Love this kind of revelation, where Lois catches Clark floating in his sleep. And a very funny delivery, as usual. Thank you so much for keeping Ficlet Friday alive!

Ficlet Friday is such a cool idea! One of these days I'm going to join the party!

Thanks for a very funny story. I wish Lois had found out this way! LOL!!

This was so much fun! A perfect, satisfying Friday snack!

Clark shrugged. "They'll probably just give us—" Oh! His eyes darted back to the window and the freshly repositioned cameras.
"A new room," she finished for him, releasing his arm.
This exchange felt SO pure and in character for them!

Quote
It would be fine.
Famous last words!

Quote
"Floating?" a nervous chuckle escaped him. "Wow, that must have been some dream you were having…"
I LOVE your attempt for him to play it off -- almost as much as I love how badly he fails!

"It's the only home I've ever known," he said quietly, letting his arms drop.
This is so neatly packaged and nuanced. He's really good at this lie. And it really breaks him, too.

Quote
"So, did that spray affect you, or not?"
Yaaaas, girl, go right for the jugular! rotflol

"Clark, I did not do the dance of the seven veils for Superman."
This is such an epic MIC DROP moment - I loved it! notworthy

This was such a delight to read!
Happy Friday!

This was hilarious and perfect!! Loved it so much clap

I laughed when I read, 'I didn't do the dance of the seven veils for Superman.'

Thanks for coming up with this and sharing blush

I love this! It’s hilarious and a lot of fun. The revelation was great. This line is perfect: “Clark, I did not do the dance of the seven veils for Superman.” The last line had me laughing but I don’t think Clark actually needs a bed. I’m off to read this again. Thanks for the delicious treat!

Hehe, always a fun reveal when Clark floats in his sleep. Cute fic! Love the line about doing the dance of the seven veils for him.

Also, Lois, honey, you don't actually *need* a *bed.* There's the couch, the floor, the shower, the ceiling...

Hi Mary!

”There’s no bed!”

Clark looked up from the cameras he was repositioning in front of the window. “What?”
Did the Lexor not have time to repair it after Cat’s last stay?

Quote
Clark shrugged, replacing his glasses. “I guess the last guest wanted to keep it as a souvenir?”
Lexor staff: Never again will we provide a matrass for the deprived Daily Planet reporters. We never got all the spots out from the last two stays. And that’s not counting the one we had to burn.

Quote
“Do you know what will happen if they find out there’s no bed in here?!”

Clark shrugged. “They’ll probably just give us—” Oh! His eyes darted back to the window and the freshly repositioned cameras.

. He even had experience “roughing it”. It would be fine.
Unless he has a ‘rising’ experience in the night. Wonder how he’ll explain that to Lois.

Quote
A startled scream woke him out of a sound sleep. He was nose-to-nose with Lois,
evil

Quote
She gaped at him. “You were floating!”
Nooo… He was just crawling up to her, studying her face and considering kissing her.

Quote
For a moment, she seemed to contemplate the floor. “So, did that spray affect you, or not?”

“What?”
*That’s* where you’re going?

Quote
“Because you don’t feel that way about me.”

Her eyes bored into his. For a while, the only sound in the room was the soft, rapid thudding of her heart. Then, her lips were on his.
Which means they now do need that bed.

Quote
After a long, exquisite moment, she pulled away with a frustrated groan.

“Lois?”

Her forehead came to rest against his chest. “I just remembered: there’s no bed!”
See?

Another cute little viggy!

A hilarious take on the old trope!
