Title: Pit Bull and Boy Scout (I had trouble with the title...)
"Smallville?" Lois asked as she entered the barn.
"Up here." He called from up in the loft.
"What are you doing up here? It's freezing!" She said as she rounded the corner of the stairs.
"No one said you had to come out here." He mumbled.
She punched his shoulder as she sat down on the couch. "Oh lighten up!"
He scoffed at her.
"So… I'm bored." She huffed out.
"So Mom and Dad got sick of you and sent you out here."
"Well… Your mom caught me raiding their wine collection. Anyways… They won't give me any… So do you want to play a game I just thought of?" She gave him puppy eyes.
He tried his best to ignore her pleading eyes. "Why didn't you go to Metropolis with Chloe?"
"I didn't feel like following her around on her mystery date, and don't ask she wouldn't give me any details, she kept them under lock and key. Anyways… do you want to play this New Year's game with me or not?"
Maybe if I play this game she will leave me alone. "Alright, Alright."
"Yes!" She smiled brightly at him. "Okay, it's pretty simply, I'm going to write a list of New Year's resolutions list for you and you're going to the same for me."
"Smallville I can feel your breath on my neck, stop cheating!"
He shifted in his seat, "I wasn't cheating… are you done yet?"
"Almost. This list is going to be perfect for you." She smiled at her work. "Alright, let's go every other. You first."
"Okay. Number one, I will not say negative comments directed towards other's anymore."
Not likely." Alright yours is to, not chase after someone else girlfriend anymore."
"I do not chase after anyone else girlfriend!"
"Yes, you do. She is cute, innocent, and wears pastel colors way too often.
Clark grimaced. "Okay number two, I will no longer be a back seat driver when Clark is driving."
Lois couldn't help her bubble of laughter. "What kind of New Year's resolution is that?"
"One that will make my life easier."
"Like we are even in the car together that much… Okay number two for Clark, I will stop 'the weight of the world is on my shoulders' persona."
Clark raked his hands through his hair. "You know… I don't really feel like playing this game anymore." He stood up and walked over to the window, and glanced up at the night sky.
Lois sat on the couch studying him, and then she got up and walked over to him."What's up with you?"she asked with her back to the window her face studying his.
"I guess I have just been thinking about my decisions over this past year, and I'm not really proud of them."
"See? There you go with the 'weight of the world' thing. Smallville I think you just need to loosen up a bit."
Clark sighed. Lois would never understand."Clark you can't control the world anymore than I can, when bad things happen you have to do all you can and then you have to brush yourself off and get back on the horse. Now I don't know what 'decision' were but obliviously it couldn't have been that terrible because you have two people less than 100 feet of here who completely love you. Not many people can say that." Clark smiled; he did have the best parents. "You're a real Debbie Downer… did you know that?" She said facing him. Lois smiled at his smile.
"Thanks Lois, for reminding me of the important things." He nudged her playfully.
"Any time Boy Scout." She punched his shoulder. He wrinkled his face at her.
"Boy Scout?"
"Sure, you're the All-American son." She shrugged her shoulders.
He smiled. "I guess I should call you Pit bull then."
"Pit Bull?" She glared at him.
"Yeah, you're like a pit bull you can never let anything go. And they are tough and smart and fierce looking" He shrugged at her.
"So you are saying I look like a big ugly pit bull?"
"What, no… you're Lois… you're…" Clark stammered. Beautiful… What? Lois isn't beautiful… she is annoying and rude and… Beautiful. SHUT UP! He grimaced at himself.
She huffed out a large breath. "You really are annoying, you know that?" She said as she walked down the stairs and out of the barn. "I need alcohol." She mumbled to herself as she rubbed her face with her hands.
I really shot myself in the foot with that one. Clark sighed.
I hope you enjoyed it... Not my greatest work... but I hope you enjoyed it! Tomorrow's title: ? These new year's drabbles are giving my troubles when it comes to naming them. I'll just tell you it's "Present" Time. :)
