"So what do you have planned for our day off?" Lois asked as they cuddled in bed, not quite ready to get up yet. Clark gave a small shrug and was about to answer when his eyes flickered to the window.
"I was thinking we could go for a walk outside." He said with a broad smile on his face. She saw his eyes on the window and turned to see what he was looking at.
"It's snowing!" she exclaimed like an excited six year-old. She jumped out of the bed and pressed her palms to the cold window, watching the snow drift from the sky. "Let's go!"
"Right now?" Clark asked and she nodded vigorously in response. He chuckled at her childish antics. He slowly crawled out of bed to stand behind her. Encircling her waist with his arms, he pulled her back flush against his chest. "How about I make us breakfast first, or should I say lunch. It's already two o-clock." He stated as he placed a kiss on her shoulder where his flannel shirt had slipped slightly, revealing her smooth skin.
"Fine, I guess I can wait until after we eat." She said with an exasperated sigh before quickly turning around in his arms, pointing her finger at him a scolding manner, "but it better be a quick lunch, I want to play outside while it's still snowing."
"Yes ma'am." He saluted sarcastically. She smacked his chest in retaliation. He turned to go make lunch when she grabbed his arm and pulled him back toward her. When he was standing in front of her, with his hands resting on her waist and she slid her arms around his neck. One hand buried itself in his hair as she pulled him down to give him a quick kiss. As she started to pull away Clark moved his hand to the back of her head, keeping her lips on his. She smirked into his mouth, he was doing exactly what she wanted, as he deepened the kiss and pusher her against the window. A shiver ran down Lois's spine when her back came into contact with the cold glass and Clark moved impossibly closer to keep her warm. When the need for air became too great they pulled apart, panting while they rested their foreheads against one another. "So what was that for, not that I'm complaining." He clarified with a smug smile.
"I don't know." She shrugged. "Does a girl need a reason to kiss her boyfriend?"
"Definitely now." He responded quickly, making her laugh. "Now, let's have some lunch." He said. Taking a step away from her he scooped her up into his arms, bridal style, and super sped down to the kitchen. Clark placed Lois on the counter while he started cooking.
An hour later they had finished eating and were all bundled up, ready to face the cold and snow that awaited them.
"What do you want to do first, Lois?" Clark asked as they walked out the door.
"We should make a snowman." She declared. "Let's go, Smallville, move it or lose it." She urged while tugging him into the yard. They built their snowman and Clark was in the kitchen, grabbing a carrot, while Lois placed some pebbles on it for the eyes and mouth.
Clark finished wrapping his scarf around the snowman when he noticed Lois was drawing something on the snowman's midsection. He stood behind her, looking over her shoulder at what she was drawing. It was the Superman symbol.
"See, he looks just like you!" she exclaimed, standing up to admire her handy work. Clark just let out a small laugh as he examined the snowman. Lois had posed the snowman so it was looking up and to the right and she managed to find two bent sticks for its arms, that were placed so it looked like its hands were perched on its hips. "Hey Clark." Lois called to him, tearing him from his thoughts. He turned to look at her and was rewarded with a snowball to the face. Clark could hear Lois's cackling laughter as he brushed the snow off of his face.
"This means war Lane!" he laughed, making his own snowball.
"Oh, I'm shaking in my boots." She proclaimed sarcastically. She laughed when his snowball just missed her, flying past her ear. They continued their snowball fight, chasing each other around the farm until it started getting dark. Clark grabbed Lois and sped them to the loft in the barn where they watched the sun set from the couch.
"This is nice." Clark mumbled into her hair as she snuggled deeper into his warm embrace.
"It's peaceful." She agreed as she shivered.
"Let's go back to the house and get you warmed up." He suggested, super speeding them back to the house and sitting Lois in front of the fireplace, which he started with his heat vision. He walked into the kitchen and returned a minute later with a hot chocolate in each hand. Lois eagerly wrapped her hands around the warm mug. Clark sat next to her and placed his arm around her shoulder, pulling her close. "How are you feeling?"
"Nice and toasty warm." She sighed contentedly, leaning her head against his shoulder. "Thanks, for today, Smallville. It was perfect."
"Any time Lois." He mumbled into her hair, placing a kiss on the crown of her head. "But it's not over yet." She looked up at him curiously at the statement. "Do you remember, after Lana started dating Lex and you told me about how I should save my feelings, like you do when you're saving money for a bike?"
"Yeah, and I told you that when you finally crack open that piggybank you might find that you haven't been saving for a bike, you've really been saving for a Harley." She confirmed, looking up into his eyes.
"Well you are my Harley, Lois. You are absolutely amazing, and I know I should have noticed it sooner but, ever since I met you I have been fallin' for you…What I'm trying to say is, Lois Lane, will you marry me?" he asked, pulling out a small velvet box from his pocket. He opened it to reveal a simple, yet beautiful diamond engagement ring. Lois gasped at the simple jewel, giving him a tearful nod in response. Clark could not have been happier as he slipped the ring onto her finger.
