SUMMARY: Clark is more than happy to help Bruce out at the fundraiser and woo donors. One problem, though. Clark doesn't know how to ballroom dance.

READ ON AO3.

Chapter 1 - One, two, three

There's nothing like the Daily Planet. The soft clacking of keys as brilliant minds put words to page, the gentle ringing of one of the world's last remaining landlines and of course, Lois' soft sighs of frustration make him feel right at home. He purposely straightens, stretching his arms over his head—a secret signal for his mentor and friend.

“Smallville,” Lois clips from the other side of the cubicle.

“No c's, just k's. It was a branding choice, remember?”

“Gotcha,” she hums, and her agreement is followed by the tapping of keys. “What would I do without you, Clark?”

A single-wrapped cookie makes it over the paneled wall that separates them and hits him on the head.

“Ow?”

Lois pokes her head up, frowning at him. “Really? Every time? How do you not expect that?”

There was a time where Clark was sure she was training him Pavlovian-style to be her personal spell-checker. He'd been inspired by her work ethic, intimidated by her determination and when he found out that the great Lois Lane still needed help spelling tomorrow, well, he was in love. She doesn't need to reward him. It's an honour to help. Plus, he pays attention.

Clark looks up at her from beneath his unstylish glasses and pushes them higher onto the bridge of his nose. A gentle flush colours his cheeks. “Well, I… was focused, you see.”

“Sure,” she says, rolling her eyes. “Thank you.” Lois adds with the deepest sincerity before disappearing back into her vortex of productivity. Clark is one of the few friends she's made at the Planet; it's almost like ‘How to Lose Friends and Alienate People' was made for her. Might as well keep the one that sticks around.

At times, when Clark lets his mind drift, he can even catch the faint flickering sound of a phone screen lighting up—one that's been silenced—and calling out for his owner. He'd turned his downwards, if only to stay focused. He's got a pile of condominium by-laws to sort through to find inconsistencies.

One of the icons lights up at the bottom of his screen, and a notification box slides up the corner. Bruce Wayne says ‘Kent'.

Hm.

The last time Bruce messaged him at work, they'd wasted time which was Bruce's intention—he wanted a distraction from the meeting he was in. The deadline for this article is fast approaching and he figures if it was urgent, Bruce would call. Clark looks back down at his papers.

‘Wow, really? You're going to leave me on read?' reads the next pop-up box, and he can't help the way his eyes flicker to it anyway.

Clark hadn't even opened the chat. He looks around, confused. There's no way Bruce is here. The chatter would have reached him easily. He squints at the cameras in the office, then directly at the one on his monitor.

That's ridiculous, he tells himself. Bruce wouldn't… would he?

Clark rolls his eyes. Yeah, he absolutely would.

The papers are pushed aside as Clark pulls his keyboard closer. He clicks open the chat.

CLARK KENT - Daily Planet - Metropolis, NY

How can I help you, Mr. Wayne?

BRUCE WAYNE - Wayne Enterprises - Gotham City, NJ

Are you coming to the fundraiser?

CLARK KENT - Daily Planet - Metropolis, NY

I wasn't invited. Perry's going on behalf of the Planet. Lois too.

BRUCE WAYNE - Wayne Enterprises - Gotham City, NJ

You weren't invited on behalf of the planet. You should've gotten a personal invite like all the V.I.P.s.

CLARK KENT - Daily Planet - Metropolis, NY

Ha! Me? V.I.P.? I don't have that kind of money.

BRUCE WAYNE - Wayne Enterprises - Gotham City, NJ

Exactly. Very Important Peasant.

CLARK KENT - Daily Planet - Metropolis, NY

… hey, why can't I block you?

BRUCE WAYNE - Wayne Enterprises - Gotham City, NJ

Huh, strange 🙂

CLARK KENT - Daily Planet - Metropolis, NY

I've been staying with Ma the past two weeks. Barn needs to be repaired. I'm helping with chores until it's done. I'll pass by my apartment tonight for the mail.

… was there a reason you wanted me to come?

BRUCE WAYNE - Wayne Enterprises - Gotham City, NJ

Do I need a reason to invite my friend to my party?

CLARK KENT - Daily Planet - Metropolis, NY

Fundraisers are not parties. They're work. I distinctly remember you saying that.

BRUCE WAYNE - Wayne Enterprises - Gotham City, NJ

Fine, then I was hoping to have my partner in crime to help little old me win over some donations. I'll play bad cop and you can play good cop.

CLARK KENT - Daily Planet - Metropolis, NY

Uh, okay, sure. What do I need to do?

