Disclaimer I don't own Smallville

Chloe pushed Davis off of her embaressed and she went into the hallway to meet Andrea. Then Andrea smirked and said, "Into brothers much?"

Chloe for once was tongue tied which hardly ever happened. Then Davis shot Andrea a look and she said, "Relax, guys."

Then Chloe said, "You work here. That's why you looked so familar to me, I must have seen you around."

"I can blend when I want to." Andrea said.

"Yeah, Andrea Rojas blend with other people. Sure." Davis said smirking.

Andrea smiled and then said, "Well, I got to get back to work but you know after wards we should hang. Hey why not tonight we should all go on a double date."

"Thanks Andrea but I'm kind of busy with all of the investigating." Chloe said.

Andrea smirked and said, "I bet you are."

Chloe ignored that comment and pretend she didn't notice Andrea's nuance.

Then George came out of no where and he came towards them. Then Chloe looked at him suspciouly and said, "What are you doing here?"

"Well, I just came here to see my... girl." He said as he gave Andrea a quick peck on the cheek.

"Right." Chloe said.

Chloe was feeling really awkward. She supposed George could be telling her the truth, but there was something suspicous about the way he was looking at them.

George smiled in slight triumph. Then Suddenly Clark showed up. Davis started to get all weird again. His eyes grew red and he said, "What are you some kind of Chloe stalker?"

Clark deathly glare bore at Davis and he said, " I should ask you the same thing? Me and Chloe have been friends for years."

Then George looked at his brother and looked at Clark as he seemed to come to some kind of realization.

Chloe saw this explosion about to happen. She knew this just wasn't in her mind. There really was something about these two just being in the same room together that was some how dangerous. Then she grabbed Davis' hand and said, "Now guys relax I'm a big girl neither of you are stalkers alright."

Then Clark said, "No it's not alright. Chloe you barely know him and you're living with him and going all PDA all over the Planet."

Chloe held Davis's hand tight and slightly squeezed and then she looked at Clark and said, "Clark, my personal life is none of your business."

"Chloe, you can't trust these guys you've barely met."

Then George went in front of Clark and said, "Relax Clark. Chloe and Davis are together now and you're just going to have to deal with it."

Then Clark said, "She barely knows him."

"Haven't you ever heard of love at first sight?" George asked.

"Sure but..."

"But what Clark? It is what is. Just let it be and don't worry about Chloe. We'll protect her." George said and then he pat Clark on his back.

"We'll it was nice bumping into you Clark. I'll see you later." George said.

Then Clark gave one look back at Chloe and saw her leaning into Davis as he leaned into her holding her hand. Clark then left.

George seemed pretty pleased with himself and then after she was sure Clark was gone she let go of his hand.

Then George said, "Well, that's that, I'm glad you two crazy kids are together so I was thinking..."

Then he was stopped at Chloe's evil glare at both of them. She folded her arms and then he said, "Aren't you two...?"

Chloe glared at both of them and said, "Davis, George, the supply closet. Now!"

Both guys follwed her like obeying puppies.

The supply closet was more like a supply room with shelves of pens, paper, and other miscilanious supplies. There was a little wiggle room but not much.

Then as they came in Chloe locked the door and she asked, "What the hell was that?"

"What? I was just defending against your annoying over protective friend. Seriously with him around how do you ever get la..." George said.

"No what's going on with Davis and why does he...why does his eyes turn red around my best freind?" Chloe asked.

George shrugged and said, "It must have been the flurescent lighting or his contacts are bad or something."

Chloe looked at him and said, "Bull shit!"

Then Davis said, "Fine, Chloe I don't know why your over protective douchbag friend has that effect on me. But I may I have some what of a mood disorder and when cofronted with ill feelings I...it's not pretty. For some reason you make me calm so when you touched me..."

"I tamed you." Chloe said.

"Yeah." Davis said.

George didn't seem pleased but he took it with stride and looked at Chloe curiously and said, "That doesn't weird you out or anything?"

Chloe scoffed and said, "Please weird is my middle name. So what? Is Davis meteor infected?"

Then Davis said, "George seems to think so, I'm not so sure."

The George said, "When we were visitng Smallville I came across a lot of strange people with powers and read the Torch and I searched the weird articles and the theory about the meteor rock. I figured it was the same situation with Davis."

Then Chloe turned to Davis and asked, "So when did you realize about this affect I have on you?"

"The first time I met you. It was like there was something drawing me to you. In dangerous situations I get dangerous but when I saw you, something was calming and..."

"So that's why... you...it's all about this affect I have on you." Chloe said.

Then Davis looked into her eyes and said, "I don't know. All I know is I never felt this way before. I don't know if it's chemical, biological or what ever. All I know is when I'm around you everything feels better."

