BEFORE HE FELL; could it be love
♡ ̆̈✧˚ ⋆｡˚BRUCE WAYNE was a man of pure mystery. an enigmatic combination of wealth, excellence, and eloquence personified. it came as a shock to everyone (including yourself) when you, the socialite known for being carefree and letting loose, found yourself in the frequently close company of bruce wayne.
♡ ̆̈✧˚ ⋆｡˚the way you guys met was something purely comical. it was in the midst of a social event you found yourself attending with a business partner of yours, a night full of networking and socializing that left you exhausted. you were reaching for your fourth champagne flute of the night when you bumped into a man whose chest felt as though it was seemingly made of bricks, sending the fizzy liquid all across the front of your dress. you two opened your mouths to apologize at the same time, talking over each other in a way that made you laugh wholeheartedly.
♡ ̆̈✧˚ ⋆｡˚it was after that night that bruce learned your name and “mysteriously” appeared at the management building of the company your father owned, inviting you to coffee with him during your lunch break.
♡ ̆̈✧˚ ⋆｡˚your friendship quickly blossomed from there. you two provided a safe and judgement free place for one another. bruce relished in the way you brought out a side of him that he felt he had to keep tucked away in order to pursue his double life; you accepted him for who he was and didn’t hold him to any obscene expectation. he was just bruce. similarly, you appreciated the way bruce took you and your thoughts seriously. he was always willing to listen to you and give feedback—no matter how silly the situation may be
♡ ̆̈✧˚ ⋆｡˚your mutualistic dynamic that relied primarily on you guys’ ability to listen to each other, met many late night conversations either at hole-in-the-wall restaurants where you wouldn’t be spotted or through phone calls whenever bruce was free
♡ ̆̈✧˚ ⋆｡˚as friends, bruce kept the bridge between you and his secret life far and strong. not because he didn’t trust you or care about you, but because he wanted to keep both of you safe and he didn’t want your perception of him to change
♡ ̆̈✧˚ ⋆｡˚this meant accepting that for large portions of the day you wouldn’t hear from him and learning to not ask questions when he disappears for days at a time and tiredly responds with “just a business trip” when you ask where he’s been
♡ ̆̈✧˚ ⋆｡˚being friends with him also means becoming acquainted with alfred. after your first few visits to the manor you quickly assume the role of being alfred’s taste tester for any desserts he makes. it isn’t long before bruce begins bringing you a new tray of scones or brownies whenever he sees you, each container labeled with a sticky note from alfred (though he’d never admit it, bruce began asking alfred for the recipes of your favorites and learning to make them himself)
♡ ̆̈✧˚ ⋆｡˚in all, bruce thoroughly enjoys having you around and although he tries his best to keep you at arms length, there’s no avoiding how naturally you fit into his life
♡ ̆̈✧˚ ⋆｡˚it’s shy of a year into your friendship that he decides there’s no avoiding the fact that he has feelings for you. and he can tell that you’re realizing something similar
♡ ̆̈✧˚ ⋆｡˚it’s in the way he catches himself staring at you in a new light as you ramble on about some gossip you heard from your secretary. all of a sudden he’s noticing the way your smile lines crinkle when you speak, the way you use your hands to emphasize your words when you’re passionate about something, the subtle redness the dresses your cheeks whenever he makes a teasing comment, or the way you smile with all of your teeth when he recalls something you’d mentioned days prior——he’s a goner!
♡ ̆̈✧˚ ⋆｡˚the back and forth with his emotions leaves him feeling like a lovesick teenager
♡ ̆̈✧˚ ⋆｡˚it takes a month and a half before he finally confesses. it isn’t in a ceremonial manner like he feels you deserved, but instead it happens organically
♡ ̆̈✧˚ ⋆｡˚you’re laying flush against him on the couch in front of his grand fireplace when he finds himself lost in the beauty of your face glowing in the partially lit room. the words fall out of his mouth instantly—in a speech worded so beautifully that you don’t even let him finish before you kiss to shut him up.
♡ ̆̈✧˚ ⋆｡˚BRUCE WAYNE is everything you’ve ever dreamed of in a boyfriend
♡ ̆̈✧˚ ⋆｡˚he was attentive, caring and did his best to make time for you two despite his busy schedule
♡ ̆̈✧˚ ⋆｡˚100% the boyfriend who plans every date and insures you never have to worry about a single thing in preparation. he spares no expense in buying you an outfit for the occasion, picking you up in his nicest vehicle, and of course handling the hefty bill for whatever excursion you find yourself on
♡ ̆̈✧˚ ⋆｡˚he tries his best to keep your relationship out of the spotlight, but definitely doesn’t attempt to hide you. however, it doesn’t require a flashy introduction as a couple for it to become known. people talk and every member of your high society inner circle had been waiting for you two to finally figure out the obvious feelings you shared
♡ ̆̈✧˚ ⋆｡˚he’s definitely the kind of boyfriend that sends you frequent texts asking “have you ate today?” or “have you drank water today? i told you living off of coffee and energy drinks isn’t sustainable.” of course your response each time he asks is unsatisfactory so you become used to receiving deliveries of your favorite takeout to your office on busy days, a new stanley tumbler in your favorite color to encourage a higher water intake, and a fridge full of meal prep courtesy of alfred
♡ ̆̈✧˚ ⋆｡˚i see bruce getting along perfectly in a yapper x listener bf dynamic. you love to fill him in on the whirlwind of drama that unfolds in your office and he loves nothing more than listening to your sweet voice while he works. you can’t count the amount of times you’ve been sat in his lap, going on and on about something your coworker told you, while bruce finished up paperwork at his desk. drumming his finger against your hip as he did so. you’d get bashful all of sudden, stopping to ask him if he was still listening (you never wanted to annoy him), to which he’d respond with a soft hum or “of course darling”
♡ ̆̈✧˚ ⋆｡˚being bruce’s partner meant breaking down more of that tough exterior and seeing the side of him he felt was better kept hidden. you had already broken through as his close friend, but it becomes more apparent in your relationship. trust is something that bruce values highly in his romantic relationships. and with everything you do, even in the mundane things, bruce realizes that you’re beyond deserving of his trust and willing to be his confidant
♡ ̆̈✧˚ ⋆｡˚because of this, it’s during this early chapter of your romance that bruce reveals his double life to you. much to his appreciation, you don’t make a fuss about it and instead confess how much it means to you that he felt comfortable sharing something of that nature with him. this of course results in a long makeout session
♡ ̆̈✧˚ ⋆｡˚on the topic of trust and kisses, i feel that you guys wouldn’t have sex until you’re a few months into your relationship. bruce views sex with you as the ultimate display of intimacy and affection. he doesn’t want to fuck you, he wants to make love to you. his touch isn’t fast or rough, but rather slow and intentional. he wants his love for you to show through everything that he does.
