I love this! It has so many emotions and feels and the right amount of angst too. I enjoyed Lois’s introspection. Her thoughts about breaking into Clark’ apartment and her not thinking through an explanation was so Lois. Clark’s shortness with Lois was understandable and I could just feel his exhaustion.
I liked the revelation the next morning and I’m glad Lois didn’t get mad. When she saw him without his glasses after he got out of the shower, I thought she might figure it out then but it’s good she didn’t because he needed sleep. In his state of exhaustion, it might not have gone so well.
I liked the following exchange. Clark’s apprehension was understandable and Lois’s reply was perfect.
His eyes widen and a dark gleam of desire lights them up. “You want me to kiss you?”
“Absolutely.”
His voice is husky and just a tad apprehensive. “Lois…”
I take both his hands in mine. “There are no doors here.”
The ending made me melt. It’s very touching. Just beautiful!
“Will you be all right?” I whisper.
His lips twitch into a small smile that is gradually becoming broader.
He nods. "With you by my side, I will be.”
Great job, bakasi! Thanks for a fantastic story! I just wish there was more!