Chloe swooned. Chloe locked eyes with Davis, they connected in a deep uncanny unexpected unexplainable way. There was like there was some kind of force between them. She some how calmed him. What ever made his eyes red, what ever anger or hate or voltile thing that happened to Davis she calmed it, she tamed him. She didn't know what it was, all she knew was when she touched him he was at peace. He was thrown away so much by society, the world hasn't treated him well, those were part of the reasons she was hesitant, but that wasn't just it, she was of afraid of letting herself fall. Now that she had to, now that he needed her to save him it was a little easier to give in. She had a reason to hide behind. He needed her, she had to help him. She was never one to turn someone away who needed her.

Then Chloe said, "OK, now that is out in the open, we can get back to business. AJ knows doesn't he?"

George looked at Davis signaling him not to say anything. Davis ignored his brother's pleading jesture and said, "A.J. recruited me in the intergang. He...he has seen some things. He tried to use me to kill the rival gang but I refused but then he saw something that scared the shit out of him."

"What?" Chloe asked intensely involved in Davis story and in anticiapating fear of the answer.

Davis moved his lips trying to say something but no words came out.

Then after a moment of silence he asked, "Can it be a story for another time?"

Davis voice was embedded intense fear and tenderness.

Chloe looked up barely breathing. She looked into his chocolate brown eyes gazing into his tortured soul.

"Of course Davis, when ever you are ready. I know we haven't known eachother for very long. So I don't expect to know all of your secrets right away but for some reason I know you can tell me when you are ready."

Davis touched her hand lightly deeply touched.

George sighed loudly and then he said, "We better get going before people start talking."

Chloe agreed, she felt she had to pry herself away from Davis' loving gaze to unlocked the door.

As they went back into the lobby Chloe said, "Maybe Andrea was right and we should all go out on a double date."

Then George said, "Actually, I have some work to catch up on. Maybe we should all catch up later."

"Oh yeah." Chloe said. Now that she knew she needed to stay with Davis she craved to have other people surround her too. She would like to relax and have fun with Andrea and George. Being alone with Davis was intense. She felt herself being drawn to him more and more. Her heart beat extreamly fast around him. She had to be around him now. She knew this. She couldn't leave his side now and she didn't want to but it would have been nice to have a fun loving distraction like George and Andrea. She didn't know them well but what she could tell they looked just like the fun loving people just for the job.

George looked as Davis and Chloe left hand in hand. Andrea put her arm around George's shoulder and said, "Oh George, please tell me Mr. Cool is not pinning."

George scoffed and said, "Me pine? I don't pine."

"Good. It's not really attractive." Andrea said as she ruffled his hair.

He lightly hit her on the hand hand said, "Don't mess with the hair."

"So did I hear you right? Did you actually miss out on the oppurtunity for us to double date? I thought that was the whole point of us mock dating?"

"The point was to get Chloe and Davis together. They're together. Mission accomplished." George said tensely and irritated.

"I thought that is what you wanted?"

"I did. I do. I just don't want it to happen like this. I don't want her to be with him because she has to. I want her to be with him because she wants to. She was supposed to see how awesome Davis was and get together with him and she could just be his cure by just being with him." George said.

"And what? Just hope she'll be OK being in a relationship with secrets and lies? Andrea asked.

"I was hoping she'd already see who he really was and she'd be so in love with him she wouldn't care." George said.

"Well, either way from what I saw it didn't look like she was with him out of obligation."

That sentense made him uncomfortable.

"So is it the how and the why that they're together or is it the fact that they're together?" Andrea asked.

Then George said, "Andy, this was my idea. Davis would never go after her if I didn't push him into this, not with all of his self loathing issues."

Andrea took his hand and pulled him into the supply closet.

"Look George, Davis has this huge problem that you have always been there to help him fix but I don't think this plan of yours is going to work, if you're jonesing for her."

"Andy, she's with the right guy. Sure I wouldn't mind to get to know her in another life time if it wasn't clear that Chloe and Davis are meant for each other but in this life time it is clear. Chloe can cure him from letting the monster taking over, true love doesn't get any more clearer then that."

Andrea rolled her eyes and put her hands on her hips and said, "Come on George I saw that kiss."

George shrugged, "It's not important. What is important is finding this cure for Davis."

"I thought Chloe was the cure?"

"Look, I don't want her to be with him just because she has to. And no matter what I have always vowed I would get to the bottom of what is causing this. And it looks like this Clark guy is the key."

"So what are you going to do? Stalk the stalker?"

George smirked, "That's exactly what we're going to do. If you're game?"

Andrea smirked and said, "I'm always game for a little sleuthing. Besides I always love when you go all sidekick on me."

"Hey, I'm no side kick"

She patted his hair and said, "Sure you're not."

"Don't touch the hair." George squirmed.

***

Chloe arrived in her dormroom and rushed to her wall of weird and started putting down articles.

"What are you doing?" Davis asked.

"Well, I need to look through all of these and see if there's any case that may have anything to do with what is going on with you."

"I don't think anyone is like me Chloe." Davis said.

