Clark/Lex
Spoiler for Jitters
Clark looked over at Lex, wrapped in the cold, false embrace of his father, and frowned deeply. Pulling out of the warm, loving embrace of his own parents, Clark made his way determinedly over to the two Luthors. Lex saw him coming over, and with a flash of what Clark was sure was relief, pulled out his father's forced embrace, and smiled at Clark - the first real smile Clark had seen from him all day.
Clark came to a stop in front of Lionel, with just a quick glance at Lex to reassure himself that he was really OK, before turning to face the elder Luthor. Lionel glanced at him with a look of superior disdain, and this just strengthened Clark's resolve.
"Good afternoon Mr. Luthor. My name is Clark Kent, and I am-"
Lionel interupted him "The young man who saved those people - including my reckless son here. Thank you Kent." Clark gritted his teeth at that comment, and the tone Lionel got when he spoke of his son.
"Actually, I was going to say, I am the best friend of you so-called 'reckless' son. And I just wish you were as proud of him as I am. He saved our lives today Sir."
"Yes, well, that was then followed by him then having to be saved. And by you I believe."
"Yes Sir. I've saved him before, I saved him today, and I'd do it again."
Clark clenched his fists, as they had gone off-topic, and took a deep breath before saying, "Anyway, I did not come over to discuss that. I just wanted to tell you that I dislike you intensely."
Clark smirked internally at the twin looks of shock on the two Luthor's before continuing.
"I dislike the way you work and do business, and I dislike the way you treat people. But I hate the way you treat Lex. He doesn't deserve it."
At that, Clark brought his fist back, and, with less then half of his strength, punched Lionel Luthor square in the face. Lionel's head went back, and he crumpled to the floor at Clark's feet.
With a decisive nod at the crumpled heap that was the senior Luthor, Clark then turned to Lex. He took in the look of shock evident on Lex's face, but was too happy that Lex was alive and OK to address it. Then, with a deep breath, Clark straightened his shoulders, and walked up determinedly to Lex, then, without giving him a chance to stop him, Clark wrapped his arms around Lex and kissed him deeply, too glad that they were both OK - and also on a bit of a high after taking the senior Luthor down a peg, to care about the consequences.
