"You've done so much," Bruce says. His eyes are sharp, focused, the way they haven't been in months, and Dick can't quite breath because they're focused on him.
"Bruce…"
"For this family. For our friends. For me."
"Bruce, you know I'd -" Dick licks his lips, swallows. It's hard to say the words, even though they've been true for so long he can't remember a time when they weren't. "You know I'd do anything for you."
"Yes," Bruce says. He still hasn't shaved. They still haven't been downstairs, haven't looked at the Bat Computer, perfectly dusted as though it was only just used yesterday. They've been sitting in the living room while Dick pours his heart out about everything he's been up to with Spyral. He wanted to wait, let Bruce settle in - but as Bruce says, he's had months to settle.
"I know that," Bruce says. "But I wonder," he says, shifting almost imperceptibly on the couch, "if you know that I'd do the same for you."
"Of course I -" Dick starts, but Bruce looks at him and there's - heat. Heat like there was the last night he saw Bruce before he left, like when they pummeled each other to the floor of the Batcave and Bruce embraced him like -
He remembers the scent of Bruce's blood mixed in with sweat and cologne, remembers the adrenaline that pumped through his veins for hours afterward.
"Anything you wanted, Dick," Bruce says. "All you have to do is ask."
He shivers, because there are so many things - so many things he's never been able to ask. "I…"
"Dick," Bruce says. "Please tell me. You asked me before if I was happy. I know in this life we can't always hope for that but I can give you -"
Joy.
Dick's quiet for a minute. Bruce is still looking at him and it's making him dizzy, the way it did when he first came back and Bruce didn't know him, the way it used to when he was a stupid teenager desperate for Bruce's approval.
"Bruce," he says. "If I asked, would you kiss me?"
"Of course," Bruce says.
"Would you put your hands on me?"
"Yes," Bruce says, and his expression gets hotter, eyes raking all over him like his hands could be, and Dick wants that now, but -
"Bruce," Dick says. "If I asked, would you fuck me?"
He can't believe he's saying the words, almost takes them back, feels his face heating up just thinking about it - Bruce's huge hands on his, Bruce's body above his, Bruce's mouth -
Bruce touches him, runs one callused hand over his cheek so Dick will look back up at him. "Dick," he says. "Is that something you would ask of me?"
"Yes," Dick breathes out. "Bruce. Will you kiss me?"
Bruce drags him in without another word, gets his hand around the back of Dick's neck and brings him in. His mouth is soft and warm and his beard scratches against Dick's skin and Dick just melts into it, feels Bruce's hand in his hair, the other over his heart, and how many times have they almost died in front of each other but never done this.
"Bruce," Dick says against Bruce's mouth. "Upstairs. Please."
"Yes," Bruce agrees, dragging Dick to his feet along with him. Dick wobbles a little, head still spinning, and Bruce scoops him up like he doesn't weigh a thing.
Dick laughs, leans his forehead against Bruce's shoulder. "You good for this?" he asks Bruce. "You haven't been Batman in a while, old man."
"Oh," Bruce says, starting for the stairs. "Somehow I think I'll manage."

AUGH GOD, BRUCE

Ugh jesus fuck. *___*
BRUCE PICKING HIM UP. AHHH THAT IS MY FUCKING FAVORITE.
Okay okay this is fanTASTIC, you should know. And also, this kind of thing was exactly what I had in mind when I prompted this, Dick asking/telling Bruce what he wanted but being kind of hesitant/nervous about it so YAY FOR BRAINSHARES. :D
Thank you, darlingest. This was amaaaaaazing.
