Are you alone? - star_struck_fish

a game night with your friends zuko, suguru, and jinshi turns heated when playful teasing crosses the line into something none of you want to stop.

cw: nsfw, foursome, rough play, praise kink, double penetration, unprotected sex, teasing, overstimulation, aftercare, reader-insert, modern au wc: 2767

the evening had started innocently enough in your apartment. the faint scent of takeout pizza and cigarettes lingered in the air. you, zuko, jinshi, and suguru were sprawled out on the couch, controllers in hand, battling it out in a heated round of mario party. laughter echoed through the room as jinshi trash-talked zuko’s character while suguru leaned back with that sly grin, a cig in his mouth, and occasionally nudging your shoulder to mess up your gameplay. 

“you’re all going down,” zuko declared as he mashed the buttons. 

“don’t let them distract you, yeah?” jinshi said and shooting you a wink. 

suguru chuckled, exhaling toxic smoke into the air. 

the game ended with you in last place, the guys immediately turned their teasing toward you. “so who’s the loser now, huh, princess?” zuko teased, smirking smugly which made you more furious. “it’s not fair! you all ganged up on me,” you protested, tossing your controller aside. 

“time for punishment, then.” jinshi smirked and lunged forward, his fingers dug into your ribs, tickling mercilessly. you squealed, twisting away, but zuko joined in from the other side, no less relentless as jinshi along to your waist. 

New long form fic incoming!!! Unpopular opinion but I love his dreads.

Part two

~Word count: ~4k

~Warnings: mentions of death and grief, emotional trauma, mild swearing, No use of Y/n, canon divergence, mutual pining, eventual smut

~Description: ~You're a marine biologist studying the tolkun. They had been experimenting on the genes of the classic avatar to manipulate it into one more suited to the water. The base is far enough away from the civilizations that they don't bother it, but they are able to examine their culture. This is a fic where Neytiri died at the same time as Neteyam. So most of it is the same, Jake is just mourning his mate as well as his son.

2026 Edition Here!

Ongoing fics:

I rarely read incomplete fics, but these were just irresistible.

1.The Baby Screams by trashygivenchy Sasuke hasn’t seen his childhood best friend—and the only person he’s ever truly been in love with—since they were eighteen; fourteen whole years ago. He has a wife and a successful career; he moved on, accepting he’d never see Naruto again. Until he finds himself in Naruto’s restaurant, confronted by his own devastating passivity.

- Pure desire, sexual tension, and regrets. Modern Setting, AU. I feel like the author kept them in character, but they've been able to add more to NaruSasu. Edit: Nov/25 - This fic is now Complete! Go read it ASAP.

2. Through the lens by moonshine_dust Naruto Uzumaki never expected a routine school visit to change anything in his life. He was just there to give a safety talk, crack some jokes, and go back to his boring shift. But then he met Menma, a quiet kid with a camera. And when his mysterious, sharp-eyed father walks in, Naruto finds himself tangled in something he never saw coming. Between school drop-offs, accidental run-ins, and stolen snapshots, Naruto starts seeing a different side of Sasuke Uchiha—the devoted father, the tired man, the one he can’t seem to get out of his head. Maybe keeping the streets safe wasn’t the only thing worth protecting.

-

This one is just distilled sweetness. The idea of Sasuke as a parent may seem OOC, but the author clearly knows what they're doing. The writing and pacing are great, too. Also, Police Officer Naruto! 3.Beyond a Reasonable Doubt by slushyluvrr Naruto shrugged, shoving his hands into his pockets. “Nothing really. Passed by, saw you licking your coffee lid like some kind of feral animal, figured I’d stop in. ”Sasuke’s grip on the pen tightened. “I wasn’t licking it.” “You totally were.” “I was preventing a spill.” Naruto raised an eyebrow. “With your tongue?”

-

The description may not give you clues about the plot, but this is a Lawyer NaruSasu fic! They're old-time friends who split up and discovered each other once more when Sasuke goes back to town. The scenes are great, and there is something heartbreaking about them.

