Chapter 7:
"Would you mind repeating that, Clark?" Jonathan said sternly.
"Jonathan," Martha scolded.
"I don't see what the big deal is. It's not like I'm gonna go around telling everyone that Clark Kent is an alien, and besides, Clark didn't have much choice in telling me." Lois paid no attention to the look Clark shot at her.
"We know that, Lois," Martha said warmly.
"What do you mean, 'Clark didn't have much choice'?" Jonathan asked pointedly.
"I kinda started floating," Clark said sheepishly. He floated a bit off the ground to demonstrate.
"How'd that happen?" Jonathan asked.
Clark was about to answer when Lois inturrupted. "I sort of got him drunk."
"Only because there was red Kryptonite in the drinks; I didn't even want to go to Atlantis. You practically dragged me there!" he said to Lois.
"You seemed to be having a pretty good time," she shot back, leaving Jonathan and Martha looking between the two in confusion.
"I was drugged!"
"It's not my fault there was red Kryptonite in the drinks," Lois said while grinning.
"Stop, stop, stop," Jonathan inturrupted their bickering. "Clark, what made you start floating?"
Clark shifted nervously and looked over to Lois -who was studiously avoiding his gaze, while fighting a grin- for support. His gaze finally rested on the ground in front of him. "The floating works like the heat vision," he said as his face turned several shades darker.
Jonathan and Martha exchanged amused looks. "Clark, why don't you help your father finish the chores?" Martha said as Jonathan walked towards the field.
Clark grinned quickly at Lois before superspeeding off.
Lois followed Martha into the house, and Martha poured some coffee for them. "You like him," Martha said over her mug. She was surprised when Lois nodded without any argument. "He feels the same way about you," she added.
Lois smiled absently, deep in thought, "I know." Off Martha's surprised look, she added, "We got everything out in the open in Metropolis this morning when he had to explain why he started floating."
"Why did hestart floating? You two didn't do anything, did you?"
"No, Mrs. Kent. Nothing happened. Clark just took the phrase 'look but don't touch' to a whole new level," she said, blushing.
"He didn't X-ray you, did he?"
"Yeah, he did." Lois was blushing harder now.
Martha just smiled in amusement.
A few hours later, Lois walked outside and looked around for Clark and Jonathan. She saw them over by the barn and hurried over to them. Lois sneaked up behind Clark and covered his eyes with her hands. "Guess who, Smallville."
"Lana?" he teased with a beaming grin on his face.
"No."
"Chloe?"
"No, guess again."
"Shelby?"
Lois took her hands off of his eyes as he turned and whacked him lightly in the stomach. "Haha, Kent. Real funny."
"I thought so too,"he said, still beaming at her, as he leaned forward to kiss her on the forehead. At the last second, she leaned up a bit more, so that her lips met Clark's. After a few moments, Jonathan cleared his throat loudly, reminding the two teens that he was still there. Lois and Clark pulled away quickly, both slightly red.
"Mrs. Kent asked me to get you guys for lunch."
"You two go on in. I'll put this stuff away, Clark," Jonathan said.
"You sure, Dad?" Clark asked, but Lois grabbed his wrist and started pulling him towards the house.
"Yes, Clark, go on," Jonathan said with an amused smile.
Clark grinned and superspeeded a surprised Lois to the front porch.
Lois crept silently down the steps and into the living room. Clark was sleeping on the couch, snoring lightly. "Smallville? You awake?" Lois startd shaking him when he didn't respond. "Smallville, are you awake?"
"I am now, Lois," came Clark's groggy response from under his pillow.
"Move over, Clark."
"What?"
"Move over."
"I thought you were supposed to be sleeping upstairs. In my nice, comfortable bed. You know, the one that's upstairs."
"Well, I accidentally spilled a bucket of water in it, so, it's all wet now."
"Spilled a bucket of water?" Clark asked skeptically. "How did you manage to accidentally do that?"
Lois just rolled her eyes at him. "Just shut up and move over, Smallville."
Clark sighed, pretending to be annoyed, and moved over as much as he could. Lois settled in next to him. Clark wrapped his arm around her and fell back to sleep almost instantly. Lois smiled contentedly as his breathing evened out. "I love you, Smallville," she said as she drifted off to sleep.
