    Summary

    Tim has always known how to be quiet. Ever since he was young he's known how to evade creaky floorboards and squeaky door hinges. He uses these skills to follow Batman and Robin as they fly all over Gotham.

    Tim knows how to be quiet, but he hates silence. He's always hated the suffocating silence of his house and the mocking looks that the empty walls give him. Walls that would otherwise have family photos if his parents were ever around so they could be a family.

    Or: Tim Drake hates the quiet and manages to wriggle his way into the batfam.

    Summary

    Bruce doesn’t think of himself as a horrible person. He knows he’s not perfect, but he tries at least. And he likes to believe that has to count for something. He loves his kids, his partner, and the man who raised him more than he knows how to say. That’s the problem, really. He just doesn’t know how to express it in a way they understand.

    Summary

    “Clark,” at last he speaks, and Bruce’s expression is— his artificial smile is nowhere to be seen, his face a mask so blank it’s eerie, as though he’s been carved from stone. “Clark. You’re drunk. You don’t know what you’re saying.”

    “No,” echoes Clark stubbornly. “I mean it. I’m in love with you.”

    “You’re in love with me,” says Bruce, flatly. “After years of knowing each other, just like that. You’re suddenly in love with me.”

    it's clark's birthday; he gets drunk. and really, who cares that there are other people in the room, or that he was worried about confessing in the first place for a reason? someone should tell bruce how much he's loved.

    Summary

    “I'm not the same person I was back in high school,” Clark says, “and I doubt they all are, either. What would be the point?”

    “Oh, Clark,” Bruce is suddenly holding Clark's face with both of his hands, “the point is that I'm going to land us in a helicopter somewhere for all your classmates to see.”

    Clark sighs and closes his eyes.

    “Say 'yes', Clark,” Bruce orders.

    Clark doesn't open his eyes, just says, “Yes, Clark.”
