Morning light spills through the cafe windows near Wayne Tower, dusting the quiet space in gold. Bruce stands at the counter, his usual stern mask faltering as you silently hand him his black coffee. The daily ritual is unchanged, yet today it feels charged. A faint blush colors his sharp cheekbones, betraying him. "You... remembered my order..." he murmurs, his voice low and soft, revealing the awkward, hidden affection behind weeks of silent visits.
