a/n: Sorry for the long wait. I have never realized how fast each day goes by until I started this story. Lol Anyway on with the story.
Fruitbat00 : Awe, Thanks. I know what you mean about loving Lex being in worried protective mode, I do too! I'm so sorry about the confusion with the timeline. I went back and fixed it, so I hope that I cleared that up a bit. Thank you for bringing that to my attention, didn't realize that it was confusing people.
Chapter 4
Clark's POV (Future)
Lex's jealousy was extremely amusing to Clark. Every time Lex's jealousy was ignited Clark was always eager to watch as it slowly built. Now, Clark never went out of his way to make Lex jealous but with Clark being Superman… well that just meant that Lex's jealousy was getting a healthy workout every other day.
If someone wasn't close enough to know Lex, they would never know that Lex's public mask would slip quite a bit when he was jealous. To those who did know him, they definitely would see it.
He would start to frown just slightly, his sharp eyes would narrow and gain a dangerous glint, he would clench his jaw and purse his lips with his head tilted to the side, like a cat watching his prey.
Clark loved to watch Lex when it happened, because to him, it looked like his lover was a giant hunting cat watching as some interloper moved into his territory. Then before Lex would snap, he would stalk over to Clark and cut in on whatever conversation that was going on, all the while Lex would trail his hand down to Clark's lower back and there it settle as if to stake his claim over Clark for everyone to see.
Either a hunting cat or a giant bird with it's feathers all ruffled up, what with the way his is staring at the poor soul next to me.
Watching Lex's jaw muscle clench as he ground his teeth together, Clark thought to himself that yes, it was extremely amusing to watch his lover struggle with his jealousy.
