( a moment like this feels dangerous, almost. it's one thing to be physically close to another β€” to indulge in desires that are carnal at the very root of it. but this... these touches, soft as they are, and the way he finds himself leaning into the warmth of the other man there with him beneath the water falling down around them... it might hurt to lose this. if he lets himself fall into it too much. fall into dick.

fall into this.

he noses at dick. slow and soft. lips barely there over his again before he tilts his head away from the other man. pad of a thumb slowly brushing over a scar dick wears across his skin. blue eyes watching the way he gently drags his thumb down. he's like him in this way. wearing scars so few get to see across skin... and the ones beneath, angry and deep across the soul, even fewer get to see. )


How late do you usually get up?

( because lord knows they're not always up at the crack of dawn when they're constantly working nights. )

I was just wondering.

( words soft under the shower spray, there's the gentle nosing between them that comes again, lashes dark and thick with eyes falling shut. he'll hate to leave this β€” this warmth from both the shower and the man with him, but. eventually, they'll need to get out. eventually, they'll fall asleep. eventually, he'll leave in the morning.

it's partly why he'd asked when dick was going to be getting up. thinking... maybe it might be better for him to leave before the other wakes. that it would be easier for the both of them, but. what does he know? it's not as if he's routinely found in such a situation that he has it down to a science with how to go about it. maybe he won't. maybe he will. he'll figure it out whenever he wakes.

letting himself pull back some, he swipes his tongue over his bottom lip β€” a flick of his head as a means to get the water out of his face. hair sticking wet to his forehead and temples. )


Food should be here soon.

( this moment was sure to end. bruce knows it. he knows dick knows it, too. regardless of how much time spent here β€” together β€” in the warmth they've found within both each other and the confines of the shower, it'll never be enough.

bruce opts for the robe when the suggestion is made and takes his time to dry himself off after dick leaves him to address the food situation. he stands there. alone. staring to the blurred reflection of himself in the fogged mirror he stands in front of. there's that part of him that wonders what he's doingβ€” it would make alfred throw a fit dick had said in regards to food, but bruce tacks it onto if he knew about this. about them. what had transpired above sheets that have now been changed.

tying the robe at his waist, he joins the other man there in the bedroom and stands for a moment. quiet. thinking. if one knows bruce, they know that expression he gets on his face when he's slipping into whatever thought is nagging at him. granted, he's not liable to talk about it, but. that's bruce wayne for you. )


Silverware?

( the word comes out soft as he pads his way to the bed. )

Getting fancy on me.

( ultimately, he comes to sit down on one side of the bed, leg pressed to the bed while the other dangles off the side. hair damp, he brushes a few strands out of his face as he lets himself take a look at what dick went and ordered for them. )

Sounds like you ordered more than enough.

( given their extensive workout, he knows an appetite has been built, but. still. he finds it... funny. if even to himself. )

Eggroll. ( a beat. ) And sweet and sour chicken.

( even as he makes his decision, he reaches for a paper plate. more than willing to dish himself out some of the dinner that's laid out before them on the bed. what would alfred think? indeed. )

Not really.

( the words are soft, bruce taking a moment to help himself to some of the food he has there on his plate. when he remembers to eat β€” when alfred makes sure he eats, he does. sometimes he just gets too busy to. or sometimes he's not in the mood to, strange as it sounds. still. he's eating now. on the bed. with dick. something he can't ever say he thought would ever happen. then again... this entire night is not anything he thought would ever happen.

and here they are.

he reaches for the water β€” helps himself to a slow gulp before he's looking over to dick for a moment. )


Still trying to figure that out.

( how to be bruce wayne again, rather than just the batman as he tends to easily slip into. much to alfred's dismay. )

( the thing is... bruce still isn't used to working with others. aside from alfred and gordon, though neither of them are typically out in the field with him. gordon, sure. but not always in the ways bruce recklessly does. so when dick goes and shows a sort of eagerness in being there by his side, bruce gently eyes him for a long moment before he goes back to eating. staring at the plate rather than dick or his hand on his leg.

after a moment, he huffs β€” faint stifle of what could be considered laughter there on his lips as he takes a sip of water. )


I don't make for a great roommate. Even temporarily.

