Oh man, okay, Bruce really likes Annabeth. I think I told you this before but he has an enormous fondness for strong-minded, intelligent, but still compassionate women, and just because she's young doesn't change that. It just gets a slightly protective flavor in this case since he's the de facto responsible adult, even if he hates being put in that role.

He has a lot of respect and admiration for how intelligent she is, and how relentlessly she applies that altruistically and for helping others. She's blunt and abrasive about it sometimes, but Bruce is that way himself, and he sees right through it to her compassion. The way she tried to encourage him to self-acceptance immediately in their first conversation, but in an extremely logical way, without knowing anything about his circumstances, hit him really hard and kind of endeared her to him forever. Even if he never will agree with her on that, Bruce really needs people to say it to him anyway, and it means a lot.

He is, honestly, really worried about her, because like we went over, he picks up on subtle cues well and he can see that something is going on. He also knows that anyone as mature as she is at her age has to have had a hard life, and he accepts that with a kind of tired resignation. He'll do whatever he can to help not because he's trying to return it or feels it's owed, but flatly he just thinks she deserves it. She reminds him of a sharper tongued, more outgoing Betty, and once you make that association in Bruce's head you're just doomed. XD

He barely understands this gods thing and frankly doesn't care. Annabeth is Annabeth and that's enough for him. Of course, it's Bruce, so whether he'd say any of this out loud is highly debatable.

I KNOW, HE'S SO DUMB AND IDK IF HE'LL EVER... LET ON ABOUT ANY OF IT BUT UH.... there you go silent support guaranteed :(

[sophos]

SHE MIGHT BE ABLE TO PICK UP ON IT she can read people like the back of her hand. but kdslhasd sobbing she's never had a lot of super consistent support in her life...!

[angermanaging]

YOU'RE WELCOME TO HAVE HER SEE THROUGH HIS FACADE HOWEVER YOU'D LIKE I'll try to write it into his tags in this upcoming thread in case you want to play it that way

I love people seeing through him anyway xD

but yeah. Bruce has a lot of faults and shortcomings, but consistent support? He's got that, man. You don't stay in love with the same woman for ten years while seeing her once unless you're chronically incapable of giving up on people.

yes good it'll make for another layer to the whole thing ROLLS AROUND PREEMPTIVELY

sd,manksdf ugh Bruce. Bruce/Betty otp tbh. but Annabeth has had a lot of Abandonment Issues with the amount of people who were supposed to support her leaving her SO PLEASE BRUCE, SHOW HER THAT YOU WON'T it's gonna throw her off. especially from an Adult.

[angermanaging]

ALL THE PREEMPTIVE ROLLING AROUND WITH YOU

auuuugh Bruce/Betty don't even get me started on them. Well he might leave but it'd be for her protection from him and that makes it okay, right?? But he wouldn't ever emotionally withdraw his support.
