AA.n. Here it is! This is the last part of 'Explicit' and it has CLANA!! lol. It also has a little song fic at the end and some lines from the M*A*S*H episode 'Out Of Sight, Out Of Mind' which was my inspiration for this fic (as I said earlier in the story). See if you can spot the stolen lines! lol. ;o)

hehe - gotta love me. :o)
*~*~*
At first all he could see was a huge peach colored blob surrounded by little blobs that were all varied colors.
He thought that was the best he'd be able to see - that he could officially say that not all of his sight had come back - but then, all the blobs seemed to shrink. And as they shrinked, they became clearer. To Clark's amazement, everything was perfectly clear and vivid within a few seconds. The peach blob was his hand and the other blobs were all his family and friends surrounding him. He smiled gleefully.
" Five fingers - right?" Clark asked as he saw everyone else exhaling the long breath they had held.
" Exactly, Clark," Dr. Brice confirmed standing up and throwing away Clark's bandages in the trash can next to her chair. She smiled along with the others.
" Oh, Clark," Martha couldn't help but hug her son. She'd been so worried and now she realized that giant weight was gone.
Clark hugged his mother thinking about how it would've been if he couldn't see. He glanced at everyone smiling uncontrollably. Lex, Pete, Chloe, Lana, Byron - he wouldn't be able to see any of them. He noticed another girl who must be Sarah. Clark had a feeling he and everyone else (including Byron and Sarah) would be a much closer friends then they had been. And now, more then ever, he wanted to tell them all his secret. But knew he couldn't. He couldn't put that burden on his friends. Besides, they'd probably all act like Pete had and he didn't really want to get in a fight with any of them now. 'Maybe I'll tell them,' thought Clark. 'Someday.'
*~*~*
That same day, after he left the hospital, Clark climbed up the creaky steps to the loft. Seeing everything again made him feel more at home. He looked over at his telescope and noticed Lana standing next to it looking out at the sky which was turning purplish-red as the sun began to set.
" Lana?"
She whirled around and gave him a sweet smile and then looked back out at the window.
" I guess it's nice to see a sun set again, huh Clark?" she asked thoughtfully.
" Yeah, it's one of the things I missed alot." Clark answered walking over next to her and the telescope.
There was a long pause in which neither one of them knew what to say. But some how there wasn't really anything that needed to be said. However, Clark felt he should talk Lana since she had most likely gone out of her way to see him.
" Do know how funny it sounds when you hear someone slip in the mud?" Clark stated smiling a little. " Or that when it rains, it sounds exactly like steaks sizzling on a grill?"
Lana looked deeply at Clark as if trying to read his mind.
" No, I - I never realized that. I guess when you can see your kind of at a disadvantage to that type of stuff."
" Yeah," Clark agreed wholeheartedly. " It was a lucky thing. First I got a chance to see without my eyes, and then I got them back." Clark admitted glancing over at Lana to meet his eyes with hers.
Lana looked back at the sun as if to shake off what she had been thinking. She took a small breath and said, " Do you remember when you walked me home the night the DMX were arrested the first time?"
" Yeah," Clark answered uneasily not sure where this was going and hoping it didn't end in another fight about his secret.
" And we - you know -"
" Kissed," Clark finished immediately feeling a little worse. " Listen, Lana, I would've never done that if I'd have know you didn't want me to -"
" No, Clark it's not that," Lana interupted quickly. " It's about the part when were - Clark, I swore we were floating."
Clark's brain quickly switched on. He had to think up an excuse - or did he? Why couldn't he just tell her? 'Because she wouldn't understand and she'd hate me forever.' Clark thought sadly.
" Floating? I don't think we were -"
" I know you're lieing, Clark," Lana said glancing back at him and folding her arms.
Clark sighed wishing he could just tell her and get it over with. But that was out of the question. He couldn't. Lana wouldn't understand.
" If I told you, you'd never want to talk to me again."
" How would you know, Clark?" Lana asked coldly.
" Lana, I just - I can't - I -"
" Why not?" Lana snapped rudely. " You could at least say what's stopping you from telling me."
" I don't want to lose you as a friend." Clark admited desparetly.
" Were you making us float?"
Clark would've laughed at the question if she hadn't been so serious. Surprising even himself, Clark replied, " Yes."
Lana looked at him as if she watching a extremely interesting television show. ' That's just what I feel like - a television show.' Clark said in his mind.
" I didn't know I could do it until then. I'm telling you truth, Lana. I had know clue I was gonna do that." Clark tried to explain. " I had know clue I was gonna do any of that. It just - happened. I swear all I planned do was walk you home. That's it."
" So it was just a heat-of-the-moment type thing? It didn't mean anything?"
" No, I mean -" Clark spoke up quickly. " I kissed you because I wanted to - for a long time I've wanted to. But I never thought you felt the same..."
" I didn't either," Lana added.
" I'm sorry, Lana..."
" You always are," Lana said sorely turning away from him and starting towards the stairs.
He couldn't let her walk away like this. He didn't want her to leave angry at him. Suddenly, with renewed determination, Clark grabbed Lana's arm, turned her around, and kissed her.
Clark moved his hands to her cheeks and then pulled out of the kiss.
" But this time I'm really sorry," Clark said softly.
Lana showed a bright smile which Clark returned. He was so glad that he could she into her eyes. See what she saw. Feel what she felt. He now realized that his temporary blindness had helped him see even clear then he ever had before.
" You are beautiful," he complimented is his own unique Clark Kent way that made Lana feel as is she was imprisoned in his eyes.
They didn't talk for a minute. Most likely because they weren't really sure that this had just happened. It was like the feeling that Clark had felt when had been in the rain with Lana was flooding back into him. Flowing through him like a cup of hot chocolate on a brisk cold winter night. All tenseness and stress and worries seemed to vanish. It was just Clark and Lana - together at last.
" Do you think you could float again?" Lana asked sweetly.
Right after she requested it, they were both being lifted slowly from the loft floor. She looked up at Clark and realized it really didn't matter that she didn't know his full secret - yet anyways. For now, she was perfectly satisfied with what he'd showed her. Not only the floating part, but the fact that their love was clearer then ever.
" You are amazing," Lana said truthfully wrapping her arms around his shoulders just as she had done when they had been dancing a few days before.
They kissed once more as a calm breeze blew cooly into the room and danced around them.
