Once they finally parted, Lex slipped a hand into his pocket, pulling out a blue velvet ring box. "My Turn"
Even Clark gasped as Lex then proceeded to kneel before him, opening the box to reveal a gold ring, with two symbols engraved.
"Is that...?" Clark drifted off as he stared at the exquisite piece, engraved with an identical kryptonian symbol, and the "S" from Alexander's breastplate.
"Yes. Can I…?"
"Of course!" Clark held out his hand, but, rather than Lex placing the ring onto the appropriate finger, he held it out to Clark.
"Read the inscription."
At that, Clark turned the ring, so he could read the inscription inside; 'The Stuff Of Legends – Eternally'
As their eyes met, they both laughed slightly, and Clark allowed the tears to fall as Lex slipped his ring on Clark's engagement finger.
Lex stood, and they moved to kiss once again.
As their lips met, bright blueish-white light encompassed the boys, a flash so quick that most of the people surrounding brushed it off in a practised manner (with the exception of the two senior Kents), thinking it to be a trick of the light. In a similar way, they also missed the fact that Clark and Lex were floating several inches above the ground!
As they floated, Clark heard the voice of his father, Jor-El, in his head;
"You are now mated. You have chosen well my son. Be happy."
As they sank back down to the floor, Clark pulled Lex tighter to him and whispered in his ear, "Mine. My Mate, my life, my soul."
Lex just snuggled closer as he whispered back, simply, "Yes, yours. Eternally."
THE END.
