Bruce can’t handle affection.
Yes. You heard me. BRUCE CANNOT HANDLE AFFECTION. PHYSICAL OR VERBAL, HE CANNOT HANDLE IT!! I will die on this hill. Bruce wayne cannot handle the soft sweet words that come out of someone he loves so dearly, directed at him, because he has always known for those words to never exist. He grew up with mentors and teachers who were always mentors first and parental figures last. He needed one, but he never got it fully. He had to decode the meanings, to earn their love. But it wasn’t easy. And for someone to give them to him? Effortlessly and so crystal clear? He just bursts into tears. He doesn’t know how to handle it, how to deal with it. And it just comes bubbling up in globs of water. Anyways i love bruce wayne chat <333