Please give all of these fics a read and a comment to encourage authors! I'm always amazed and grateful to be able to read this for free.

Complete fics:

1.After The World Fell Down by zephyras13 Naruto has been fighting a war for the life of his neighborhood for the past four years, with no end in sight. His world is violent, arbitrary, and ruthless, but it is simple. It makes sense. And then Uchiha Sasuke fucks everything up. SN EXCHANGE FIC. - This is my favorite SNS fic for many reasons. Fantastic worldbuilding, character descriptions, and fights! This is a true action-romance drama. Naruto is a tragic character, missing his old life before his city was invaded. The author managed to write a suffocating story with an added hopeful romance plotline. Please, please, read and give it love.

2. That Which Comes Easy by ShimaShips Naruto and Sasuke watch a movie about lost love. The resulting conversation brings up questions about the meaning of love and whether Naruto's feelings for Sasuke are really so brotherly after all. - A second favorite. Feeling realizations kind of fic, Non-AU, and canon divergent. It's sweet, nostalgic, and it respects it's characters.

3.Aftermath by CanineKitten Naruto is tired of seeing Sasuke leave again and again. This time he’s going with him. - A classic.

4.heart for brains by almostprimary A spray of champagne hitting the back of Naruto’s neck snaps him out of his thoughts. He turns towards the direction of fire, and standing behind the bottle is none other than Sasuke himself. “Distracted, Uzumaki?” he asks, a smirk growing wider on his face. Something hot flares up inside of Naruto, a unique brand of rage that only surfaces when Sasuke is around. He wants to wipe that smirk right off of Sasuke’s face. Naruto, shiny new Scuderia Ferrari driver and Sasuke Uchiha, Red Bull Racing driver and Naruto's sworn rival, compete for the Formula One World Driver's Championship. - This is another one of my constant re-reads. I love it when stories show and don't tell, and I think this is one of those authors who manages to convey their intentions through scenes.

5.homesick for a mountain's song by kintou

This one doesn't need a description because it's a LITERARY CLASSIC. But if there's a poor soul who hasn't read it, do yourself a favor.

6.No One is Coming by wedonotsow

In the bleak winter on the frontline there was only dark skies, the smell of gunpowder, unrelenting snowfalls, and the enemy. Thankfully, there was also Sasuke.

Military and Modern AU. Narusasu. TW for brief knife violence and dark themes. - It's PAINFUL to notice this fic being overlooked for so long. Where do I start? Although it is tragic and realistic in a painful way, this short story captures SNS's appeal and love amid a war. It mixes canon themes with its own version of Konoha.

7. Come Spring by Panlock

Four times Sasuke doesn't express his feelings and the one time he does. Every time he looks at Naruto it's like this. There are so many things he wants to say but he always bites his tongue. He never shows his hand. A few times he has put words on paper but these messages were always destroyed before anyone could know their secrets. Those words are clawing at his throat right now, demanding to be set free.

-

Must experience this read with no spoilers or information. Sorry.

8.your love is sunlight by frogsterz

“Does it make you sad?” Sasuke murmured, voice barely louder than the din of the restaurant. “That there’s nothing left of our childhood. How many times can you rebuild the city you lost before it’s no longer the city you love?”

“Endlessly,” said Naruto at once.

(Unsuited to post-war peace, Uzumaki Naruto is waiting for something to happen in his life again. Enter Sasuke.)

-

Annd this is another one of my favorites. I've read it three times since it was published, and I always discover more things to love about it. It is painful; the longing and melancholy can be read through the author's words. Ugh! I fucking love it.

9. everything rough by youngamerican

The first thing that Sasuke says to Naruto after four years is, “I knew they would send you.” The first thing Naruto says to Sasuke after four years is, “You’re an asshole.” - I like it when fics have action scenes, and this one will entertain and fix our broken hearts after that terrible fever dream of an ending.