"Being unique isn't a bad thing Davis."

"It is when you're me."

Chloe looked up at Davis and saw the pain, the torture, and the loneliness in his eyes. She wanted to make all of the pain go away completely.

Then hse kissed him on the cheek and said, "Davis I know I don't know you but what I do know of you is that you are...good."

"What makes you think that? You know Iwas in a gang. You know I get all messed up whn I'm around your friend. You know..."

Chloe cut him off and said, "I know you saved my life. I know you and your brother tke care of each other no matter what. I know that despite living on the streets you've rose out of it and dedicated your life to save peoples lives."

Davis stared with grateful awe.

Davis took Chloe's hand within his and gazed with in her emarld eyes. He cupped his hand on her rosey warm cheek and Chloe wrapped her arms around him. He smoothed his hand through her blonde locks. He grabbed her and pulled her close to him. He pressed his lips against her smothering her lips with his own, tasting her, taking her in desperately. She pushed him against her desk the wall of weird articles flew passed them scatering around the room. Chloe didn't seem to notice. She was more intersted in his kisses opening her mouth inviting him in. Davis eagerly accepted the invitation. His arms slid down her shoulder as he was about to tear off her red blazer but then he stopped both feeling a slight breeze and they both jumped up embaressed as they saw Clark and Lana come in.

Then irritated Chloe asked, "Clark what the hell? Don't you knock?"

Then Clark spat back and said, "Lana lives here too! And you're not even suposed to be here you're supposed to be shacked up with two perfect strangers."

Davis touched his head in pain and he grabbed Chloe's hand. He had scrunched up in pain but as he held her hand his posture became straight again and he said, "Well, we just came for a few things. We should be going."

Clark piercingly glared at Davis suspciously and said, "Chloe, I think we need to talk, just you and me. Alone."

Chloe huffed out and bit her lip. She saw the tortured scared protective look on Clark's face. She knew she was breaking his heart a little by totally opposing him and not just going with him and talking with him. She still cared at about him tremedously. She would do anything for him. She still was his best friend. She didn't want him to think otherwise, but she couldn't leave Davis' side right now. He needed her, they needed to figure this out, together.

Then she said, "Now is not a good time."

"Well, when you can pry yourself away from your boyfriend you barely know from one second let me know. You know Lana is my girlfriend but I still have time for you." Clark said.

Then Lana softly put her hand on Clark's hand and gently said, "Come on Clark, they just got together, give them some time."

"Thanks, Lana." Chloe said grateful she had her friend to stand up for her. They both knew how Clark could get.

Then Lana saw the way Chloe tugged on Davis and then she looked at Clark full of misery. He looked at Chloe like his puppy just died. She knew how Clark could get when someone tried to date one of his female friends. He was extreamly over protective. This was differnt somehow. Clark had found her and told exasperated how Chloe had pratically picked some strange guy who snapped at him, over him her best friend. He never thought Chloe would pick anyone over their friendship ever again. There was once when she picked her career but she paid for that and they both grew from that their friendship coming even closer. He didn't get how Chloe could pick some guy over him after everything they have been through. Lana tried really hard not to make this about her self, but old fears came burning up to the surface. Old fears about Chloe's closeness with Clark. She couldn't tell him about her fears, she had to appease him, things were good with them lately, mostly because she wasn't going to let old fears of secrets and lies and feelings for a certian best friend get in the way. For all she knew all of that really was just in her head.

Lana wanted to make things right so she said, "You know it could be fun if we all hung out."

Chloe swallowed hard and spoke carefully, "I don't think that is such a good idea."

Then Lana said still trying to keep it light, "Come on Chloe it could be fun and we could all get to know each other."

Then Clark said, "Don't bother Lana, Chloe doesn't have time for us."

"Clark." Both Lana and Chloe said at the same time.

Then Davis looked at both girls as he still held tight to Chloe and said, "You know maybe Lana has a point. It might be fun to try to all get to know each other."

Chloe looked at Davis pleadingly and a bit scared. She wanted to talk to him in private, but with Clark and his super hearing around there was no such thing as privacy. So then she said, "But I thought you don't like each other."

"I think we just had a bad first meeting and an unsavory first impression. I'd like to change that. Clark, I don't want to be the big bad guy that took your friend away from you. It would be a good idea for us to get to know each other. "

Clark stared at him unsure and then Davis put his hand out in friendship ready for him to shake, his other hand was around Chloe's waist. Then Davis said full of charm, "How about it Clark? How about we barry the hatchet and start over?"

Clark stared at Davis' arm wearliy and then swallowed his pride and shook Davis' hand firmly and said, "Yeah, I could manage that. How about we talk alone?"

"No, I think this whole double date thing is a better idea, I really don't want to kick your ass, it defeats the whole barry the hatchet purpsoe."

"Right."

Then Chloe chimed in and said, "Great, this should be fun."