BRUCE WAYNE - Wayne Enterprises - Gotham City, NJ

Chat people up.

Invite sweet old ladies to dance and win them over with that classic Midwestern charm of yours.

Throw in a couple ‘ope's and you're golden.

CLARK KENT - Daily Planet - Metropolis, NY

I don't say ‘ope' that much. Small problem, though.

BRUCE WAYNE - Wayne Enterprises - Gotham City, NJ

I already bought you a tux. It'll be sent to you in time for the event.

CLARK KENT - Daily Planet - Metropolis, NY

No! I have a suit!!!!!!

BRUCE WAYNE - Wayne Enterprises - Gotham City, NJ

I said tuxedo, not suit.

They're different.

What's the problem?

CLARK KENT - Daily Planet - Metropolis, NY

It's about the dancing.

BRUCE WAYNE - Wayne Enterprises - Gotham City, NJ

What? You can't dance?

CLARK KENT - Daily Planet - Metropolis, NY

Not unless you want me to start a line dance.

‘Achy breaky heart' is an underrated ‘banger'.

BRUCE WAYNE - Wayne Enterprises - Gotham City, NJ

You can't dance.

CLARK KENT - Daily Planet - Metropolis, NY

I will not tolerate line dancing slander. I'm telling Ma.

BRUCE WAYNE - Wayne Enterprises - Gotham City, NJ

Unbelievable. I can't take you anywhere.

“One, two—ouch.”

“Ope,” Clark flushes, and tucks his chin into his chest, sheepish.

Bruce gives him a look, and it only worsens the blush on Clark's face.

“Don't say it.”

“I don't have to, you already proved my point. Now, pay attention. All you have to do is count to three to the rhythm of the music and make a square pattern with your steps. Easy.”

Bruce rambles on about the different shapes on the floor, and its a wonder he doesn't break down the exact angle at which Clark needs to tilt his body while leading to guide his partner into the most perfect Fibonacci sequence.

When Bruce said he'd help Clark, he didn't think it would be this… hands on.

Clark looks down at Bruce, tipping his head to watch the way Bruce's brow furrows slightly and the gentle dip at the corner of his lips when he's unsatisfied with his explanation. He barely hides his smile.

He's so focused.

It's not unlike the way they train together. Bruce instructs, then they practice. He's gotten Clark to the approximate level of a brown belt in jiujitsu because, and Clark, quotes, ‘you can't always punch your way through everything'. (Spoiler alert: he can.) Clark accepted to roll with him anyway because it was fun and there's nothing like the little expressions Bruce makes when he's teaching.

He's cute.

“Again,” Bruce grunts, keeping his eyes downcast for his own safety. It's bad manners, as he instructed, but all his other dance partners couldn't shatter his toes on accident for being distracted.

Clark straightens. All of Bruce's advice is locked into his mind, yes siree. Just a square, anyone can do a square.

“One, two, three. One, two, three.”

The dance starts slow and when Bruce deems Clark's technique suitable, he picks up the pace ever so slightly.

Aside from training, they've never been this close before. In training, Clark can't admire Bruce's pretty lashes, especially when he's looking down at their feet, or the pout of his lip when he's unsatisfied with a move Clark's making. He doesn't get to drink in the little imperfections like that one strand off hair that escapes the rest of his perfectly styled hair, errant over his forehead making him seem younger than his years.

(He won't say how many years, Bruce will know. He always knows.)

Bruce has honed himself to be the perfect human weapon—a ninja, an olympian, a dashing rogue and an acrobat—and yet Clark still catches the way his breathing ticks up when they've been practicing long enough.

It's so soft.

Both Bruce's lips and his breath distract him. Clark's mind begins to wander. The only other time Bruce looks so delicate is when he sleeps, but even then, the only times Bruce has ever allowed Clark to see was against his will or out of necessity when he's battered, bruised and exhausted.

“One, two, three. One, two, three.”

One of Clark's hand's rests at the small of Bruce's back, his arm providing a rest for Bruce's, and the other clasps his hand with all the care in the world. He's long stopped worrying about hurting Bruce—or anyone—with his strength. It's the moment that's fragile, easily shattered with one wrong step. (Okay, okay, several but he has to be close to the limit, right?) He likes supporting Bruce. He likes touching him in such an innocent way. They're just dancing and Clark feels like he's flying.

Does Bruce feel it too?

“You're too fast.”

He probably doesn't. Bruce is a man who leaps off the highest building in Gotham without thinking twice. He is a man who catches himself. What's a little dancing to him?

