Adorable, Nan. This is vintage B-plot Lois and Clark. It's sweet, funny, humorous, wonderfully ludicrous and just so - well, just
so!!! It makes me want to hug both Lois and Clark. How perfectly this fic describes the overwhelmingly strong and sincere feelings Lois and Clark have for one another, and how adorably stupidly it all comes out when they try to express their feelings to one another. There are so many great quotes I could pick out here - like everyone else, I love how Clark almost gave himself away to Lois (in vino veritas
) and how Lois was too tipsy to notice. But I think my favorite quote may be this:
"Don' get killed again," she said. "You're my best friend. I don't have another best friend. Never did." She appeared to contemplate his face for a moment. "Don't have anybody but you."
He shook his head. "I won't," he said. He put his arm around her. "You're my best friend too." He blinked at her. "You're so pretty," he added. "I thought so the first time I saw you."
"You really think so?" she asked.
He nodded. "Uh huh." He rubbed his forehead. "I think maybe I'm a little tipsy."
"Yeah," Lois said. "Me too."
"But I still mean it," he said.
"Me too."
Aaaaaaaaaawwwwwww....
I was so unbelievably slow on the uptake that I actually didn't understand why Lois was yelling at Clark at the end of this fic. I couldn't quite figure out why Lois would demand that Clark would come "down here" - where some parts of her apartment lower down than others? And why did she want Clark to come down there? I had to read Carol's comment to understand. Eh. Thanks, Carol.
Delightful, Nan. Adorable.
