Chapter 21

It had taken so long for everyone to get ready to go. Chris and Lana had done so much by the time Phoebe was finished getting dressed and Lex finished his paper work. Even after that they still had to wait for Pete, Clark, and Chloe. Chris had a short attention span.

He had took a shower with Lana orbed her back to Chloe's house so she could get changed; he hung out for a while there while she got dressed.

Chloe had opened the door on him while Lana was in the shower. She'd made some snarky comment and Chris just gave her the finger. She returned the gesture and left the room. He smiled to himself as she left the room. He really didn't like Chloe she reminded him too much of a girl he had known in high school.

He was thumbing through Lana's yearbook when Chloe had interrupted. He went back to looking at the pictures and mentally making fun of Lana's classmates. He saw Chloe's picture and he wanted to draw a mustache on her but it looked like she already had one. He was snickering about it when Lana came in still wearing a towel.

"You'd better be glad Gabe didn't come in here." Lana told him as she closed and locked the door. "Who the hell is Gabe?" Chris asked. "Chloe's dad. He um lost his job and he's passed out on the couch from drinking all night." Lana revealed.

"So why are you living here? I know you don't have any family near by but there's a space above the Talon that could make a cute apartment." Chris said.

Lana winced at the mention of the apartment over the Talon.

"I…" Lana started. "It's not any of my business. I understand if you don't want to talk about it." Chris said. Lana started to shake out her wet hair it was wet from the shower they had taken at Lex's. Chris had orbed them into Lana's bedroom.

"I know a way to dry your hair." Chris said as he walked over and pulled Lana to him. "Oh really." Lana said as she took off her towel and threw it at him.

Once everyone reconvened at Lex's they split up taking two cars. Clark and Phoebe rode with Pete and Chloe in Pete's old school convertible and Lex was tailing them with Chris and Lana in the Jag. And Lana's hair was still wet. Which she didn't mind because Lex had the top down.

Chris had wanted to ride up front for reasons unknown to Lana. She wondered fleetingly if he was getting tired of her. They had sex a bunch of times that morning. She sighed and put her insecure thoughts on the back burner. She was very sleepy and she had the whole back seat to herself.

She stretched out curling up on her side. Her back hurt for reasons direct or indirectly relating to all the sex she had been having with Chris. It could have been from when that vamp threw her against the headstone. She closed her eyes and tried to sleep.

"Is that Lana snoring?" Lex asked. "Yep. She drools too and steals the freaking covers." Chris said. "Too much information." Lex said chuckling. Chris was rifling through Lex's CD collection. "Do you have anything more upbeat? Smashing Pumpkins? What's that?" Chris asked.

"Where's the Outcast? I wanna hear 'Roses' I haven't heard that in forever. "Keep flipping." Lex told him. "You actually have Speakerboxx and the Love Below!" Chris asked once he had found the CD. Lex nodded, "I can get down with the get down. You know."

"But your Lex Luthor you're supposed to be all angst metal or straight classical." Chris said shaking his head and frowning in confusion. He had Lex pegged all wrong.

"People can surprise you." Lex said. "Ain't it the truth?" Chris said. "Though I prefer 'The Way U Move' 'Roses' is still a great song." Lex said. "I still can't believe you listen to Outcast." Chris said still shaking his head. "Well, I still can't believe you had sex with Smallville's fairy princess on your first night in town." Lex said shaking his head in disbelief.

"Don't be hating." Chris told Lex and he put the CD in the CD player. The song started. "Caroline. Caroline. All the guys would say she's mighty fine. But mighty fine only got you somewhere half the time. And the other half either got you cursed out, or coming up short Yeah, now dig this, even though

You'd need a golden calculator to divide. The time it took to look inside and realize that. Real guys go for real down to Mars girls, yeah!" Both Chris and Lex were singing.

Clark was sitting in the backseat of Pete's car snuggling with Phoebe. They were trying to ignore Chloe and Pete's argument and catch a few Z's. After the first twenty minutes the noise from the front seat seemed to be comforting and soothing them to sleep.

Clark was dozing in and out to make sure the argument didn't lose it playful nature. Pete was saying, "I don't want us to end up like my parents." "We won't." Chloe responded. "But when we fight we sound just like them." Pete said. "Technically we're not really fighting it's kind of foreplay for us." Chloe said.

"Oh yeah. For a second and a half I forgot that were both so damaged that we get off on verbal abuse." Pete said. "Okay then. Tell me to shut the hell up and things can get back to normal. Well as normal as they can in Smallville and our relationship." Chloe said.

"Shut the hell up woman." Pete said. Clark watched and listened in horror as Chloe leaned over and gave Pete a peck on the cheek. Pete hadn't told him that his parents were fighting. And Chloe and Pete did do something last night. Clark tried to go back to sleep but this overwhelming sense of ickyness remained.

Phoebe had officially heard and seen it all after seeing the way Pete and Chloe were together. She had tried not to ease drop but her damn empathy was working over time. She could feel the confusion and the anger Pete felt about his parents. She could feel the sick attraction between the two teenagers.

