Bruce’s Interlude Warning! Unfulfilled smut

- this takes place between chapters so you don’t have to read it especially if you don’t like smut anyway enjoy!

Against popular belief Bruce was not entirely emotionally incompetent. He could realize somethings about himself quite well.

He could realize the the strain between him and Tim was his own fault.

He could realize that most of his relationships with his sons were his fault.

He could realize that ever even looking in Talias direction had been a mistake.

He could realize that Catwoman never loved Bruce only Batman.

He knew when he was physically attracted to someone, and often his playboy persona was perfect for it. So yes he was attracted to Vlad but he wasn’t going to make a move. He wasn’t.

Vlad didn’t show any inclination of liking Bruce more than a friend. He called Bruce that a lot, his friend. He didn’t deserve it.

Bruce knew he was selfish.

Utterly selfish. Bruce was use to harsh quips and leather. But Vlad was different, he was all snark with no bite and softness that lulled the caped crusader under.

Bruce was selfish and wanted anyway.

He wanted to sleep on top of his plush looking thighs. He wanted to take care of this vulnerable man who loved his children and baked and tried to make Bruce smile on bad days. He wanted to take care of Vlad who sometimes looked at his children with sad eyes. Who crumpled to the ground when Bruce had accidentally called him Vladdie once.

Bruce’s heart sputters when he’s called Vlads friend. And he pretends to be emotionally unaware as to why.

—- —- —-

They’re warm and snug into the couch of Vlad’s living room watching a K-drama when it starts.

Bruce doesn’t have the words to tell the silver haired father that he is falling for him. Somehow he ends up allowed to kiss him anyway.

Allowed to soak in the man’s sigh as their mouths part for air. To pepper his face with kisses and watch that gentle smile paint his face. The same one Vlad makes when he’s secretly, utter fond of something. Like deserts, and his children’s screams and cheesy cliches in movies. Bruce wants to earn one of those smiles.

Bruce kisses his neighbors mouth again. Hands roving over his sides, perching themselves on that wonderful tummy and squeezing. Vlad gasps prettily as he licks down the man’s throat.

Bruce is hard in his trousers and has to stop himself from jumping his companion. If he could he’d smack himself for the audacity, Vlad wasn’t Selina or Talia or any of his countless flings. Vlad was fragile and soft and perfect.

“Mmuh,” the man in question groans, fuck. Fuck when had Bruce started touching Vlad like that. He looked down at his hand that were playing with Vlads tummy, skirting around his bulge.

Bruce moves his hands up to cares his face before his kisses him again. He wants to take this slow. Wants this to work.

“Ahh ah Bruce,” legs spread.

Bruce slots himself into the space instead of taking his own advice. And is rewarded with Vlad lifting his hips up to rub their erections together. His resolve snaps and he is rutting down on his partner like a horny inexperienced teenager. It feels so good, so warm. Vlad runs his hands gently threw the vigilantes hair, there’s no pulling it doesn’t hurt. It makes Bruce slow down and kiss him again.

Bruce props pillows behind Vlad and picks him up by the legs until he’s sitting down at the edge of the couch. “Hhhmmm Bruce what are you doing?” Amusement filling his features.

Bruce slides off the couch, Vlad’s legs twitched around him. He leaned into the aborted touch and laid his cheek on a thigh. Bruce was again at a loss for words he didn’t know what he was doing. This is all he wanted.

All he wanted was to be allowed to rest in Vlad’s thighs and breathe. He gripped the meat of his partners thighs closer to his head, turning his head to kiss the thigh he was laying on.

“Oh, oh Bruce.”

His entire being stiffened. No, no no! Why did Vlad sound sad? He wasn’t supposed to be sad anymore, Bruce’s stomach twisted. What had he done wrong?

He looked up at the man that had filled his life with so much light. Vlad was crying, why why was he crying? Bruce could apologize, he could fix this he could-

“I have to go now.”

Go where? No no no. Don’t go! Don’t leave him alone please, please. Bruce shut his eyes, remembering being abandoned at the alter. He didn’t want to be alone anymore.

“You lied to me.”

Bruce shook, and swallowed as his throat dried. Batman. Always Batman he-

Hands caressed his head, Bruce had lied about being Batman and Vlad still-

“Oh darling. You can’t save me.”

Bruce’s head spun, his heart lurched.

“You can’t save me.”

What ? No he-

“You can’t save me. “

No no no wait ! Bruce reached out and his fingers connected to noting.

-

Bruce wakes up in a quiet house, cold and alone. He sits up in his own bed uncomfortably hard in his pants and feels nothing but shame.

He sees his phone charging on the bedside and ignores Vlad’s texts. He doesn’t deserve to inflict his brokenness on to the kind man.

Bruce regrets his self punishment four days later.

