Title: Blue Eyes Green Eyes

Disclaimer: Not mine. I think we have some aspirin though…

Feedback: If you think it's worth it, I'd be honoured.

A/N: This is completely silly, I'm aware. I randomly wrote it for Inkstain one day at college when I was bored in a free period, and it's not really very good. Then ending sucks for one thing. I think Clark comes across as a bit too dim as well, but I was just wanted to show the two of them doing something other than angsting, which seems to be all I am able to write. Therefore this materialised. It's probably just me that thinks it's cute, but you decide.

I am also well aware that Tom's eyes *really* aren't exactly green. However, they're close enough, and "Blue Eyes Hazel Eyes" doesn't have quite the same ring to it. ^_^

This story is dedicated to all the other people in the world who have trouble with child proofed lids, as I do. *hangs head in shame* I'm such a ninny.

Blue eyes shone with amusement.

'See, this is what I don't understand, if you were dealing with an oil spill, you could pick up the tanker with your bare hands, fly it into space, then burn off the spilt oil with your heat vision and still be home before me, and yet this, *this* you have trouble with?'

'It's evil, Lex, I'm telling you. I mean, who would *create* such an – abomination? They had to be some kind of evil genius.' Green eyes narrowed. 'Are you sure you had nothing to do with it?'

Blue eyes tried for indignation, but just ended up amused again.

'I'm sure I haven't the slightest clue what you're implying.'

'Don't play innocent with me. Every other week I'm having to save Metropolis from whatever technological terror you've constructed. Only someone like you could come up with something as diabolical as this.'

'It's a bottle of aspirin, Clark.'

'Exactly! Aspirin – everybody needs Aspirin. Why put something everyone needs in a bottle which nobody can open?'

'People *can* open it, Clark. Your startling incompetence at this most simple of tasks is the exception, not the norm.'

Green eyes frowned.

'What's with this lid, anyway?'

Blue eyes retained their amusement under raised brows.

'It's child proof, Clark.'

'But we haven't *got* a child.'

'This is true, but we have a Clark, and apparently it's proofed against them as well. You have to push it down as you twist if off.'

Green eyes widened.

'At the same time? Well what good is that if you've got such a bad head you can't see straight?'

Blue eyes actually managed indignation this time.

'I can see perfectly straight.'

'Yep, about as straight as you do everything else.'

'Very funny. Anyway, *who* says I can't see straight?'

'You did. Right after you curled up in my lap like a weird bald cat or something and whined at me to get you the aspirin.'

'Yeah, how's that going by the way?'

'...'

'Bald cats exist, you know. They're called Sphinx cats, they're supposed to be good pets – very affectionate.'

'Lex, is there any part of your brain which isn't full of generally useless information?'

'I'll have you remember that this is the brain which knows how to open the bottle of aspirin.'

'Point taken.'

Green eyes squinted in concentration, then widened again in surprise and triumph.

'There you are - one aspirin. Let's hope we don't have to go through that again any time soon.'

Blue eyes glinted above a barely repressed smile.

'You know, Clark, people generally take two of these.'

Green eyes gleamed with something like fear.

'You mean – okay, okay, I've got it now. It won't take a minute.'

Blue eyes fell shut.

'Maybe I'll just sleep it off this time.'
