He paused next to her, when suddenly he felt her arms curl around his frame, holding him tight. He wrapped his arms around her as well, holding her close, unable to release her. How could he have been so stupid to risk everything for an experiment? Well he knew his boundaries when it came to testing theories. He was no longer a guinea pig.
He loved being so close to her, and welcomed her affection though he knew it was fleeting and of the moment. Her heart belonged to Erik, and Bruce wasn't one to make anyone make choices. He also wouldn't battle for her. She had to figure out what she wanted on her own. There wouldn't be any regrets that way. He returned her kiss, head canted downwards so that their lips met comfortably, holding her close. He savored moment.
