A/N: Thanks for the reviews! I am sick - in strictly non-obsessive meaning. I just have a cold and it's awful, but I have free time on my hands and I could write this. Yay!
Bachelor
Diana stretched out on a sofa in her favourite living room and reached for one of the magazines, which were laying on a small table. Huge yellow letters were screaming to her from the front page.
Final days of the famous playboy!
She chuckled to herself, looking at the huge photo of Bruce. He was smirking to the camera with that characteristic twist in the corner of his mouth. Wayne smirk, Diana called it once. She opened the newspaper and took a look at the articles inside. She caught a glimpse of headlines like The most wanted bachelor in Gotham – only few days! or The end of Wayne we know!
Diana shut it and threw it on the table, taking another one. She shook her head in amusement. They wrote about Bruce as if he was already dead or at the edge of the death. Sometimes she thought she'll never fully understand Man's World.
Well, at least another newspaper was more optimistic. She smiled when she noticed familiar scene on the cover. A young black-haired woman, dressed in white, flimsy dress and sunglasses was strolling down Via del Corso with a handsome man, dressed casually as well. They were holding hands and the woman had half open, half smiled mouth as if she was talking to her companion. The whole scene was light and sunny and Diana grinned, recalling their vacation in Rome. Her cheeks slightly blushed when reminiscences, which couldn't be catch by paparazzi, appeared in her mind. She moved her gaze lower and read the caption.
Wonder Woman and Bruce Wayne: Love is growing!
This magazine, like the previous one, was full of articles about them. She opened it somewhere in the middle and saw many photos of them in different circumstances. In the corner of one page she noticed close-up of the gold ring, which was currently on the finger of her left hand.
The most awaited wedding of the year!
She'd read few lines, before low familiar voice reverberated in the air.
"Are you enjoying yourself, Princess?"
Diana looked up and grinned happily at the man, who was leaning against the back of the sofa.
"Well, indeed I am since we grabbed all headlines in Gotham," she raised herself on her elbows and kissed him lightly. "Though this one wasn't as funny as that last text about secret Amazonian wedding rituals. I really liked the idea of cutting groom's leg during the ceremony to prevent his escape."
"Oh, yes. Highly amusing perspective," Bruce moved and sat next to her, letting her stretch her legs across his thighs. He ran his fingers over her bare calves and massaged the weak spot under her knee. She purred quietly at his caress. She loved that they could feel so comfortable with each other.
"My favourite was the one about Amazons fighting with best men after the wedding," he added and smirked at her, "Suddenly Clark as my best man seemed to be almost too good idea."
Diana's melodious laughter filled his ears pleasantly. He couldn't get enough of this sound.
"You know, after all those years I still don't get that newspaper madness," she reached her hand and took the magazine with only Bruce's face. "The half of Gotham's citizens weeps over you," she pointed at the headline.
"You mean female half."
Diana raised her eyebrow.
"Mostly," her lips twirled in very mischievous way.
"Speaking about weeping, Playboy's editor has just called me. He wanted to get an interview in my last bachelor's days."
"Oh, really?"
His face felt, "Actually – no. He wanted to get an exclusive session with you, but I said they can forget it," he stated calmly.
Long time ago, when Diana arrived in Man's World, she would've beat the hell out of that impertinent man for the proposition like that, but now she only focused on Bruce's 'protective' reaction. He was charming when he got jealous.
She suddenly changed her position and pulled him down, so he was above her; his face exactly in front of hers.
"Are you going to miss it?" she asked him and he could see the glimpse of seriousness in the clear blue of her eyes.
He frowned, "Miss what?"
"Being bachelor and everything about it."
Diana had never doubted in Bruce's love, but the wedding in three days was something different. He was bachelor for all his life, it was going to be a big change. At least that was what she'd read in one of those magazines.
"Oh, you mean all women at my side, never-ending party and-"
She cut him off by pressing her lips to his and kissing him briefly but passionately, then looked again in his calm eyes.
"-and not having you in my life?" he finished and smiled at her beaming face. "I don't think so."
He leaned down for another kiss. Bachelor's life really was nothing as compared with the woman beneath him.
