Lex and Clark: The New Adventures of Clex
By: LuckyClexFlowers
Chapter One: An Evening at Home
After a particularly long and tiring day at LexCorp, Alexander Kent Luthor
shuts his computer screen down and hits the intercom.
"I'll be heading home for the evening Tamara and I'm turning my ringer off.
If anything comes up I expect you are more than capable of dealing with it."
"Yes sir, Mr. Luthor. Have a good evening." The intercom goes dead and with
a smile he grabs his jacket and locks the office door behind him.
Arriving home half an hour later with two piping hot large boxes of pizza in his arms, he finds his family in the large kitchen. Lena sits at the counter, her pale and pretty face focused on some school work as Clark stands beside her, chewing on the eraser of a pencil.
"Everything looks okay to me sweetie. Just a few minor spelling mistakes, fix
those and you should be golden."
His heart swells to see them, and his violet-gray eyes twinkle happily as he enters the room and sets the pizzas on the counter. "I told Tamara that I'm taking the evening off to
spend it with my wonderful family! It's been so long since the three of us
have been able to actually all sit down to have dinner at the same time
together."
"Alexi!" Lena slides off her stool and rushes over to wrap her little arms
around him, her lilac eyes bright and shining happily. "And pizza!" She squeals.
"That's great Babe!" Clark joins Lena, wrapping his big arms around the both
of them and kissing Lex on his cheek. "Its about time we have some family
moments."
Lex smiles and hugs them back, feeling complete and loved with his family at
his side. "Absolutely now what say we eat and then all go into the media room and watch
a movie and I'll even make the popcorn."
Lena's dances over to the cabinets to take down some plates which she sets out on the counter. Clark opens the first box and places a slice on each plate.
Lena claps in excitement as she takes a bite of her pizza. "Oh! Can we watch
the X men movie? The new one?"
Lex's nose crinkles in thought. "I don't know if that's such a good idea?
There's a lot of violence in that one. And add all that.."He clears his throat and
shoots a glance to Clark who has already devoured two slices of pizza and still chewing is reaching for his third. "...well a certain type of tension between the two
main characters?"
"But..." Lena looks pleadingly at her big brother, pizza sauce dots her chin.
"I just don't think it's appropriate for a twelve year old little girl." Lex frowns and hands his sister a napkin.
"Hey, how about Cheaper by the Dozen?" Clark chimes in as he brings over two cold cans of Pepsi and a blue glass bottle of water for Lex from the fridge. "Its a comedy and it really has that hot Tom Welling guy in there." He pops the top on his soda and takes a lenghty swig. Then leans in to whisper to Lex, "I know what you mean about the tension. They really should properly rate that movie."
Lex glares at Clark as he untwists the cap to his water and mumbles, "He may be hot but you don't need to mention it."
Clark shrugs sheepishly. "I'm just saying."
"Besides as it happens, I just picked up a new foreign educational film all
about Alexander the Great that I thought Lena might enjoy."
"Oh God." Clark groans and shakes his head.
Lex gives his husband a baffled look. "What? What's wrong with it? It's done
all in French and the cinematography is said to be really stunning."
"Its just..." He tries to think of something quickly to argue.
Lex being completely oblivious looks at him confused, "Just...what?"
"Its...its...way too historical for everybody. Don't you think? I mean, why not
pick something not so uh...heavy."
"Oh." Lex nods, finally getting it. "Okay, well then pick something
else...anything but cheaper by the dozen, I don't want to sit here watching
you drooling over some other man the entire time." He narrows his eyes at
his lover.
"But Lex, weren't you making eyes at Michael Rosenbaum on Sorority Girls?"
Clark's green eyes glint with amusement.
Lex looks away and coughs. "I have no idea what you're talking about.
Michael Rosenbaum... which one was that?"
Clark grins. "The one in the blonde wig."
Lex coughs again and smiles bashfully. "Oh Clark don't be silly." He waves
his hand. "We both know that blondes just don't do it for me."
Clark snickers and rolls his eyes.
"No, really!" He defends.
Watching them Lena just shakes her head. "I really don't want to know. But
anyway, can we please watch the documentary? It will really help me with
my report."
Lex grins widely and holds back the urge to stick his tongue out at Clark.
"That's my girl!"
"Please Clark?" She pouts and uses the puppy eyes.
"Besides, who said we only have to watch one movie? We can watch
whatever you want next Clark." Lex pauses to think, "Well...anything other
than Cheaper by the Dozen."
"Fine." He sighs and shakes his head, following them into the media room.
"Yay!" Lena exclaims as she runs into the room and jumps onto the massive,
black leather couch.
Lex hands Lena the DVD with a chuckle. "Okay sweetie, you put the movie in
and I will go pop the corn!"
"Gotcha big brother!" She puts the disc into the DVD player and grabs the
remote control. Then bouncing back down onto the couch she pats the seat
beside her. "Come on Clark, sit next to me."
