A/N: This story is currently , like all my others, also being posted on Kryptonsite. This is a co-authored fic with LouLou26 who is also here on Fanfiction. Look her up!

Author's Notes:

Laura: Well now that Back To Your Heart is starting to come to an end, I was chatting with Jen a while back and we came up with an idea to start a fic of our own. We wanted to do something that wasn't about S9 or 10 and since I miss writing the earlier timeframe fics, we came up with this. And from our planning sessions, I can tell you, you're in for a real treat. I really hope you enjoy it. Jen, its awesome writing with you, I am super excited to be doing this, and I love this story already.

Jen: This fic idea is born out of friendship and Clois love.. We've been wanting to do this for a while now and I can't speak for Laura but I am ultra excited to collab with her, my writing buddy, and to do a story that has pre s9 Clois and many other things which I can't say.. *snickers* I hope we can give you all a great ride.

With many thanks – Jenny

And now onto the full summary.

From the authors of the best selling fics Back To Your Heart and Heart To Heart, comes a new and exciting fic that will have you coming back for more

Sometimes one can be oblivious to whats in front of them, including and most especially how they may feel about someone. This is the problem for Clark Kent and Lois Lane, best friends who tell each other almost everything but the one thing they can't admit to themselves. There are also secrets that have to be kept or do they? A change has begun..a dangerous change that will push it all to the surface and what does that mean for the two oblivious best friends? Will they survive before it tears them apart?

And now, the season premiere of Obliviously Into You:

Prologue

Clark sighed as he flopped down onto the sofa in his empty living room. It was still too quiet in this place without his parents around. Grabbing the TV remote, he switched it on and flicked through the channels but then threw it down next to him when he couldn't find a single thing to watch.

There was nothing on.

Well that wasn't true, he could probably find something if his mind weren't on other things. But he couldn't help it. And he also knew that sitting here dwelling on it would only make it worse. Not to mention the fact that Lois would kill him if she found him moping.

Lois.

Not for the first time today, he remembered how she'd been there that day, helping him. But he cast the unwanted memory from his mind, choosing instead to focus on getting himself a snack. He took a moment as he reached the kitchen to just stand and listen, really listen.

No one appeared to be in trouble, no one was calling out. It was an eerily quiet night out there. But perhaps that was a good thing. As he set about taking some items out of the fridge, the back door opened and banged shut and before he'd even turned around, she was off on a rant.

"Move over Smallville, I need some Rocky Road and I need it stat!"

"Hello to you too, Lois. Help yourself, you know where it is." He didn't know why he was still talking; her head was already buried in the freezer trying to sniff the stuff out.

"Aha!" she shouted triumphantly, removing her head along with a carton of Rocky Road ice cream. But her smile soon fell as she opened it and glanced inside. "Um, what the hell? Why is there like...a mouthful left in the bottom?"

"There is? Huh..." Clark glanced in the empty tub, suddenly remembering that he was supposed to pick some up, but totally forgot.

Lois narrowed her eyes. "Don't toy with me Smallville, you know what I'm like if I don't get my ice cream."

Boy did he ever? Remembering the melt down she'd had last time she'd needed some, he grabbed his jacket. "I'll go and get you some if you want?"

Lois sighed and looked at the tub like it was a long-time friend she was never going to see again. "No it's okay. I guess I can have..." She went back to the freezer and fished out another carton. "Vanilla? Geez Clark haven't you had enough of that in your life?"

He glared at her and put his jacket back down, if she wanted some she could fetch it herself. Though he was pleased to have her here, it usually meant something had happened. But he liked that she automatically went straight to the freezer, knew where everything was.

He loved that she was comfortable here. She was his best friend, and because of that, he always knew to keep that freezer well stocked. Why had he forgotten to buy more? Oh right...he remembered. But wished he hadn't.

Instead he focused on Lois and her search for sustenance. She had now moved to the fridge, no doubt to find any of the pie that she knew he baked.

"Okay so what gives?" she said, frustrated as she straightened up. "First there's no Rocky Road and now there's no pie? Call yourself a friend?"

"I didn't have time to make one."

She actually pouted, though he would bet she didn't know it. "But you always make one. Every week, you have ever since your mom and dad left for Washington."

He chuckled. "I know, but this week has been a little...well you know."

Lois' expression sobered long enough for her to forget about her ice cream. "Yeah I know."

There was a brief silence, not an uncomfortable one, but neither knew what to say. So Clark decided to change the subject.

"So what did Josh do tonight?"

"What do you mean?" she asked, in a tone that suggested she knew very well what he meant. "And you know very well that it's Joshua, not Josh. You know he hates that."

Clark grinned, he did know that. That was precisely why he did it. It wasn't that he had anything against Lois' boyfriend, he just thought she could do better. Josh was...well, he was not Lois' type. At all.

"Well you raiding my freezer tells me something didn't go right tonight. So what did he do this time?"

Lois sighed and sat down. "He 'forgot his wallet'" She used air quotes. "This of course meant, again, that I had to pay for dinner."

"I thought you were a modern woman?"

"I am, but come on Clark, a gentleman should pay at least a couple of times don't you think?"

Clark couldn't help but smile, because when she said the word gentleman, she looked straight at him. Did that mean she thought he was a gentleman? He always tried to be, he'd been raised as one after all.

"I agree." he replied. Through all of their banter, which he loved, he knew that whenever things went bad, this was the first place she came. Almost like she felt safe here. And that was nice to know.

"Anyway, he dropped me off at my apartment but I didn't want to stay there. I thought we could watch a movie or something."

Clark nodded. "Yeah, that sounds good to me. Are you sure you don't want me to go get some ice cream?"

"It's okay, I'll just have vanilla..." Though she made a face at that. "But you better have a lot of chocolate sauce."

"It's in the top cupboard."

Lois smiled and hopped off her stool to get it, but quickly found that she couldn't reach it. Clark moved forward to help her at the exact same time that she turned around to him and they collided. He grabbed her by the upper arms to steady her and for a moment, neither spoke.

Then Lois smiled. "Good grief Smallville..." She pushed him out of the way. "Practice blocking much?" She threw him a wink before she walked back to her bowl and started spooning the ice cream into it.

Clark just smiled and shook his head and got the sauce down for her.

"Oh I didn't get you a bowl. Can you grab one for me?"

"Sure," As he reached into the cabinet for another bowl, he heard a loud crash. He turned around to see Lois grabbing at her head and her face was scrunched up. He was by her side in a second, grabbing her arm.

"Lois? What is it?"

"Head...again. Man, it hurts."

"Here, sit down." He carefully lowered her onto a stool and went to get her a glass of water. "Are you okay?"

She took the glass with a hand that he noticed was shaking, but she nodded. "Yeah, it's easing a little. But that one was stronger Clark."

"Maybe we should take you somewhere."

Lois looked up at him through pain filled eyes. "Where?"

"To a doctor. These headaches aren't right Lois, you've been getting too many and I don't like it. Does Josh know?"

"Joshua," she grunted. "And no he doesn't."

"Well I'm taking you to see a doctor anyway."

She opened her mouth to disagree but winced instead. Finally she nodded. "Okay, we'll go tomorrow. For now though, let's just watch our movie."
