for frightening: To Infinity and... just a little beyond that

[stands_for_hope]

Generally, when it came to interstellar politics, the first name called up among the Justice League (for good or ill) was Green Lantern. And when the request for arbitration came to them from a distant planet, they'd initially suggested the Corps to do the job. That, unfortunately, had started a political fiasco of its own at first, given some less than savory behavior from the Guardians regarding the planet in question in the recent past, but thankfully Diana had been able to smooth the ruffled feathers and propose a solution.

That was why Superman, well known throughout the stars and the last survivor of a planet many considered to have gotten a similarly questionable shake from Oa, had been asked to take on the mission. Given the distance and the unfortunate tendency for situations like this to be a trap of some sort, it had been decided he'd need a partner and Batman had been, in Diana's words, 'the obvious choice.'

Of course, Bruce Wayne's capability to deal with and even carefully handle politicians was well known to her, as was his ability to smell a rat at 100 paces should there be something underhanded afoot. Then there was simply the logistics: Gotham had decent coverage with Batwoman and others, and with Superman off for a week, Diana was needed to handle whatever might happen in Metropolis.

Which was why, after a bit of discussion (just a bit), Clark and Bruce were on their way to Voepra Prime on what was more likely than not going to be a PR vacation.

"Sap." Accusatory, but his head is slightly ducked, hiding how touched he feels at Clark telling him flowery things like that. He kisses the other man down his jaw and throat, slow and sensual, not willing to spend any moment of his recovery time doing anything but luxuriating in his lover's skin. They're both a mess but Bruce doesn't twitch away from any of it; he can revert to fastidiousness later, as they aren't done yet.

Bruce spends his time tracing his hands down Clark's chest, slipping himself lower, placing more kisses on his hipbone and lower, his mouth and tongue as teasing as it is erotic. And when he's feeling up (hah) to it, he straddles the other man's hips and instructs him to put his hands over his head and leave them there. It's not permanent-- this is playful, and quite obviously Clark will never actually be restrained, but he'd like to see how long Clark can hold still while Bruce prepares himself and then sinks down onto his cock. He tips his head back. Fuck.

Clark smiles at the accusation, and at the little duck of his head. Then his eyes are closing as leans back to let Bruce kiss him, tease him, love him with a poetry of his own. As Bruce goes lower, he groans, shifting at the intensity of sensation and there is not a power in the universe that could make him move his hands from behind his head. Not when Bruce is being so unrestrained in his affections, not when he has the most gorgeously erotic view he's ever had. And Rao help him, he's almost shaking as Bruce seats himself. He can't hold still, though; Bruce can certainly feel it as his hips rock unconsciously a few moments after Bruce takes him in.

"You feel so good," slips out of him like a moan. His eyes slip open and he gives Bruce a smile. "Lucky for your balance too."

The cot IS small, after all.

Bruce shakes his hair out of his eyes and stretches his spine, settling, sighing at the feeling-- so intense in this position. He looks down at Clark and his expression is almost a smirk. Yes, they're lucky for quite a lot. He's not going to tip off.

Probably.

It's slower this time; Bruce draws it out, teasing reactions, daring Clark silently to move his hands and grab him instead of letting Bruce dictate every moment.

If you asked Clark, he'd say that he'd reached out because he thought that Bruce might, possibly, wobble in the intensity of the sensation. That was entirely why he reached out with one hand and spread his palm against Bruce's abdomen as the other slid up his side, settled at the hip. That was definitely why the touch was reverent and needing and almost desperate and why he actually let out a gasp of relief as he finally got his hand on Bruce's skin. As soon as he can, he answers that almost smirk with a definite grin.

[frightening]

Bruce isn't fooled, but he's too deep in sensation to give a damn. As soon as Clark folds the game is over, and he exhales a low noise that betrays just how much of his composure has been acting. Nothing, no one, has ever felt like Clark. Will ever. Bruce knows he'll never take another lover-- how could he? Even if Clark comes to his senses, even if something happens to one or both of them, he's been ruined for love and sex with anyone else. He can't go back, and doesn't want to. Please never leave me.

The hand on his abdomen curls just a little. The one at his side is molded there, moving with him, not slipping an inch. He can't hear the thoughts in Bruce's head or the desperate plea in his heart. What he can do is feel it, feel that change, that raw honesty thrumming beneath his fingers. And those fingers tighten just the smallest, most significant bit.

Mine.

As a heart beating, as a soul fills a body, as a mind fills with thought and emotion and imagination. Of all the things Clark is, 'fickle' doesn't make the list and his heart least of all. He'd come to Bruce that night with the ingredients for curry in his bag, a pie in a box, and his heart in his hand. And now, here they were.

He couldn't regret any of it.

[frightening]

Oh. God. Bruce ends up pitched forward more, one hand braced beside Clark's head. He lets himself go and it's obvious-- he gives himself over to feeling, experiencing, being with Clark. Bruce loves sex, he really does, and sex with the love of his life is actually mind-blowing. Especially in round two.

After, he's practically puddle.

[stands_for_hope]

The hand that'd been at his abdomen turns to wrap around Bruce's cock. The other one slides up to get into his hair, drag him down for a wild, desperate kiss until they're both a damn puddle. Clark's arms wrap around the other man because gravity just happens to be content to leave them alone there and the only real movement from him is a soft nuzzle and a few sweet kisses. Just a few.
