Bruce's Smile

Summary: Clark accidentally finds a way to get Bruce to smile instead of the sullen or glare expressions he's known to give to others. For him it's a big accomplishment if he manages to do it not that it matters since he likes how the smile looks on the man since it takes his breath away.


Rather bored and having nothing to do while most of the Justice League are gone expect for himself and Batman which very few known him as Bruce Wayne is currently sitting on the couch in the living room. Clark Kent glances over his shoulder to find the man reading a book with a sullen expression instead of the glare he gets now and then. He furrow his brows wondering for a few minutes what it be like if the Dark Knight has another expression instead of the usual to. For some reason the idea of that makes his heart race which he ignores. Besides they hardly do anything together if they are left alone.

"So Bruce, want to do anything?" Clark ask spying the TV is off and idea of a movie on as background noise be better than the high tension quietness in the room.

"No," Bruce drawls, "I'm good with reading my book."

Clark's eyes twitch hearing the page turns making him sigh out with annoyance not seeing the smirk bordering to a smile on the other man's lips. Rolling his eyes, Clark muses as a scowl appears, 'So much for that idea.' He goes to the kitchen figure to make something to munch on when he accidentally drop some water.

Thinking nothing of it he continues what he's doing. He soon has a bowl with flour and other dry ingredients about to ask the other a question when he slips on the water sending both the dry ingredients and bowl in the air. Soon he's covered with it and now having an empty bowl in his hands.

"Ouch," He hisses only to look up hearing a chuckle like sound which has his breath stop.

The next thing he sees makes it the fact he slip with flour covering him worth it, a smile. His heart beats fast in his chest and mind blank as the soft chuckles continue which seems to have the living room and kitchen brighter, but nothing compared to that beautiful smile on Bruce's mouth. He must have sense him staring making him stop and raise a cool brow.

"What," he ask sharply snapping the man out of his trance.

"You should smile more often," Clark comments trying to control his racing heart as the Dark Knight hums returning his attention back to his book.

"Maybe I will," Bruce states behind the novel not seeing the light pink dusting the man's cheeks at the possibility of seeing that beautiful smile.
