Chapter Two Part Two- UST:

The warm steam of a much needed shower had caused the Kent bathroom to be full of steam as Clark Kent bowed his head over the nozzle and let the warm water drip down his muscular back.

He was lucky to even get warm water after Lois's brief stint in the bathroom, and even the smell of her mango kiwi shampoo was enough for Clark to wish for a cold shower instead.

It was unbeknownst to him that Lois had silently slipped into the bathroom where she paused to admired the silhouette behind the shower curtain, her mind soon drifted off to a place that she quickly snapped out of by thinking, 'Your cousin's missing and all you can think about is hoping into that shower with Smallville?'

A smirk appeared on her face at the other idea which popped into her head and she simply turned towards the mirror still drying the residue of wetness from her hair while she called out, "Nothing like a little North by Northwest action to get the blood pumping, huh?"

She strangled a laugh when she watched Clark freeze at the sound of her voice and watched at he peeled open with just enough space for his one eye to scan over her, that smirk that she had been fighting broke out at the sight of Clark checking her out from behind the shower curtain.

He quickly shut the curtain saying, "We usually take turns in the bathroom."

Lois just let out a small chuckle before grabbing her brush and responding with slight amusement, "Well, my delicate feminine sensibilities weren't offended the first time I got a glimpse of Clark Junior."

Clark just shakes his head and turns off the stream of water saying, "My parents weren't too lenient on me the last time they caught me in a co-ed situation."

Lois just smirked when she saw Clark's head peek out before he quickly grabbed a towel and came out with it wrapped around his waist, "I know, from what Chloe tells me. You and this Alicia Baker were pretty hot and heavy after a first date, she even told me about how your dad caught you getting to second base in your bedroom."

He grew kind of nervous and just plastered it with a fake smile, "Just forget it, all right?" he was about to head out when he stopped at the sight of the red/gold flannel that she was sporting, "That's my shirt."

Lois set her brush down and turned to face him saying, "It's the only thing I could find that was clean…" she walks closer to him causing the young farm boy to back straight into the spare door with a small gulp when Lois leaned up with her lips barely touching his as she whispered, "But if you want it back, you can just take it off me right now."

Clark couldn't believe what he was hearing, in fact that farm boy stood perfectly still afraid of what to do and say, but luckily Lois just started laughing to herself and turned back to the mirror saying, "Relax, Smallville." she pauses when she sees him take a deep breath, "I think its time for you to stop being so serious…" she said while pointing her brush at him only to have Clark plaster on a fake smile and head towards the door.

"Right." he says with a little bit of sarcasm, "Like I don't know how to have fun….I'm Mr. Fun-Stuff" he jerks the door open and his eyes go wide at the sight of his mom before him, "Mom!" he exclaims quick to press the door against his shoulder trying his best to shield Lois from his Mother's line of sight, "Y-You're home."

Martha Kent just smiled holding fresh towels in her hands, the motherly smile on her face soon vanished to one of surprise when Lois Lane's head popped over Clark's shoulder with a huge smile as she said, "Hi, Mrs. Kent."

Clark stares at his mother while trying to find the right words until, "I can explain this…."

Martha looked between them before responding, "Downstairs…10 minutes…" she turned to walk away still slightly shocked but with a hidden smirk on her face.

Clark just pressed his head against the doorway in frustration while Lois went back to brushing her hair, "I think that went well…"

Ten Minutes Later…

Lois and Clark sat side by side completely dressed while Jonathan stared at them with his arms crossed over his chest and the angry fatherly look he often sported whenever Clark was caught doing something wrong, which really didn't happen as often as expected.

For argument's stake, Martha plastered on a disappointed look on her face as well despite the fact she was hiding that smirk that wanted to break free.

"Your non-verbals are killing me, and don't understand what the big deal is here. We just took a shower."

Clark immediately bumped in saying, "Showers. We took separate showers."

Jonathan and Martha looked at them in disbelief, "At Noon?" questioned Martha while Jonathan stared at them waiting for a reply which was soon to be blurted out by their own son.

"We went to Chloe's safe house." Clark exclaimed still nervous under the piercing gaze of his father, those eyes were often the mirror into a white lie and often was the reason to how Clark Kent could never get away with anything that most teenagers could get away with.

Lois looks at him annoyed and simply cuts in before Jonathan could start lecturing, "We only trespassed on a government crime scene because of Clark's x-ray thingy."

Jonathan, not knowing that the general's daughter had in fact know about Clark's powers but until today had never actually voiced her knowledge of said abilities to the elder Kents.

Lois could see the Kent's gaze move towards Clark, who soon explained everything that had transpired since the graveyard except for the incident in the Kent Bathroom.

It wasn't until Clark had finished that Jonathan finally exploded, "You mean to tell me that for the past three years, Lois Lane has know about your secret and you didn't even bother to tell us?"

Clark couldn't get a word in when Jonathan cut him off saying, "And now you two think that the Sullivans survived the safe house explosion."

Lois and Clark just nodded, they had been silent through the whole small Jonathan Kent small rant until Martha finally intervened saying, "Why don't you two go upstairs…"

The two teens were quick to rush upstairs with Lois quick to punch him in the arm saying, "Way to go, Smallville."

"Me? If you hadn't walked into bathroom, we would never have been caught…" he says walking ahead of her until Lois walked past him saying, "Don't try and deny that you weren't checking me out from behind that shower curtain."

Clark stood their speechless while Martha just waited until they were all the way upstairs to turn to her husband who just plopped down in the previous stool occupied by his son while Martha just rubbed his back saying, "At least he'll have someone to talk to instead of hiding out in the loft. Since Pete left, Clark's been trying so hard to act like a normal teenager while keeping people away from his secret. Maybe knowing that its Lois who knows his secret will be less of a burden."

Jonathan turned and asked, "How? We're going to have to keep Clark on the couch while Lois stays here and what about the fact that they use to date?"

Martha just smiled and patted Jonathan on the cheek saying, "However good they may be at hiding their feelings, that old Kent Charm has its way of showing up when you least expect it."

Jonathan slid off the stool and walked towards Martha, his hands slipped around her saying, "What would I do without you?"

Martha thought it over before replying, "You'd probably be married to Nell Potter."

He just laughed at the idea and kissed Martha on the cheek before heading back out to the barn, but what Jonathan didn't know was that Martha was secretly rooting for Clark and Lois to re-establish their once tarnished relationship.

SO?
