[ He nods, the only sounds coming from him the faint sobs he still lets out. He'd say she makes him happy too, but it seems a little stupid when he's crying his eyes out in her arms, when he looks this miserable and broken. He couldn't look any farther from happy right now, but he does feel relieved. Relieved and safe and loved, and he may not be happy right this moment, but he'll get there eventually. He just needs a little time.
It feels like it, anyway. Like her holding him for long enough could heal any wound, dry any tear, shine a light on any dark corner in him. Sometimes he thinks it should take more than that, but then he feels like this is enough, she always has been. Enough, and so much more, and he doesn't need anything else to be fine again.
But for now, he cries and he cries and she'll have a wet stain on the shoulder and front of her shirt that may as well be Bruce-shaped. He doesn't know how long it passes but it must be a good few minutes until he finally manages to calm down and actually take a breath without falling apart all over again. His eyes are a little drier too. ]
I stained your shirt. [ Said softly, but evenly, as he lifts a hand up and dries his eyes the best he can, sniffling a little. ] I'm sorry, I didn't mean to— that was a mess. I'm kind of a mess right now.
