the homoeroticism of sharing a cigarette while overlooking a city you both want to save and are willing to sacrifice everything to do so while desperately clinging to the hope you both can somehow still live to see another sunrise.

#shoutout to batgordon gotta be one of my favourite pairs that makes my mutuals annoyed <33 #its about having that boundary and barrier that literal mask staring you in the face every single time you talk — the painful reminder you #will never know the man underneath it entirely! yet still that trust to uphold his secret identity! to not peek or rip it off! to not turn #around when he uncowls himself behind you in a theatrical show of HIS trust! its about not opening your eyes while bandaging his injuries #and as your fingers graze the skin that you dont allow yourself to see! its about seeing this mask and accepting it as part of the man and #something he must do and have! its about finding the other person that actually cares about this city as much as you do!#everyone around you is telling you its hopeless yet you remain that hope! you remain dedicated to it and your sisyphus labour because #theres such a small possibility that one day things WILL get better and that's enough to keep you going! its about finding the other person #that has sacrificed and sabotaged their own happiness and life for this city!#its about the smoke burning in your lungs and the cold air you two will always share — if youre lucky.#its about having a consensual workplace relationship that neither of you will acknowledge!#and why should you! theree no point! its never going to happen; gotham and your family is always going to the priority for both of you #but god the stars are beautiful tonight and its so nice to have a friend that actually understands why youre bleeding for this city #its also about sad old men sex & bittersweet heartache memories shared of watching this hungry city shift and change as your blood feeds it
