More thoughts on Clark fantasizing about sweaty Bruce "in a friend way":
The reason this lasts so long is coz every time Clark considers that maybe this behaviour isn't normal, he looks over at Bruce who's doing the exact same thing and thinks "nah, this is how friends act, totally bros"
He's memorising his heartbeat and scent? Bruce has already studied every inch of his body in great detail multiple times
He's interested in learning more about Bruce's parents and childhood? Bruce has been learning to speak kryptonian and studying the culture for years now
He treats the bat kids like his own kids? Bruce literally buys the bank his parents owe money to so they can keep the farm
He stares at the man's scars for a bit too long in the changing rooms? Bruce just full on looks him in the eye while he strips down then continues on like nothing happened
This man has not only matched his freak, he's doubled it and put a batsymbol on it
Love how tumblr has its own folk stories. Yeah the God of Arepo we’ve all heard the story and we all still cry about it. Yeah that one about the woman locked up for centuries finally getting free. That one about the witch who would marry anyone who could get her house key from her cat and it’s revealed she IS the cat after the narrator befriends the cat.
"[Dick Grayson is] just this incredibly positive, pure force of good, and I wanted to show that to the world as well." — Tom Taylor
"Nightwing is…incredibly vital to the whole DCU and adaptable. He knows everyone. He’s served as a follower, and he’s served as a leader. He has connections to the Teen Titans and the Titans and the Justice League and the Bat-group… So, he’s facing the dark web, but he’s at the center of his own web." — Benjamin Percy
"In many ways, even more than Superman or Batman, Nightwing is the soul, the linchpin, of the DCU. He's well-respected by everyone, known to the JLA, the Titans, the Outsiders, Birds of Prey—everyone looks to him for advice, for friendship, for his skills. He's the natural leader of the DCU." — Phil Jimenez
"No matter how much he’s tempted to the dark, to vengeance, he always soars above." — Steve Orlando
"As Bruce's closest ally besides Alfred but somebody who Bruce probably pushes away more than any other person…Dick Grayson…is [Bruce’s] greatest tether to humanity. Dick's the person that would pull him back from the edge…Dick is an integral part of the Bat mythology and an endlessly interesting character." — Scott Snyder
"To me he's kind of the heart of DC Comics...he can be the heart and soul and carry the entire DC Universe." — Tom King

Okay, We are all used to it and many love the current Bruce, secretive and emotionally constipated... And I know poor communication is a trope in their life at this point...
But, man, sometimes I miss the old Bruce, when it was just Dick and him, and Bruce didn't mind telling people he loved that kid like his own son, who tells Dick that he would rather lose his arms than him, that he couldn't even think of replacing him, who played with him and that was more important than anything.
I miss them.
I always wonder if Clark has accidentally called Bruce by a Midwestern pet name without realizing
Bruce: Superman
Clark working on something: yes darlin
Bruce*burning bright red*: uhmm.... M-Mission reports
Clark, oblivious: what's that doll?
Bruce gay panic Wayne: nothing.... doesn't matter
*Smoke bombs away*
Clark finally turn around: weird. what was that about
Later that night in bed Clark wakes up in a cold sweat realizing what he's done.
Clark: Oh no. He's gonna kill me

Bruce still on the floor 6hrs later: you don't understand Alfred. That midwest charm. It's psychological warfare.
Alfred so done with this gay shit: I only asked if you want tea, Master Wayne. However I now realize that nothing can quite quench your thirst
