OK, this is my first story in almost a year and it is really short. Still, I hope people like it.

Yes, really nice, John. A good in-betweener.

Showing that a good kiss makes up for a lot.

Really enjoyed your story 
Enjoyed this paragraph--and got a kick out of the 'Only when I do thinks do you react this way' line. Clark definitely knows Lois and has settled into their relationship enough to know how to read her .
Little do they know that Clark will help Jimmy, and that this will help even Lois and his lifespans very shortly...Not to mention, with all the investigating (potential life-shortening) things the two of them get into, who knows what the future really holds for them both 
.
Gotta love a good kiss at the end 
!
Great story and answer to a challenge--thanks for the read

Lois” he said, putting the deep pleading in his voice, “What is going on. It can’t just be the ageing going on. We have dealt with weirder things than this, and you had much less reaction. Only when I do things do you react this way.” Clark took a deep breath, “Lois, what did I do. Are you sad that I left you to go be Superman, I don’t know, what’s wrong
. Quote
“Lois” Clark said, “we can’t know the future. We just got married. We will have a long and wonderful life together. I will love you no matter how old you are, or anything. You know that honey.”

So Clark took Lois in his arms and really kissed her. Then they went up to the newsroom to deal with the problems of the day.

“You take the keys” Lois said as she and Clark were heading back to the “Daily Planet”
She must be really shaken up. Usually she wants to drive when she's mad. Hmmmm. I wonder if she's ever played Pedestrian Pinball (just to freak Clark out).

“Well, we haven’t kissed for over an hour, at least not really kissed” Lois said.

A Brutal Youth story. You don't get many of those around much (unless they're just concentrating on those first few minutes). Nice little re-write!

I am glad people liked it. I always figured that if they were just coming off the Honeymoon Clark would clearly notice the change in Lois and want to get to the bottom of it. Letting her attitude linger for a day maybe made sense to the episode, but it never felt right to how an even semi-caring husband would act.

This was a very short story, yet the levels of meaning were quite deep. Lois is learning about trust and Clark is learning who he is as a husband and an outworlder.
Nicely done. Let's hope it won't be so long before we see another entry from you.
