The identity porn extravaganza is what we're all here for. :D I really can't wait for Clark to meet Batman again, btw, that's gonna be gooood. And they're gonna bang soon? Yessssssssssssssssss.
I love all of that stuff at the beginning about Clark actually enjoying Bruce's flirting, and then this: But Bruce could have kissed him. Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh. <333
And then Clark can't stop thinking about it, oh my god! In great detail. This is the best thing. And I love them at the party, I love how rich this is, how many details there are.
(In retrospect, as much as he loves the farmhouse, it's possible Smallville wasn't a great place to try to fight with feeling isolated and set aside and alone.) This made me cackle so much. But yeah, it's one of those things you probably wouldn't realise until after you've left.
Who hasn't gone far. He hasn't really wandered away from Clark at all, even though he never looks like he's paying much attention to where Clark is. Such a perfect Bruce moment. <3 And oh no, does Clark not recognise Diana? But he's seen her, no? But I do love his conversation with her, Diana is just so wonderful and I always love seeing her. <3
Clark turns and smiles at him, and god, he must look like an idiot, but he just can't help it: he feels so—so alive, so whole and glad and not alone, and every part of that is pretty much down to Bruce. Bruce, who's rude and bitter and ungenerous—except for all the time and money and effort he's spending on putting Clark's life back in order. Bruce, who's ostentatious and wears the wrong cologne and—and touched Clark's throat not three hours ago. I love this whole paragraph, how viscerally alive Clark feels, how much he downright enjoys those contradictions of Bruce's personality. And that bit about the "wrong cologne", like he already knows what belongs on Bruce and what doesn't.
"What?" Clark says, and blinks innocently. "Don't I meet your standards for arm candy?" Oh, Clark, you cutie. :DD And Clark's hand on his arm, I am in love. And haha, Clark has no idea why Bruce is concerned about the time, does he now. ;D
And he lets himself not feel bad about it. He doesn't know how all this is going to shake out, with Lois and his job and Superman, with everything; but somehow Bruce Wayne has turned out to be the one person who's staying in step with him when everything else is running away. And Clark likes him, and wants him, and that's okay. I really love this, that sentence about Clark letting himself not feel bad about it, Clark pushing down on all his brooding and worries and just allowing himself to feel alive and happy and good about the person who's helping him so much. How all that brooding and thinking leads him to the point where he realises that he can have this, he's allowed to. So that kiss feels absolutely beautifully organic. I think with a lot of Bruce/Clark fic their eventual kissing or fucking feels like the accumulation of a lot of high tension, and I love that, but in the scenario you chose for this fic, this much slower, gentler build-up works so perfectly. It just feels right at this point. I can't waaaaaaaaaaaaait for them to bang. And to angst. And for Clark to meet Batman. And angst more. And Bruce angsts. And everyone bangs? Either way I know it will be awesome. :D
