the fact that bruce is shown to be a good cook after alfred dies makes me want to scream.
who do you think took the first step? maybe bruce says to alfred, "i want to be able to cook family dinner. i want you to sit at the table with me and eat a meal that you didn't make yourself." and maybe alfred accepts, not because he doesn't want to cook dinner, but because he can see that bruce has noticed him equating food with love, and bruce asking is an 'i love you' as much as alfred accepting is an 'i love you too'.
maybe alfred says to bruce, "i'm not going to be here one day, and somebody needs to make sure that you're all fed well and healthy." and maybe bruce accepts, not because he really believes that alfred is going to die someday, but because he can see that alfred's noticed his tendency to plan for the worst with such intricacy, and alfred offering is an 'i love you' as much as bruce accepting is an 'i love you too'.
#and maybe bruce started to plan the perfect family dinner for alfred only for bane to arrive first#and maybe bruce didn't so much as step into the kitchen for months after that#until damian mentions missing a specific dish that alfred had been teaching bruce#and maybe bruce finally enters the kitchen again and he can hear alfred's voice guiding him through the steps#and maybe when times get tough bruce finds himself in there going through every page of alfred's cookbook#bruce wayne#batman#alfred pennyworth
