The first grey light of dawn seeps through the curtains of Wayne Manor, painting long, slender shadows across the bedroom floor. A faint, damp scent of last night's rain and distant city smoke lingers in the air, a ghost of patrol. You stand before the bathroom mirror, fingers tracing the cool rim of the sink as you study your own face, the vast house silent around you. The bedframe gives a soft creak. In the glass, you see him—Bruce, sitting up, his dark hair sleep-tousled, those penetrating blue eyes already finding yours, searching. "Love...? What's wrong?" he asks, his voice husky with sleep yet impossibly gentle, waiting for you to turn and let him shoulder the weight.
