Chapter 1 - The Discovery

"Mom!" Clark exclaimed upon seeing his mother enter Lex's study. Shocked - firstly at her being there at all - but more so, at the fact that he had a shirtless, panting Lex pinned to his own desk and had been thoroughly devouring his mouth when she had entered.

"Clark, what on earth is going on?" Martha practically yelled, struggling to control her shock and anger.

"M-Mrs K-Kent...we were...I..-" Lex fumbled for something to say to appease the situation, while frantically looking for his shirt.

"Mom, we were going to tell you about this. Eventually." Clark tried to explain.

"And what exactly is 'this,' Clark?" Again Martha was trying to keep a cool head, she was the more level-headed of her and her husband. God, imagine if Jonathon had walked in and seen what I did...

"Lex and I are, well 'dating' I guess. We've been together for about 2 months now-"

"7 weeks and 3 days," Lex cut in, immediately flushing when he realised what he'd just admitted to. I've been counting the days we've been together, how pathetic...

Clark smiled fondly at Lex, while Martha seemed slightly amused. "So you two boys are serious then?"

"Very much so Mrs Kent. I love him." Lex replied earnestly, flushing again at admitting his love for Clark to someone who wasn't Clark.

"And I love Lex, Mom," Clark added, reaching over and linking hands with Lex. "We're happy together. I'm the happiest I've been in a long time."

Martha looked on at the two boys, and the open affection they were displaying. "I had noticed you were a lot less moody lately Clark, though I had put it down to Whitney going away, leaving the field open for you and Lana. I know I should be pleased that my baby is happy and in love, but your father...really isn't going to like this. At all."

"I know Mom, that's why we put off telling you guys for so long. We were kinda hoping dad would warm up to Lex a little before we did, but that didn't look likely to be happening any time soon." Clark explained, moving closer to Lex as he talked, and wrapping his arms around him. Lex, thankful for the comfort and support, leaned heavily into Clark, and returned the embrace.

"I understand what you're saying Clark, but you still kept this from us, and that won't sit well with your father. I'll speak to him this afternoon, and I think it would be a good idea for Lex to come over to dinner tonight, so you can tell him. Okay?"

Sighing, Lex spoke up, "Sure thing Mrs Kent. It probably would be best to get this out in the open." Turning to Clark, he added, "You'll protect me when your dad pulls out his shotgun won't you?"

Laughing, Clark replied, "Lex, dad doesn't have a shotgun." Hearing Lex's sigh of relief, he continued, "He has a hunting rifle!"

Turning to bury his face in Clark's chest, Lex groaned, "God, I'm going to die tonight aren't I?"

"No, Lex, I'll save you. I promise," Clark said, brushing his lips over Lex's scalp.

Martha watched on in fascination, at the interaction between the two young men. Sensing that now was probably a good time to go, she turned to Lex and inquired, "Dinner is at 6, if you can make it?" At Lex's nod, she continued, "I'll speak to Jonathon before you come over. See you this evening." She smiled in order to reassure him everything would be okay. Starting to leave, she turned back to look at Clark, "You have chores to do, be home in an hour. And don't be late." With that she turned and left.