( no matter what does or doesn't happen with us. that's something bruce will have to mull over. or, the more likely scenario, ignore and repress while busying himself with work and whatever else. because that's what bruce does when he doesn't want to really think about β€” or deal with β€” anything concerning his own wants and feelings outside of being batman.

the smile he wears is as faint as the laughter that left him and he pokes at his food a bit before he shoves some in his mouth. a means to give him a bit of pause. )


We'll see.

( he finally says and, after a moment, he looks over to the other man there on the bed β€” lets his gaze soften some as a telltale sign of slipping into thoughts that are currently overtaking him before he snaps himself out of them. )

Come here?

( closer to him, he means. )

( the closeness is not anything he's used to... and not anything he's sure he should get used to, but. that's bruce for you. denying himself even the smallest of things β€” the smallest of pleasures in life in favor of his mission. of being gotham's dark knight. of being the batman.

the drop of lips to the white fabric is a sweetness that burns him. that makes him feel guilty for having it. not necessarily because of who it comes from. but because there's some part of him that wants this and he knows it.

eyes fall shut. a slight turn of his head towards dick, and a quiet breath leaves him that could be taken for a huff of laughter. )


I was going to kiss you.

( he murmurs, soft. eyes still closed. )

But now I'm not sure.

( he wants to pull away. wants to thank him for the food and for... whatever all this was tonight and disappear into the night as he's known to do. that's what his mind keeps landing on for an outcome of this. for the best outcome of this, but. every time he thinks he starts toward it, he doesn't. it's not so much hesitation as it is lingering within this. reluctant, despite his own resolve, to pull away from... this.

gently, he noses at dick, hum soft there on his lips as he feels the other's touch running across him. )


As long as you don't make a mess on the bed.

( it'd be a shame after he'd just changed the sheets and all. )

( softly, those words tug a smile from him β€” one which presses against dick's lips. )

I meant more knocking all the food over.

( since dick had gone and ordered so much for the two of them, but. an appetite had certainly been worked up for it. still, no one wants to roll around in sweet and sour sauce and end up with a chicken ball in places it shouldn't be.

but that doesn't stop bruce from bringing a hand up then β€” from letting it curl around the nape of dick's neck and he kisses him. soft. slow. letting it slip away long enough for him to nose at the other again, head bowing as the pad of his thumb brushes down the slope of his neck. still holding to him. )


I wish you didn't do this to me. ( softly. ) Makes it harder to want to leave.

( i like you. three little words that send part of him into a panic. the more people he brings into the small circle he has for himself, the more people it means he has a chance of losing. it's different with dick, sure. he's capable of handling himself, on and off the streets of gotham, and understands the sort of life that they both have. the sacrifices that come with it and oh, how there are always so many sacrifices to make. but he's never truly managed to get over the deaths of his parents β€” never truly managed to conquer the sort of fear and pain that comes with losing those he cares so much for. even if he comes across as having conquered it. he knows, deep down, he's still vulnerable there, and he can't afford to have vulnerabilities.

or... batman can't, at least.

there's a moment of silence from bruce. a sort of twist in his expression as those blue eyes stare down between them. )


It's not that I couldn't... it's that maybe I shouldn't.

( for as detached as bruce can sometimes come off, he actually cares so very deeply to the point that he ends up self-sabotaging as a means to protect it. it's not healthy β€” so much of him and his life isn't healthy. but it's how he copes. even if it ends up doing more harm than good in the long run. dick's died once already. come back from it, but. that's not to say it'll happen again. that he'll come back if he dies again.

he pushes away the morbid thoughts that threaten to ruin whatever is left of this moment and, instead, presses his forehead to dick's mouth. taking a second. letting his eyes fall shut. when he lifts his head and looks to dick then, it's with a softness there in those blue eyes he doesn't often give to others, hand sliding down the slope of.the other man's neck as he does, dropping to rest on his shoulder. )


Maybe you should. ( push, he means. ) Just a little.

( with lips so close there to dick's, he catches them in a slow brush, kissing at his top lip before claiming them a little more properly with just the faintest hint of need behind it. )