10.When spring comes by blushyfreckles

“Say, Naruto…what sort of flowers would you give your girlfriend?”

Naruto blinked, his hands tucked lazily behind his head as he shuffled his legs. “Huh? What do you mean?”

“Why are you asking him, he doesn’t even have a girlfriend —“ Kiba’s obnoxious response came right away, without letting Naruto reconsider the question coming from Shikamaru, who scratched at his neck, peeved, his overwhelmed attitude of someone who wasn’t used to gifting women, or gifting anyone for that matter.

Naruto huffed, and turned to Kiba, falling back easily into his provocative remarks and Choji’s nonchalant agreement, while shoving another thin piece of chip into his mouth. “I don’t have a girlfriend yet, but I know damn well enough what women would like unlike you —“

-

This one is short, and so so so sweet. This is an author who clearly knows what they're doing, and I feel like they know Sasuke's character too well, and can capture his essence in a few words. READ EVERYTHING MADE BY THIS AUTHOR!

11. Beneath the Surface by Charlotteee12

The case was simple.

On paper, anyway. Maison Mizūmi, an ultra-exclusive, high-end ryokan nestled in the middle of nowhere, had racked up a string of missing guests over the last month. No leads, no bodies, just eerie vanishing acts. The only pattern? Every guest had checked in as part of a couple.

So here they were. Naruto and Sasuke. Undercover.

As a couple. - This one is a breath of fresh air and just fun fun fun to read. It is a detective AU series, but I haven't read the rest of the fics.

12.A quiet life with you by blushyfreckles

I won't paste the description! Go read EVERYTHING made by blushyfreckles. This human being can narrate a tragic backstory with a few scenes and gives us readers a ton to the imagination.

13. The night is brighter around you by blushyfreckles

I won't paste the description! They are my favorite author, and their writing is subtle, romantic, and deep. I think it's an intense fic encapsulated in a small package. It's a character study and shows, in my eyes, a great understanding of Naruto and Sasuke's relationship. Ugh!! Do yourself a favor and read it.

14. phototaxis by mockingbird_mb

Naruto's hand stays there, hidden by the underside of the table, scorching through the fabric. Neither of them react to it, at least outwardly. So when his fingers scrape gently along the inside of Sasuke’s thigh, it’s like nothing’s happened. Nothing is happening. Nothing ever happens.

-

This one hurts in all the right ways. Human characters with guilt and self-sabotaging behaviors that feel real, relatable, and faithful to canon, with a twist.

15. Five Star Hotels. by trashygivenchy

But Sasuke stopped lying to himself a long time ago, when Naruto uppercut the shit out of him and softly insisted for the millionth time that they were friends with a claim on each other’s pain, despite the missing arms, especially with the missing arms.

The arrangement was nice because of Naruto. He came back to Konoha each time for Naruto and Naruto alone.

Then Naruto went and got a girlfriend.

-

This one made me feel like I was a voyeur watching something unfold (and I shouldn't have, lol). This is yearning personified.

16. before you leave again by moonlithic

Naruto has been in love with Sasuke for years. Even though Sasuke was constantly gone, his feelings never went away.

He kept it to himself. Until this time.

- Just, excellent. Lovely writing. Healing. Skin-cleansing. Revitalizing. Amazing. Beautiful. Realistic.

17. Fate, Don't Fail Me Now by RosaLui (Restricted)

The twin suns rose. Scorched the sand below. Set.

Naruto Uzumaki wore his clothes thin, fixed his droids with callused hands, and brought himself to school. Failed out. Applied to the Academy. Failed out of that too. Worked. Sweated. Stared at the binary stars and dreamed that he was meant for more, for better, than dying here.

-

I am a firm beliaver that we need more AU fics in this fandom. This is a StarWars inspired fic, and it was COOL af. Very sensual too.

18.Long, Long Shall I Rue Thee (a translation) by snowypreyer

"Death comes in phases."

