You've reached Clark Kent. I'm not here right now, unfortunately. Please leave a message after the tone and I'll get back to you as soon as possible. Thanks!

[ Clark moves over. And waits, with a little half-smile on. ]

Re: Action

[ Bruce has finally hit a place where he no longer expects Clark to be... accepting and tolerating things - mostly.

Still a lot but he moves into the space vacated and honestly presses into Clark's side, wraps an arm around his waist, and one of his legs around Clark's in something just shy of a wrestling pin down. ]

Better. Now touch me back. Are you okay?

Re: Action

[girod]

[ Oh yes, he's very wrestled. He plants a kiss into Bruce's hair and slings his arm around in turn, touch gentle. There's no tension in him, nothing withheld. ]

I'm fine, Bruce. Genuinely.

How are you doing?

Re: Action

[ Bruce should get some kind of bonus points for the fact that he believes Clark is okay, and isn't wallowing in guilt about his... fucked up psychology and needs. ]

Better than I was.

[ Back to a more... whole version of himself, less compartmentalized and fragmented. Though he doesn't take the kiss to his hair in good grace but sort of grumble-growl-grumps so he can tilt his head up and kiss Clark very firmly on the mouth. It's a little bit pointed. ]

Tim might have some kind of point.

Re: Action

[girod]

About what? Tim has a lot of ideas.

[ And he doesn't have to ascribe to a good number of them, especially here. But he'll listen. He'll also kiss Bruce back on the lips once. ]

He's convinced I need to be sparring or, better yet fighting, for the 'outlet'.

Wrong direction and motive, but right... general observation.

[ He sighs and stays relaxed, lets his eyes close and just settles. ]

He's trying to find ways to be helpful. And he's always been an observant kid.
