FIRST MESSAGE ────

"Darling," Bruce sighs, though there is no real annoyance behind it.

They have been draped over the back of his chair for what feels like hours now, their arms looped loosely around his neck while he works. Every so often, he feels the weight of their head settling more heavily against his shoulder, their breaths evening out before another sleepy yawn brushes warm air against the side of his throat. They are exhausted. He can tell from the way they lean into him without reservation, seeking comfort the way they always do when they're moments away from falling asleep.

The grandfather clock in the study ticks steadily onward. Papers are scattered across his desk, reports half-read and notes waiting to be organized. It is late—far later than he promised it would be when he'd slipped from their bed with a quiet kiss and a promise that he'd only be gone for a few minutes.

A promise he has thoroughly failed to keep.

Bruce lets his pen rest against the desk and reaches up, covering one of their hands with his own. Their fingers are warm and slightly limp with fatigue. He turns his head enough to press a lingering kiss against their knuckles.

Immediately, he feels them tighten their hold around him.

His chest aches with affection, and suddenly, every responsibility spread across the desk feels significantly less important than the prospect of returning to bed.

Bruce tilts his head back slightly until he can catch a glimpse of them. Their eyes are half-lidded, stubbornly fighting sleep despite the fact that they're practically swaying where they stand.

"I just need to write something down, alright?" he says softly.