It causes him to hate himself more. It starts the vicious cycle all of Bruce’s relationship go threw. It’s a routine a more emotionally aware person would be able to notice and maybe even stop.

Gandalf folds clothes for Frodo

Frodo undoes it and shoved it in a bag

DM: he just folded it all nice for you!!!

Fae Tim fae Tim

Tag me!!!

Tim should be allowed to murder as a treat!

Idea: Up Tim’s whole deranged child held back only by Bruce’s code vibe by having him decide murder is ok as long as it’s not in Gotham/as Robin. Set between Jasons return and Bruce’s „death“ maybe Joker leaves Gotham and Tim goes after him and Jason sees him???

Okay okay okay kindred theater kids yes but hear me out!

If they jumped into a different dimension imagine those musicals don’t even exist in DC?!!! So they just don’t explain, commit to the bit!!! And hey Danny doesn’t want to a hero anyway! This is a great cover story so that maybe he’d be left alone for once! (Cue Constantine panic lol.)

Also like hey! What Sam does with her life is her business!!!

Maybe they let Jason in on it after finding out he’s liminal and Jason is ecstatic! A whole other universe filled with unseen musicals!

Or maybe the musicals only exist in amity- feels like a place that would have Beetlejuice as a popular story lol!

Danny tucker and sam are board in their new Gotham apartment so with nothing to do they deside the most logical course of action

They reenacted the song say my name from beetlejuice the musical now they didn't really mean any harm just casual theatre teen fun

Too bad the bats only see a girl about to jump and 3 spectres offering help (one possibly a demon trying to get the girl to invoke his name 3 times)

Me and my brother debating whether or not Barney is Baby Boop and BJs Dad???

Family Discussions

- Kim thinking/talking to Lloyd

< Lloyd to Kim

Lloyd and Kim were for as long as they could remember the same person, at least where it mattered. That is until they grew up, Kim chalking it up to a story a comforting idea of escaping poverty but now that he was reunited with Lloyd he was going to do whatever it took to get them their slacker dream!

Lloyd new he had been withdrawing into themselves too much. The barony was getting suspicious, not that they knew the real him anyway. He knew he should come out more if only to save Kim the embarrassment but Lloyd didn’t want to move. They were all better off without him, Kim too.

Kim wrapped his arms around their body in the only hug he could provide Lloyd.

-Don’t think like that Lloyd! It will all work out! I’m going to make us so much money!

Their body began to sway and hum

- How about we sing a song a song about all the bad things to help you let go of it all?

Lloyd smiled, he didn’t think it would work but Kim had been the only one to ever try. Even his personal servants who had cared for him, believed him and been on his side could comfort him. Left him eventually but Kim was different Kim wouldn’t leave.

When I'm away from you, I'm happier than ever

The barons family were all together, that is except Lloyd, when their discussion stoped. They were astonished, who knew Lloyd could sing?

Javier frowned to himself, how had he never heard Lloyds voice like this before?

Wish I could explain it better

What was Lloyd taking about?

Javier’s stomach twisted someone had hurt Lloyd! But when? They were always together ! A dark part of his mind laughed “always together” you really are a sorry excuse for a knight, you never even entered the bar with Lloyd before there are million different ways he could have gotten hurt! And. You. Weren’t. There! Let’s face it you only care now because Lloyds useful you’re as bad as the rest of them!

I wish it wasn't true

Give me a day or two to think of something clever

Julien looked at his parents in worry, what was happening? Lloyd wasn’t a sad person, what is up with this stupid song!

To write myself a letter

To tell me what to do, mm-mmm

Do you read my interviews?

Arcos shock his head yes yes of course he read every paper his son was in! He wanted to know how well Lloyd was doing now, but Lloyd never looked him in the eye anymore spent years calling him “baron” and not father.

When you (when you) said you were passing through

Was I even on your way?

It was true that they had never been a close family but wasn’t it better now that Lloyd had stopped drinking ? Why did he still run away from them???

I knew when I asked you to (when I asked you to)

Be cool about what I was telling you

Arcos felt a rush of cold hit him. How often had Lloyd asked him to talk begged him not to be angry so he could explain.. how many times had he turned his own son away.

You'd do the opposite of what you said you'd do (what you said you'd do)

Arcos felt tears prick at his eyes, he had thought Lloyd had been mature in understanding that being a Baron was busy work but it had hurt him all the same. His eyes widened in shock was this what Lloyd was doing ? Avoiding him, preoccupying himself in so much work he’s have an excuse not to talk with them ?

And I'd end up more afraid

Javier clenched his fist, afraid of what? Whatever it was he would deal with it for Lloyd, he’d do anything for him.

Don't say it isn't fair

You clearly weren't aware that you made me miserable

The four stood there in silence, listening to Lloyds voice crack as he took a gasp of break. What, what have we done?

So if you really wanna know

Yes they wanted to know, Arcos needed to know how to make this right.

