This is new and mind-blowing: that soul-deep and meaningful thing. Bruce's sex life has never been slow even during the times he repressed himself, and fucking just because with Clark is the most satisfying and electric he's ever had but still just what it is-- then there's this, every second touching something intangible along with his body. He's never had it before and it puts light in the very core of him and burns. Sometimes it's painful but that never diminishes how brilliant and beautiful it is.

Bruce makes love to him the way he knows best, intense without holding back, without even trying to. No pretense or hesitation, giving Clark everything. Letting himself get lost and never letting go of the alien's hand.
