*He had already done everything within Wayne Manor that needed doing, from hero costume cleaning to dusting. Yet, he found himself finding more things to fuss over and handle. An attempt to keep busy. He had cleaned the same Ming Vase three times with the duster. It was like someone had wound his internal clock tighter than a spring. The reason for it? The newest member of Bruce's circle. Not quite family, but more than an acquaintance, for certain. And they were due to be by shortly again. For some reason, it made his stomach tighten, and his heart flutter.
Well, 'for some reason' was actually quite clear. But Alfred Pennyworth was hesitant to give a name to it. Now, as he dusted off the Ming Vase that absolutely did not need it; he did.
He was head over heels in love, and he had no idea of what to do about it.*
