    Summary

    He’s just looking at him, so tenderly, so open. Bruce forces himself to meet the gaze, not sure what’s reflecting in his eyes. He hopes that whatever Clark can see in them is enough to keep him there.

    “I’m not going to press,” Clark says, which at least isn’t him leaving. “If you don’t want this, that’s okay.”

    This isn’t how it’s supposed to go. There is supposed to be a profound coming together. Clark is waiting and Bruce doesn’t know how to get there.

    (Or Bruce needs some courage and a little nudge to get there and Clark is patient and unwavering.)

    Summary

    Clark swallows, then takes a tentative step forward, then another. Soon, he’s standing right in front of it, his heart pounding in his chest.

    He takes a breath, then looks into the crib.

    His stomach drops again.

    “Oh.”

    “I’m so sorry,” Lena says quietly. Her voice shakes a little.

    Clark doesn’t reply. His eyes are locked on what’s in the crib, taking in the round cheeks, the small fists, the thick, dark hair.

    He doesn’t need to breathe, technically, but he feels like all the oxygen in his lungs has been stolen anyway.

    After what feels like an eternity, they scrunch up their face, wiggle a little, yawn, and then slowly open their eyes.

    Blue.

    Bright, otherworldly blue eyes, just like his own, stare back at him.

    Summary

    Ben gently lowers him on the bed and moves to leave. Johnny makes a mortifying sound and shoots an arm out to hold him in place.

    “Johnny,” Ben whispers. “I’m gonna go get Reed, ok?”

    “Nooo…” Johnny whines. Even if it wouldn’t be absolutely mortifying for Reed to see him this way, he thinks he might die if Ben’s warmed-up skin doesn’t stay pressed to his neck.

    “He’ll make you feel better,” Ben insists.”

    “You feel better,” Johnny whispers. Ben stiffens then relaxes in his grasp.

    “Alright,” Ben sighs out. Johnny feels Ben’s weight settle next to him in bed. He sighs in contentment as Ben’s large hand settles gingerly onto his aching head. The combined pressure and heat is starting to ease the pounding. “But we’re getting you some painkillers first thing in the morning.”

    “You’re not my dad,” Johnny mumbles. He falls asleep to the rumble of Ben’s gentle chuckles.
