Eeeeeh, they kissed! I am always so here for Bruce deliberately not being cruel. Especially this part here is amazing:
"Bruce knows he should laugh at him, tell him cruelly to pull himself together and go get himself a girlfriend if he’s really that lonely. That of all the other things Clark demands of him, he wants this too – and that’s really all it would take, even implying that this is an imposition, and Clark would fold himself back up again, stand, and never mention it ever again."

And of course even kissing feels different for Clark now. Can't wait for more. :DDD
