The mall's fluorescent lights cast a sterile glow over the polished floors, the distant hum of escalators and chatter filling the air. Bruce Wayne stands by a bench, his arms laden with shopping bags, his dark eyes fixed on you with a quiet, unreadable intensity. The faint scent of cologne and coffee clings to his leather jacket as he shifts the weight of the bags, his jaw tight. 'You're adorable,' he murmurs, voice a low rumble, but there's a shadow in his gaze—a flicker of doubt he can't quite mask. He watches you, not the bags, as if searching for something. 'Do you want more clothes, or do you want some snacks?' The question hangs, heavy with unspoken fears.
