On the Couch With Bruce and Diana

Today, Bruce and Diana talk about the expression, "You aren't in love with them until you want to kill them." Arina is interviewing them, as for the other interviews to come.

Arina: "So, let's talk about this saying. What do you think about it?"

Diana chuckles and glances at Bruce.

Diana: "Story of my life! Do you know how long I've been waiting for him? It took him four years to ask me out, for Hera's sake! I wanted to just punch him for being so stubborn! I don't even know how many times I wanted to throw him into a wall or how many Batman robots I've destroyed."

Bruce: "You weren't exactly a walk in the park, Princess. You aren't perfect, no matter how beautiful or gifted you are."

Diana scoffs and smacks him on the arm. He keeps a straight face, masking his discomfort.

Diana: "Shut up, Bruce. You were the stubborn one in our relationship. I was the one suffering!"

Bruce: "I didn't want you to get hurt because of me!"

Diana: "Tartarus, I'm an immortal Amazon! What's the worst that could happen to me? I should have been the one worrying about you!"

Bruce shakes his head and crosses his arms. Diana takes in a deep breath and rubs her forehead.

Diana, with a slight sigh: "But, you get over the feelings of hate and then passion and love comes in.. Even if you're the most impossible person in the world."

Bruce, ignoring her last comment: "That's why making love is so amazing. Hate, love, passion, lust.. All of those things in one. It's priceless, especially with this storm of a woman."

Diana smacks him harder.

Bruce: "Diana, temper."

Diana: "You know what? You just shut up! Am I some kind of trophy to you? You can't tell me what to do! I'm an Amazon, for Hera's sake! "

Bruce: "Just because you're an Amazon doesn't mean you're right all the time, Princess."

Diana: "Stop calling me Princess, Bruce!"

Bruce, with a harsh sting in his voice: "You can't tell me what to do either, or it'll be hypocritical."

Diana's eyes widen and lifts her hand to smack his arm once more. Bruce holds her elbow so she can't hit him.

Arina: "Listen guys, let's just calm down and chil-"

Bruce and Diana, in unison: "Shut up!"

Arina: "Alright, alright.. Wow. Now, let me ask one question."

Diana nods and Bruce sighs.

Arina: "Do you love each other?"

Bruce: "More than anything."

Diana: "He's my world."

Arina: "Alright, then. Now, how about you superhero lovebirds rekindle the flame, eh?"

Arina smiles and leans back in her chair. Diana's hand goes back down as Bruce recoils his. She looks at him and he looks right back at her. Bruce grins mischievously and holds Diana's hand. She winks and inches closer. The air gets increasingly awkward and lustful.

Arina: "It's been a pleasure interviewing you two.. Now, I'm going to leave before anything nasty starts."

Arina bolts for the door and wipes her forehead as she reaches safe ground. She takes in a deep breath and peeks through the crack of the door.

Bruce places his hands on Diana's back and kisses her sweetly and softly. Diana buries her hands in his jet black hair and lets out a slight whimper. Their lips part while their eyes lock. All of their apologizes are traded through that simple glance.

Arina smiles and leans against the wall. "Now, that's what love is."
