"Oh! Sorry was I interrupting something. There's not exactly a doorbell that I can ring."
Clark quickly zipped his pants back up. He blushed a little and smiled. "Oh, no. I was just sitting around, you know."
"It's perfectly normal, Clark. Most teenagers do the same after school activity. Let me guess. Lana was just here, wasn't she?" Lex walked over to Clark's telescope and started fooling around with it.
"No, actually, it was Whitney." He said looking down at his feet in embarrassment.
A big smile grew on Lex's face. "So you're finally switching teams? I was wondering when you would see the light." He walked over and patted him on the back.
"It was weird. He came over to get on my case about me and Lana and something about the way he pushed me against the wall and threatened me just turned me on so much. And, all of a sudden, I just wanted him so bad." He sat down on the couch. "I've never been attracted to another guy before. Why am I having these feelings all of a sudden?"
Lex walked over and sat next to him. "I went through the same thing when I first realized my sexuality, Clark. Up until I met you I had always thought I was straight. I had dated plenty of women but I never found myself really attracted to them which caused problems in the bedroom. This is the reason I've never had a real relationship with a woman." He casually put a hand on Clark's shoulder. "But then I met you. I'd never seen someone as beautiful as you. And at that moment I realized I was gay. I wanted you, Clark. I wanted you real bad. But since you were straight, I gave up and moved on to other men. But back to the point. This is just how it happens sometimes."
Clark glanced at Lex's hand that was on his shoulder. "Wait. You were attracted to me?" He had never picked up any weird vibes or anything from Lex before.
"Oh, yes. Who wouldn't be? You're a very attractive young man, Clark. The only reason you don't do good with the ladies is because they all already knew you were gay. Well with the exception of Chloe. She probably thinks that she can somehow turn you straight." He gave a little chuckle.
Just then they heard Clark's dad walking up the stairs towards them. Lex pulled his hand away and slid over a little bit on the couch. "It's ok. I just heard everything. I'm glad you finally realized it, son. I was beginning to think I would have to tell you that you were gay. That would've been extremely awkward for me. But, I want you to know that I still love you even though you're gay."
Clark smiled, "Thanks, Dad."
"Oh and by the way, Lana's in the kitchen looking for you. Should I send her up here?"
"Yeah, sure." He looked at Lex who was staring at Clark.
"So should I tell her?"
"Oh, I'm sure she already knows, Clark. But, if you feel the need to get it out in the open then by all means go ahead."
Clark suddenly started laughing. "Did you know that you look kinda like a giant penis?"
"I do, do I? Well, feel free to rub my head." He said laughing but then stopped when he saw Lana standing there giving them both odd looks. Clark was in mid-reach to rub Lex's head when he turned around to see Lana.
"I'm sorry. I should go. You look like you have your hands full." She said with a smile as she began to turn away.
"No! Lana, wait. It's okay."
She turned back around. "You sure? I just wanted to make sure Whitney didn't kill you or anything."
Lex leaned back casually trying to look suave. "Come. Join me and Clark. You can rub my head, too, if you want."
"It's tempting but I think I'll pass. I have to get back to The Talon. One of the other waitresses bailed on me." She got up to leave.
"I'm gay." Clark blurted out before she had the chance to leave.
She turned around. "Oh, I know, Clark. But thanks for telling me." She left leaving Clark and Lex alone again.
"I told you she already knew." Lex said with a sly smile. "Now where were we? Ah, yes. You were about to rub my head." He leaned his head in so Clark could rub it.
"This doesn't feel right, Lex." He said although Lex's head was extremely tempting.
"What are you talking about, Clark? You're gay. Get used to it." He was getting frustrated. All he wanted was for Clark to rub his head. How hard is that?
"I know. But, I can't get Whitney out of my mind. I think I need to go talk to him." He got up and reached for his jacket.
Lex sighed heavily. "Fine, Clark."
Clark smiled and left.
Lex got up and started to walk down the stairs but was stopped by Clark's dad standing in his way. "I'll rub your head, Lex." He said seductively.
Lex raised his eyebrows. "Is everybody on this show gay?" He asked as he let Jonathan rub his head.
