A/N: I made this fanfic in time for my birthday. I have listened to this song from Parachute entitled "Under Control" and it somehow speaks about Bruce and the hidden feelings he has for Diana. It's like a song written in his POV. Anyways, here it is. Your reviews can be your birthday gifts for me. Thanks! – B


Under Control
BruceDiana

Chapter 1

I turn my head

I can't shake the look you gave

And I'm good as dead

Cause oh those eyes are all it takes

And all I want is you

Batman decided to get back to his quarters at the dormitory deck of the watchtower. After getting his 8th cup of coffee of the day from the cafeteria, he strode to the hallways, few heroes and crew nodding to him as they passed him by.

Heading inside the elevator, he caught a glimpse of Wonder Woman, making him stiffen at his feet. She smiled at him, waving her hair to the side. Bruce swore he saw her sparkle. Her blue eyes twinkled at him before the elevator doors closed in front of him.

Batman tried to remain calm despite the loud thrumming of his heart. He took a long sip of his coffee, finishing it before the elevator doors dinged open.

He got out of the elevator and headed straight for his room, thankful for the files that he needed to work on. He comfortably sat himself down on his chair and grabbed a blue folder that he filled up with different paperwork. He was glad to have the criminal file cases to distract himself from the woman he saw a while ago.

So I pull away

All I do is sit and wait

And I might as well write the words right on my face

That all I want is you, oh is you

He flipped on a few pages, but his mind did not seem to cooperate with him. No matter how hard he tried, his thoughts kept on drifting back to Diana. Infuriated with himself, he closed the folder and leaned against his chair, arms crossed in front of him.

He wondered to himself how long it was going to take him to keep his feelings for her. He tried to reason out in his head the reasons why a relationship between them would never work out, but he countered them. He thought himself to be going crazy.

Only a few people who knew about the mild flirtation between them, GL being the first to figure it.

"You have feelings for her, Bruce. It's as obvious as having the words painted on your face," Bruce remembered GL told during their small talks in the cafeteria. Were his feelings for her that obvious? Was he really trying to his feelings for her or was he slowly letting her show them?

He pulled off his cowl and glanced up at the ceiling. He was always at loss whenever he was around Diana. The woman had an effect on him he could never comprehend. He was a detective, goddammit, but why couldn't he figure himself out?

Because I've kept my heart under control

Oh but lately all this time has taken its toll

Said I tried to but I can't hold back what's deep in my soul

So darling please forgive me

I want you and you'll just have to know

Bruce needed to hide his feelings for her. No one needed to know that the Batman would fall to his knees at the sight of a beautiful goddess whenever she stood before him. He needed to keep his heart under control or he would get distracted from the mission that he had planned on accomplishing despite its impossibility. His mission was life-long, but he needed to fulfill his promise. With that, he needed to set aside the feelings he had for Diana.
