   Summary

   Bruce gave a slight smile, his voice low and curiosity piqued. “You have permission to speak.” Clark shifted uncomfortably, his gaze dropping to the ground. “As someone who’s dedicated his life to your safety and happiness,” he began, his voice quiet but steady, “it matters deeply to me that you choose a partner truly worthy of you — someone who honors your love and your loyalty.” He drew in a slow breath, then lifted his eyes to meet Bruce’s. “And I’m afraid, my prince… the man you’re considering is not that person.”

   Or Clark is in love with Bruce, the prince he protects and Bruce is oblivious.
