Bruce Wayne

Oh! Very nice! Could I know what you colored? You don’t have to share if you don’t want to, I’m just a little curious.

I colored a picture for Alfred. It was some dinosaurs from the Jurassic period.

Oh man dinosaurs are amazing! I love that how through evolution we can trace them to modern birds and chickens. That’s super sweet thst you drew something for Alfred. Do you have a favorite dinosaur??

Yes I do! I really like the Micropachycephalosaurus. It’s super tiny with being only a few inches tall and wide and has one of if not the longest name of the dinosaurs. I didn’t draw that one though, I drew a Stegosaurus for Alfred because he said he likes those.

Oh! Very nice! Could I know what you colored? You don’t have to share if you don’t want to, I’m just a little curious.

I colored a picture for Alfred. It was some dinosaurs from the Jurassic period.

Bruce scoots back, slightly frightened of the new person. He’s not very good with meeting new people yet. “Wh-What?”

“Hello.” he says quietly, standing a little straighter. this person seems nice but why do they have animal features? “What’s your name?”

he wants to ask about their features but Alfred says asking about peoples appearances is rude so he doesn’t. “Its nice to meet you. I’m Bruce.” he introduces himself in a small voice, its timid and shy and nothing like what he would grow to be.

he steps a little closer and looks at Bunni’s features, fascinated by their look. “You look really cool.” he didn’t think that was insulting so he said it.

All previous restraint going out the window the moment Bunni hears Bruce’s yelp, right in front of him in an instant and cocooning him in their wings. Their hands hover, unsure if they’re allowed to touch as they give a stream of cornered chirps and coos.

Bruce reached and grabs Bunni’s shirt, quickly hiding in his chest and tears well up in his eyes, his breathing starting to become jagged

They don’t hesitate to hug him close, tucking his head under their chin and softly rubbing at his back. It’s quiet for a moment before Bunni starts to hum the tune their Ma hums for them.

Bruce freezes for a moment before starting to cry suddenly, the humming seeming to almost make it worse. He pulls back and looks up at Bunni while crying “You know mama’s song?” he says weakly

He leans into Bunni’s touch, trying to calm down thought it’s not really working “Your ma knows my mama?”

“Oh. Okay..” he leans back into Bunni, hugging her and holding onto their shirt tightly

Bruce makes a confused noise. He doesn’t have any siblings so that doesn’t make sense unless he was Bunni’s ma but that also doesn’t make sense “Huh?”

“Oh.. uhm okay.” it doesn’t make the best sense but it explains how Bunni knows his mama’s song. He wraps his small arms around Bunni and clings to him “I want to go home.”

“I want my mama. And my dad.” he starts to cry again “I don’t like the dark. Or this stupid city.” he starts to just rant about things he doesn’t like and things he wishes were different as he clinged to Bunni. After a few minutes of talking he says something he didn’t really know had any weight to it “I don’t know how I’m going to live by myself forever… I don’t want to live alone. I want a big family. I want lots of family and by the time I’m super old I want to be able to talk to people. I’ll be sad if I’m alone forever.” he whimpers

“Do you promise?”

“I promise.”

“Okay.” he hides his face in the crook of Bunni’s neck “Can you take me home?”

“mhm. my manor.” he wraps around Bunni as he’s picked up

“Can you stay with me when we get there?”

“Of course I can, Bub.”

“Thank you..” he rests his head on Bunni’s shoulder as they walk

“Mhm. My room please.” as they walk in, it’s clear that this is a very different Manor though to Bruce this is entirely normal. There’s no big family portraits or random art on the walls, there not any random furniture about and the manor almost looks unlived in. There’s not life in it. Not like the manor Bunni knows. Everything had a place that it belongs and bruce makes sure it stays there because nothing can change from before that night. Everything has to stay the way it was otherwise it’ll be ruined. Everything he had with his parents will be ruined. At least that’s what he thinks “It’s upstairs.”

He lifts his head as they go up the stairs but looks confused as they start heading for the master bedroom. “Bunni, I don’t wanna go to mama and dad’s room. I wanna go to my room, please.” he says softly and tiredly

He points down the hallway to what would be Damian’s and then Bunni’s future room “Thatd my room”

As they go in, there’s a full size bed in the corner and a desk across from it. Posters on the walls and toys in various places. “This is my room.”

“Thank you.” he yawns

Bunni moves to the bed, pulling back perfectly tucked in covers to lay Bruce under them.

Bruce gets comfortable in his bed and looks up at Bunni “Are you leaving?”

“No.” he leans into Bunni’s touch

“thank you” he whispers “I hate being alone when I go to bed, Alfred normally sits with me.”

“Yeah.” he snuggles further into Bunni, shaking slightly

Bunni hesitates before starting to hum softly once more, a tune different to the one from before. They hum a soft tune they no longer clearly recall the words to, one they remember from their Mama.

Bruce calms down ever so slightly at the humming, he likes this song. his body relaxes but right before he falls asleep his eyes shoot open like he’s forcing them too. “I don’t want to fall asleep.” he says in an small and scared voice

“Cause then I’ll have bad dreams” a problem he has every night. The nightmares are constant, and (as bunni knows) are apparent in his adult life as well.

“Sleep scares.” Bunni gives an understanding nod at this, a worried frown tugging at their lips.

“Yeah. I don’t like it. I always see him.” he shivers as he speaks and he speaks way too quiet for normal ears to hear.

“The mean man.” bruce answers, holding Bunni tighter.

“You do?” he looks up at Bunni with glossed over eyes “Did- …Did they hurt your mama and daddy too?” he asks with a broken voice

“Oh.. I’m sorry that they did that to your mama.” Bruce hugs Bunni with a sense of comforting him instead of taking the comfort like a moment before.