Lex smiles as he heads out of the room to go make popcorn.
Clark slumps down onto the couch beside Lena. "I hope there are at least
English subtitles this time." He grumbles.
"Hmm...I don't know. I doubt it, Alexi says that's cheating. And besides Clark,
you know French!" She chuckles.
Clark grins. "That's not the point."
Lena just shakes her head, "If you say so." She runs to the door to call into
the hallway, "Hurry Alexi, there are hungry people here!"
Lex chuckles and calls back from the kitchen. "You just put down almost an
entire large pizza all by yourself and a whole can of soda! I don't think you're
in any danger of collapse!" He pours a generous amount of melted butter
over the hot popcorn.
"Hey, I didn't eat all that pizza! It was Clark!" She points to Clark who glares
at her and she giggles.
"If you say so..." He chuckles as he sprinkles some sea salt into the bowl.
"I do say so!"
Lex comes back into the room carrying a humongous bowl of buttered
popcorn. Lena snatches a piece and takes her place beside Clark with a huge
grin. Lex smiles as he flicks out the light and then places the warm bowl of
popcorn in Clark's lap as he sits beside him. "All right...showtime start it up
Lena!" He takes a small pinch of popcorn and starts to nibble. The movie
comes to life with a loud fanfare and the narrator begins to speak, telling a
brief overview of the history, in French.
Clark takes a deep breath and rolls his eyes. "Oh joy." But he grins and wraps
an arm around each of them.
Lex snuggles against Clark and leans in to whisper in his ear. "Don't worry
love, I've got a very special movie for just the two of us after Lena goes to
bed."
Clark's face lights up, "Oh I like it. What movie are we planning to see, my
luv?"
Lena's attention is completely glued to the screen, completely focused on
trying to make out the French. Lex reaches over for a handful of popcorn
from Clark's lap and holding a piece up to his lovers raspberry lips he smirks
"Well let's just say that you'll never be able to look at whipped cream again
without blushing."
Clark licks the popcorn from Lex's hand and a small blush begins to form on
his cheeks. "I like. Lets have the whip cream waiting for us in the bedroom."
He whispers conspiratorially back.
"Chocolate or regular angel?" He quirks an eyebrow, his eyes twinkling in the
flickering light.
"I prefer original" Clark smirks.
"Whatever flavor you like...afterall, you're the one who's going to be eating
it." He winks and is about to place a kiss to the corner of Clark's buttery lips
when his phone vibrates in his pocket. He scowls and growls into the phone.
"This had better be damned important or you'll be lucky to have a job as a toll
booth..." He frowns as he listens. Then letting with a sigh he says, "Alright, I'll
be right there." He hangs up and crams the phone back into his pocket.
Clark eyeing his husband carefully, groans. "Who was that? Please tell me its
not work related."
"I wish it was." He pinches the bridge of his nose. "I have to go take care of
something."
"Alexi!" Lena pouts and glares at him.
He looks apologetically at the both of them as he rises to his feet. "I'm sorry
but it really can't wait."
Clark groans again and shakes his head. "Alright. Well we'll wait for you.
Lena could you please take the movie out for me? Thank you."
"No don't worry about it. No need to ruin everyone's evening. You two watch
the movie and I will try to be back in time to tuck Lena in."
"You sure? Because we can wait. I don't think anyone's going to mind."
Lena continues to pout.
"I'm sure, you two go ahead and finish the movie." He kisses his sister on the
cheek and ruffles her long auburn hair. "Enjoy your movie sweetie and you
can tell me all about it when I get home, okay?"
"Yeah, okay." She mumbles.
Clark stands to walk his husband to the door. With a sigh, Lex grabs his
jacket and his leather attaché case and makes his way to the door. He grabs
Clark by the collar and yanks him in for a brief but passionate kiss. "Make
sure you don't forget to take the whipped cream up to bed with you tonight
for when I get home." He purrs into his ear, and with a smirk he leaves his
husband on the doorstep.
Lena rushes to stand beside Clark as Lex's car begins to pull out of the driveway. "Bye Alexi. Be safe! And dont work too late! And no driving too fast with you car. Remember the bridge? Make sure to wear your jacket it's getting cold and..* She calls out after the red tail lights that are getting smaller and smaller until they are completely swallowed up by the darkness.
"Come on, let's go finish that movie." Clark places a hand on Lena's shoulder as he turns to go back inside.
"I hope he's safe." She says as they shut and lock the door behind them.
"Me too," Clark whispers worredly, having heard the name Lionel Luthor from the mysterious caller on the other end of the line. Nobody is ever safe when Lionel Luthor is involved. He places his hand on Lena's shoulder, not wanting her to worry he smiles. "I'm sure it's nothing to worry about. Lex will probably just yell at some incompetent workers for screwing up whatever it is they've managed to screw up, fix the problem and then before you know it, he'll home."
Lena's not so sure and with a sigh she shakes her head. "I hope you're right Clark."
