Electric blue eyes Chapter 2
" Through the wind and the chill and the rain, And the storm and the flood, I can
feel his approach. Like a fire in my blood."
-Unknown
The bright moonlight seemed to splinter on the running Kent. As he slowed to an abpurt stop, he felt the air cooling his hot skin like ice. He hadn't used superspeed to run home. He just ran. As Clark looked up at his loft he noticed a light. That's weird. He thought. His parents were asleep and he knew he didn't leave the light on.
Clark approached the top of his stairs very carefully. He felt his heart leap when he saw Lex. Lex was sitting very calmly on his couch. He was just staring at him with his arms rested on his knees. "Lex?" Clark whispered in disbelief. "What are you doing here?" Clark watched him smile slightly and then stand up. "I thought I would ask you the same thing." Clark could detect a hint of amusement and anger in Lex's voice. Clark began to get very nervous.
Lex moved closer to Clark and shoved his hands in his pockets. "You can start off by telling me why you were at the mansion tonight." Clark tried to put on his best confused look. He also tried to swallow the lump that had formed in his throat. "I don't know what you mean Lex. I couldn't sleep so I went out for a walk. I haven't been near the mansion." Clark watched the softness in Lex's face change. It was replaced with annoyance and anger.
Lex moved a little closer and closed the space between him and Clark. "Ok Kent. Maybe I was just mistaken. I'll have to heighten security though. I'd hate to think that I have unwanted visitors making their way onto the manor grounds. Sleep tight Clark." Lex smirked slightly and moved towards the stairs. Before he decended the stairs he hesitated. "I don't know why you feel the need to lie to me all the time Clark. I just wish you trusted me a little more than that."
Clark turned to say something to Lex but he was already on his way out. A few moments later he heard Lex's car roar away from the farm. His parents were going to want to know about this in the morning. Clark flopped down on the couch in frustration. He wasn't lying to Lex when he said he couldn't sleep and went for a walk. He just didn't know how he ended up at the manor. He didn't even consciencely do it. He just ended up there.
Clark sighed and turned on his side. He remembered standing on the manor grounds looking up at Lex on the balcony. He could see the loneliness filling his whole face. He wondered what was troubling his friend. He had never seen that look on his face. And what did Lex mean by him not trusting him. He did trust Lex. He just knew Lex's tendancies to do things behind his back. But that was just Lex. He was brought up that way. He couldn't help it.
The look of anger on Lex's face had made him uncomfortable. The close distance between them had made him even more uncomfortable. But he did trust Lex. He just didn't know why Lex didn't know that. Clark also didn't know what Lex meant by the fact that he lied to him all the time. Sure he had to make up lies to protect his family and secret but he never lied about anything else. He hated lying. But as his mind raced he knew he would never get any sleep.
The school day was uneventful and Clark found himself sitting at the Talon. Lana had made her way back from Metropolis and was standing in front of him. "So how was your trip to Metropolis?" he found himself saying. "It was fine. A little overwelming but fine. It was nice to get away for a while." Lana smiled at him and he smiled back. That smile could always melt his heart. "Wow the mysterious Clark Kent actually says more then two words today." Clark turned to see his friends Chloe and Pete walk up.
Chloe laid her bag on the counter and then turned her attention towards him. She offered him her usual perky smile and Clark knew he was in for an interogation. Chloe opened her mouth to talk but was interupted by the stunned looks on Clark, Pete, and Lana's faces. Chloe slowly turned her head and saw what they saw. In return her own face was twisted in shock. Lex Luthor had just strolled into the Talon. He strolled in wearing a white tshirt and faded jeans. He looked a little tired and slightly unshaven.
"Ok who are you and what have you done with Lex?" The words escaped Clark's mouth and made the others laugh. Lex looked up at him and Clark saw that his usual electric blue eyes seemed a little off. "Don't ask." was all he said. Clark felt an uneasy feeling come over him when Lex's eyes bore into his. Lex handed a blue folder to Lana and then turned and left. The four friends stood silent for a moment and then Chloe broke the silence. "Ok. What was that all about?"
Later that blissfully blue day, Clark sat in his loft. Lana stood a few feet in front of him. She was looking at the beautiful sunset. This was the beautiful girl that Clark had been in love with since he was five. He had even broken Chloe's heart for her. Clark had always wanted to take his chance but he knew now that he couldn't. "Clark?" Clark shook out of his thoughts by Lana's voice.
Lana came over and sat down next to him. "Are you alright Clark?" He looked over at her and saw the worry in her big brown eyes. They were always eyes that instantly captivated him and made him weak in the knees. But for the first time in his life he didn't feel that weakness. This scared him. "I'm fine. I just have a lot on my mind." Lana laid a hand on his knee and looked up at him again. "You know you can talk to me about anything right?"
Clark was about to answer her when his mother reached the top of the stairs. He knew by the look on her face that something was wrong. "Mom? What is it?" He watched as his mother sat next to him and took his hands. "Clark there was an accident out on the bridge. Lex's car was hit. I'm sorry Clark. He didn't make it."
