Oh my god, anon, it's not mood whiplash so much as it is an embarrassment of riches! I love the humor and Clark's nerves at the beginning, and then the middle of this is one big long HNG, from Sometimes when Clark thinks about the hard curl of Bruce's fingers in his hair and the pressure of his glove against his throat it feels like he's on the edge of understanding something on down, gah. All the touching, touching touching and then THROAT TOUCHING, EXCUSE ME WHILE I SWOON PLS, and every single physical detail of the actual choke is just YES GOOD MORE *dies*

AND THEN. THEN. PUNCHED IN THE HEART WITH A FIST FULL OF FEELINGS. OH GOD CLARK IT'S OKAY D:
