bruce wayne x reader, fluff, i had young bruce in mind while writing but its not mentioned, based on a req on my old account :)
It had been a long day and you were ready to call it a night, curled up in your fiancé’s arms while he raked his fingers through your hair and pressed languid kisses to your temple.
Unfortunately your fiancé just happened to be Bruce Wayne. Who was literally Batman.
So the idea of curling up in his arms after work seemed nearly impossible. He had left especially early today due to a mission with the Justice League and you were left at Wayne Enterprises to finish up the rest of the work before you could come home.
It was now around ten when you pulled yourself out of the shower. You grabbed one of Bruce’s old university sweatshirts and pulled it over your tired body before picking up your phone from the bed so you could text Bruce that you were home.
Hey just got home. Getting ready for bed now, hope you’re being safe!
His response was immediate.
Even while texting he was so broody. You rolled your eyes and grabbed a pair of shorts before trudging downstairs to have dinner because you knew Bruce would find out from Alfred that you hadn’t had dinner and you would never hear the end of it.
You fixed yourself a plate and sat down in the little breakfast nook at the corner of kitchen. Alfred soon came inside and gave you a quick nod before he grabbed fresh towels from the linen closet. Your intent gaze stayed on him as you watched him make his way towards the secret door that led to the batcave.
Before he could leave, you called out his name.
“Is Bruce back?” You asked.
“Yes Miss,” Alfred replied. “Along with the League. Master Bruce got injured and he refuses to stay, he’s insisting on going back.”
“Oh my god,” you sighed in defeat.
“I’m afraid we might need your assistance,” he added.
“Of course, he’s a big baby after all,” you gave him a small smile and got up from your seat, following him to the batcave.
The second you entered through the door, you heard it.
Bruce’s voice booming along the walls of the batcave, making it echo. He was mad about something that’s why he was yelling, if he was just upset he would brood.
“Batman we cannot go after them tonight,” Clark said.
“We can’t let them get away, I put a tracker in the van we can follow them,” Bruce argued and took off his cowl.
“Bruce you’re injured,” Diana gritted through her teeth. “Where is your rationality?”
“This is me being rational!” Bruce yelled, smashing his fist down on the table.
“Okay,” you announced your presence and everyone turned to look at you.
“Thank you,” Barry mouthed from behind Diana who you watched visibly relax.
“What are you doing here? Did you have dinner?” Bruce asked, voice turning a lot softer but still clipped.
You raised your eye at him in response.
“Honey please,” he tried again in a much softer voice.
Your eyes landed over the gash on his shoulder that was tearing through his suit telling you just how deep it was because his suit could withstand a lot of things and weapons. He was clutching his hand on his bicep which indicated just how much pain he was in because Bruce Wayne would never let anyone know how painful an injury was.
His scars were left for you to trace and worry about when he finally slipped into your bed at night. Yours to kiss and clean up as he sat back and watched your annoyed expression with amused eyes.
“Sit,” you ordered and approached him.
“I’m fi-” he began but you were quicker as you grabbed his wrist and dragged him towards the bat computer.
You whirled the chair around and pushed him on it before taking a towel from Alfred. Behind you, you could hear Barry let out a low whistle.
“You’re not leaving again tonight, whatever happened you can deal with it tomorrow. Like you said, you put a tracker in the van, it will still be there tomorrow. Okay?” You firmly said and put your hands over his shoulders, trying to catch his eyes.
“Okay,” he murmured and rested his head against your stomach with his arms now wrapping around your knees.
“I think we should leave,” Barry whispered to someone but you were too busy peeling off Bruce’s cape to look at him.
“Uh yeah,” Bruce raised his head and looked at his team members –his uninjured arm still wrapped around your waist with the side of his head still stuck to your body. “Let’s continue the mission tomorrow. We can monitor them for today.”
“Good,” Diana nodded her head. “We shall meet tomorrow then,” she finished and turned around to leave the batcave.
“See ya, Bats,” Barry said with a salute and before you could blink, he was gone.
“Take care, Bruce,” Clark said at last with a small smile on his face like he knew a secret no one else did.
“Yeah thanks,” Bruce grunted in acknowledgment and turned towards you again, fully grabbing you now so he could push his face into your torso.
“Bye, Clark,” you smiled towards Clark who gave you a smile and a nod in return before he flew out of the cave.
You fully peeled Bruce’s cape back and took off the top half of his suit so you could look at the wound on his shoulder. It was an angry red, still leaking blood down to his elbow.