Clark pulled away from his mom in disbelief. "No! Your lying!" Clark could feel the tears start to well up in his eyes. "I don't believe you!" Clark ran down the stairs. Once he reached the outside of the barn he used superspeed all the way to Smallville Medical Center. When he reached the hospital morge he was met by a line of people. A long line leading to an open door. He walked past Chloe who had her camera ready. Pete was standing next to Clark's father. Dominic Santori was standing next to Lionel Luthor. They all had smirks on their face's and his father was laughing.
This all seemed so surreal. It couldn't have been happening. This all had to be in his mind. Clark walked through the door and to the table with Lex's body. Clark stared down at Lex's lifeless body. His electric blue eyes were behind closed eyelids. He longed to look in those eyes. He wanted Lex to suddenly jump up and tell him it was all a joke. But Clark felt his once soft skin and it was so cold. Clark felt the tears well up in his eyes. He felt a scream erupting in his throat. It was a scream that filled the whole hospital.
Clark awoke with Lex's name screaming out of his mouth. Tears filled those big green eyes. Clark suddenly realized where he was. He was safe in his loft. It was all a dream. None of it ever happened. But Clark felt a sickness in his stomach. He had to get to Lex. He had to warn him. As Clark raced down the loft stairs he ran headfirst into this dad. "Clark? Are you alright? We heard you scream." Clark pushed past his dad and ran down the stairs. "I can't talk now." he yelled back.
Lex stood at the doorway of the dining hall. The last guests at the business dinner were slowly shuffling out. He had to yawn and roll his eyes. He hated these things. Finally they all had filed out and he said his goodbyes. He was glad that his father hadn't mangaged to attend. Lex started towards his bedroom. He couldn't wait to sleep. As he reached his room he saw the clothes he had worn earlier laying on a chair. He had to let out a slight laugh. He must have looked like hell when he walked into the Talon. He sure felt like it.
Slowly Lex stripped down to his boxers. He pulled on a pair of black silk pants out of his closet. He sat down on the edge of his bed. He was about to lie down when he heard a slight arguement in the hallway. Lex peeked his head out the door and saw Clark arguing with one of the staff. Lex emerged from his bedroom clad only in the silk pants and strolled up to them.
The two stopped arguing when they saw Lex standing near them. "What seems to be the problem?" he asked in his usual cocky tone. The female employee looked at him sheepishly. "There's no problem sir." A blush rose in her cheeks and she turned to leave. After she left Lex looked at Clark with amusement on his face. "Well Clark Kent has suceeded to make the female employees blush." Clark let out a slight laugh and then looked at Lex's well toned upper half. "I don't think she was blushing at me."
Lex looked down at himself and laughed. "Well you caught me Kent. I was looking forward to sleep. I haven't slept in days. Which brings me to the question Clark. What are you doing here? It's almost 10:30." Clark smiled sheepishly and scuffed at his feet. "I was worried about you. When you came into the Talon you seemed different. I mean I'd never seen you dressed like that." Lex laughed slightly. "I was having a bad day Clark. I just didn't feel like dressing up in a 2,000 dollar coat."
Clark leaned back against the wall and continued to look at Lex. "Why don't you tell me why you really here. Your a bad liar Clark. So tell me why your really here." Clark looked back at Lex a little shocked. He didn't know why he was here. At first he thought it was about the dream. But now he didn't know. He didn't know what he had been feeling lately. He just knew that his stomach was in knots and the way Lex was looking at him was making him weak in the knees.
Clark looked back up into those electric blue eyes. He had a sudden feeling that if he didn't hold onto something he was going to fall. "That's why i'm really here. I wanted to make sure you were okay." Clark suddenly saw a fire come over those eyes. "Bull Clark!" Lex's raised voice actually made Clark jump. "Tell me why your really here!"
Clark suddenly walked up to Lex. "Alright fine! You want to know why i'm really here? I had a dream about you. I had a dream that you died in a car accident. Everybody was laughing at you. But I wasn't. I was scared. I was upset because I never got to tell you about this feeling that has been coming over me lately. Something that I couldn't understand at first. Something that I didn't want to accept. But now I do." Lex moved closer to Clark until there was almost no space between them. "What Clark? Tell me. Please? I need to hear it." Clark looked up into this eyes and Lex looked into his. "I want you." Clark whispered so quietly he almost didn't hear it himself. "What?" Lex asked almost out of breath. "I want you." he said louder.
Clark put a hand on Lex's bare arm and closed his eyes as Lex's lips met his. Instantly it was like an explosion inside of him. He felt Lex's fingertip in his hair as he deepened the kiss. Clark felt his knees go below him. Lex pulled away from the kiss and sighed into Clark's shoulder. "I think you should go." Lex whispered. Clark pulled away from Lex and looked into his eyes. "What?" he asked out of breath. "I said, I think you should go Clark." The look in Lex's eyes was like stone and Clark felt himself running down the hall.
