No Laws Enough for Us
by Beth
for rabidfangurl
"You knew. You knew it'd come to this."
Ducard's fingers are drawing strange patterns on Bruce's back, and his breathing is calm as the waves. "There was no other way. There are no laws for men like us, and none to understand. No-one can go through life in a mask, Bruce."
He wants to protest, to scream they're nothing alike, they can never be alike, but instead he bites down, hard and sharp, drawing a soft sound from Ducard's lips. Inside, he is grateful to Ducard - Ra's Al Ghul, he reminds himself - for this lesson in sanity, but he also knows he is holding the other man down for the last time.
If there are no laws for what they are, he will make them.