“Okay, I’ll try.” he answers but he doesn’t move. he stays right where he is in Bunni’s arms, feeling very comfortable.

They let him stay there, pulling him closer if anything else. They know how much they wanted any form of comfort at his age, and they’re happy to give as much as he needs.

He’s finally starts to fall asleep against Bunni, his body fully relaxing. He sleeps in Bunni’s arms for a little bit before the nightmare starts, back in the alley again. He relives it every night. He’s reliving it right now. He starts to squirm in his sleep and whine.

Bunni frowns softly before shuffling to lay down properly, pulling Bruce onto their chest like their Ma does to them, softly rubbing his back and humming. It’s not much but it feels like it’s all it can do.

After a few minutes of what seems to be a very unpleasant nightmare he wakes up with tears in his eyes. He takes a moment to realize his surroundings and then starts to cry into Bunni’s chest.

he holds on to Bunni tightly as he cries harder. “I- I hate it!” he heaves

Bruce scoots back, slightly frightened of the new person. He’s not very good with meeting new people yet. “Wh-What?”

“Hello.” he says quietly, standing a little straighter. this person seems nice but why do they have animal features? “What’s your name?”

They don’t hesitate to hug him close, tucking his head under their chin and softly rubbing at his back. It’s quiet for a moment before Bunni starts to hum the tune their Ma hums for them.

Bruce freezes for a moment before starting to cry suddenly, the humming seeming to almost make it worse. He pulls back and looks up at Bunni while crying “You know mama’s song?” he says weakly

He leans into Bunni’s touch, trying to calm down thought it’s not really working “Your ma knows my mama?”

“Oh. Okay..” he leans back into Bunni, hugging her and holding onto their shirt tightly

Bruce makes a confused noise. He doesn’t have any siblings so that doesn’t make sense unless he was Bunni’s ma but that also doesn’t make sense “Huh?”

“Oh.. uhm okay.” it doesn’t make the best sense but it explains how Bunni knows his mama’s song. He wraps his small arms around Bunni and clings to him “I want to go home.”

“I want my mama. And my dad.” he starts to cry again “I don’t like the dark. Or this stupid city.” he starts to just rant about things he doesn’t like and things he wishes were different as he clinged to Bunni. After a few minutes of talking he says something he didn’t really know had any weight to it “I don’t know how I’m going to live by myself forever… I don’t want to live alone. I want a big family. I want lots of family and by the time I’m super old I want to be able to talk to people. I’ll be sad if I’m alone forever.” he whimpers

“Do you promise?”

“I promise.”

“Okay.” he hides his face in the crook of Bunni’s neck “Can you take me home?”

“mhm. my manor.” he wraps around Bunni as he’s picked up

“Can you stay with me when we get there?”

“Of course I can, Bub.”

“Thank you..” he rests his head on Bunni’s shoulder as they walk

“Mhm. My room please.” as they walk in, it’s clear that this is a very different Manor though to Bruce this is entirely normal. There’s no big family portraits or random art on the walls, there not any random furniture about and the manor almost looks unlived in. There’s not life in it. Not like the manor Bunni knows. Everything had a place that it belongs and bruce makes sure it stays there because nothing can change from before that night. Everything has to stay the way it was otherwise it’ll be ruined. Everything he had with his parents will be ruined. At least that’s what he thinks “It’s upstairs.”

He lifts his head as they go up the stairs but looks confused as they start heading for the master bedroom. “Bunni, I don’t wanna go to mama and dad’s room. I wanna go to my room, please.” he says softly and tiredly

He points down the hallway to what would be Damian’s and then Bunni’s future room “Thatd my room”

As they go in, there’s a full size bed in the corner and a desk across from it. Posters on the walls and toys in various places. “This is my room.”

“Thank you.” he yawns

Bunni moves to the bed, pulling back perfectly tucked in covers to lay Bruce under them.

Bruce gets comfortable in his bed and looks up at Bunni “Are you leaving?”

“No.” he leans into Bunni’s touch

“thank you” he whispers “I hate being alone when I go to bed, Alfred normally sits with me.”

“Yeah.” he snuggles further into Bunni, shaking slightly

Bunni hesitates before starting to hum softly once more, a tune different to the one from before. They hum a soft tune they no longer clearly recall the words to, one they remember from their Mama.

Bruce calms down ever so slightly at the humming, he likes this song. his body relaxes but right before he falls asleep his eyes shoot open like he’s forcing them too. “I don’t want to fall asleep.” he says in an small and scared voice

“Cause then I’ll have bad dreams” a problem he has every night. The nightmares are constant, and (as bunni knows) are apparent in his adult life as well.

“Sleep scares.” Bunni gives an understanding nod at this, a worried frown tugging at their lips.

“Yeah. I don’t like it. I always see him.” he shivers as he speaks and he speaks way too quiet for normal ears to hear.

“The mean man.” bruce answers, holding Bunni tighter.

“You do?” he looks up at Bunni with glossed over eyes “Did- …Did they hurt your mama and daddy too?” he asks with a broken voice

Bruce scoots back, slightly frightened of the new person. He’s not very good with meeting new people yet. “Wh-What?”

“Hello.” he says quietly, standing a little straighter. this person seems nice but why do they have animal features? “What’s your name?”

he wants to ask about their features but Alfred says asking about peoples appearances is rude so he doesn’t. “Its nice to meet you. I’m Bruce.” he introduces himself in a small voice, its timid and shy and nothing like what he would grow to be.

he steps a little closer and looks at Bunni’s features, fascinated by their look. “You look really cool.” he didn’t think that was insulting so he said it.