♡ ̆̈✧˚ ⋆｡˚bruce is also a protective boyfriend. not in a toxic or controlling way, but in a “i just want you to be safe” way. you guys share locations, you never forget to update him whenever you go out alone or when you make it home on late nights, and he also is sure to set up your home with the best security system the city offers. he isn’t smothering you, but he couldn’t imagine you getting hurt in his absence. you don’t mind it, you can tell it’s his way of showing how much he cares
♡ ̆̈✧˚ ⋆｡˚In all, bruce wayne is a beautiful boyfriend towards you that’s wants nothing more than what’s best for you!
A PROMISE OF FOREVER; an undeniable love
♡ ̆̈✧˚ ⋆｡˚BRUCE WAYNE had never been more nervous in his life. and that wasn’t an exaggeration or overstatement. in fact, it may very well be an understatement
♡ ̆̈✧˚ ⋆｡˚the usual calm and relaxed expression that graced his face whenever he was in your presence was gone. instead, it was replaced with furrowed brows and a nervous heat that rose up the back of his neck and dusted his face with a light blush. he swears he even felt a bead of sweat trickle down his forehead
♡ ̆̈✧˚ ⋆｡˚he followed close behind you, his pinky finger interlinked with yours as though he was making a promise, as you led him across a beach in santorini. it was a sight to behold. your hair was blown about by the evening breeze, the hem of your dress dragging across the white sand, and your voice echoing slightly due to the emptiness of the beach (thanks to bruce pulling a few strings). you were blissfully unaware of what was about to unfold
♡ ̆̈✧˚ ⋆｡˚suddenly, bruce stopped in his tracks. you followed suit and turned to face him with a playfully quizzical look. “what are you up to, hun?” you asked. without a word, bruce dropped to his left knee and took your hand in his.
♡ ̆̈✧˚ ⋆｡˚ “For the past few years, I’ve had the honor of experiencing something I never thought life had in store for me. I’ve learned what it feels like to be truly loved, cared for, and appreciated—even during the hardest moments, when I didn’t feel worthy of it,” he pauses to take in your awestruck smile, “You’ve been my safe place, my rock, for as long as I’ve been blessed to know you. I honestly can’t imagine a world where you’re not by my side, keeping me grounded, strong, and hopeful. I want to spend the rest of my life loving you, and being loved by you.” he finishes his speech with a hopeful laugh as he reaches into his pocket to pull out your ring. “so, will you marry me?”
♡ ̆̈✧˚ ⋆｡˚you shouted yes so loud that you’re sure the entire ocean could hear you.
IN SICKNESS AND IN HEALTH; forever in love
♡ ̆̈✧˚ ⋆｡˚BRUCE WAYNE as your husband exceeds any and all expectations
♡ ̆̈✧˚ ⋆｡˚shortly after your engagement you moved into his lavish manor and he wasted no time making it as welcoming as possible. ordering the skin care/hygiene items he knew you loved in bulk so that your shared bathroom was always stocked, giving you your own walk-in closet to accommodate your spending habits, and allowing you to decorate as you pleased
♡ ̆̈✧˚ ⋆｡˚you two fell into the domestic life fairly smoothly
♡ ̆̈✧˚ ⋆｡˚it felt as though it was second nature for you two to have your lives so closely intertwined.
♡ ̆̈✧˚ ⋆｡˚he’s definitely the type of husband that shows his loves through acts of service. you don’t even have to say anything before you notice the once empty bottle of your favorite perfume is replaced, or when you realize that the bookshelf in your shared bedroom is suddenly filled with the rest of a series you’d been meaning to finish. you bring it up to him and he’ll downplay it, shrugging and simply telling you that all that matters to him is that you’re happy.
♡ ̆̈✧˚ ⋆｡˚it became routine for you to wake up to light kisses across your jawline before he left the warmth of your bed in the early hours of the morning, hug & kiss him goodbye before you leave to run errands around lunchtime, and share a late night dinner by candlelight when he was finally relieved from his duties
♡ ̆̈✧˚ ⋆｡˚it may not be perfect for everyone, but it worked for you two and bruce loved how perfectly things flowed with you
♡ ̆̈✧˚ ⋆｡˚i imagine bruce to be a D1 pillow talker, especially in you guys’ honeymoon stage
♡ ̆̈✧˚ ⋆｡˚he’s looking at you with the softest expression ever as he admires your features in the moonlight shifting through the windows. you reach your hand up to caress his cheek, rubbing your thumb back and forth against his stubble. he rests his hand on top of yours before whispering, “i’m so damn glad you spilled that drink”
