Hi! EEP! I'm sooooo behind with FDK still.
hidesSummary: Thanks to a slow news week, Lois has had way too much time on her hands. Clark quickly finds himself in over his head when her game of twenty questions starts to get a little too close to the truth.
Ooooooh…only, why is it on the light side of the boards?
In celebration, I present a not-so-ficlet ficlet!
/Adjusts scale for author/ beautiful fliclet from Bek
Yeah, yeah. Still maybe shorter than a few of Sara's A/N at least
He wanted to kick himself
Could he do it if he’s fast enough?
Um....I...don't know? It might be more of a flexibility thing than a speed thing? Which means....we should totally find out .
“You know, Lois, maybe you’re right. Maybe he lives most of his life doing…something else,” he said. And he wanted to kick himself again. Why would he even give her mind more fodder? Validate her argument?
Doing something else? Like Wonder Woman?
...
What do you think Superman would do as a career?
Video rental place. He clerks there. Or, maybe, and that’s maybe a bit out there, maybe he’s a writer? Doing sci-fi books and stuff?
Ohhhhh, sci-fi writer! What a great idea! Someone should, you know, write that!
. With a heavy sigh, Clark looked up at Lois.
“Uh, defective cup, I guess?”
Hehehehe
You can contact him, I’ve seen it,” she said. “He must have…a cell phone?”
Clark waves his colorful tie. It can be seen from two miles up in the air.
It’s not like his suit has any pockets.”
Pouch. In the front. He just tries to remember to not put it on ‘vibrate’.
OMG.
facepalm. “And…how did you get his number?
I have said it before. I’ll say it again. Superman sleeps in Clark’s bed.
That's kinda true. I guess. Technically.
And if you want to know, you’ll have to ask him yourself,
Is that a challenge? Did he hurt his head during Nightfall?
Ask him myself?”
Oh God, he’d really just said that, hadn’t he?
See?
Yeah... LOL
He couldn’t believe how close he’d been to just hauling her off to the nearest conference room and telling her the truth.
Maybe it’s really time he introduces her to his boyfriend?
I totally deserve that one.
You can contact him right now, can’t you?”
He just needs to undress and Superman will show up immediately.
Although he’d already been lying to her for how long now?
Quantitatively, it was longer than Lex lied to her, personally. Qualitatively, Lex probably did more lying than Clark and she still agreed to meet him at the altar. Which means … he should first ask her to marry him.
YES! That's definitely what he should do!!!!
He sighed. “What if…he does have a normal life, Lois? Don’t you think he’d…tell you if he was…ready to? What if he has a reason for…waiting?”
Like, he’s married.
LOL. Did she ever even consider that?
She scooted her chair closer, and his heart started racing—for more than one reason.
I get the sense that he’s a smidge infatuated with her.
Just a little......!
Except you, for some reason. And that—hey, that’s right. Why you, Clark? You never answered that earlier. Why you and not me? Come to think of it…
/points to author’s Legacy/
Her eyes widened, and she straightened up in her chair. “Ohhh, I see! It makes perfect sense now!”
Lois read that one, too!
He didn’t really want to know, but he asked anyway. “What, Lois? What makes perfect sense?”
“You knew him before he was Superman!”
Oops?
KAL:
Yeah, yeah, I ... didn't go there though
“You two must be…” Her hand came up to cover her mouth, and her eyes widened even more, suddenly filled with some sort of understanding.
KAL:
He closed his eyes and ran a nervous hand through his hair. “Lois—”
“Are you jealous?”
Jealous? What?
“Jealous? Why would I be—”
because his boyfriend is flirting with Lois.
KAL:
Hahahaha!
“So, um, that was…fun!” He hooked a thumb toward the door. “I’m just gonna head on out to, you know… Uh…call me…on my cell if you…need to. You…have my number!”
He might wanna bring chocolate.
/makes note on Kerth list/
