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 fiancĂŠâs arms while he raked his fingers through your hair and pressed languid kisses to your temple.
Unfortunately your fiancĂŠ 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 Bruceâs 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 youâre 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 hadnât 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.
âIs Bruce back?â You asked.
âYes Miss,â Alfred replied. âAlong with the League. Master Bruce got injured and he refuses to stay, heâs insisting on going back.â
âOh my god,â you sighed in defeat.
âIâm afraid we might need your assistance,â he added.
âOf course, heâs a big baby after all,â 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.
Bruceâs voice booming along the walls of the batcave, making it echo. He was mad about something thatâs why he was yelling, if he was just upset he would brood.
âBatman we cannot go after them tonight,â Clark said.
âWe canât let them get away, I put a tracker in the van we can follow them,â Bruce argued and took off his cowl.
âBruce youâre injured,â Diana gritted through her teeth. âWhere is your rationality?â
âThis is me being rational!â Bruce yelled, smashing his fist down on the table.
âOkay,â you announced your presence and everyone turned to look at you.
âThank you,â Barry mouthed from behind Diana who you watched visibly relax.
âWhat are you doing here? Did you have dinner?â Bruce asked, voice turning a lot softer but still clipped.
You raised your eye at him in response.
âHoney please,â 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.
âSit,â you ordered and approached him.
âIâm fi-â 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.
âYouâre 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?â You firmly said and put your hands over his shoulders, trying to catch his eyes.
âOkay,â he murmured and rested his head against your stomach with his arms now wrapping around your knees.
âI think we should leave,â Barry whispered to someone but you were too busy peeling off Bruceâs cape to look at him.
âUh yeah,â Bruce raised his head and looked at his team members âhis uninjured arm still wrapped around your waist with the side of his head still stuck to your body. âLetâs continue the mission tomorrow. We can monitor them for today.â
âGood,â Diana nodded her head. âWe shall meet tomorrow then,â she finished and turned around to leave the batcave.
âSee ya, Bats,â Barry said with a salute and before you could blink, he was gone.
âTake care, Bruce,â Clark said at last with a small smile on his face like he knew a secret no one else did.
âYeah thanks,â Bruce grunted in acknowledgment and turned towards you again, fully grabbing you now so he could push his face into your torso.
âBye, Clark,â you smiled towards Clark who gave you a smile and a nod in return before he flew out of the cave.
You fully peeled Bruceâs 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 fiancĂŠ he was, he didnât 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.
âYou know I can handle myself,â Bruce murmured.
âNo Bruce, taking a shower doesnât make stab wounds disappear,â you chided.
âWhat if you join me? That certainly would help,â he teased.
âSorry I already took one. Iâm all out of showers for the night,â you replied.
âWhat about kisses? Are you out of those too?â
Bruce narrowed his eyes at that and pulled you towards him until you were perched sideways on his lap.
âBruce youâre bleeding!â You protested.
âKiss it better,â he said.
âYou were just yelling at people and now you want me to kiss you?â You quipped with a roll of your eyes.
âPeople who arenât my wife,â Bruce corrected.
âTechnically Iâm not your wife either.â
âSweetheart please,â he sighed, resting his forehead against yours. âIâve had a really long day can you please kiss me.â
âSince you asked oh so nicely,â you grinned before finally connecting your lips with your fiancĂŠâs.
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.
âOkay, youâre still injured,â you said and hopped off his lap, taking your earlier place in between his thighs.
Bruce sighed in response but didnât say anything as you cleaned up his wound and wrapped a gauze over it. He didnât 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 gymâs 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.
âIâm so tired,â you groaned and plopped down on the chaise lounge in the bedroom.
âLetâs go to bed then angel,â Bruce urged and cleared the bed of the fort of a million pillows you kept on it every day.
âCome here,â 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 fiancĂŠâs face.
âWe havenât had dinner,â you murmured, offering him the chocolate ice cream.
âIce cream is dinner?â He asked with narrow eyes but put his mouth over the spoon anyway.
âDo you want to face Alfred right now?â
âYouâre right,â he murmured and pressed a kiss to your temple before resting his arm around your shoulder.
You spent the next ten minutes feeding your fiancĂŠ 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 Bruceâs 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.
âHey,â he whispered, hands immediately coming to your bare thighs.
âYouâve got something,â you smiled and leaned forward to lick the ice cream from the corner of his mouth.
âSo do you,â 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.
âCome on, Iâm tired,â you yawned, getting off his lap.
Bruce shook his head but couldnât 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 âleaving 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.
Bruceâs arms came around your torso next. He held you in a tight grasp âtoo 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.
âGood night sweetheart,â Bruce mumbled sleepily and pressed a kiss to your head.
âGood night,â you whispered back.
