Hi Susan!

Oooh! Seasonal! hyper

This is so much better than Arbor Day.

If only one of them had a camera and could take a picture of us, we could freeze this moment in time.

Do we look like a married couple, like Clark has found his rightful place in my apartment, by my side?

Lois would make a great Sith Lady! The volatile temper. The tendency to overcook stuff. And I’m sure she could seduce even Superman to the Dark Side.

Okay, I’ll admit, reading this *after* a Star Wars marathon and Episode VII might have skewed my impression a bit blush

Quote
Do they assume he’ll never leave, that the lights will eventually flick off and we’ll turn away from the window and head for the bedroom as they continue down the street in search of another couple to serenade?
Okay, then. I’ll be over yonder if that’s all right with you.

pushing gently to see if there’s more than I’ve been willing to admit.

And that’s okay, because we don’t need words – we never have.
Plus…/points at the whole Luthor/proposal fiasco/

Quote
It all hurts too much, not because of how it feels, but because I know now how it feels when it’s gone.
Awwww…

Quote
The me that embraces fire and heat and pain. The me that’s willing to put a name to it, claim it for everything it could be, risk touching it and being burned.

Quote
And yet, here he is, his hand on my waist and his head tipped against mine, and he must know how I feel, how I’d stand here forever if it meant this feeling would never go away.
Or maybe he’s a creepy stalker with a Lois Lane fixation.
KYLE GRIFFIN: Hey! Copyright infringement!

Quote
But it’s here: this time, this place. And still, I hesitate, and I’m so angry at myself for being such a coward, for waiting for him to decide that this is the right time and place.
Wouldn’t it be awkward if she started to say them and he gets a Superman call?

Quote
He sways imperceptibly closer to me, then swallows visibly before backing away and saying, “The food’s probably getting cold. We should eat.” His hand slides off my waist.

So I was wrong – it wasn’t the right time. But it will be – I’ll make sure it is before he leaves my place.

He gently puts his hand against my arm to halt my non-stop babbling. “You didn’t have to go through all the trouble. I would have come even if it was just turkey sandwiches.”
TRANSLATION: I really hope the food is edible. Or not…well…poisonous.

Quote
“This is delicious.” He tilts his head and arches his eyebrow playfully. “Where did you order it from?”
clap

Quote
I try to summon my best mock indignation. “Hey! I’ll have you know it took a good ten minutes to transfer all of this food from the plastic containers onto my fancy dishes.”

Quote
“And besides, ordering take-out is a highly developed skill in its own right. You can’t just pick up food from anywhere – you have to do your homework and find the best places. So that’s research. And you have to order in advance, so that takes organizational skills.”

Quote
“I think I met him and didn’t realize what I had. I think I was so afraid of accepting everything we could have together that I ended up hurting him so badly that he’ll never try again.”
There there…I’m sure Lex will try again once they have pieced enough of him back together for him to walk or, you know, talk.

Quote
I smile shyly, because I can hear how sincerely he means that. Still, he did sacrifice time with his parents, who he only sees occasionally,
Well…weekends. Or, rather his days off, I guess. huh

Quote
I clear my throat. “So, are you going to fly out there tomorrow?”

He drops my hand, and an odd expression of shock crosses his face.
laugh

Quote
Impulsively, he stands, accidentally knocking over his chair, and he grabs me. I squeal with laughter as he cradles me in his arms, shifting my weight insecurely as if he’s about to drop me.
Sounds like he practiced.

Quote
I’m not sure what expression I wear, but it’s making him nervous; I can see the wary trepidation on his face,
So, her ‘Superman groupie’ expression?

Quote
I think that when I get too close, when he comes too close to revealing his feelings, that he flies off to find a lid that will more securely fit the box around his heart
No, it’s actually the writers trying to torture the audience with UST.

Quote
I try to speak, but my emotions squeeze tightly in my chest and the only thing that escapes my lips is, “Wow.”

Clark’s face transforms and brightens – his eyes glitter playfully. He laughs lightly and says, “Yeah.”

Who would have guessed that three small letters would be enough?
clap

Quote
and I need to find something to say before I surrender to the rising heat and crawl over the table to claim him.
shock That could work.

Quote
His lovely present sparkles in the twinkling light from the tree and I clear my throat. “Thanks again for the ornament. It’s beautiful.”
Yes. Superman and how he had never actually died that night in the casino make for a very safe topic indeed.

Quote
Clark nods and looks away as if he’s slightly embarrassed. “He heated the glass, let it cool in a mold, then cut the edges. It was kind of a pain in the butt.” He shrugs, then mumbles, “Apparently.”
rotflol Also, he wasn’t supposed to *sit* on it!

Quote
“I think I just wanted you to understand. You, me, him...there’s something about us that’s all the same. ‘We are made of star stuff.’”
Did he just proposition…them…all three of them…together…?

Quote
I gasp, holding my breath. Because it’s suddenly so clear: why he disappears, why I feel the same way about two different men, why it’s so easy in this moment to imagine him wearing a tight-fitting uniform.
Oh boy.

Quote
they fall as my thumb caresses the engraving centered on the ornament’s other side – the letters C and K surrounded by a heart.
Ooooh! Nice one!

Quote
“Deal,” he says with a wink. Then he leans slightly towards me and asks, “Am I really getting off that easily?”
Umm…[Linked Image] [Linked Image]

Quote
“Oh, I reserve the right to be furious at a later date. Just consider this a Christmas miracle for now.”
clap

Quote
I know he does. I’ve known it all along. And since I never actually gave him a present tonight, I can at least give him the words I know he’d treasure more than any tie I could buy at the mall.
Well…considering how hard it is for him to buy a suitable tie, I’m not so sure laugh

Quote
“I love you too, Clark.” I sigh dramatically, then add, “I tolerate you, Superman.”

Quote
“Eh,” I said with disinterest, “Everyone has their flaws.”
Yes, but his flaw can bring chocolate. And do interesting things on the ceiling.

Two hydrogen atoms fuse in the core of a star, and the radiant energy consumes us.
