Part eight- Sweet Dreams

"So you aren't scared of me?" Clark asked, silently praying that she wasn't.

"I could never be afraid of you." She replied earnestly. "I've never seen you try to hurt anybody."

"What about all of the bad affects that the meteors have on people? People get hurt, sometimes even killed because of those affects and it's entirely my fault. I essentially killed your parents too, the day I came down. If I hadn't come they would still be alive right now. You have every right to hate me. All that pain, all that death, and it's all my fault." Tears pooled in his eyes. Lana was baffled. He seemed to genuinely believe that all of that was his fault.

"Clark Jerome Kent! NONE of ANY of that is your fault! You couldn't control that the meteors came down! You didn't even decide that you were coming down! So stop blaming yourself for all of those horrible things! None of that is your fault!" Clark's eyes widened, he had never heard Lana yell at anyone.

"How can you be so sure? I mean, ever since I found out, I've been blaming myself. How can you be so certain?"

Lana got closer to him and looked directly into his eyes, "Because I know you." Before either of them realized what was happening, they were kissing.

A little while later, they were resting quite comfortably on the couch, lying down, cuddled up next to each other. Both were tired from the day's events. He let her slip into his arms, and for the first time in her life, Lana felt secure. She leaned into Clark's chest and fell asleep once more, staying awake just long enough to feel Clark gently kissing her on the head.
