[Bruce didn't have to say anything. The gesture and the fact that he hasn't pulled away or tried to make this all business and told him he should have figured out a way to avoid the flood or delete the post or something is more than enough. Considering the fact that he was, honestly, sort of scared of Bruce's reaction to the post - since he definitely thought if given the choice, Bruce would probably change things, rather then keep life the way it was - this was incredibly reassuring.
And honestly, this was all he really wanted. He might have only been gone for four months, but between stuff on the Barge and finding out about the future and worrying he'd go home only to go through losing Bruce for real and not knowing he'd be safe at some point, he'd missed Bruce like hell. He'd been sort of jealous that Tim had gotten to go home and say hi and make sure everything was okay, but now Bruce was here and he didn't have to struggle with the decision to stay here or go home and risk not coming back just to make sure everything was okay.
So he didn't pull away and wouldn't until Bruce did, appreciating the contact and the fact that Bruce was here. Even if it had happened because of a flood and he hadn't actually wanted to announce any of this, it felt good to know he was loved.]
