Lois sighed. She was getting bored up here. She had no one to argue with, since Clark was at school and wouldn't be home for another two hours.
Why do I know how many hours he's going to be home in? Lois thought.
She shook the thought of Clark out of her head and stumbled towards the bathroom.
I might as well take a shower.
Clark sat in his physics class staring at the clock. All he wanted to do was go home and take a nap in his bed. He thought of
his bed and began to feel drowsy. Until he remembered who was inhabiting it. He let out an inner groan.
Two more hours and I get to go home to Lois, he thought bitterly.
She was the reason he was so tired right now.
I need to drug her. So she shuts up at night, he thought as his teacher droaned on.
Lois eyed the clock. One more hour.
Gives me enough time to go through some of his things, she thought as she began rummaging through his closet.
Clark banged his head into his locker door. He was too tired.
Just one more class, he thought.
"Someone looks like they stayed up late." said Lana coming up behind him.
"Huh? Yeah. Lois. Wouldn't. Shut. Up." he said.
"Oh... She's staying with you?" Lana asked.
Clark noted the surprise in her voice.
"Yeah. She's sick." he said as he grabbed his book from his locker.
"Oh. Well tell her to get better." said Lana as she walked off.
"Yeah." replied Clark as he walked to his next class.
She better not be going through my stuff, he thought.
"OOOooo!" Lois exclaimed as she popped up holding up a pair of Clark's boxers. Flannel. Go figure.
She jumped as she heard the door swing open downstairs. She quickly stuffed the contents of Clark's closet back into it and threw herself across the bed as Clark walked through the doorway.
"What were you doing?" Clark asked suspiciously as he put his bag down.
"What? I was taking a nap."
Clark strode over to his closet and stood in front of it facing Lois. Lois smiled confidently. Clark yawned, rubbing his eyes.
"Tired?" Lois asked.
Clark gave her a lopsided look.
Of course I'm tired. What with you running your mouth all night long not letting me sleep. Clark dropped into the chair, stifling another yawn.
"That obvious?" he asked.
His head began to roll dangerously to the side.
Wow.. He looks like he's about to pass out. Lois thought.
Clark stood up staggering.
"Sleep. Couch." he said as he stumbled out of the room.
Clark kicked off his shoes and buried himself under the blankets. He fell asleep before he heard Lois creeping down the steps in her bunny slippers.