She didn't like it. She sighed and pressed herself closer to Clark. He was so warm and real and he smelled so nice. The way he was sitting made his jeans gather up at one place and Phoebe didn't know if he was hard from the way she was pressing into him or Chloe and Pete's convo. There was only one way to find out. She leaned up moving away from him a bit and leaning up to kiss him on the lips.

Clark's erection was fading fast after hearing Chloe and Pete's convo but when Phoebe kissed him it returned with a vengeance. He felt Phoebe's small hand slide down his chest and right into his pants. Clark bit his lip to suppress a moan.

"Phoebe I don't think we should-" Clark's protest was cut short when Pete suddenly hit the brakes and Clark held Phoebe against him not allowing them to slam forward with the car.

And the warm Phoebe hand was gone and she was looking out of the car. "What the fuck is Lex doing?" Pete asked. "Whatever it is it isn't legal this is a no passing zone." Phoebe said. Clark turned a little to see what the other three were looking at.

Lex had the top down on his Jag and Chris was doing something rather obscene in the from the passenger seat. Phoebe squeaked at the sight. Clark shook his head. He really didn't need to see another guy's ass at nine o' clock in the morning.

"Oh it's on like Donkey Kong." Chloe said as she started to do what looked to Clark like she was unbuttoning her skirt. Pete sped up to pass Lex's car. Clark and Phoebe watched in horror as Chloe pulled down her skirt and stood up in the seat.

Pete had the top down and Lex and Chris got a full view of Chloe's ass. The raging hard on he got from seeing Chris pull his pants down disappeared quickly when Chloe returned fire. Chris made a noise that sounded like he was gagging.

Chloe's ass wasn't that bad it was just that she was a girl. Lex finally admitted that fact to himself. "What do ya think about that b-otch?" Pete shouted as he finally passed them after driving along side for a few horrible minutes.

"No way are they getting away with that." Chris said. "I'm gonna have nightmares about that for weeks." Chris said. "What do you propose we do about it?" Lex asked. He glanced over at Chris who had mischievous grin on his face.

Lex shook his head he knew whatever Chris was thinking it wasn't good. "Oh no, what are you going to do?" Lex asked more worried when he saw the proverbial wheels begin to turn in Chris' head. Then when Chris went into a maniacal fit of laughter all bets were off he was going to do something crazy.

Chris told Lex his plan. "It's easy simple. I'm going to be doing all the work." Chris said trying to convince Lex. "How I'm I supposed to do that and drive at the same time?" Lex asked. "A man with your reputation I figured you would have done this ten times over." Chris said cocking an eyebrow.

Lex blushed. Chris had him and he knew it. Then Lex went from embarrassed to exasperated. "Why can't you just wave slong out the window like a normal hooligan?" Lex asked sounding frustrated.

Chris started to say something snarky to Lex but he remembered that you get more with sugar than with vinegar. "Please Lex. I would think that you would want to do this with me." Chris said giving Lex the puppy eyes.

"Of course I want to do this with you but not like this not because of some prank." Lex told him. Chris sighed. "What if I told you that I kind of wanted to make out with you too?" He said in rush. Lex looked shocked for moment and didn't say anything.

"My friends… don't know that I…" Lex started. "That you like men. I think they know." Chris said. "How would they… I'm I obvious or something?" Lex asked. "Dude everyone knows." Chris said doing his best imitation of his aunt Paige.

"I'll have you know that I'm quite the ladies man." Lex said. "Did you say 'lady man'?" Chris asked. Lex playfully hit him on the shoulder. "I've been married two times." Lex told him. "To money grubbing whores out for your money? I bet they probably tried to kill you to get it." Chris said.

Chris saw how Lex's expression changed and grew dark and troubled. "Say you'll do it the red light is coming up it'll be just like that scene in dude where my car. You'll rev your engine. Pete will rev his and put his arm around Chloe and then you'll put your arm around me. They'll go for the kiss and we'll go for the kiss. They can't beat that." Chris said.

"I can't believe Chris and Lex haven't retaliated yet." Clark said. "They will." Phoebe predicted. "I think I won. A girl mooning trumps a guy mooning right?" Chloe asked. "Well in any case let me assure you in saying you haven't seen the last of those two or Chris's ass." Phoebe said.

"What are you like a crystal ball are something?" Pete asked braking at the red light. "Yeah she's special alright." Clark said. "No I mean. Lex just pulled up beside me and he's revving his engine." Pete said. "I think you should rev it up too Pete." Chloe said not wanting to be outdone.

Pete revved his engine then he put his arm around Chloe. They all watched as Lex put his arm around Chris. "I think you should kiss me Pete." Chloe suggested. Pete did as he was told. Phoebe and Clark kept watching Lex and Chris and sure enough they kissed too. But longer it was longer and it was way hotter than Chloe and Pete's kiss.

And it went way beyond just kissing there were several degrees of groping as well. Clark watched and he tried and failed in not getting turned on by the display. He had suspected Lex was gay for a while now. But the proof was rather… arousing.

Chloe and Pete didn't seem shocked only outdone. Chloe huffed and hollered out the window, "Fine you win." Phoebe was smiling. "You go boy." She hollered out the window. "Guys the light's been green for like three minutes and Chloe said you won." Clark hollered after another minute.
