:D Oh, thank you, OP - honestly I just never get enough of your comments, they're always so kind and thoughtful! ♥ This was my big opportunity to dump a whole lot of "what Bruce is like around Martha post-death" headcanon on everything, and I definitely took advantage of it. /o\ So I'm glad you liked seeing Bruce a little more honest!

I hope Bruce appreciates it

Haha, well, at that moment I imagine he mostly wants to set himself on fire for being so transparently weird where Clark can see him. /o\ (And OF COURSE Clark's kind about it, damn him. :D)

:D Clark slowly figuring Bruce's Bruceness out is just my favorite thing in the world which I guess is why I keep writing tens of thousands of words about it, oops.

:DDDDDDDD I knew you'd appreciate more kissing! Even if I did ruin everything again right afterward.

But then she doesn't know that they don't usually kiss

... No comment. ;)

Of course Bruce doesn't think that Clark just wanted to kiss him

Well, this wouldn't be a real fake dating fic without the stupid painful misunderstanding part, right? :D Thank you again, OP, so very very much - I'm so glad you're enjoying reading this ridiculous beast of a story, because I'm having so much fun writing it that it seems almost unfair. /o\ ♥ ♥ ♥
