Was always worried about the angst of unrequited love, had never realized the sheer amount of comedic potential that it has.

Imagine one-sided Superbat where Clark is fully aware that Bruce has a crush on him but is being his repressed self about it, and Clark is just like, “I’m not gonna touch that :) you’re going to figure that out for yourself, buddy, and in the meantime, I’m just going to have a good time and be best friends with you as you inevitably pull yourself together enough to either fall out of love or to confess :) and I’ll just let you down gently because I care about you :)” but he absolutely 100% is using it to his advantage in the meantime. His puppy dog eyes had never been so effective before. He’s gotten out of Monitor Duty three times in the past month.

#altho tbh personally if *I* were writing this all out I WOULD make requited superabt endgame #because it’s more fun #like clark is slowly falling in love with bruce while bruce is slowly coming to terms with being in love with clark #like bruce fell both faster and harder because. have u seen clark. who wouldn’t fold #meanwhile the justice league tease the shit out of bruce #and i picture clark as being a hell of a good actor because he HAS to be for his identity to work even more so than bruce or anyone else #so he’s very much able to keep his own feelings quiet when he realizes that he’s returning bruce’s love #and hey maybe u CAN bring the angst full circle back into this premise #like 1) clark believes somehow that people will inevitably fall out of love w him and that includes bruce #and 2) bruce when he finally figures out his own feelings for clark (way later than everyone else figured out him) probs realizes that clark #knew this whole damn time and didn’t say a word. and bruce is both justifiably mortified and falsely certain that clark does not return his #feelings because he’d have said smth by now if he did #even tho atp i would have clark return his feelings #also if u don’t believe clark wouldn’t 100% be a little shit about bruce’s feelings may i just present #literally everything he’s done to lois ever in every superman canon ever #<- i’m not saying that like he bullies lois or would bully bruce in this fic premise bc they both give it as good as they’ve got #and they very much pull a lot over clark so it all evens out or even falls in the other’s favor more often than not #anyway. yeah that’s my one (1) superbat fic premise.#part of the reason why i LOOOVE superbat and clois but haven’t written jackshit for either of them yet is that #i feel like there’s sooooooo many fics for both of them that i could not explore smth new with them ykwim #er well in the case of lois not just fics but like sooo many clois canons with their own takes and exploratons #superbat #superman #clark kent #batman #bruce wayne #simu's two cents #dc #also i wouldn’t touch the batkids with a ten foot pole.
