    Summary

    Bruce – recently injured and working a case that just won’t break – sees the tactical advantages of temporarily ‘dating’ Superman.

    Clark – who was almost too late to save his friend from a fatal fall – doesn’t understand what he’s signed up for.

    For two people who know each other so well, the World’s Finest just can’t manage to get on the same page.

    Summary

    When young Lord Anthony Stark learns Steven Rogers has enlisted in the army, he thinks he's seen the last of his tiny, headstrong, haughty stable boy. But four years later, Lord Stark gets an unexpected visit from Steve, whose mother has fallen gravely ill and into financial ruin. Even more unexpected, Steve agrees to a shocking proposal: they will marry, giving Steve the necessary funds to save his mother, and Tony the much-needed reprieve from harassing would-be suitors. It is a business arrangement, nothing more. But as time goes on and circumstances arise, Tony begins to learn that keeping his heart away from his husband is easier said than done.

    Summary

    Bruce knows Clark better than he knows himself, and he knows about the goddamn ring.

    (or, Bruce is an idiot who knows less than he thinks, Clark has a martyr complex the size of Texas, and none of this is Oliver’s fault, never mind what anyone says.)

    Summary

    Then he took a deep breath and he changed. He ironed out every fold in his posture and his face until he looked like Superman again. His shoulders were broad, his gaze was confident, and his smile showed no sign of embarrassment or fear.

    It’s genuinely uncomfortable to watch.

    Especially since Bruce knows that change. He’s seen it in the mirror before entering parties or nightclubs. He’s always referred to it, internally, as 'putting on my better face.' The façade is his least favourite part of the day, ranking just below 'getting punched by supervillains.'

    The idea that Superman is just Kal's better face, that would explain a lot.

    It would also mean Bruce isn't alone.

    Summary

    So, yes, this is a good thing. This will be good for everyone, actually. Clark will be freed, and the kids will be safer, and Bruce…

    Well, he can't be selfish.

    Loosing Clark will destroy him, but he can't let the other man know that. Then Clark will stay out of obligation, and that's the last thing Bruce wants.

    So.

    It'll be fine.

     

    Or:
    When Clark starts acting strangely, Bruce thinks he wants to breakup.
    Clark does not, in fact, want to break up.
