First go at writing a Smallville fic. Hopefully it's not too
rubbish. Comments would be really appreciated. Thanks. Also the
beginning was inspired by Friends.
Clark Kent: Gay?
Chapter
1: Alien Invasion, Clues and other things
"Smallville, I know"
"You know what?" Clark put down the spanner and focused his attention on Lois, waiting for an elaboration.
"I knooooooow" Lois raised her eyebrows at him, as if suddenly expecting him to have a clue to what she was talking about.
"Whaaaaaaat?" he replied, drawing out his letters as Lois had just done a moment ago.
"The reason why you and Lana broke up" Miss Lane finally dropped the bombshell and received the reaction she had been anticipating.
Clark froze. He felt the similar symptoms of kryptonite overtaking him but as he staggered backwards into the wall he realized that there were no pieces of kryptonite near him at all. It was the revelation that Lois Lane knew his secret. If Lois knew then so would all of Metropolis by tomorrow morning. He could just see the various headlines now: 'OUR OWN LITTLE GREEN MARTIAN', 'CLARK KENT MORE THAN JUST A FARMBOY', 'ALIEN INVASION!' It was like a redux of the Linda Lake fiasco. No. . . Lois wouldn't do that to him; Lois was his friend. Sure they weren't the stereotypical sort of friends who hugged each other regularly and shared everything, but they were still friends. He had to get a grip on himself. He needed to think and fast if he wanted to get out of this situation unscathed. Clark straightened himself up, an air of confidence settling over him though inside he was all butterflies.
"I think everyone knows that Lois. I simply don't love her anymore. It's not earth shattering news" he said, playing it cool.
"Ah. So you would lead us all to believe. But I did homework. No guy especially a horny adult at that just dumps a smart, pretty girl who was ready to give up the world for him. So I did some digging and followed the trail of clues that I conveniently found left by you. I found the cleverly concealed secret. Now I know." The brunette recited as if she had been rehearsing this whole speech on the journey to the Kent's; which she actually had. Nevertheless it had paid off.
"What clues? What concealed secret? I think you're over analysing this Lois. There was no attraction anymore between me and Lana so I had to end it. That's all." Clark repeated trying to convince her whole heartedly.
"Shut it Smallville. You know I'm right. I just can't believe I didn't see it before"
"See what before? What the hell are you on about? I think you've finally cracked Lois. I was wondering when it was going to happen, especially with all the pressure of uni. Chloe owes me 30 dollars" he tried yet again to steer her from this particular subject.
"Didn't I tell you to shut up? Come on Smallville. It's time you came out the closet"
"It's time I came out the . . . . what?" The man of steel asked surprised, this conversation was leading into a very strange direction. One he could see but couldn't quite believe.
"Smallville, just admit it. You're gay."
