    Summary

    Bruce Wayne is alright. So alright in fact that he's out patrolling in the coldest nights of Gotham. Snow piles on his shoulders and despite the good insulation in his suit he feels cold.
    He is also alone, on said rooftop, and nothing makes his body ache like loneliness. So, he lets his mind drift off to a certain kryptonian that's warm and bright like the sun...
    Actually, scratch the thoughts, thinking about his unrequited love doesn't quite help him feel better.
    Except that maybe, when Clark shows up, Bruce learns that by coming out of his hiding spot in his mind he may be rewarded with more he had ever dreamt of.