-

This is another one of my top SNS fics. I felt like I was reading an award-winning novella all throughout. The author was immensely creative and decided to narrate Narusasu's story via another character. It is subtle, smart, and heartbreaking, but overall, it is beautiful.

19.Pyretos by Atanih88 (Restricted) Sasuke came to stand closer. Naruto watched him, taking in the easy strides and the way Sasuke’s face remained devoid of expression as he took in Naruto’s wounds.

-

Holy fuck. Tension. Slowburn.

20. where you go, i'm going by anntea

It's been years since Sasuke ran away from Konoha, years since he left the orphanage and his best friend behind. The last thing he wants to do is go back, but he does.

-

Just. Stunning. Modern AU replica (or retelling?) of their stories in canon. Loss. Pain and Longing. 21. The Gaijin and the Rōnin by KoeblDvd

In feudal Japan, Sasuke Uchiha encounters a mysterious man who aids him in navigating the political turmoil of the impending Shogunate.

-

Based on the 6th ending, where they're Samurai. 22. Nescit Cedere by cupricanka If you need someone to save your baby, Naruto is your guy. He, after all, doesn’t know how to give up.

-

It is mostly horror, but the underlying romance complements the creepiness and impact of the fic. The characters are fantastic and well-written. Don't read if you're prone to nightmares. 23. homeward by mnee

Sasuke returns to Konoha.

Or, more accurately, to Naruto. - God. I feel like writing my opinion would mean spoiling this fic. This fic is INTENSE, brutal, hopeful, sweet, delicate, and artistic. This is one of the authors you can use to post deep quotes on Instagram, lol.

I Never Trust a Playboy (But They Love Me) by the_oncoming_stormageddon

Summary:

Clark knows he should be staying out of Gotham's business; Batman had made that perfectly clear when he joined the League.

It starts like this. Clark Kent has a hopeless crush on a woman who's out of his league. Bruce Wayne has a newly-acquired kid he feels ill-equipped to raise. Superman is still finding his feet.

Careless by TheCourtSorcerer

Summary:

“Woah!” They froze. A wolf whistle echoed through the conference room behind Bruce. Colour flooded Clark’s face.

The awkward tension was thick enough to cut. Or Bruce & Clark decide to spend some post-mission time together in the conference room. Unfortunately, they seem to forget there was a meeting planned...

Clark thought he had a pretty good idea of what a relationship with Bruce Wayne would be like. He thought wrong. He especially wasn’t expecting Bruce’s affinity for pet names. He isn’t complaining about it, though.

Use Your Words by Mawiiish

Summary:

“You like it, huh?” He said, not really a question. “You like it when I tell you all the dirty thoughts I have while I fuck you?” The responding moan was agreement enough for Clark to continue. He straightened his back as he grabbed Bruce’s hips again with renewed fervor. He ground his hips against Bruce’s ass, just once before pulling back. Slamming back in he closed his eyes as he let his thoughts run to his mouth, not filtering through any of them.

takes one to know one (the love square) by soetry

Summary:

Superman is infatuated with Bruce Wayne. Batman is infatuated with Clark Kent. Looking at it that way, it really shouldn't be as complicated as it is.

No appointment necessary by orphean

Summary:

Clark was rubbing circles on Bruce’s slacks, each circle moving him further up Bruce’s thighs. ‘Something to remember me by while I’m gone?’ Clark leaned his cheek against the inside of Bruce’s thigh, close enough to his crotch that each of his breaths, even through two layers of cloth, felt like a caress. ‘Is Superman gonna blow me in my office?’ Bruce was certain that no one else in the world had ever seen Superman smile like that, dirty and excited.

Malleable by rabbit-factory (LifetimeMovie)

Summary:

It feels wrong to pull this hard, and Clark can feel the minute way the muscle fibers strain and resist as Clark moves, how the bone drags for what feels like a century before it gives with a soft pop and settles back into the joint. If Clark hadn’t been so close, hadn’t been him, he doubts he would have been able to hear the noise that Bruce makes, soft and punched out, as his shoulder moves unnaturally back into place. --- As the only human on the team, Bruce sometimes needs a little help staying in fighting form. Who is Clark to deny that help?

