No worries, OP here still loving everything about this. :D And I totally get not wanting to make the fill too long out of fear that you wouldn't finish it otherwise - I am not complaining at all because this is absolutely wonderful and I love it as it is. Let me know if you repost it on AO3 or so, too. :D

I so love this whole idea of Clark feeling like Bruce is taking care of him. <3 And how they both just break their 'rules' and it makes everything so much better. It's so hot how much small things like a groan and some unnecessary touching drives them crazy.

Clark isn't sick this time. Clark will go. He won't be cruel about it: Clark is kind to animals, strangers, people he doesn't like, all the time. (It's irrational to think of Superman's constant, relentless generosity as a step down from the anger Clark's sometimes shown Bruce. And Bruce doesn't indulge in irrationality.) He'll go; and whether he decides to come back again, whether he'll open his door the next time Bruce knocks, can't matter. Bruce can't allow it to.
And wow, this whole thing just breaks my heart. Bruuuuuuuuuce, why are you the way you are? Awww, I just love them so much. I love this fic so much. Thank you for filling my prompt and filling it so beautifully, you have no idea how much I appreciate that. :D
