With the ring gone, Lex took the lead, got them out to the parking lot, and made Clark locate his dad's battered truck. They sat on the bumper, waiting for Jonathan and Pete to find them again.
Finally Clark spoke. Lex barely heard him.
"Sorry."
"For what?" Lex asked gently.
Clark blinked for a while, eyes fixed on the pavement. "Everything," he whispered. "I killed mom's baby."
Lex didn't believe it, but only said, "I'm sure it was an accident."
"What I did to you. That was...." Clark's voice dwindled to nothing. He still wouldn't look at Lex.
"You didn't force me."
"I would've." Lex saw tears on his face.
"It's okay. Really. I liked it."
Clark looked unconvinced.
"We have a destiny. Whatever happens, whatever we do to each other. You're mine, and I'm yours. Forever."
Clark looked up, and Lex kissed him.
(Okay, yes, they kissed before. But this is the first time Clark was in his right mind! And this is the first time Lex kissed Clark instead of vice-versa! Yeah, yeah. I was starting to run out of challenges.)