“Clark—”

Clark wonders how Bruce feels when he takes him up into the skies and blankets him in clouds. Does his heart feel light like this?

“Don't step there. Hey—”

Goosebumps skitter from the tips of Clark's toes up to toy with the fine hairs on the back of his neck. Bruce has been by his side for years, and he swears—he swears he has never seen him like this. The suit, though still needing to be tailored for the gala, fits perfectly on Bruce's smaller, more lithe frame.

The dance stops, abrubtly.

“Is there something on my face?” Bruce looks up at Clark, his mouth pressed into a thin line.

“Huh?” No? He would've noticed if there was anything wrong with Bruce's face. The more important issue is how everything is right with his face. Wait, that doesn't make sense.

There's an unshakeable silliness hanging of Clark's heart, nagging at him like popcorn in his teeth. He wants to pick at it until it goes away because he's so distracted and Bruce is being very kind in helping him learn how to dance on time for the Gala. He wants to bury his face into his hands and groan until he's expelled all the silliness out of him—until he can focus on what's being asked of him.

“You've been staring at my face,” Bruce pauses, deadpan. “For fifteen minutes straight.”

“Have I?” Clark asks, very intelligently. “Haha,” he adds, as if that helps his situation any. He didn't even notice how long he'd been staring. “Time sure flies when you're having fun!”

The look Bruce gives him is not a good one. He finds no fun in puns or familiar adages. It's a Batman look. The look of a hater who cannot truly appreciate Clark's craft.

“Again.”

“Mhm,” Clark hums and straightens his back. The dancing resumes.

He could fit in my pocket.

It's a thought that occupies Clark's mind more often than not. On some days, he'd like to tuck Bruce against his breast for his own safety and on others, he wishes he could tote Bruce around and show him all the things that make him happy. Bruce would love the Kansas State Fair. There's a tour of the Strataca Salt Mines. It seems right up Bruce's alley—wait, no, right up his cave.

Clark grins to himself, proud of his own word games.

“Clark,” Bruce reprimands.

“Hm?”

“What?”

Clark knows what's being asked of him, and he's really not in the mood to be interrogated. It's not nearly as fun as it sounds and many would argue it doesn't sound fun at all.

He bites his lip, worrying at it while staring at Bruce, which only makes it worse.

“I'm not going to ask you ag—”

“Has anyone told you how pretty you are?”

“Huh?”

“Like really pretty? Like, the kind of pretty that's distracting and it stays on your mind a couple days after you've noticed.” The words spill from Clark's mouth, honest and earnest all at once. Tons of people have told Bruce he's handsome, Clark knows that. He doesn't mean it in the same way the others do. At least, he hopes it doesn't come off as… that.

“I—What?”

Clark tips Bruce's chin up delicately, still holding hands with his other, and cups the sharp line of his jaw. He says, very softly and directly: “I think you're really pretty, Bruce.”

The battle that takes place in Bruce's mind translates onto his expression through a ticked jaw and a furrowed bow. He glares at Clark like he's committed the greatest faux pas on the dancefloor and maybe their friendship—

Clark releases him and backs off. “I mean! Your parents did a great job!” He holds his hands out.

“My parents did a great job?” Bruce recites back at him.

“Ope, you've got a phone call coming in!”

Before Bruce can reprimand Clark for the (weird) compliment or for trying to dodge the subject, his Bat-phone vibrates. After a couple of grunts, he excuses himself to go on patrol.

Clark doesn't know why he does that; they always end up together anyway.

***

The Batman glowers.

Gotham's lights reflect on his face, illuminating the sudden emergence of stubble and the frown lines around his uncovered mouth. Whoa, how many times is that now? How many times has Clark's gaze sneakily drifted down to those cute frowny—

Focus, Superman.

A cursory glance around the city shows that their perps haven't moved from their meeting spot inside the warehouse, and he listens into see if they're ever coming to the tail end of their negotations. (They are not.)

He tips his head into Batman's line of sight, trying to follow his gaze. Clark tries to track it and by his guesstimation, the Batman is glaring at the… ground? The arms folded across means that whatever he's thinking about is Very Serious™ too. He doesn't dare look beneath the cowl—that's rude—but he thinks he catches the sight of a faint, faint blush on his cheeks.

Clark hums softly to himself, steps back and beams brightly into the night.

Thinking Bats are best not disturbed.

