Songbird, thanks for commenting! Clark is definitely thinking way too far ahead XD. There's a Brazilian
meme (involving a cow, funnily enough) that basically means "bro moved into the house before the walls were done", and I think it describes him perfectly at this point.
Queen of the Capes, thanks for your comment! I had so much fun writing this dialogue
Michael:Date avoidance chess. Only problem is, Clark is playing checkers.

PERFECT. (By the way, do we have a story like that?)
Yes, she got presented with a challenge. The one sure way to ensnare a Lois Lane. You can even tell her it’s all a setup.
For sure!
LOIS: Don’t knock it until you’ve seen the manners the other half displays. Most of the time, they don’t even decorate the warehouses where they accommodate their guests with flowers.
GOON: There will be flowers at her funeral. If they find her. That should suffice.

CLARK: Discussing how to escape from being tied up in a lair doesn’t mean we’re talking shop!
LOIS: I do like how he counts us getting captured as a ‘date’. He’s very practical.
That's quite an efficient use of time, if you think about it. Clark does believe in multitasking, after all.
She muses while lying through her teeth.

She could adopt a ten-year-old boy from the Luthor House for Parent-less Orphans, teach him about his new life and introduce him as her son?
Now that would be
really funny.
That’s both extremely endearing and extremely naughty!

Apparently, that was a lie.
Who would've thought, right?
You could make it an underwater garden. Or have a rather large aquarium and fill it with sharks. They love to play with potential boyfriends Lois brings home. If she rented the apartment on the fourth floor, she could build a trap door...
For some reason, that made me imagine Lex Luthor befriending the sharks like Daniel in the lions' den.
I guess she means ‘when you get tired of seeing me both inside and outside of my clothes’?
LOL!
