WAYNE MANOR
Bruce was in his bed trying to get some sleep, after he decided to hang up the cape he found it hard to sleep at night. After some time he decided to get up and get some water from the kitchen, going down the stairs he saw that Alfred was still awake and sitting at the dining table.
Bruce: Hey, Alfred why aren't you asleep?
Alfred: Ah, Master Wayne I had an headache so I went down to take some painkillers, what about you, still getting used to not going out on patrol in Gotham?
Bruce: Yeah, when I decided to stop being Batman I thought it would be easier, but now I feel like I don't have a real purpose.
Alfred: Well Master Bruce, there are a lot of new things you can try. Some new hobbies or maybe finally finding someone special, start a family…
Bruce lets out a dry chuckle
Bruce: Maybe you are right Alfred, but I don't think I would have to look far…
Alfred was a little surprised by Bruce's answer, so he asked him..
Alfred: Do you mean you have someone already Master Bruce?
Bruce looked down at his feet and sighed
Bruce: No Alfred, I haven't had the courage to confess
Alfred: Well, why not Bruce?
Bruce: You know I am not good with these type of feelings Alfred, I am afraid that if I do confess that she will reject me and I will spend the rest of my life alone and broken, because I really like her Alfred and this could just ruin our friendship.
Alfred: Friendship? Is it someone I know?
Bruce: You do know her…
Alfred: Well Master Bruce don't keep us waiting, who is it?
Bruce: Its Diana…
Alfred: Oh, well Master Bruce that is good news!
Bruce: What do you mean?
Alfred: Well you two always had something going on but you were always ignoring it because of your fear of losing someone again…
Bruce: So… do you think I should tell her how I feel?
Alfred: Well that is up to you Master Bruce, but there is one problem…
Bruce: What problem?
Alfred: Well, I don't think Diana's mother would take these news kindly.
Bruce's eyes opened wide.
Bruce: I forgot about them… But Diana was exiled from Themyscira, I don't think they can really have a say what she does in her life now…
Alfred: That is right, she was exiled, but her mother still loves her and her being together with a man… she would for sure try to stop it from happening…
Bruce sighed and got up from the dining table.
Bruce: Well, I still have to think about everything, but… if I do decide to pursue my feelings for Diana, there is no one that is going to stop me.
Alfred smiled and nodded, he got up from the dining table as well and made his way up the stairs after saying good night to Bruce.
Bruce sat in his bedroom thinking about the conversation he had with Alfred.
Could he have enough strength to go and confess his feelings to Diana?
Would she feel the same way? Well that was a thought for another day, Bruce fell asleep thinking about what tomorrow could bring…
