Summary
"Are you happy?" Bruce asked, heart pounding on a lazy Saturday afternoon in bed. He stared at the ceiling, resolutely not looking at Clark, bathed in sunlight that pooled through the window.
"What—Bruce, I…I love you. You're all I want, honey."
Bruce squeezed his eyes shut.
"Bruce? What's wrong?"
"You didn't say yes."
When they started dating, it felt only natural to keep it quiet. To keep the circle small—after all, as close as Batman and Superman were, Clark Kent and Bruce Wayne were strangers. For them to suddenly start dating, out of nowhere, it would raise questions neither were prepared to answer. But unlike the rest of their secrets...this was one they might want to share with the world.

Summary
Clark was in love. Deeply, pathetically, in love with someone whose name he didn't even know. But what was a name, really? What was a face, even, when he knew everything else there was to know about him?
When he had held Batman in his arms, felt his blood soak through his clothes to his skin, brought him back from the brink of death?
He was alive, and Clark couldn't stop thinking about him.
Clark loved him.
And he needed to move on. Find someone new, just to flirt with. Shake Batman loose from his mind.
Where better than a charity Gala he didn't want to work to find someone who might fit the bill?

Summary
He sighed to himself and downed the glass of champagne he'd been nursing—non-alcoholic, but enough to convince anyone who might give him a passing glance. He hated this, every time he had to do it. There was one surefire way to derail anyone who began wondering whether maybe Bruce Wayne was doing more than just donating funds to Batman.
His tie hung loose around his neck, shirt unbuttoned to halfway down his chest, laughing too easily, pressing close to everyone he spoke to, whispering in ears, playing the part, until he turned and froze on the spot.
Clark Kent, in his signature ill-fitting suit, stood holding a notebook and pen, staring at him with barely-concealed glee.
Bruce cringed internally. He hated this. He especially hated when it had to be witnessed by someone he actually respected.
or: After a Gala, Bruce and Clark end up in bed together. They're friends, just helping each other out, no strings attached. Which would be great, if Bruce hadn't been halfway to head-over-heels since the day they met.

Summary
Clark was not panicking. He wasn't! He was a grown adult who routinely dealt with high stress situations what would leave the average person unable to function. He didn't panic.
A little awkward first date on Valentine's day 🩷

Summary
He remembers Karaoke. He remembers drinking a lot, remembers everyone else leaving and Buck inviting those strangers to join them. He remembers suggesting they go to the hotel, and did he break down the door? He remembers drinking more, remembers hands on his chest, tearing his shirt, and he remembers feeling free, uninhibited, giddy.
And he remembers a tug in his chest, something big, feeling the cold porcelain on his back.
What could he have forgotten?or: Eddie wakes up after Chim's bachelor party with a pounding headache, and a memory like puzzle pieces that just don't fit. Putting it together may just be what it takes to send everything he thought was steady falling to pieces.

Summary
“Hello!” says Diana Prince, cheerfully. An— an imposter, no doubt. She's in Wonder Woman gear, lined in glistening gold, but everything from the angles of her face to the way she holds herself is uncannily identical to the woman Bruce knows. “Welcome to the Justice League! Are you excited to be here?”
[ Of course I am! ] [+]
[ I’m excited to be able to prove myself to you. ] [♥]
[ Not particularly. ] [x]Bruce opens his mouth. Nothing comes out; nothing can come out, except until he forces, “Not particularly,” and then adds, “Where the hell is Superman?” because even if this is some humongous Jason-stamped prank, his first instinct is still to find Clark.
Jason becomes a matchmaker, Bruce transmigrates into a Justice League Dating Simulator, Dick regrets everything and Clark has no idea what the sweet hell is going on.

Summary
He takes a long, slow breath. Ignores the glares from the other students. “Superboy,” he murmurs. “It’s me. If you’re listening, I could use some help.”
Or: 5 times Superboy saves Tim Drake, and one time Tim Drake saves Superboy.

Summary
When Batman tells Clark that he’s considering sharing his secret identity with him, the Kryptonian couldn’t be more pleased.
That, of course, has nothing to do with Clark being invited to Wayne Manor to interview Bruce Wayne and his family...right?

Summary
There’s a new dating app in town, but this one is just for superheroes. You don’t use your name or callsign and there’s no photos, only a short bio. The idea is to talk about personal lives AND hero-ing without specifics, keeping both their secret identity secret and their hero persona in place.
Dick signs Bruce up. Clark signs up willingly. They accidentally match up and even for the World's Greatest Detective, it takes a while to figure it out. In part because he isn't trying to figure it out, that's the whole point! But also because Boy Scout Superman is definitely straight and definitely not a dude who hangs out at a farm in his free time.
And Superman is confident that Batman probably lives in some random cave system like the gremlin he is, and doubts he even HAS a secret identity because he is so consumed by his Batman persona. Even if he did, he definitely wouldn't join a dating app. That would require wanting to interact with other people and also the capability to smile.- Language:
