@heartincinders a brow rose at the 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭 answer .

❛ christ , that’s a long time . if it
means anything , you’re great .

I haven’t felt an ounce of pain .
maybe you 𝘥𝘰 have magic in a
hand or two .❜

he let out a chuckle .

❛ I’m a retired football player ,
and renown actor .❜

[˙⋆ 𝗖𝗔𝗗𝗘 𝗪𝗔𝗟𝗞𝗘𝗥 ˙⋆✮ @forsalterare]

❝ .I’m having an issue with a
wound that doesn’t seem to

would you mind taking a look ?❞

he kept his hand over it —a
faint 𝙥𝙞𝙣𝙠 glow radiating frm
his palm .

[˙⋆ 𝗖𝗔𝗗𝗘 𝗪𝗔𝗟𝗞𝗘𝗥 ˙⋆✮ @forsalterare]

@heartincinders ❛ it would be —but it wouldn’t
scare me . I’d still let you take
care of me .

everyone has a start . can’t be
mad or fearful about that .❜

he chuckled , truly meaning the
random reassurance .

[˙⋆ 𝗖𝗔𝗗𝗘 𝗪𝗔𝗟𝗞𝗘𝗥 ˙⋆✮ @forsalterare]

❛ of course ya’ can . we have ta’
make a pit stop for your gift , n’
then we go to the farm? ❜

[˙⋆ 𝗖𝗔𝗗𝗘 𝗪𝗔𝗟𝗞𝗘𝗥 ˙⋆✮ @forsalterare]

❛ now you’re just pullin’ my chain .
I don’t believe for a 𝘴𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘥 that ya’

knowing Clark , he wasn’t lying to
him , but he wanted to test his . . .
knowledge a bit to see .

-&- 𝘮𝘢𝘺𝘣𝘦 fish for a compliment
or ten .

[‍ ‍ CLARK ‍ KENT @humanasanyone]

“I would hardly call your acclaimed resume struggling.” Clark chirped, head shaking as he laughed at him. Cade had luck on his side and a face card that never declined. How could he ever struggle with that?

❛ hey na’ , I am an 𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘴𝘵 who tends
ta’ do artistic things , which might

he pulled the keys from his pocket
-&- shook them . the many , many
keychains dangling .

he was happy Clark found him a lil’
amusing , for it was a gift of his .

[˙⋆ 𝗖𝗔𝗗𝗘 𝗪𝗔𝗟𝗞𝗘𝗥 ˙⋆✮ @forsalterare]

❛ but all jokes aside , I really
do appreciate the support .

it’s a bit jarring —the lack of
it within this industry , so I’d
have to say thank ya’ .❜

-&- then the laughter came .
who knew Bruce Wayne . . . .
just Bruce was funny?

he sure as hell didn’t .

❛ good one .❜

[˙⋆ 𝗖𝗔𝗗𝗘 𝗪𝗔𝗟𝗞𝗘𝗥 ˙⋆✮ @forsalterare]

he dramatically grasped his
chest —a display of 𝘞𝘛𝘍 all
over his visage .

playful in nature , of course .

❛ I happen to be the saintiest
person in the world .

I refuse t’ let’cha blackmail me ,
Bruce Wayne . . . just Bruce .❜

“Oh you have done some bad things, I’m sure of it . . but I’ll keep it to myself. I don’t want to ruin your lucky streak in the business.” A wink followed, Bruce being a bit cheeky and intentional with his response.

He had one heck of a secret himself, but would someone —

[˙⋆ 𝗖𝗔𝗗𝗘 𝗪𝗔𝗟𝗞𝗘𝗥 ˙⋆✮ @forsalterare]

truth be told , he wasn’t lying ,
bt he wasn’t supposed ta’ say
it out loud .

tryna ruin his street cred .
anyways —chuckle .

❛ having your praise is some
kind of necessity , huh?

is this the part where ya’ call
me the goodest boy? ❜

quipped playfully .

[˙⋆ 𝗖𝗔𝗗𝗘 𝗪𝗔𝗟𝗞𝗘𝗥 ˙⋆✮ @forsalterare]

❛ I know . . . it is pretty fancy .❜

a slight snickering sound as
his lips curved up to a small
smile ; mimicking th gesture
Clark made . 𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘭𝘦 brushing
of their noses .

his own hand finding Clark’s .

❛ y’know , you’re even cuter
up close .❜

[‍ ‍ CLARK ‍ KENT @humanasanyone]

“Fancy seein you here.” Clark purred, head inching forward to brush his nose against his. He liked when they got up close and personal. It felt so natural.

A hand fell to rest on his covered leg, wanting to let him know he liked their current distance between each other.

[˙⋆ 𝗖𝗔𝗗𝗘 𝗪𝗔𝗟𝗞𝗘𝗥 ˙⋆✮ @forsalterare]

Allen’s hand writing -&- sig.
must’ve been in a rush, for
it was kinda bad .

