Just as well, there are some scrubbing activities best done alone. And Bruce pops a handful of NSAID tablets, too, while the bath fills. He's just finishing the glass of water when Clark returns, pushing it over onto the sink countertop.
Bruce looks at him, tips his head, smiles a little. He does look so different in glasses, but in a funny way; he's different now that Bruce knows he's hiding. Hard to explain. He's not sure he could. The tiny things that change in the way Clark holds himself, when he knows he's in disguise.
"Any vegan jelly?"
Is jelly vegan? Bees. Something's going on with vegans and bees, he thinks.
Ice goes into the bath, and then Bruce goes into the bath, only pulling a slight face. He's used to it, more or less, but the adjustment period is never fun. It's a very different kind of thing, from a man returning to his apartment to find his girlfriend soaking in warm water, all alluring and romantic. Bruce sinks in up to his collarbones, and keeps his breath even, slow. Stinging, freezing, near-pain, but there's a familiar meditative comfort to it. New is Clark's company.
