Like You Do
It was about 7:30 when Clark looked toward Oliver and Jimmy. They shared a knowing look and nodded. Clark turned back to Lois, "Meet me outside in ten minutes." He told her, giving her a peck on the cheek before walking away. Lois was thoroughly confused. She made her way over to Tess and Chloe who looked to be just as confused as her.
"What are those boys up to?" Lois asked as she approached them.
"I'm not sure, but they better know that if they are trying to prank us they'll get what they give." Tess said. Lois and Chloe nodded in agreement. Ten minutes later they went outside to see what the boys were up to. They were barely two steps out of the barn when they were pelted with water balloons. "They are so dead." Tess huffed before chasing Oliver. Chloe followed her lead and went after Jimmy. Lois was about to go searching for Clark when she felt a presence behind her. She turned around and instinctively grabbed the raised arm, effectively stopping Clark from smashing a water balloon onto her head.
"What do you think you're doing, Smallville." She asked the smirking boy. His only response was squeezing the balloon in his hand, letting the water fall over her head. "You're dead, Smallville!" he started running away but Lois kicked his feet out from under him and he fell onto his back. Before he could get up Lois went over to him and straddled his torso.
"Lois, what…" he saw her pull out a sharpie, "where…"
"Oh, please, Smallville. It was obvious you boys were up to something so we decided to prepare for our retaliation." She explained, writing on his shirtless chest. When she was done, she got up to admire her handy work. PROPERTY OF LOIS LANE was written over his heart. "I like that. You should make that permanent." She smiled broadly at him and he rolled his eyes.
"All this because I threw a few water balloons at you?" she nodded enthusiastically at his question. He went to grab his shirt that was lying outside the barn door.
"Oh no you don't, Smallville." She said, grabbing his arm. "You have to show that off for the rest of the day, so people know you are mine." She smirked at him.
"I think people already know that, you've got him wrapped around your little finger." Oliver cracked as he walked up to the couple.
"You're one to talk, Oliver." Clark returned, turning around to face him. Both he and Lois started cracking up at the sight of Oliver. Written all across his front from his right hip to his left shoulder was, I BEG FOR MERCY.
"Of all the things you could write on me, why would you write this?" Oliver asked Tess, gesturing to his chest.
"Because it's hilarious." She smiled to him. "Where's Chloe and Jimmy?" she asked, looking around for them.
"We're right here." Chloe announced coming up to the group, holding Jimmy's hand.
"What'd Chloe write on you?" Clark asked after his laughing subsided. Jimmy lifted the sleeve of his shirt to reveal a heart. Inscribed in the heart was CO & JO.
"Why do you get the nice girlfriend?" Oliver whined, "Ow!" he exclaimed when Tess hit him. He turned to glare at her but the glare she gave scared him, "Alright, I guess I deserve that. Clark why don't you grab a football and we can play for a bet before the fireworks start."
They were playing for about an hour when Clark threw the ball to Chloe, only to have it go over her head. She went after it, when she found it someone had already picked it up. "Lana?" Chloe asked, surprised to see her after what happened with the super suit. "What are you doing here?"
"What? I'm not allowed to see my friends?" Lana laughed.
"Hey Chloe what's taking so long?" Clark yelled from where she left him. Chloe grabbed the ball from Lana and threw it to Clark.
"Seeing as how one of your friends has become seriously allergic to you, I just thought a heads up would be good." Lana smiled at Chloe's concern and smiled even brighter, she looked like she was ready to burst, "Lana, you look like you're going to explode with happiness. What's up?"
"I've been cured!" she exclaimed, Chloe was dumbfounded. "Clark and I can be together now! No more Kryptonite overdose, no more superpowers, just plain old Lana Lang."
"Um…I don't know what to say." Although Chloe was glad that Lana was back to normal, she didn't know how to tell her about Clark and Lois. Quite frankly, she didn't want Lana to know. She was afraid she would try to break them apart.
"I know! Isn't it great?" she asked and Chloe gave an uneasy laugh and nod as a response. "So how has Clark been?" she asked, staring past Chloe to the man in question and Chloe followed her gaze.
They watched as Oliver passed the ball to Clark but Lois intercepted it. Clark was shocked at first but then a smile crept onto his face and chased after her. He caught up to her quickly, grabbed her by the waist, and spun her around. She shrieked in surprise. He kept spinning her until he was sure she was really dizzy and placed her back on the ground, she stumbled into his chest. He laughed at her lack of control and she stuck her tongue out at him. He smiled down at her as he brushed a stray hair out of her face and leaned down to kiss her. She dropped the football and wrapped her arms around his neck, happily returning the kiss. Lana's jaw dropped at the sight.
"Clark's been great." Chloe answered her question.
