Summary
Bruce woke up on the roof alone, beams of light piercing through his eyelids. A heat settled over him, the intensity of the light breaking through the cold air of the city skyline. A blanket that he didn’t remember having before is draped over his shoulders. It smells like laundry detergent and Clark Kent. There is a tinge of a floral smell, beyond the chemical detergent, and it doesn’t take the world’s best detective to know it is probably Lois’ perfume.
Bruce tears the blanket off of him, and throws it across the roof. A sticky note sits on his forehead. When he peels it off, the residue clings to his skin where it had sat for who knows how long.
Had to go to work - call me.
Love,
Clark--
Or: Bruce and Clark date in the early hero days without knowing each other's identities. Time passes, their lives get complicated, and they break up. It is not long until they meet again as Batman and Superman, but Bruce can't shake the familiar pit in his stomach when he looks into Superman's eyes.