A Freezing Heaven by TiniestGoblin (singasirensong)

Summary:

It still throws Bruce for a loop, how much Clark seems to trust him. Especially after— Well. After everything. “You think he’s in the ship,” he says, watching as Diana nods. “If he is, you are the only one who can reach him.” Her voice is grave, eyes imploring. He sighs like he’s being put out, though he suspects they both know there was very little Bruce wouldn’t do when it came to Clark. “I’ll fuel up the jet.”

What would be the point?” “Oh, Clark,” Bruce is suddenly holding Clark's face with both of his hands, “the point is that I'm going to land us in a helicopter somewhere for all your classmates to see.” Clark sighs and closes his eyes. “Say 'yes', Clark,” Bruce orders. Clark doesn't open his eyes, just says, “Yes, Clark.”

Took You Long Enough by Mawiiish

Summary:

Bruce's kids bully him into trying to confess to Clark. Try being the key word, because Bruce is not good at feelings. It all culminates on his birthday. -- “Why don’t you Brucie him?” Jason said offhandedly. He was flipping through a book, but he wasn’t fooling anyone. He was just as much in this ambush as the others. “What?” Bruce croaked intelligently. “Brucie him,” Dick said, a smile growing on his face. “That’s actually a good idea, Jay.”  “I only have good ideas.” Nobody wanted to comment on that.

Clark Kent vs. The Wayne Family Values by quiddd

Summary:

Life as Bruce Wayne’s paramour is hardly the glamorous, erotic grope-fest the tabloids made it out to be. They mostly do normal things like nag each other about work, eat takeout, make love, and put forth semi-respectable efforts at communication. Life as Batman’s paramour, on the other hand, promises a slightly less conventional set of experiences.

fallin' for him was like fallin' from grace by Resacon1990

Summary:

“But Bruce isn’t gay?” Clark points out, and there’s an awkward moment of everyone clearing their throats and avoiding Clark’s eyes until he turns to stare at Bruce. “Are you?” Bruce blinks for a moment before offering a sheepish smile. “I’m not… not?” he offers, and Clark feels his brain just about short-circuit at the news.

The Downsides to a Secret Identity by liodain

Summary:

Bruce Wayne has taken a shine to Clark Kent, but Clark is more interested in the Bat of Gotham. The Bat, however, has it in for the Superman in a big way.

Clark showed up at the lake house in the middle of the night, feverish, out of control, and terrified of hurting someone. He asked Bruce to chain him up to make sure he wasn't a danger to anyone. It didn't occur to him that bringing himself in close proximity to the person he wanted most while his body was going haywire might not have been his best idea.

Teachable Moments by manic_intent

Summary:

Clark knew that ‘Bruce Wayne’ was an act, one that was decades-old, that smile, the clothes, even the way Bruce stood, slightly hunched, making his imposing height look less threatening. The blank look in his eyes, the limp handshake, the lazy guileless smile: they were all as much Bruce’s armour as his suit’s vambraces and cowl. Some days, though, watching Bruce work the rounds, Clark wasn’t entirely sure if Bruce himself remembered where the mask stopped and where the real Bruce bled in. The ballerina’s lipstick left a red smear on Bruce’s pristine white collar, and Bruce looked at it and laughed, delighted, drunken. Clark looked away, a sour clench in his gut. He was going to have to leave or something was going to break.

two years in the making by knoxoursavior

Summary:

Bruce’s mornings are usually spent in bed, trying to ignore the pain in his hips and his knees as he finally gets up and answers Alfred’s insistent calls to breakfast.

