    Bookmarker's Notes

    Clark: “If I’m so good, why do you try to kill me?”

    Lex’s mouth twists up in a sad, deprecating smile. “I never succeed, Clark. That’s by design. Call it . . . stress relief. Not exactly the kind I want, but I take what I can get.”

    Bruce: “Don’t start, Clark. Your older self agreed to it. It saves valuable time if you need my help.”

    “And also makes it really easy to spy on me.”

    “I spy on everyone,” says Bruce dismissively. “You’re not special.

    Summary

    He raised a hand. Placed it gently on Clark’s shoulder, right near the base of his neck. Warm skin under his glove. Just a brief touch. A steady one.

    And Clark—Clark melted.

    His breath caught, barely audible, and then he let it out slowly. Like something inside him had come unclenched. His shoulders dropped beneath Bruce’s hand, posture softening almost imperceptibly. He didn’t move away. Didn’t flinch.

    Bruce went still.

    Or, Bruce notices Clark might need more than just kindness—and decides to give it to him.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    "Because orgasms are nice?" Bruce guessed, lifting an eyebrow.

    "They're great, but they're not the be all end all of sex either," Clark replied. "Making your partner feel good – knowing what makes your partner feel good – that's the important thing. Laughter and intimacy and sharing joy with each other...that's what's important."
