Always There For You
First of all…I'm loving season 9 and have nothing to complain about what is happening with Clois.
This is totally an AU story with some elements from Smallville. Clark is a kryptonian and has his powers. Lois comes to Smallville with her mother and her little sister after the first meteor shower because of her parents divorce. Her mother is still alive in this story, her relationship with her father is the same, they don't talk much, the General seems to forgot he is a father after the divorce =D
Description: Clark and Lois have been best friends since they were kids. Their relationship always have been completely open, Lois knows Clark's secret and support him every time he needs.
PG: I don't know yet…maybe NC-17
Chapter 1
"Come on Lo! We are gonna be late for our first day, Clark is already waiting for us."
"I know, I know, I just have to find something Clark asks me to bring to him"
"Tell me what you are looking for so we can help."
"That's none of your business Lucy, if I wanted help I would have asked."
"Hey, calm down...I was just trying to help. No need to be rude"
Lois roll her eyes.
"Come on Lucy, let's wait for her outside." Chloe says.
Chloe and Lucy get out of the house and Lois continues to look for Clark's old box.
She sat on the bed when she found it and open remembering the day he gave the bracelet to her, he need someone to keep this for him and no one better than Lois for the job, he trust her with his soul, she is his best friend - friend. For a while now just being friends isn't enough for her. It's hard to feel things everyday about someone and don't be corresponded and today is going to even harder. Today she is going to give it back to him. He is finally having the courage to tell the girl of his dreams about himself and how much he loves her. The bracelet is supposed to be given to his soulmate.
The corner of her eyes start to burning with tears. It's going to be too painful but she is his best friend she'll never let him down, even if she has to break her heart.
She knows she has no right to cry, she always knew that he is in love with Lana Lang. He never gave her any hope. She knew it.
Lois keeps asking herself why he loves Lana so much, he barely talk to her. She thinks his love for Lana is based on an image he has, he used to look at her house every night from his loft with his telescope. He sees Lana like she is an angel but the true is she is completely different from Clark, she is a cheerleader, the kind a futile one. A popular girl while he is just a normal boy, the powers he has doesn't make him different from anyone, he is just Clark, her Smallville.
Getting out of her thoughts she heard Chloe calling for her. Whipping the last tear and putting the bracelet in her purse she headed to the car. They are already late.
They arrive at school 15 minutes later. Lucy runs after her boyfriend while Chloe and Lois watch Clark standing at the stars waiting for them.
"Hey Clark!" Chloe says.
"Hey Chlo, Pete is waiting for you at the torch."
"Thanks, see you guys later."
With that she lives Clark and Lois alone.
Clark seems to note something is different with Lois today, she is quiet. She is always so talkative, always playing jokes with him, today something is different.
"Hi Lo." He gave her a hug.
Lois tried to control herself and not cry, she hate being weak. She promise herself after her father left home when she was six that she would never cry in public again. Recomposing herself she answered him.
"Hi Smallville, I brought what you asked me. Are you sure you are still doing this? Because look…" He doesn't let her finish.
"I'm sure Lo. I've never been so sure about anything in my life, even if my parents don't approve."
For Clark his parents don't approving the girl he loves is something that hurts. They think he is being precipitated about Lana. He doesn't know her enough to make this huge step about telling her the true. He always did what his parents told him to. Today will be the first day he is going to make something on his own. Thank God Lois is there for him! She is the best friend ever, he doesn't know what he will do without her.
Lois let a heavy sigh.
"Okay…" She say unsure.
"Any problems Lo? Is there something you want to tell me?" Clark asks.
"Hum…no, of course not. It's just…" She almost let all slip.
"Just what?" Clark asked.
"Nothing. Here, Clark." Lois gave the bracelet box to him. "I have to go. I'm late for my class. See you later. Bye."
With that she run away from there. Clark stayed staring at her wondering what happened to make her act like that with him. There is always jokes between them, today things is being strange.
Clark found Chloe in his way for the Torch.
"Chloe! Is anything wrong with Lo? She seems sad today."
Even if Lois doesn't tell her she knows exactly what her problem is, Clark and her hidden feelings for him. Chloe notice this a long time ago, she always notice Lois interaction with him, the way she looks at him. She loves him, and Clark only has eyes for Lana Lang.
It's time to help her cousin a little.
"Hmm..I don't know exactly what happened but I know there is a guy involved."
"A GUY?"
Chloe tried to hide a smile, this is the reaction she expect from him.
"Yeah…you know Lois is a beautiful woman, Clark, it's normal if she date guys."
"I know…hmm…she never told anything about that for me, I thought we are friends."
"You are Clark, you are her best friend."
"Then why didn't she tell me?"
"Oh Clark did you give her the chance? I'm sorry but I have to say this. I've seem you for a while now and the only thing you seem to think is Lana. It's all about her and how you feel, I think Lois doesn't want to bother you talking about her problems."
"I was that bad with her?" Clark asked.
"You were not bad Clark, you just have to look outside your world sometimes and see what is around you."
"I suck as a friend. It's time to apologize for Lois and be there for her. Thanks for your advice Chlo. I'll talk to Lois after class. Thanks again."
"That's nothing! Just see Lois more closely for a while…You will be surprised! I have to go now, see you later."
"Bye Chloe."
When the alarm announced the end of the day classes, Lois went straight away from school. She didn't want to see Clark. All she need is to be alone for a while.
She went to an old place she and Clark used to play when they were kids. The place where she found out about Clark's powers. She remember that he was so afraid when she shows up when he was lifting a huge stone, he was learning about his powers at the time and thought that she was going to tell everyone about what she saw. He was completely wrong, since that day they are best friends, she accepted him for who he is.
He is the most amazing guy she ever known, powers or no powers. She was a lonely girl before she meets him. He showed her what friendship was like. Why she had to starts having feelings for him? It was her fault things get complicated for her. He never did or said anything to give her hope. Why she has to be so stupid?
At the time she let the tears falling, that was the only thing she could do at the time.
Crying for what she wants more and can never have.
