CHAPTER 19
"I-It's quite a b-big bed." Clark said that evening unconvincingly as the two stare and stare some more at the bed from the door.
"A-and uh, there are p-pillows." He added as he rubbed his nape.
Lois yawned. "I'm cool with it, Canetown." She said and really she sound unimpressed.
"I'm tr-trying to have a pep talk to myself here woman!" Clark said rather testily.
"Oh wow." Lois said sarcastically grumpy since she is already tired. She was already crawling in bed, her bums in the air. "Whatever." She added before she settle on the right side of the bed.
Clark was trying very hard to be careful as he cautiously tiptoe towards his side of the bed. Then the door open with a loud bang, making Clark jump and then Jason strutted in looking cocky.
He took a running start and dive into the bed giggling. Clark watched as the boy burrowed in the blanket and snuggle at Lois' side.
"What are you waiting for? Turn off the light!" Jason screamed.
"Yes your highness" Clark answer drily as he did as ordered. Taking a deep breathe, he lift the blanket and slide in a-and wow, Jason was warm!
"Okey. So that's what I feel like as Superman." He thought, getting drowsy.
Sometimes during the night, Jason had turn and clung to Clark's waist and Lois was muzzling Clark's neck. Clark woke up, feeling the need to piss but quite reluctant to move yet.
He slowly reach and brush Lois's hair when the lady sobbed in her sleep. All the while, his eyes were hypnotized by the movement of the ceiling fan.
This is way better than hugging his damn picture frame. That's for sure.
When he slide back in after his bathroom break, he studied Lois' face to his heart's content. He feel at peace.
His bedroom is situated that on summer, it hit it just right for the morning sunlight to hit the bed. And while Jason and Clark instinctively face the sun for nourishment, Lois was hissing as she tried to hide from it, she quickly find a good hiding place in Clark's chest and grip Clark's tshirt tightly. They sleep on.
Martha took a picture of the three before she tiptoed out to have coffee with Ben. Ben laugh quietly when Martha triumphantly showed him the picture.
Later on, Clark woke up only because Jason unintentionally kick him in the stomach. Clark yawned and scratched his chest. He gently slide his arm underneath Lois who had been using it as a pillow.
He shook sleep off and almost yelled at how late it was. He gently shake Jason awake.
Jason woke up scowling at Clark. But when Clark asked him to help prepare breakfast in bed for Lois, he nodded and soften up. He allowed Clark to lift him in his arms.
It didn't cross their minds to even think about it. It just came natural to them.
Clark read the note from his parents about going out and so the three people have the house for themselves til 2pm.
Jason scampered toward the ref after playing with the dog for a bit and get eggs, bacon and milk for breakfast.
Clark tackle with the pots and pan and decided to reheat some of the leftovers as well.
~SECOND ARC
CHAPTER 20
FOUR Years Ago
"Will I see you around?" Lois asked, looking up at the Man of Steel who is floating above her at her home with Richard.
"Always." Superman promised before he shoot up faster than the eye could see and vanish with a sonic boom.
Lois sigh dreamily and her twinkling eye and the blush that cover her cheeks was what made Richard think with finality that it was over between them.
"R-richard!" She exclaimed a hand on her throat, doing a doubletake when she spied her fiance by the doorway looking at her with a hurt, betrayed look.
"We need to talk."
For two days, both Richard and Lois was glaringly absent from work and if asked, Perry would immediately assigned them to awful assignment. Clark who was stubborn keep asking and asking.
"Clark! She is your partner if you visit maybe she will tell you!" Perry yodelled finally losing his shit. It was also killing him not able to reveal what's goin on so that he can listen to advices but he was sworn to secrecy on two seperate occasion by Lois and Richard when they told him what's going on.
Superman had flown several times hoping to catch Lois but his x-ray vision came up empty. That broke him. Lois have disappeared on the face of the planet! He shied away from asking Richard on the few times he caught him drunk at home.
Clark went home that night, wondering if Superman can go to a police precint and file a missing person report. He was seriously thinking about it when he notice that the door of his home apartment is open.
Lois was sobbing as she curled into a foetal position on his couch. He realized that the girl was hiding under a goddamn lead-lined blanket. It could havebeen hilarious if it didn't annoy Superman so much
"Hey sweetheart." Clark said softly as he tried to slide the blanket off and find himself staring at Lois's leg. He sigh before he stand up and move on the other side of his couch and slide that part of the blanket as well. He will seriously freak if it's Lois legs again.
"Lois, what's wrong?" Clark asked upset that Lois is upset. He brushed her hair and tried to coax her to face him.
It was impossible but Lois seemed to shrink even smaller. "R-richard and I-i ended our r-relationship." She spilled out in a small voice.
"Oh." Clark answer guiltily having an inkling it was Superman's fault. "What h-happened?" Like a masochist, he wants to know.
Lois finally looked up at him after a bit of a struggle as she started to sit up. Clark shouldnt be surprise that Lois had a lead chainmail and a lead foilhat that fell. Harsh, dudette. No wonder Superman can't see you.
"Can you make s-sure that Su-superman can't hear us?" Lois said. Realizing that that is a stupid question, she corrected hastily. "Please Clark I need to spill this without Superman hearing it."
Clark exhale noisily and stood up before he walk towards the small balcony that he have near the kitchen. Lois watched him curiously.
Clark cupped his hand and boy, Lois realized her mild-mannered friend have quite a pair of lungs as he shouted, "Superman go away and leave me and Lois alone!"
Clark watched as Lois smile for the first time after her earlier sobbing at his antics. Encouraged he added, "And I think youre the reason why she is crying! You, you're a j-jackass!"
Lois yelped and rolled in laughter clearly entertained at the sight of Clark cursing. "Clark shook a fist at him!" She squeel.
"Huh? Why?" Clark was confused.
"It's how I tell him that I'm mad at him! It's -" she flushed red "- kinda our thing."
Clark eyes widen. He didn't know they had an "our" nevermind that Lois shaking her fist is how she signal that she is mad. He thought that she shook her fist just simply as a mannerism. Gesh,Lois!
Clark obeyed and then mirroring Lois's smile he went back to her side and said,"I-i'll get you some juice a-and can you get rid of your lead? You look uncomfortable."
Later in, the two friends enjoyed their drink and Clark told Lois the gossips going on at the office. Clark was itching to interrogate Lois about Richard and Superman but he knows Lois will only spill once she is good and ready.
Without warning droplet of tears falls onto Lois's cup of juice. And Clark was freaking out because Lois is silently crying. Lois wipe a few tears away before she blurted, "Oh God, Clark I'm so mess up. I am still in love with Superman!"