Instead, there’s Clark Kent, eating his toast and drinking his orange juice and decidedly not dead. Alfred could’ve warned him.

when you're really wanting more by susiecarter

Summary:

Bruce might never have figured it out at all if it hadn't been for the sex curse. (It's not actually a sex curse. But for Clark, it's pretty close.)

Sunshine On A Cloudy Day by even_atlas

Summary:

Bruce lets himself be guided by Clark’s hands, his head falling back to let the suds be washed out. Clark can’t help the spark of amazement at the pliant surrender, the softness of his throat vulnerable to the open room. “I’ve never seen you so relaxed,” he comments in awe. And it’s true. Even in the safety of the Batcave, even in Wayne Manor, he’s never seen Bruce look so…small. “Tired,” Bruce mutters dismissively. Clark knows he must be. It’s been two days since they left the prison where Clark was being kept, and who knows how long he was searching before he finally found him. But Clark’s seen him push on with less sleep and more exertion than this. He won’t complain, though. It’s a privilege to see Bruce like this. To be trusted like this.

I only dream of you by ionia

But The Yearning by even_atlas

Summary:

He sighs shakily when Clark lightly squeezes his pecs together, thumbing at his nipples. Bruce’s hips shift almost unconsciously, pressing down against the bed. Slick is gathering between his cheeks, a sticky, warm feeling. He feels Clark breathe in deeply behind him, his palms smoothing down to Bruce’s belly and back up, teasing along the waistband of his underwear. “I can smell how wet you are,” Clark says, voice soft and deep. He plucks at Bruce’s nipples again, and Bruce can’t help the little moan he lets out, his head falling back against Clark’s shoulder. Clark kisses his neck. “I want you to feel so good.”

Quieter Without You lostinreeverie

Summary:

Bruce lingered at the table, packing away his notes slowly as he watched Clark head straight for Ray. The two fell into step naturally, laughing about something—Ray gesturing animatedly while Clark leaned in slightly, nodding with that wide, easy smile of his. Bruce couldn’t hear them, but it didn’t matter. He knew that look. Knew that tone, even when he couldn’t hear the words. They disappeared out the door together, voices muffled to silence as it slid shut behind them. It was fine. He was cool with it. Even if the cold feeling in his gut hadn’t gone away. “Ouch,” said Oliver, sidling up beside him. “Looks like you’ve been replaced, Bats.” Or, Bruce doesn’t get jealous—except maybe when someone starts stealing all of Clark’s attention.

Something Bolted Down by deloled

Summary:

“Clark.” His name reached him, ears so fine-tuned to that specific frequency that it could have come from right over his shoulder and not all the way in Gotham. It hadn’t been urgent — not Batman, too hurt to get out of his armor like last time Clark had been called, suddenly, to Gotham. To Bruce, half sprawled over the hood of his car, breath ragged. And it hadn’t been Bruce whining his name from bed like the time before. That had sounded urgent, too. This was distracted, like Bruce was focused on something else. “Blowtorch,” Bruce said. “The small one.”

Or We Could Try by nocanonhere

everybody says by shipyrds

Summary:

"We have brought you here as a final appeal to the being called Super-man, Kal-El of Krypton, in hopes that your presence will induce him to hear our plea for aid in our dispute with the Khigezxans. Please understand you are in no danger here, and you will be kept in comfort and privilege in concession to your status as Kal-El’s soulmate.” Uraa pauses and looks at him a little nervously, awaiting his response. Bruce blinks at them. “Excuse me,” he says, finally. “I think your translator must be malfunctioning. Kal-El’s what?” -- Bruce gets kidnapped. Shenanigans ensue.

take a pic, strike a pose by shipyrds

Summary:

It’s probably a good thing Clark’s in private, because when he does check his notifications he almost cracks his phone in half. Bruce has sent him a picture. He’s in the suit, in the Batcave, and there’s probably other things happening in the picture, but Clark can’t really see any of those, because Bruce is– posing? Or maybe the camera just caught him like that; maybe he just happened to be catching his cape one-handed, setting off the sinuous curve of his bicep, the Bat logo straining across his chest. -- Bruce sends Clark a pic. Unfortunately, it goes out to some other people too.

