The fact that Clark was frantic and needed like this wasn't exactly something Bruce relished, but it was something he understood. It certainly wasn't something he feared.

It was something that turned him on, even while he realized it was a symptom of Clark very much not being okay.

He went with the pull, caught himself against Clark's shoulders leaned in to kiss him - hot and heavy and hard. "Only if you get my pants off first." That should be easy enough for Clark.

Then they could get back to this plan and, for all the remark, there wasn't really any reserve there. He wasn't scared of Clark and Clark had had him for years, anyway.
