"Mental image," he explains as he leans into the kiss. Notes are in his head, Bruce knows how to do plumbing, and he's done his own laundry before. Clark knows all these things, but sometimes you say things to tease, because Bruce's stares are as precious as his smiles in certain ways. He loves driving him a little crazy either way.

He makes a noise into the next kiss, because there's a next kiss, he keeps wanting more kisses. The noise says he loves Bruce, loves his grumpy face and his bossiness and all the 'warmth sharing' they've done out in the city. But it's a noise because that was just the best way with Bruce most of the time. Thought conveyed without Bruce needing to acknowledge it.
