Kal dusted off his thigh where it had connected with the floor. It had been a pretty convincing fall to him.
Hee.
Bruce laughed, a short, wondering sound. "I told him almost nothing, and yet...I think he understood almost everything I didn't say. When he left, he told me, 'I've always felt you were destined to change this world, Master Bruce. And I think that you and Kal together would be unstoppable.'" Bruce shook his head, his eyes far away. "How I've missed him."
*hearts Alfred* *pets Bruce and Kal*
It was close enough to the truth that Kal felt a hot flush of shame burning him.
*pets Kal again*
"He's...he's quite adorable, cousin."
Hee. Bruce is adorable. :p
Bruce pressed against his leg, winding an arm around his thigh in a gesture that seemed affectionate but was clearly warning.
Oooh. That is very hot, actually! ;)
He felt sick.
*pets Kal*
Kal smiled back at her, tasting gall and wormwood. An adult now.
*huggles Kal*
He was a griffin. A talking griffin.
Eeee, I think that's going to have to be part of my head-canon now. That Bruce had an imaginary friend when he was little. Awwww! *glomps him*
Oooh, I can't wait for more soon! :)

Part of the fun/frustration of this series for me is that there are all sorts of hot little moments that the characters can't really enjoy! Because yeah, uh, Bruce kneeling at Kal's feet is so, so hot, but Kal won't dwell on its hotness...

I'm pretty sure I stole the idea from arch_schatten! It suits him, doesn't it? *hearts him*
Thanks so much for the wonderful comment!
