Tristan and Isolde

Clark/Lex

A/N: For roseemily's first line meme!

"I think I like opera."

Lex allowed an uncustomary blink before replying. "Really?"

He watched Clark squirm for a moment, then decided to relieve him. "Care to tell me when this change occurred? Last time we talked, opera was the equivalent of listening to another of Jonathan Kent's lectures."

Lex concealed his smile as Clark blushed.

"Well, it's just that… you know this whole Tristan and Isolde thing?"

"Yes?"

"I think they're like us."

"A love that's doomed for all time?"

"No. That we're soul mates."

Lex didn't have the heart to tell Clark that there were no such things.
