Why this must be read:

For a show with so many themes about touch, there aren't too many PWPs in this fandom. Touch is, for both the reader and Johnny, a bit of hurt/comfort that slides into sweetness.

He thought maybe he should say something, stop this, but he honestly couldn't think of one damn reason, and Bruce's hands really were on him now. Knuckles running down his chest, a thumb stroking hard against his inner thigh, his muscles unknotting in relief. The braids were sleek under his hand; he wasn't sure for a moment if he had touched them or was going to.

Bruce didn't stop, kept working him over even when he had to have guessed, even when Johnny was shuddering under what his mouth was going to be doing. He wanted to beg for what he hadn't gotten yet, Bruce's hands on his body in present tense, inside him in future, and he wasn't going to be having the nightmare tonight after all.
