I read this last night and then my internet went down and I couldn't respond. Thankfully I had opened your story before I went off to tuck the kids in (again), so I could still read it with the internet off.

Whoa! Lois proposing a laka relationship after only like 4 days. dizzy

"Were you happy? Really happy in your marriage?"

"It was all I ever wanted. To be married. To have a family." To belong with someone.
So, no?

If he told Lois the truth, there would be no going back. He would open the door that would inevitably lead to torment so great, his heart withered at the thought of it.
It's so sad that Clark only see torment with love, not happiness.

Quote
It wouldn't be all right. He should tell her now. I'm not what you think. I'm not human. I can't be what you need.
How does he know that? He doesn't know what she needs.

Quote
You have to tell her, his conscience insisted.

But he couldn't.
I agree to disagree. He should tell her, but I'm not sure this is the right moment. If he told her now, she might panic (as would be expected) and then he would bolt. And then this story would go in another direction.

"But now I see the things I didn't have. Things I didn't think I needed. Things I was happy to live without … until I met you."

"Do you believe I can give you those things?"
Um... yes. [Linked Image]

"After I've talked with Matymbou, it will be up to us to decide what we want. We can have a laka-marriage if you want. You will be Kent Laka-Lois. I will be Lois Laka-Kent."

"I want …" He wanted far more than 'pledging'. Clark swallowed, trying to moisten an impossibly dry throat.
All that without ever having had one kiss. laugh Oh, and Lois, Kent wants to bomoi you.

Quote
"You can have as much time as you need to decide what you want," Lois said.
In other words, Lois has already made her decision.

Quote
He was Kent ...

Pseudo-Bangala.

Still not with people of his own.

But with Lois.

And for now, nothing else mattered.
Awwwww. And, technically, Lois too wasn't with people of her own when she arrived either, but she's hasn't fared badly.