When I'm away from you (when I'm away from you)

I'm happier than ever (happier than ever)

Javier couldn’t stand it Lloyd couldn’t leave!

Wish I could explain it better (wish I could explain it better)

I wish it wasn't true (wish it wasn't true), mmm-mmm

Julien was enraged! What did Lloyd have to be upset about anyway! He was the one who became a raging drunk and left him to pick up all the pieces!

I call you again, drunk outta my head

Going home under the influence

Marabella smiled fondly there had been times Lloyd had made sure to reassure her after his drinking sprees. Telling her exactly where he was and acting good for his past escorts. But of course he had to go to far and start throwing fights. Sigh.

I don't relate to you

I don't relate to you, no

Arcos felt the pain in his chest twist, his apology hadn’t been enough had it.

'Cause I'd never treat me this shitty

You made me hate this city

Did Lloyd truly hate their home so much ? Is that why he need so much money and go on dangerous trips to other places did he want to leave so badly?

And I don't talk shit about you in the bar

Never told anyone anything bad

'Cause that shit's embarrassing, you were my everything

Julien and Javier were astonished enough at that. Why wouldn’t Lloyd especially if he was drunk? Was Lloyd even while angry still looking out for their house’s reputation?

And all that you did was make me fucking sad

Arcos cried he didn’t know he didn’t know

Why didn’t Lloyd say anything

So don't waste the time I don't have

And don't try to make me feel bad

Why didn’t Lloyd confined in any of them?!?

I could talk about every time that you showed up on time

But I'd have an empty line 'cause you never did

Oh because no one would have listened, no one would have taken his side. No one would have believed him

Never paid any mind to my servants or friends

So I shut 'em all out for you 'cause I was a kid

Arcos tried to stifle his tears, his oldest had only been a child. A child born a month too soon in a barony too poor to a mother without a drop of nobility to her name.

You ruined everything good

Always said you were misunderstood

Made all my moments your own

Just fucking leave me alone

Marabella begun to cry with her husband, Lloyd hates us doesn’t he?

I started drinking a month ago

Lloyd must of written this song years ago. Was this perhaps why he started drinking???

Your friends are mine, you know, I know

You've moved on, found someone new

Arcos shifted his feet, Lloyd couldn’t possibly be talking about him taking in Javier could he? He had heard other nobles hurl insults about him replacing his first born even how Javier was much better than his hooligan first born but he had waved it all alway, Javier needed him.

One more son who brings out the better in you

He was talking about him then the Baron couldn’t understand hadn’t her raised Lloyd to care for the less fortunate?

And I thought my heart was detached

From all the sunlight of our past

Marabella felt sick they had begun to ignore Lloyd when Julian and Javier came into their lives but they had only hoped it would serve to have Lloyd stop his awful behavior. She had never thought it would hurt him so badly. The baroness had assumed Lloyd was simply angry about the family changing, but he wasn’t he was heartbroken.

But he's so sweet, he's so kind

Does he mean you forgot about me?

Arcos hadn’t how could he when he was always worrying about him! He just didn’t have enough time but that was beginning to fall apart in his head after all he had made time for Julian and Javier hadn’t he?

Oh, I hope you're happy

But not like how you were with me

Javier leaned onto a nearby side-table, is this why Lloyd had been so cruel to him as children?

I'm selfish, I know, I can't let you go

So find someone great, but don't find no one better

I hope you're happy, but don't be happier

Arcos openly wept, “hush dear,” his wife patted his shoulder “we must see this threw to the end”

And do you tell him he's the most beautiful boy you've ever seen?

Yes the whole house had been very open with giving the children compliments, but when was the last time Lloyd had received one before changing?

When had anyone ever called Lloyd handsome?

An eternal love bullshit you know you'll never mean

Remember when I believed you meant it when you said it first to me?

Marabella collapsed in a chair next to her husband, “Arcos, Arcos when had been the last time we told Lloyd we loved him?”

And now I'm pickin' him apart

Javier understood how Lloyd would have been lashing out as a child now, how the both had been hating one another to look better in front of the Baron. But then why did Lloyd suddenly become close ? Why did he suddenly care for Javier? Perhaps he gave up on gaining familial love, burying the hatchet with Javier the only way he knew how, by not addressing the past at all.

Like cuttin' him down will make you miss my wretched heart

Julian began to understand, and he begun to feel badly for his brother but still he was just so angry at Lloyd !

They looked at each other as Lloyds song finished.

What were they going to do now? And as they pondered it they could hear Lloyd sniffling to himself, as if he was picking up the pieces after breaking down.

Then a whisper to three of them, a yell to Javier’s ears they heard Lloyd speak.

“Huh I guess I do fell a little better now! We should do this more often lolz! Goodnight Kim, I love you.”

…

Javier’s hand broke the side table, “Who the fuck is Kim????”
