Chapter Text
Bruce was awoken at the sound of his house’s doorbell being rung. The billionaire’s head hurt and it was a battle to keep his eyes open. What time is it? Bruce looked over at the clock on his side drawer. It’s three in the morning.
Bruce’s silver eyes burned at the light coming from the now open door. “Ah, sir, your friend-” Alfred was cut off by Oswald pushing him out of the way and entering the room without saying a word. Bruce sat up in the bed, the covers falling into his lap. “Oz, do you have any idea what time it is? It’s like three…..” The billionaire's voice trailed off as his friend jumped onto his bed and started to take his clothes off.
Alfred took this as his sign to leave, “I’ll just leave you two alone.” The old man closed the door when he left. As soon as the door closed, Oswald’s cold thin arms were wrapped around Bruce’s neck. Bruce noticed that his friend smelled of alcohol. The room went silent except for the sound of Oz’s heavy breathing. Bruce sighed and wrapped his arms around the other man.
“Do you want to talk about it?” Bruce tried to speak in a gentle tone. Oswald’s grip tighten and Bruce felt him shake his head ‘No.’ The hand on Oswald’s upper back rubbed up and down. “Well, not that I don’t love you waking me up at three a.m, surely, Oz, you didn’t burge in my house at this time of night just for a hug.” Bruce lightly smiled…… Only empty air responded.
Suddenly and roughly, Oz forced Bruce to lay down. The thinner man was straddling the other. Bruce had a look of shock on his face. Oswald stared Bruce in the eyes. Oswald’s green eyes were red and filled with emotion. Bruce just notice the bruise forming on the other’s cheek and his shaking hands. “Oswald?” The billionaire's voice was barely above a whisper. Oswald let out a pained sigh before getting close to Bruce’s ear.
“I’m so fucking tired, Bruce.” Oswald’s voice sounded like the voice of a man on the edge. Bruce’s friend collapsed on top of him and he could hear self-muffled sobs. Bruce sighed and embraced his friend. “I’m tired too, Oz.”
