Newsflash
-Drabble-
"Lois, will you stop?" Chasing after her, still dressed in his blue and red tights, he frowned. "I was going to tell you!"
She whirled around angrily. "When, Clark? Because last time I checked, we were in a serious relationship! Or at least I was with a too-nice-for-his-own good, plaid wearing farmboy-slash-reporter!"
He sighed, putting his hands on his hips. "It was a heavy subject, I just... I wanted to make sure you were ready."
"Right." She nodded. "So this was all for my benefit? Of course." She rolled her eyes. "Look, I'm tired. Don't you have a tall building to go leap?"
Persistent, he stepped forward, wrapping his arms around her tightly, not letting her wiggle herself away from him. He rested his chin on top of her head lightly. "I was going to tell you. I promise. I just wanted to be sure that what we had was strong enough." He sighed. "I didn't want to risk losing you."
She closed her eyes tightly, swallowing back her emotions. "And when was this great moment going to happen?" she muttered.
He ducked his head so his mouth was against her ear. "Some time in between telling you I love you and asking you to marry me."
She went rigid for a moment and then relaxed. "Am I marrying the farmboy from Smallville or the tights-wearing Superman?"
He smiled. "Both."
"Right... So I'm marrying a guy with multiple-personality disorder..." She turned around in his arms, lips quirking at the corners. "I think I can do that."
Grinning, he leaned down to seal the deal with a kiss.
She lifted a finger, eyes widening. "But don't think that just because you've got the tights and the celebrity that you're the boss around here. Because newsflash Smallville-"
Laughing, he kissed her to shut her up. And she let him.