❛ here ya’ go . if I’m botherin’
ya, I can come back another
time . whatever’s easiest .❜

he held out the note .

[˙⋆ 𝗖𝗔𝗗𝗘 𝗪𝗔𝗟𝗞𝗘𝗥 ˙⋆✮ @forsalterare]

his eyes followed the other as
he climbed to his feet, though
they probably shouldn’t have .

a breach of privacy ?

obviously Cade watched with
narrowed eyes as Clark made
his way to the bed .

any excuse to lose the suit -&-
be all up in his mix .

𝘦𝘹𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘭𝘺 what he planned .

cue him walking around to get
in the bed, inching closer until
he was all up in Clark’s face .

[‍ ‍ CLARK ‍ KENT @humanasanyone]

He floated in the moment it became an option, using the cold as an excuse to crawl into bed to cuddle.

Of course not before he slid out of his uniform . . he didn’t want to track dirt or anything into his bed.

[˙⋆ 𝗖𝗔𝗗𝗘 𝗪𝗔𝗟𝗞𝗘𝗥 ˙⋆✮ @forsalterare]

@heartincinders ❛ so, how long have ya’ been
doin’ this? you have a talent .❜

a talent he was very grateful
for, given the circumstance .

❛ this a new thing for ya’? like
first day on the job or years? ❜

[˙⋆ 𝗖𝗔𝗗𝗘 𝗪𝗔𝗟𝗞𝗘𝗥 ˙⋆✮ @forsalterare]

@heartincinders ❛ I dunno how to draw myself .
it’s honestly a mystery I can’t
seem to crack .❜

he winced for dramatic effect
as he was prepared -&- then
poked by the needle .

❛ huh, a hand smooth as silk
is right . barely even felt it .❜

{>}

[˙⋆ 𝗖𝗔𝗗𝗘 𝗪𝗔𝗟𝗞𝗘𝗥 ˙⋆✮ @forsalterare]

❛well, spit me out and call me a
very disgusting drink . honored .❜

-&- he was, even with his off the
wall analogies .

❛ his honesty is adorable . it’s like
a vibrator you can’t turn off . feels
good, too .

kinda like you telling me your this
fan —a stretch, of my art .❜

[˙⋆ 𝗖𝗔𝗗𝗘 𝗪𝗔𝗟𝗞𝗘𝗥 ˙⋆✮ @forsalterare]

❛ we’re getting personal . that
tells me a , I’ve done a 𝘣𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘥
thing or b, refer to a .❜

that still wouldn’t stop him from
calling the fella Bruce .

❛ so Bruce Wayne, just Bruce is a
a fan of the arts 𝘢𝘯𝘥 my … record
setting talents? ❜

pause for effect .

[‍ ‍ 𝙶𝙾𝚃𝙷𝙰𝙼'𝚂 ‍ PRINCE @maskofvengeance]

“Please . . call me Bruce.” Mister Wayne always seems so formal anyway.

⠀ “I am a lover of the arts, of course I keep up. Plus you set quite a few records.” Luck was truly on his side, it was evident and he didn’t even need his pal to fill him in on that secret. Bruce has —

[˙⋆ 𝗖𝗔𝗗𝗘 𝗪𝗔𝗟𝗞𝗘𝗥 ˙⋆✮ @forsalterare]

he should’ve kept it a secret,
but he was in the 𝘮𝘰𝘰𝘥 to dip,
-&- to save himself the foood
poisoning .

also a home cooked meal? so
much better than salad .

❛ I’m around the corner . by a
bench underneath a tree .

ya’ know parking lots confuse
me . too many lines .❜

[˙⋆ 𝗖𝗔𝗗𝗘 𝗪𝗔𝗟𝗞𝗘𝗥 ˙⋆✮ @forsalterare]

❛ well, I don’t have any money .
haven’t you heard … ive been a
struggling actor for years na’ .❜

obviously joking to keep their

forever if they’d let it .

true comfort .
homey even .

[‍ ‍ CLARK ‍ KENT @humanasanyone]

“Only if the price is right.” He quipped back, shooting him a wink at their playful banter. There were very few people on this earth Clark actually felt comfortable enough with to joke around so freely with. Cade was one of them.

⠀ “You mean to tell me you have —

[˙⋆ 𝗖𝗔𝗗𝗘 𝗪𝗔𝗟𝗞𝗘𝗥 ˙⋆✮ @forsalterare]

a nervous reaction from Cade
when the question came . his
hand finding comfort against
the nape of his neck .

❛ yeah . I know I’m a bit of a …
𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘣𝘦𝘳 . but I wanted it to be a
thing —like a special thing .

to make up for my … absence .❜
