Chapter Four

Clark didn't want to look away from Oliver. He had never had feelings as strong as these before. Now was not the time to do that they had a life to save and to do that he had to be gay with Oliver.

Clark turned and smiled at his ex-best friend. "Yes Lex?"

"What are you doing here with him?" He spat out, what he wanted to say was why was Clark here with his nemesis from Excelsior? Why didn't Clark let him know that he liked men? If Lex had known so many things would have been different.

He turned to look at Lana. In other words he would have not accepted the pale imitation of what and who he truly wanted.

"Well Oliver and I have being seeing each other and we wanted a quiet weekend away." Clark smiled brightly and pulled Oliver closer to him. "It's a good thing John dragged us away or I would have talked Oliver into marrying me."

Oliver pasted on his smile even though his chest ached. He knew at the end of this his heart was going to be utterly and totally shattered. But Clark was right, the greater good was more important.

John didn't like how this was going. "I think it is time you all got settled, let you relax a bit and then we can have dinner and discuss what we would all like to do." With that last bit he leered at Clark.

Clark felt with that one look his skin wanted to jump off his body and run away. He took a deep breath and smiled at Oliver.

Lana had to talk to Clark. Oliver and obviously done something to him. He would never fall for anyone, they were supposed to be each others true loves. Clark was supposed to pine for her.

Brennan smiled and eyed Oliver up and down. He couldn't wait to get to know him better.

Clark glared at the young man, he grabbed Oliver's hand and dragged him away.

Lex stood looking confused Clark had looked jealous, very jealous. If Clark was lying then he had improved a lot lately. Something just didn't sit right with him

Oliver headed straight for a cold shower as soon as they got into their room, it was either that or jumping Clark there and then. If Clark started their 'intimate' moments together maybe their friendship could still be intact.

As soon as he shut the door he took a deep breath. He was sure he could manage without a heart.

Clark watched Oliver shut the door behind him. There was definitely something wrong with his friend because they had to pretend to be together he could find out what's wrong and between the two of them they could sort it out.

After all that was what friends were for. His cell vibrated and then did it a second time. There were two messages. One from Lex and one from Lana. They both wanted to talk to him and now both stating where they were. He sent a quick message back telling them both to wait and he would come to then.

Clark stared at the closed door, his x-ray vision kicked in and the first image of Oliver's muscular arm he turned away before he saw anything else.

He was so confused at the moment he didn't need to see 'more' of his friend.

Lex paced for a bit waiting for Clark to appear.

"Lex." Clark said softly.

"Clark you don't like men and even if you did what the hell are you doing here with Queen?"

Clark eyed him coolly. "You don't know everything about me Lex, it's been a long time since we talked and were friends. Oliver has become one of my closest friends why wouldn't I want to be with him?"

"He won't suffer your secrets Clark, he won't wait as long as I did." Lex walked over and touched his arm. "If Oliver has something over you just tell me and I'll do everything I can to protect you."

Clark stared at Lex a little longer, it sounded as if he were jealous. "Lex, I don't lie to Oliver. He knows everything about me." He paused for a moment. "Everything." He repeated.

Lex saw red not only did Oliver Queen have Clark but he also had Clark's secrets. He slammed Clark against the wall and kissed him hard.

Clark was frozen just for a moment before he pushed Lex away. "What the fuck do you think you're doing?"

"Clark I…" He stuttered for a moment. "I've always wanted you."

"That's your problem not mine or Oliver's leave us alone." With that Clark turned away, now he had to go and see Lana.

Lana looked in the mirror and checked her make-up one more time. She knew she looked but for this it had to be perfect.

"Lana."

"Clark." She said with a smile and rushed into his arms. "I've missed you so much. You know that right? You don't have to try and make me jealous by being with Oliver or that you have to find your own millionaire."

She tiptoed to try and kiss him. Clark pushed her away. "Lana you didn't want to be with me. It hurt at the time but I think you were right."

"I was right about what?" Lana whispered her lower lip quivering.

"That we couldn't be together. Lana I think we would cause each other too much pain. You hate my secrets and I can't tell you them."

"You think Oliver is going to except that?" Her tone going cold.

Clark shook his head déjà vu. "Oliver knows my secrets."

"You told him and not me?" She shrieked.

"Oliver and I are meant to be." Clark ignored the little voice that told him how right that sounded.

Brennan had sat and watched Oliver's and Clark's quarters. He smiled as soon as the young man had left he had to take opportunities were he could.

He opened the door walked in trying to work out what to do next. Brennan was about to strip off and join the blonde in the shower. That was when the door opened, smoke escaped and out of it walked a gorgeous covered fantasy.

That was the only way he could describe a damp Oliver Queen with a towel riding low on his hips. One small tug and he would see Oliver in all his glory.

Oliver stood there confused, he looked around and Clark was gone. Jealous ran through his veins he had run off to Lana to explain.

He didn't notice Brennan walking over and pulling the towel away. When he did Brennan's hand was wrapped around his cock.

"Oliver." Clark said as he opened the door and saw the sight before him.
