“I’d like your things to be moved to the manor immediately.”

It was sudden, you honestly weren’t expecting this. Bruce had never been one to be expressing his feelings with words — especially feelings that were like this, the one he had towards you.

With you knowing his identity as Batman, he expressed his worries that you could be in danger, since there were a few times you were seen with the Dark Knight more than twice.

He loved you, he just didn’t know how to make the next step to something greater, more promising, more secure for the both of you. Ever since whatever it was between him and Selina, his hope for maintaining something longlasting shattered, he didn’t believe he could do this long term.

But you had brought a light to him, many times he had thought you would turn away, would leave for a long while. Leave forever or having and on and off relationship that constantly kept him on edge.

You didn’t.

Sure, you had your own problems, but it didn’t make you leave him, you needed someone, and he needed someone too.

He was grateful to have you, it had been years ever since he spoke the first ever ”I love you.” to you, now, despite the unsurprising arguments, you two stayed with eachother.

That was why he asked — well, more like ordered — you to do it, to move in and live with him. He craved your presence and needed to know you were safe, and where else would it be than at his own manor?