Sustainable Development in Singapore: An Exemplar of Modern Urban Ecology

Strategic Advancement in Green Building: In an ambitious endeavor, Singapore aims for 80% of its buildings to be green-certified by 2030, a significant milestone considering its urban density. Changi Airport, an epitome of this initiative, integrates a myriad of eco-friendly features, including the Rain Vortex, the world's tallest indoor waterfall, enhancing its reputation as the "World's Best Airport" for eight consecutive years.

Solar Energy Initiatives: Singapore's commitment to renewable energy is evident in its solar power achievements. Surpassing 820 megawatt-peak (MWp) in solar capacity at the end of 2022, the nation is on track to reach its 2025 target of 1.5 gigawatt- (GWp).

Enhancements in Public Transportation: Singapore's sustainable transport strategy aims for 75% of peak-hour commutes to be via public transport by 2030. The expansion of the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) system and the introduction of eco-friendly buses are pivotal in this endeavor, aiming to reduce reliance on private vehicles and lower carbon emissions.

Promotion of Electric Vehicles (EV): The government's extension of the Electric Vehicle Common Charger Grant until December 2025 underscores its commitment to enhancing EV infrastructure. This initiative, covering up to 50% of the cost of smart chargers, has led to the approval of 267 EV charger applications across 107 condominiums since July 2021.

Vision of a "City in a Garden": Singapore's approach to urban development harmoniously blends with environmental stewardship, as seen in its goal to plant one million trees by 2030. The iconic Gardens by the Bay, with its Supertrees, symbolizes this blend of ecological innovation and urban living, integrating features like solar energy collection and rainwater harvesting.

Singapore's multifaceted approach to sustainability is a testament to its visionary leadership, integrating technology, policy, and community involvement to create a living model of a sustainable urban future.

The Castaways of Sunny Isles, Miami, Florida, pictured in postcards from the 1960s

Opened in 1952, the Castaways sat on both sides of Collins Ave and initially offered 72 rooms, a coffee shop, cocktail lounge and a waterfall entrance. In 1958, owner Joe Hart renovated the property, added 60 more rooms and opened the iconic Wreck Bar, known for its nude go-go dancers and celebrity visitors.

Like most motels along Miami’s motel row, the Castaways suffered as tourism declined in the 1970s. Hart sold the property for $14 million in 1979. It closed in 1982 and was demolished in 1985. It has since been replaced by Oceania, a high end luxury condominium. Source

raymond goldstone, lovingly known as ron

It would be disingenuous to say we were friends since we were only just starting to get to know each other, but, friendship is where I would like to remember you by.

It is just shy of three weeks when I went over and we chatted: you were valedictorian but because of your unexcused absences, you weren't allowed to speak at graduation; your days spent in Venice when it was a crummy place and you knew Linda Ronstadt; your collection of over 160 signed baseballs, half of which you stood around watching them get signed; how it seem to me you loved and adored your mother, whose picture rested on a mantle, and whom you lived with till her passing; your estranged relationship with your brother; an impecunious upbringing in an apartment building that has since been torn down and made into expensive condominiums; you're 81 years old; your absent father who ran away with another woman; your early days at UCLA under Chancellor Charles Young and how when you left, he said to come back anytime; your very short intervening career at the Public Defender's office; your time back at UCLA, back under Young; your 13,000 plus inventory of Doo Wop mp3s, not to mention the Doo Wop internet radio show you produced every Thursday night, followed by 500 or so listeners; it had been easily 20 years since I saw the Winamp icon on a desktop; your invite for Jane to come by and borrow and burn any CD of his, anytime, really; our neighbor across the street who has cameras under cameras on top of cameras; the personalized office you had built out but realized it faced the side of a condo building and it wasn't nice to look at so you moved everything to the living room instead; hey look, someone named a Foundation after me because I wrote a $500 check a long time ago, ASCA Raymond Goldstone Foundation; I was there because you had sound issues with your laptop but when I finally came over, after months of small talking outside on your driveway, Louie getting familiar with your lawn, your lawn really is his favorite place for relief, the speakers were working fine. I wish I called you to keep up with the pretense, wish I made the offer to make Friday mornings a standing appointment, wish that, when I was standing outside your door saying our goodbyes, that I had said, it was great talking with you Ron, I really enjoyed it. I wish I knew his name was Ray, not Ron. Wish that I didn't have to see your house every time I look out the window now because you're gone.

Nashville, often referred to as "Music City," is a popular tourist destination and a thriving city that offers numerous advantages for retirees. In this article, we will probe the top 10 reasons why retiring in Nashville can be a perfect choice for those looking for a vibrant and fulfilling retirement lifestyle. 

