HELLO MY SWEET LOVELY BABES! How are ya'll doing? Sorry for the delay, but finally another update of Young Bond.
Hope you enjoy! ;)
Clark walked into the diner with Bruce close behind him. The shorter boy followed him to a booth away from the rest of the people, but he didn't complain.
"Hello Sweetie" A waitress greeted Clark as she took out a pen "Who's your friend?"
"Hi Cindy, this is Bruce. He just moved here."
"Oh where are you from?"
Bruce answered her, hesitantly "Gotham, ma'am"
"Oh dear, I heard that place was ferocious. Do you live on the outskirts of the city?"
"You can say that"
"I thought so because you sound like a well-mannered kid. Anyhoozer, what will you two be having?"
After they placed their orders she took their menus and scurried off. As soon as she left Clark face-palmed himself, this caused Bruce to grin. "You okay?"
"I-I am so sorry. She's a nice lady, really-"
"Clark, It's fine. She's right Gotham isn't the nicest city on the planet. Probably the reason why my parents left me here."
"Oh dude, that's harsh. I'm sorry"
"I don't want to talk about it"
"Okay then…uh….What's your favorite color?"
"…What?" Bruce chuckled at the topic.
"Hey don't judge me it was the first thing that popped in my head"
"Here are your drinks, boys. The food won't be long now" The waitress came over just in time, relieving the awkwardness that was building between them.
When she left Bruce took a drink of his coke and smile at the boy across from him. "It's black by the way"
Clark just smiled back at him. He was happy that his random question and embarrassment wasn't a deal breaker.
After lunch they split the bill, even though Clark insisted on paying. Bruce said he at least pay half since Clark was helping him out.
"So what you want to do?" Clark asked as they exited the small building.
"Well you said you'd show me around, so…" Bruce gave him a light bop with his shoulder. "Show me"
"Well behind me you can see the diner aaaand…" Clark points back and turns to point down the street "to your right is city hall" The boys laughed and started to walk toward wherever the day took them.
They found themselves at the football field, when the sun started to set, just taking in the warm breeze as they lap around the field. As they continued they had long conversations about nothing. From their favorite music to what they wanted out of life, as if they had the chance to be anything.
Clark placed his hands behind his head "If I had a choice maybe a journalist"
"Really?"
"Don't say it like that"
"Sorry man" Bruce covered up a smile as he walked ahead.
"Alright hot shot, what do you want to be?"
Bruce walked silently as he thought about his reply. "…You know what I want to talk about?"
"Oh no getting out of this-"
"Let's talk about that kiss" Clark stopped in his tracks. He knew they were going to talk about that, eventually. He was just hoping another day.
"um…I'm not usually the type of guy to kiss someone I just met"
"Well I'm not usually the guy to kiss a stranger back" Clark had absolutely nothing to say.
"Please stop being cute. It could really affect my health" Clark's eye locked on Bruce's, completely baffled.
Cocking his head to the side Bruce asks, "Is it too early to call you cute?"
"ha…nah" Clark looked done to the ground as he closed the gap between them. When he could feel his hot breathe he looked up at the shorter boy's lips. "I like it"
Bruce froze as he processed what was happening. It would be too easy to kiss him, but he turned his head away. "Sorry I-I…"
Clark took a step back, "Don't worry about it. There's no rush"
He understood that Bruce wanted to take their time and he wasn't going to force him. "Hey, do you want to come over? Maybe stay for dinner?"
"Sure" The taller boy gave him a goofy smile, which he couldn't help but roll his eyes and laugh. He pushed Clark playfully as if to challenge him.
"Bet I can beat you to the field goal-" Bruce took off, shouting the last of his sentence behind him.
"Yeah Right!" Clark yelled, as he ran after him.
~Having dinner with Clark's parents? Good luck, Brucie. Haha I hope you enjoyed this chapter and I just want to thank all my readers for the support. I love you, babes!~
