You end up with a lot of weird feelings the longer you stay here.
( taking him into the expansive and next to never used kitchen, he goes to the oven and pulls out the casserole dish, setting it down on the island counter with a fork gently placed atop it. )
A hundred and eighty-one days so far, give or take.
( that clark has been here. not that he's keeping count or anything. )
( oh, it's not for him. he pushes the dish towards clark. he invited him over to eat this. at the mention of lois, however, there's something there in his eyes that could be taken as a gentle sort of longing before he's looking down at the counter for a moment β giving himself a second to push it all down. )
( lucky for clark, there's another fork there and after clark goes and helps himself to some, he does the same, though by no means as hefty of a helping as the kryptonian takes. also. some people have to mind what they eat, superman. )
( unable to help himself, he huffs a little. amused. just barely the touch of a smile shown as he stabs at the casserole a little. itβs really not anything he eats, but. he tookβ¦ two bites. )

Maybe I won't invite you over on my birthday next year.
( and ding. there goes the elevator, pulling the doors open for them, bruce walking out, hands still in his pockets. )
no subject
[ :O ]
Bruce, is it your birthday?
no subject
Second one spent here.

[The kitchen is undoubtedly better than Clark's. But can Bruce make casseroles in it?]
At least you've got good company.

Time flies.
[It doesn't really feel that long.]
It's probably easier for me than some. I've had Lois with me from the start.
[And Jon, yes, but Lois has known him outside of this world.]
no subject
Don't screw it up.
no subject
[That's okay though. They'll work through any screwups. They're committed enough for that.
He does take the fork, but.]
I can't just eat casserole in front of you on your birthday. It's meant to be shared.
no subject
( dryly said. sorry, clark. that's just his sense of humor. )

no subject
Are you going to eat it or not?
no subject
[Right out of the dish, like a savage. Or a college student. He loads up a fork and takes a bite.]
Good stuff.
no subject
You didn't bring me a present.
no subject
Well, I didn't know it was your birthday.
[He is somewhat mollified by the sharing of casserole.]
Although Lois and I both missed her birthday a few months ago, so maybe I'm just not great with birthdays here.
no subject
( just looking out for you, clark. already forgot the girlfriend's. )
no subject
[The calendar here doesn't match the one they know but that doesn't matter when it comes to kids.]
no subject
Try not to forget.
( dick's is next month even though. well. their relationship is a little different than what he has had with jason and damian. )
Maybe you can make a casserole. Since it's wet cake.
no subject
I think Jon prefers dry cake. Just not too dry.
[He's a better cook than he is a baker, but he'll do his level best for their little guy.]
no subject
Is there anything Superman canβt do?
no subject
Oh my gosh. Yes. Absolutely.
no subject
Such as?
