First Times (Usually Lead To Seconds), part four

Title: First Times (Usually Lead To Seconds)
Rating: PG-13 (for this part)
Pairing: Bruce/Gordon
A/N: It will be a few days before the next part, as tomorrow after work I'm off to have a social life, and I'll be gone till Sunday ;).


He's back to counting the firsts, so there. And the first date started with him in Gordon's office, almost causing a heart attack in his assistant. Gordon, however, just raised his eyebrow.

"Weren't you supposed to call?" he asked, and Bruce nodded.

"Possibly. But I wasn't sure you would actually say yes to dinner plans," he offered, shrugging. It might be a novel approach, yes, certainly an unorthodox one, and some people might call it insane (thank you, Alfred), but it didn't really differ in that manner from other things he managed to pull off on daily, or nightly, basis. "Besides, I was told my scheming ways were attractive."

"I said 'kind of'," Jim muttered, but he was already reaching for his jacket. "And you are also kind of lucky that I'm very hungry," he added, his smile belying the seemingly casual tone.

Bruce smiled back, then frowned slightly. "Are you really free? I'm springing up the plans on you, and maybe your daughter..."

"Her mother picked her up earlier today," Gordon said. "I'm entirely at your disposal," he added, watching Bruce's reaction with a small smirk. Honestly, it was not playing fair. "Speaking of my daughter, however," Gordon continued as they made their way to the elevator, "you've made quite an impression yesterday, with the book, and the theatre box. Fair warning, if she develops a crush on you, you're paying the therapy bill."

Bruce grimaced at the thought. "Deal." Maybe his imaginary therapist could help. She was racking up a really impressive imaginary bill.

"And of course," Gordon continued as they walked up to the newest Ferrari (replaced the Ferrari Bruce had accidentally crashed against a runaway vehicle of a bunch of bank robbers. For some reason, things like that kept happening to Bruce Wayne), turning a little to look at Bruce, "If she does develop a crush on you, I'll have to shoot you."

The tone was just as serious as when Gordon was discussing strategy with Batman, and it took Bruce a few seconds to laugh. "Is it a rule?"

"I believe so. Shoot the first one, and make sure the news gets around. She won't be dating until she's at least thirty."

"Good luck with that plan," Bruce snorted, and Gordon nodded sadly.

"Quite so."

The car moved smoothly through the streets, and they fell into a comfortable silence. Jim let his head fall back a little, eyes half closed, and Bruce willed himself to look at the road, not to his side. "If you're tired..." he started, and Gordon snorted, not moving.

"You know, for someone supposedly wanting a date, you are taking every possible opportunity to back out."

Bruce rolled his eyes. "I was just making sure you won't fall asleep halfway through it. That wouldn't be very flattering. And did you say date?"

"Oh, it might just as well be," Gordon sighed theatrically.

"The enthusiasm is overwhelming," Bruce noted, as the car pulled into the garage.

Gordon smiled, turning slightly, waiting for Bruce to park in the row of other flashy cars, and turn off the engine, before he undid his seat belt and shifted closer, leaning over the gear shift to Bruce's side, his breath warming Bruce's lips before they were caught in a soft kiss. This time, however, Bruce was prepared, coaxing Jim's mouth open, licking at the corner of his mouth, the place that infuriating smirk usually resided. At some point, he couldn't say when, his fingers tangled in Jim's shirt, tie caught between them, pulling him even closer.

Jim broke the kiss first, moving away just enough for his words to resonate against Bruce's lips. "Enthusiastic enough?"

"It's a start," Bruce muttered.

Win!!!

Have fun and thanks again for the update! :)

I'm VERY enthusiastic. MORE, please.

You've created Bruce who is, well, maybe not shy, but certainly out of his element. He's adorable and cute, but not so confident. It's actually Gordon who initiates the kiss, even if it's Bruce who... let's say, made it possible by inviting him on the dinner.

Fair warning, if she develops a crush on you, you're paying the therapy bill.
LOL! I loved the conversation about Barbara's potential crush and her chances on dating.

[identity profile] living-to-read.livejournal.com 2008-09-10 09:17 pm (UTC)(link)
still very nice
Maybe a bit short, but some moments were really funny (especially those about Barbara and the crush).
I'm going to miss it while you're away

This fic, it makes me happy :D

This? Pretty much my dad's outlook on me dating *eyeroll*

This series is the best. You totally deserve to have a stellar weekend. Thanks for posting this chapter.

I love the voice you use to narrate this story. It's this nice blend between Bruce and a whimsical narrator. I totally adore it.

Did I mention I can't wait until the hot sex?

A social life? Where are your priorities, m'dear? ;)

Great installment! I love these two and their teasing of each other, and Bruce being a little off-kilter as to what to do or say. Jim is wonderful! :)

And initiating the kiss. Way to go, Jim! :)

OMG how much do I love that now Gordon has initiated two kisses between them? Mmm! I really love how Bruce is not as in control as usual, and Gordon is more the one coaxing him and taking the intiative. YAY. I also like Gordon's stand on his daughter dating: that is him being a typical father hahaha.

Enjoy your weekend :)

Hi. I Googled Bruce/Gordon fanfic and found this (it was the top result, actually) and OMGWTF I love it. I love Bruce's inner monologue, and the awkward-adorable way they act together.

"Enthusiastic enough?"

I could hear him say those words, and it hot as hell. May I friend you to keep up with this? :)