A hiss left your mouth at the sight and you quickly dragged Bruce again towards the infirmary. And like the obedient fiancé he was, he didn’t say a word.
You pushed him on one of the medical beds and grabbed some antiseptic liquid along with a few cotton balls to dab on the wound.
“You know I can handle myself,” Bruce murmured.
“No Bruce, taking a shower doesn’t make stab wounds disappear,” you chided.
“What if you join me? That certainly would help,” he teased.
“Sorry I already took one. I’m all out of showers for the night,” you replied.
“What about kisses? Are you out of those too?”
Bruce narrowed his eyes at that and pulled you towards him until you were perched sideways on his lap.
“Bruce you’re bleeding!” You protested.
“Kiss it better,” he said.
“You were just yelling at people and now you want me to kiss you?” You quipped with a roll of your eyes.
“People who aren’t my wife,” Bruce corrected.
“Technically I’m not your wife either.”
“Sweetheart please,” he sighed, resting his forehead against yours. “I’ve had a really long day can you please kiss me.”
“Since you asked oh so nicely,” you grinned before finally connecting your lips with your fiancé’s.
Bruce hummed lowly against your lips, causing you to smile. His forehead was against yours as his nose kept bumping with yours each time he opened his mouth to kiss you harder.
Before his hands could reach up your waist to your chest, you pulled away.
“Okay, you’re still injured,” you said and hopped off his lap, taking your earlier place in between his thighs.
Bruce sighed in response but didn’t say anything as you cleaned up his wound and wrapped a gauze over it. He didn’t even wince or flinch as you stitched up his wound with years of precision and you wondered just how used to this life had he gotten.
When you were done, Bruce took off his suit fully and grabbed his normal clothes from the locker before he went to take a quick shower in the gym’s bathroom. You secured his gauze with a waterproof wrap so he could be careful while under the water.
He came back a few minutes later, dressed in a black t-shirt and a pair of matching sweatpants. This time, Bruce was the one to grab your wrist and drag you out of the batcave. Normally after a patrol or a mission, he would spend hours down here reviewing everything but today you guessed he was just tired.
You two made a quick stop in the kitchen as per your request and you grabbed a tub of ice cream from the fridge along with a spoon before Bruce practically carried you towards your bedroom.
“I’m so tired,” you groaned and plopped down on the chaise lounge in the bedroom.
“Let’s go to bed then angel,” Bruce urged and cleared the bed of the fort of a million pillows you kept on it every day.
“Come here,” you beckoned him on the lounge with your finger.
He approached you with an exaggerated sigh and plopped down next to you, immediately putting your legs on his lap.
You opened the tub of ice cream and grabbed a spoonful of it, waving it in front of your fiancé’s face.
“We haven’t had dinner,” you murmured, offering him the chocolate ice cream.
“Ice cream is dinner?” He asked with narrow eyes but put his mouth over the spoon anyway.
“Do you want to face Alfred right now?”
“You’re right,” he murmured and pressed a kiss to your temple before resting his arm around your shoulder.
You spent the next ten minutes feeding your fiancé and yourself the entire tub of ice cream before he finally had enough and slumped against you. A giggle left your lips as you watched Bruce’s face resting on your shoulder with a little bit of ice cream at the corner of his mouth.
With a small push to his good shoulder, you finally got him up enough to straddle his lap which immediately woke him up.
“Hey,” he whispered, hands immediately coming to your bare thighs.
“You’ve got something,” you smiled and leaned forward to lick the ice cream from the corner of his mouth.
“So do you,” he drawled and captured your mouth in a searing kiss.
You wrapped your arms around his neck and deepened the kiss. He tasted like mint and chocolate as you bit his bottom lip then ran your tongue over it to smooth it over.
Before it could get even more heated, you pulled away.
“Come on, I’m tired,” you yawned, getting off his lap.
Bruce shook his head but couldn’t help the smile that overtook his face as he stood up. You two made your way towards the en suite bathroom to quickly brush your teeth before Bruce finally pulled you in bed.
He turned off the lights –leaving only the little night light on for you. The silk duvet was draped over your body when you felt his chest flush against your back, radiating much needed heat.
Bruce’s arms came around your torso next. He held you in a tight grasp –too afraid to lose you even in his sleep. You intertwined your fingers with his over your stomach and closed your eyes, finally letting the stress of the day put you to sleep.
“Good night sweetheart,” Bruce mumbled sleepily and pressed a kiss to your head.
“Good night,” you whispered back.
