Though this way he gets to be closer to Clark, after all...
Right! I hadn't even thought about that.
I hadn't been sure how to make that little connection again, but then it was like Bruce reminded me of that and it made perfect sense...
Yes, it did make perfect sense. What got me was the shyness of the gesture. I really got the feeling that Bruce was very careful here in case he'd be rejected. The whole mood of the scene - Clark not being able to sleep with a heavy heart, the dark, the lack of privacy...and then Bruce makes a move, wonderful!
And you know Bruce showed up with all sorts of ideas about how the angle should go and advice on his gimmick, and that's not a good idea right off the bat either...
I wonder how often he has been called a know-it-all (I'm not sure if that's the right word) behind his back... I think his understanding of psychology fails a bit when he is obsessed with making everything perfect. Especially in his younger years.
I confess the next chapter has slowed down while I contemplate the best way for that to happen, lol. But it should be done soon!
Don't worry - I prefer quality over speed. With you I can be absolutely sure that you will write it and not abandon the fic. (I may have been burned a few times by really excellent fics who have not been continued for years, sigh) :-)
