    Summary

    Bruce can't refuse anything Clark asks of him: that smile, those bright eyes, and those charming dimples are too powerful weapons.

    So he ends up agreeing to spend a week in Smallville to meet Clark's parents, for a week… and it will probably turn out to be the calmest –and surprisingly warm but peculiar– week of his life.

    Summary

    He tries to cough and can't and he's choking and panicking and a voice is speaking, something is on his shoulder, and he tries to twist away and grab at his mouth, but hands stop him, hands hold him down to torture him and suffocate him and this must be some new game Luthor devised and he can't breathe and everything hurts and he can't —

    "—please, Clark, please calm down, it's okay, you're okay, I've got you, I promise, you're okay, please calm down —"

    Or

    Clark is Not Okay, and Bruce isn't either.

    Summary

    The cycle repeats. It's been like this for too long. Not just weeks, but months. Too many months. Clark can't properly remember a time before this emptiness. If he thinks about it long enough, he knows this happened before — but never for so long. Never so severe. Just, sometimes. When he was a teenager. Sometimes he felt empty and alone. He'd like to say it started when he found out he was an alien, but, honestly, it's always been there. Maybe it is because he's an alien. He doesn't know. There's no one he can ask.

    Or

    When Clark is feeling apathetic and empty, he turns to Bruce again and again. Bruce is patient as he pulls Clark back into the sunlight.