1. Vibrant Music and Entertainment Scene

Retiring in Nashville means immersing yourself in a vibrant music and entertainment scene that is unrivaled. Known as the home of country music, Nashville boasts a legendary music heritage. Live performances, concerts, and a thriving entertainment industry are all at your fingertips.

With abundant cultural offerings, Music City ensures your retirement is filled with excitement and entertainment.

2. Mild Climate

An influential factor to consider when choosing a retirement destination is the climate, and retiring in Nashville offers a pleasant environment with a mild climate. The city experiences relatively mild winters and warm summers, allowing you to enjoy outdoor activities throughout the year. 

Nashville boasts four distinct seasons, each with its unique charm. You can take leisurely walks in parks, relax by the beautiful Cumberland River, or participate in outdoor festivals and events. The moderate climate of Nashville provides the perfect backdrop for an active retirement lifestyle.

3. Low Cost of Living

Financial considerations are crucial in retirement planning, and Nashville offers a moderately low cost of living compared to other major cities. Whether you prefer a cozy home or a spacious condominium, housing costs are affordable. 

Property taxes are reasonable, and Tennessee does not have a state income tax, which can be a significant advantage for retirees looking to make their retirement savings last longer. The low cost of living in Nashville allows you to enjoy a comfortable retirement without compromising your financial well-being.

4. Healthcare Facilities and Services

Access to quality healthcare is paramount during retirement, and Nashville excels. The city is home to renowned medical centers such as the Vanderbilt University Medical Center and Saint Thomas Health, which provide world-class healthcare services. 

These facilities offer a broad scope of specialized treatments and cutting-edge medical care. Retiring in Nashville ensures that you have access to top-notch healthcare and the peace of mind that comes with it. 

5. Abundance of Outdoor Recreational Opportunities

You can explore the serene beauty of Radnor Lake State Park, go boating or fishing on Percy Priest Lake, or enjoy a picnic in one of the picturesque parks. With abundant outdoor recreational opportunities, Nashville offers retirees the chance to stay active and enjoy the beauty of the great outdoors.

6. Rich Cultural Heritage and History

Nashville's cultural heritage and history extend far beyond its musical legacy. The city is home to several museums and cultural institutions that offer a glimpse into its past. The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum celebrates country music's rich history, while the Tennessee State Museum provides insights into the state's heritage. 

The Frist Art Museum showcases diverse art exhibitions. Retirees can indulge in the arts, delve into history, and explore the vibrant cultural scene, expanding their horizons and enriching their retirement experience in Nashville.

7. Active Senior Communities and Social Engagement

Nashville provides a wide range of active senior communities and retirement villages that foster a sense of community and encourage social engagement. These communities often feature amenities such as fitness centers, social clubs, and organized activities tailored to the interests of retirees. 

They offer a platform for like-minded individuals to connect, share experiences, and build lasting friendships. Retiring in Nashville means being part of a supportive community that values social connections and encourages an active and fulfilling retirement lifestyle.

8. Culinary Delights and Southern Cuisine

For food enthusiasts, Nashville's vibrant culinary scene is a haven of flavors and delights. The city's restaurants, food trucks, and farmers' markets offer diverse culinary experiences. 

From mouthwatering Southern cuisine to international dishes, you can savor the finest delicacies and embark on culinary adventures throughout Music City. Whether indulging in classic barbecue, sampling hot chicken, or exploring innovative fusion cuisine, retiring in Nashville ensures that your taste buds are constantly delighted by a gastronomic paradise.

9. Proximity to Beautiful Destinations

Nashville's strategic location provides retirees with easy access to many beautiful destinations. Within a few hours' drive, you can probe the majestic Great Smoky Mountains, known for their stunning vistas and hiking trails. Charming towns like Franklin and Lynchburg offer a glimpse into Tennessee's history and southern charm. 

The surrounding countryside invites you to enjoy its serene beauty and peaceful retreats. Retiring in Nashville allows you to embark on exciting weekend getaways and discover the region's natural wonders and cultural gems.

10. Welcoming Community and Southern Hospitality

Nashville is renowned for its warm and welcoming community, and its strong reputation for Southern hospitality makes it an ideal place to retire. Whether you're a newcomer or a long-time resident, you'll find that the city embraces diversity and fosters a sense of belonging. 

Nashville's residents' friendly and kind-hearted nature makes it easy to form new friendships and connect with others. The welcoming community and Southern hospitality create an atmosphere that enhances your retirement experience, ensuring that you feel at home in this vibrant city.