He really shouldn’t have to explain this to Clark of all people, it’s not like they haven’t been on missions together before. “I get that, but what about Diana? Shayera?” Anyone who doesn’t have a big fat crush on Bruce would do.

(I Know) Of A Certain Star by indecisive_fan_girl

Summary:

A file was attached. Kal opened it to see a small creature almost completely composed of a large, limpid eye staring at him from the display. Kal closed the report and rested his chin on his hand. His eyes found themselves staring at the blank screen of the gently pulsing scanner. He imagined Batman on that plane circling Starro's mothership. He imagined him collecting a tiny spore and taking that picture. He remembered that tiny, pink star with its huge, shining eye. Perhaps with the capability of being a tiny beacon--or even some sort of dangerous clone. Kal was reluctant to admit it was slightly adorable. Or: When the Justice League calls on the Caretakers for help caring for a certain world-conqueror's spore, Kal learns what it means to face his fears, and maybe even finds somewhere he belongs.

a little push (literally) by mikaminato

Summary:

“You should ask Superman out,” he says as if it were the most obvious thing in the world, despite the scowl still on his face. “Why haven’t you done it yet, Father?” It only takes Bruce a moment to find his voice again, and then he sighs as well, rubbing his forehead with his fingers. “Clark and I are just friends, Damian.” “Why?” Damian asks suspiciously, eyeing him like Bruce is trying to hide something. “You don’t find him attractive enough? Strong enough? Intelligent enough? The only flaws I can think of are his insufferable optimism and the way he wears that godforsaken suit, and neither of those is enough of an excuse, Father, really. You have no other viable reason for not having asked him out, correct?” (Or, Bruce had long accepted that his feelings for Clark would remain forever platonic. But sometimes, all it takes is a small push to change everything. And in this case, emphasis on small).

Bruce Wayne does not get jealous. Even if he did, it wouldn't be over Clark. They're friends, nothing more.

He is not the first of Bruce’s children to point out that Bruce has a certain… soft spot for Clark. Even Bruce is willing to admit it himself; Clark is his friend. His best friend.

“No, no,” Bruce shakes his head, briefly looking up through his eyelashes at Clark in a way that has his breath catching in his throat. This is what Bruce is known for, isn't it? "It’s nothing. It’s always my pleasure to talk about my kids.” Clark practically melts, and the twist of Bruce’s lips when he mentions his kids vaguely reminds Clark of a certain armored colleague of his. --- Bruce really shouldn't flirt with Superman when he's both in his civilian identity and unaware of Bruce's identity. But, God, he's so pretty.

Just Like a Dream by mediaraiz

Clark would like them all to stop saying that, thank you very much.

The seconds are dragging out for too long and he doesn’t know how much longer before his true rut hits him and he’ll no longer be a man. “Is it?” Clark leans in closer, his scent intoxicating. Warm vanilla, a hint of sunlight, the fresh blades of grass on his parent’s farm, and sweet honey that’s entrapping him further. “Is it so wrong to want you?” He whispers softly and Bruce breaks. Or, Bruce, an Alpha, can’t have another Alpha and Clark wants to prove him wrong.

Summary:

Bruce grabs the wrists that are held against his chest, trying to push him off. Kal just shoves him again, his deceptive strength keeping Bruce pinned. His eyes are ablaze, brows low and angry, disapproving. He’s shorter than Bruce, dark hair blowing in the wind, but his presence is large, his power crackling under his skin. “Get off me.” “No.” Kal’s fingers are digging into his armor, leaving dents. “You’re reckless and stupid. You don’t know what you’re doing.” “And you do? How long have you even been on this planet?” Kal draws his hand back, and Bruce tenses, thinking this is it. They’re finally going to kick the shit out of each other, and probably break some things along the way. But that doesn’t happen.
