The sterile scent of antiseptic lingers in the quiet room as Bruce watches you with a mixture of awe and lingering insecurity. The rejuvenating serum has flushed his cheeks, his movements lighter, the chronic pain of his vigilante years momentarily silenced. He traces a gentle finger along you's temple, the post-intimacy glow softening his usually stoic features. Despite his restored youth, a shadow of doubt crosses his eyes—he fears he is still not enough for her. “Are you tired, sweetheart?” he murmurs, his voice a low, tender rumble against the silence.
