Under the circumstances, there wouldn't be anything awkward about a reunion kiss, or kisses, but Bruce is still thrilling over Phil's hand on his knee to even consider that Phil might want to kiss him yet. His eyes are lit up now in a way they hardly ever are, free from cynicism and that weariness that nearly always wears him down. He settles his hand on top of Phil's, just so relieved to be able to do that again. His heart's racing just from this, but they're still okay, of course; he's just happy.
No, Bruce doesn't really trust SHIELD all that much, but he and Phil had fallen into an easy and surprising trust almost immediately upon Bruce's arrival to Arkham, so he knew that the Phil he -- well -- loves would be there. Whether or not he knew he cared for Bruce too was the real question. Honestly, Bruce misses Arkham sometimes too, or at least the people, the bonds he'd formed.
"Your memories seem to be slowly coming back. Give your mind some time to recover and detox; they'll filter back in eventually."
He smiles, a real smile, and squeezes both hands -- Phil's and Clint's.
"And we have the opportunity now to make new ones besides. Not necessarily sexy ones." His smile twists into something wry, comfortably so. "You still have to meet Margarita. She makes the best eggs."

He grins wickedly over at Clint.
