Chapter Three

It didn't bother Oliver that Lex and Lana were going to be there but there were a few problems about this situation that had to be discussed first.

The one thing Oliver had no intention of mentioning were his feelings to the younger man, from this moment on and for as long as he could pretend he and Clark were just friends and nothing else, at all, ever. Oliver sighed it was going to be a nightmare.

The first of the problems being Clark had to pretend to be gay and gay with Oliver.

The second Lex used to be his best friend.

Thirdly Lana, the love of his life.

Oliver shook his head how could someone like Clark be in love with someone like Lana. Now if it had been Chloe he could understand.

The hotel room rang Oliver walked to over and picked it up. "Hello," he paused, " we'll be ready."

The blonde billionaire turned and looked at his friend. Clark recognised that look and sighed. "What's wrong?"

"Well so much for practice, we have to get you clothes, get packed and out of here."

"Oliver I said I'm not leaving why are you buying me clothes?" Clark was a little confused.

"The boat is sailing earlier than we thought, a lot earlier. I'm sorry Clark but." Oliver paused. "I can tell them that we had an argument or I forced myself on you, something, anything.." He pleaded hoping that Clark would take the way out, but deep down knowing that there was a snowball's hells in chance of him doing that.

"What are you talking about Oliver?"

"Clark, Lana and Lex are going to think that you are interested in me." Oliver stared at Clark's blank face. "I'm a man." Clark stared at him blankly. "Clark you will lose any chance of being with Lana."

Clark smiled at Oliver his friend was trying to protect him, make him happy. When Lex was his best friend he did the same thing. "Oliver I'm going with you." He said simply, realising that not being with Lana no longer hurt as much not since….

Oliver watched as Clark looked at him and turned away what was going on in his friends mind.

Lex turned and looked at Lana smiling. "We need this, just you and I together away from everything Metropolis and Small….." His voice faded.

"Lex?" Lana asked her voice full of confusion, turning she saw the man she loved, would always love. He was walking towards them with Oliver Queen. Actually he was holding hands with Oliver Queen.

Clark smiled brightly at them. "Lex, Lana what a surprise to see you here."

"Clark, Oliver." Lex said smoothly. "This is a surprise. Why are you here?"

"So you all know each other that's good." John said as he walked over sliding a hand down Clark's back.

Clark moved toward Oliver, who dropped Clark's hand and slid his arm around the young man's waist and holding him tight against his body.

Clark loved feeling the warmth, he could just melt into Oliver's embrace.

"So you're here together?" Lex waved a hand between the two of them.

"Yes we are." Oliver said simply turning towards Clark.

Clark went with his emotions and moved forward, their lips touched and the kissed each other slowly, sensually. Arms taking hold of each other and gripping tightly afraid that the other would fade away.

Lana opened and closed her mouth Clark was….hers. She had no idea that her ex had any interest in men at all.

Lex wiped the shock of his face quickly and watched them kiss. That should have been him, not Oliver.

The two men were too lost in each other, the kiss became more passionate. Hands moved in desperate need to touch skin. As soon as they did it was a slow delectate touch, feathering over satin smooth skin.

"Boys, boys not now." John said a little too sharply. He wanted Clark for himself but seeing the look on Lex and Lana's faces he wasn't the only one.

No one else was going to have him.

Oliver and Clark pulled away from each other their faces flushed turning the looked straight into the eyes of Lex and Lana.

"Clark." Lex started to speak.
