Mmm, I think I just melted into a puddle of goo!
This was such a beautiful and heartfelt fic!
I loved so much of the dialog, but this bit just really stuck out to me.
“Lois,” He ran a hand through her hair. “Lois, I think I love you.”
Lois stared at him, not quite believing. “How could you? I’m… difficult.”
“Beguiling,” He countered.
“Headstrong.”
“Intelligent.”
“Intense,” she concluded, continuing to berate herself.
“Lois.” The gentle force of his words stopped her. “This isn’t how I imagined doing this. I’m not even sure you’re ready to hear it. But I had to let you know. When we kiss… how can you believe them?”
So perfectly Lois and Clark! Lois only sees the negative aspects of her personality, but luckily, she has Clark to point out her good sides as well.
I wasn't quite sure how Clark was going to react to Lois' little charade, so I was very glad to see that he took it all in stride and realized the deeper emotions behind it all. People can be so cruel.
Any chance for a sequel?
