises, a select few who have unwittingly incurred Bruce's ire find themselves less enchanted.
Bruce's children often frequent the cafe for study sessions, occasionally accompanied by potential partners who are unknowingly subjected to Bruce's experimental concoctions known as "contingency coffees."
One day, Dick brings Clark to the cafe. Clark greets Bruce warmly, unfazed by the seething look he receives in return. After thanking the man for the cup of coffee slammed onto the counter in front of him, Clark joins Dick at their table.
While he was tutoring Dick, Clark can't help but occasionally peek at Bruce over his cup of coffee spiced with Carolina Reaper peppers. As they left the cafe, Clark thanked Bruce once again for the delicious coffee, much to his (Bruce's) chagrin.
Clark becomes a regular visitor, ordering the same special coffee each time. Though initially infuriated by Clark's presence, Bruce begrudgingly tolerates him upon realizing Clark's lack of romantic interest in his son.
Clark frequently lingers near the counter, making earnest attempts to engage the reserved owner in conversation. He treasures Bruce's brief, one-word responses as if they were pearls of wisdom. "What a strange man," Bruce thought as he served Clark his coffee alongside a spicy chocolate jalapeno cake.
Clark's order, dubbed the "Clark Combo," becomes a secret menu item for the most adventurous customers."
Except that I've changed some things. Clark works at the Daily Planet, in New York, and has just moved to the company. As celebration, his new coworkers take him to The Daily Grind, one of the bestplacestogetcoffeeinthecity. Brucehastwosons,butittakestimeforClarktotutorthem. Afterthat,it'sthesame.
