Lois & Clark Forums Forums Fan Fiction Lois & Clark Fanfic FDK: Falling For a Farm Boy (12/16)

From Chapter 13...

He asked for the check, paid, and when they arrived back at the car, Clark opened the passenger door for Lois. Once he was settled into the driver’s seat, he turned to her. “I’ve been thinking,” he said.

Was he going to suggest they go parking? “Yes?” she squeaked.

“I don’t think we should continue meeting in the barn in the middle of the night,” he said.

“Oh?” she said, inexplicably disappointed.

“You can’t keep working full days with interrupted sleep every night.”

“I’m OK.”

“I would like to continue meeting – and checking on Bess, of course – but earlier. Say nine to ten o’clock. We could have hot chocolate. Chat. Get you to bed at a reasonable time so you can have a full night’s sleep.”

That sounded good. Very good. “I’d like that.”

He smiled, another of those warm, melting smiles that felt like a hug to her heart. “Let’s go then.”

“To the barn?”

“To the barn.”


Thanks to everyone who is reading along.

Corrina.

Thanks for another terrific chapter! I love this story a lot and I can’t wait for the next chapter!

It was nice seeing Martha tease Clark and laugh again. It’s good that she is going to Wichita with Anna to see a show. She’s moving forward with her life which is great.

It will be interesting to see what happens with Jack. I’m very curious about his relationship to Lois. Sometimes I think he’s Lois’s half brother and other times I think he’s not. I just have to stay patient and see what happens.

I’m looking forward to more of the date. The last two sentences are telling. Yes, Clark is a farmer in Kansas and Lois is a reporter in Metropolis and that’s their problem. I’m a total sap and like to believe that love wins in the end. I hope more is coming soon! Thank you!

Hmm, so Martha instantly got what's going on - or, well, what is the reasonable assumption even if Clark an dLois won't see it yet. It was nice to see her getting better and more of her old self. I'm somewhat surprised on her 180 on a possible Clark/Lois though, since in a previous chapter I got the impression she was...not so happy about the possibility. Lois intergation into the farm life of the two might have changed her mind a bit though.
Yeah, no shot Lois, Clark has more abilities. You don't even know half of it yet.
So...Lois finally starts admitting some of her feelings for Clark to herself. Good for you girl.
Uh yeah, Clark would know all about hot it feels to need to get neough sunlight. :-)
Poor Clark, so many possibilities to use his powers, and yet he won't cause it'd look suspicious. I feel like this version of Clark is a whole lot more paranoid about convenient use of his powers even in his own belongings than Canon Clak ever was.
So many questions to ask, wanting to know all the details. That's just so Lois.
Hmm, one wonders if Clark, who's just a fw years older, is willing to stay on the Kent farm forever. Well, that remains to be seen.
Clark would know all about hot hard it is "not to know" stuff. We don't know how much he nknows about his own Krypto-background here, so I can totally imagine he has so many questions unanswered, so obviously he'd be sympathetic to Jack in this regard.
So MArtha is starting social life again. Good for her. And yeah, renting a car you don't use is a waste, indeed. (Though if she takes the car to town, how is she coming back? Ah, I guess Anna can take her)
Well yeah, benefits (or disadvantages, depending on the situation) of a small town: everyone knows everyone and thinks everything is their business.
Argh, these nasty little "facts", who needs them? These two, that is...
So...distance relationship, then? Not that big a deal when one of the parties can fly. Ah, stuff to figure out for the next time.

I'm curious to know how their date went. Looking forward to the next part.

I'm missing this story. Next part, please?

Andreia

Whew! Yes, that is the center of this story. There are worlds of difference between these two people who clearly love one another. But eventually Lois will have to decide what world she wants to live in. Part of her considers this 'date' to be fact finding mission, yet another part... a larger part cannot help spending time with the young farmer with the heartbreakingly beautiful smile.

There is also young Jack to consider.

Martha wanting the best for her son.

What about a certain Man of Steel?

Truly enjoyed the description of taking care of the old trees. Harvesting dead trees to get firewood for the winter is what my father-in-law used to do before they finally gave up the wood burning stove and purchased a furnace. Your expertise required from living on a farm is shining through.

Looking forward to seeing how this story wraps up.

So happy to be in the DATE CHAPTER!

PERFECT set-up! This was so fun!

Love that she's calling it like she sees it! Perfectly practical!!



Such a distinction!

She's really going to have a lot of puzzle pieces she'll be able to snap together one day.

This just has to be killing him.

I still can't tell if he's trying to keep her safe or himself safe. It's a delightful push-pull.

This feels like the newsroom!

Awwww! Love your writing structure here!

Can't help but feel that the motivation for this is at least part of a Martha match-making scheme! lol

Love getting this perspective from Lois!

I would dearly love to get the POV on the other side of this conversation!

OMG, what a crushing start to this date! Ouch!

Can't wait to get to the next part!!
