Ooooh I love it! 
Thank you so much for sharing this! I love seeing Lois be clever like this, and I'm glad Clark was able to defuse the Mad Dog Bomb.

“When am I going to be good enough for you?” Those softly spoken words are a punch to the gut.

This is a perfect revelation. With Lois and Clark being in such close quarters, it seems obvious that she'd notice the meaning of his disappearing acts. Well done.

Hi Toomi!
But will it be safe to enter?
I think she might know.
He might be knee deep in the aforementioned septic tank.
Oh, look! It suddenly rose up to his waist.
That would be an embarrassing revelation.
Oops?
Umm… Lois?
They’re both adorable!
Booom!
Wouldn’t it be embarrassing if they started dating Mayson and Call-Me-Daniel next?
That was an unexpected revelation

As I approach the small cabin, I hear Lois’ heartbeat, so I know she’s safe and inside, just as I left her an hour ago with a lame excuse to cover my hopefully brief absence.
Quote
“How’s the septic system?” She asks while focusing on the fire.
Quote
I wonder if I’ve left the door open as it has suddenly become a little frosty in the tiny cabin.
Quote
. I spot the rolled up papers in the fire and stare at her in shock.
Her eyes are cold.
Her eyes are cold.
Quote
She knows. And she’s angry.
Quote
I’m quick, but I feel like I’m wading through sand instead of moving at super-speed as I blow gently on the fire, encasing it with ice. I hope I haven’t misread Lois, as she’s turned pale, saying nothing.
Quote
She walks through the ankle-deep snow, using the footprints I left behind when I’d made my feeble excuse. I can see where my footprints end, just beyond the little cabin, and where hers continue for a few steps longer.
Quote
“When am I going to be good enough for you?” Those softly spoken words are a punch to the gut.
Quote
“How long have you known?” I try to bide my time.
“Known, known? About five minutes.”
“Known, known? About five minutes.”
Quote
When she’s being more stubborn than usual, she sets her jaw and her chin tilts up a bit, just as it is now. I find it adorable, but there’s an excellent chance she isn’t in the mood to hear that from me… yet.
Quote
I see her shoulders relax, and know I’ve avoided a nuclear-sized Lois Lane meltdown, for now.
Quote
My dearest friend knows my secret, and we’re still able to joke around with each other. Maybe someday soon I’ll be able to share how I really feel about her.
That was an unexpected revelation

Aww... I had to do it. Mad Lois still has a way with words.

She walks through the ankle-deep snow, using the footprints I left behind when I’d made my feeble excuse. I can see where my footprints end, just beyond the little cabin, and where hers continue for a few steps longer. Even in the dark it’s painfully obvious there are no more footsteps. While I silently berate myself for not being more careful, Lois stops, her arms wrapped around herself in an effort to keep some of the warmth in. It’s cool outside and I don’t have a jacket, just a warm woolen sweater.
Yes Clark, you are so definitely in trouble. Toomis8, this is an excellent reveal, best of all Lois was not Mad Dog Lane throughout the story. It was a calm, mature conversation between two friends who work together.

She knows. And she’s angry.
Quote
Do I react, or let the papers burn? Flames from the fire are licking eagerly around the rolled paper, testing the edges and finding them easy to burn. It’ll take seconds for all of Lois’ meticulous notes to turn into ashes.
Quote
“When am I going to be good enough for you?” Those softly spoken words are a punch to the gut.
Quote
I’m slightly surprised that’s all it took.
Quote
Her tone flat, I realize I’m one foot in mouth moment away from losing her.
Quote
“Of what? You can’t be hurt!”
“I can.”
“Oh, right. I’d forgotten.”
“I wasn’t thinking of that.”
“I can.”
“Oh, right. I’d forgotten.”
“I wasn’t thinking of that.”
Quote
"...You could possibly be a bigger target than before.” If that’s possible.
Quote
"I will always worry about you, Lois,” I say softly, meaning every word with a depth I won’t go into right now.
This was such a sweet reveal, and so in character!
