   Summary

   "Is Jason alive?" Bruce whispered once, in a voice he rarely used anymore. "Clark? Is he really here? With us?"

   "Yeah." Clark kissed him on the forehead with such tenderness that Bruce wanted to die. "He's fine. His heart is beating strong. I can hear him, B. He's still out on patrol. Tim is eating a cheeseburger with Kon a couple blocks from the old theater on 6th Street. Dick... Dick's laughing at something Damian's telling him. They're all safe."

   That was the moment. That was the moment Bruce understood why no one would ever understand him as much as Clark did. He also realized no one could ever hold his brokenness and love him as Clark does, in silence and in the dark.

    

   (Or, Bruce is having a hard time accepting Dick and Jason's relationship, but not for the reasons one might expect.)
