A/N: This is too short, they said. Write some actual ending and not this weird vague shit, they added. Welp, I don't care and I'm tired. Oh yeah, proof reading? Don't know her.


Failure Can Lead to Unexpected Victory

They were sitting in a really dirty burger place. Selina was opposite of Bruce devouring her burger but still somehow looking graceful even though she had sauce all over her mouth and chin.

"Hungry?" Bruce asked smiling. He had barely touched his food.

"Definitely." She answered still focusing on her burger.

"Do you want mine?" He offered. Without a word Selina snatched it.

When she was done with her first burger she slowed down. "How much money you even got?"

"Around ten bucks." Bruce said smoothly.

"Seriously?" She had a tad sauce on the tip of her nose teasing Bruce to wipe it off. He moved his palms underneath his legs to suppress that urge.

"Seriously." He said. "You have some…" He moved his other hand vaguely gesturing towards Selina's nose before returning it quickly back to safety.

"Oh. Thanks." Selina wiped her nose with her sleeve only causing it only to smidge further. It was as if this small droplet of dip had a vendetta against Bruce.

"You just... gotten it worse." Before Bruce could stop himself he reached for a napkin and wiped the sauce off from Selina's face. So much for keeping his hands to himself.

They both stayed silent for a while. Gone was their comfortable solidary from the same morning. Bruce furiously examined Selina's unfinished burger as if it was the most interesting thing in the world.

"Sooo… how did you stole those pathetic ten bucks anyway?" Selina tried teasingly.

Thankful for something to talk about Bruce answered without thinking. "I found a wallet from the ground."

"You found a wallet from the ground." Selina repeated with disbelief. She put her face to her hands. "God, you are hopeless."

"Hey," Bruce said offended. "You are the one who returned seven hours late without any money after being trapped by some low-life criminals. The great Selina Kyle beaten by some spoiled rich kid huh?"

Selina looked at her annoyed. "At least you could have lied and said you actually stole it."

Earlier Bruce had developed a rather convincing lie of him skillfully pickpocketing someone but that had gone out of the window after he had lost his cool with Selina.

"I could have but I figured you had embarrassed yourself enough without me chiming in." He smiled teasingly earning a good kick to his knee from Selina.

"Shut up." She tried to hide her smile. "At least you had to pay for our date."

With that Bruce straightened his back. "So this is a date?"

"No, I did not say that." Selina said too quickly.

"No, I heard you. You clearly said 'our date'." Bruce's lips twisted.

"Okay maybe I did but it's not like…" To Bruce's pleasure he noticed how Selina's cheeks turned to soft shade of pink which somehow made her even prettier. "It's not like we are on that kind of date." She finished lamely.

"You are blushing." Bruce noted. He couldn't repress his smile anymore.

"No I'm not." Selina objected blushing fiercely.

Bruce leaned back. "Sure, whatever you say, Selina."

"Shut up." She retorted. "I'm not blushing."

Bruce smirked.

"We are so not on a date." She muttered under her breath.

Bruce knew he had won. He didn't regret anymore that he had wiped the sauce off her face earlier. Or that he had accidentally grabbed her wrist. Not even that weird moment when he could have sworn Selina was looking at his lips. His smirk grew wider. No matter what Selina said this was definitely some kind of date.

"You are the worst thief though." Selina commented taking a bite from her burger.

"Again, I find that hard to believe after what kind of stunt you pulled earlier…"

"That was one time. When else have I failed?"

"Well there was that one time with man with the nose."

"In my defense that nose was so weird."

"What kind of excuse is that?"

Outsider would have thought the two teens dressed in worn out clothes would have been tired and seen too much too young but when that same outsider saw their happy smiles, heard their teasing voices and how they just seemed to light up whenever they managed to get a laugh from one another they would have thought the two kids would survive just fine as long as they got each other. They were too young to be truly in love but even an idiot couldn't deny there was something between them. Their easy chemistry came so naturally and their curiosity to find and test new boundaries that they seemed to miss was obvious to all those who surrounded them. Push and pull, cat and mouse, always chasing each other, always coming back to each other no matter what happened. Yeah, those teens would be alright.
