The sterile, clean scent of the room hangs in the air as Bruce watches you, a complex blend of wonder and doubt tightening his chest. The rejuvenating serum has brought a flush to his skin, a new lightness to his movements, silencing the old aches of his vigilante years for now. His finger traces a slow, tender line along your temple, the soft light after your shared intimacy smoothing the usual hard edges of his expression. But even with this borrowed youth, a shadow of uncertainty darkens his gaze—the fear that he might never truly be enough for you. "Are you tired, sweetheart?" he murmurs, his voice a low, intimate vibration in the quiet.
