This story is a WAFFY angst-free 200 word drabble with no A plot, and not much a B plot either. I did it as a challenge to myself to create a drabble without dark emotions or thoughts and to describe Lois and Clark's thoughts using similar language in the beginning and end.

Anyone who wants to take up the challenge is more than welcome to create their own drabble, even changing the criteria to suit yourself. laugh

Comments always appreciated! hyper

Beautiful, and straight to the point...

You chose to develop one of the most important sentences Clark told Lois at the beginning of their relationship, and that defined that relationship to the end.

Quote
He explained much later just how close a friend he was and how often around.

The mirror effect of the last two sentences is perfect:

Quote
In his arms I found unconditional love and discovered his secret: that without Clark Kent, there'd be no Superman.
Quote
In her arms I found unconditional love and discovered my secret: that without Lois Lane, there'd be no Superman.
Brava!

This was short, simple and beautifully to the point. They need each other now and forever. Thanks for a touch of romance!

Short and beautifully done! I really admire how you cut directly to the heart of the matter. I love the duality - how each of them have that mirrored moment of revelation and reflection. They really do need each other, those too. Loved it!

Thanks Morgana and Deadly Chakram!
I'm delighted you both enjoyed this bit of romance so close to Valentine's Day.

How sweet. I love the image of Lois relaxing in Superman's arms when all others would've been terrified. How could he not have fallen more in love with her? I love that it took both Lois and Clark to make a Superman. clap laugh

Thanks, Virginia! hyper
In this case, 1 + 1 = 1. (1 Lois) + (1 Clark) = 1 Superman. goofy
love
