“I don’t want an out.” He took another step toward her, closing the distance between them. “I want my best friend back.”
Sometimes it a few words that sums up the story. These few sentences says it all.
Nicely written
Hi Morgana! Thanks for dropping by to comment. Yes, that was the idea. The change in their friendship became very obvious near the end of Season 2. Got me thinking about the original concerns that were there. The friendship that had been there originally had changed and not for the better. It became painful to watch actually.
Another verified incident of Jimmy interruptus. Fun.
Well, I had to throw a LITTLE A-Plot in there or this fic would have been a LOT longer.
Great fic! Now I want to know what is going to happen on that date!
I MIGHT be tempted to write a second part to this to show the date but right now I'm balancing too many plot bunnies that keep sprouting up. Thanks for commenting.
Super cute, Val! And worst case of Jimmy Interruptus ever.
Hey Feli! Thanks for comment. I know, right? Jimmy shows up at the worst time doesn't he? I did my best to stay in the a-plot as much as I could on this one though and he DID show up at Lois' in the ep so there's that.
Awww! Very sweet!
I also loved the line where he said he didn't want an out. Dan's presence wasn't quite so repulsive here either, especially since they both knew what they wanted out of this relationship here. Breaking his promise to be friends wasn't something I considered during the show, but you make it very clear here. Well done!
Hey Mouse!
Glad you enjoyed it. Yeah, this one was a long overdue convo that NEEDED desperately to be had with LnC. Clark didn't want an out or an excuse he just wanted to fix things. LOL
I'm glad Dan didn't repulse you in this fic. Um, was he supposed to?
Yeah, it just sorta came to me as I was writing the flashbacks. She asked what would happen if it bombed and he promised they'd always be friends but that wasn't something he had done. It wasn't something she had done either. They both just let themselves be pulled apart by life and circumstances. You don't hear Clark say how he feels till IR which is kinda ridiculous so this is a huge *NUDGE* to force these lunkheads to talk and work things out.
