It was one of those nights. His body was in agonizing pain. His spine aching as usual since… since Bane had broken it. He slowly turned his head, gazing at the love of his life. His didn’t want to wake you, not a chance.

He’d rather sit in silent pain, his spine aching. Just as he’d always done as the Bat, but he didn’t have the cowl on to hide the pain in his face this time.

“God…” he grunted, a fire shooting up his back as his hands gripped the sheets. He couldn’t exactly writhe in pain but he couldn’t stay still either.

Sadly he felt you stir next to him, listening to you move. Causing his body to ache more. He’s never relied on anyone before, but right now he needed some help. He needed you.
