Summary: Clark, sugar and silliness
For StarEarthAngel, who unknowingly inspired this
Part 1
Lex blinked sleepily, staring at the clock and groaning as the phone continued ringing and disturbing him. Four in the morning, who the fuck would dare to disturb him at four in the morning?
Praying that it wasn’t his father, Lex picked up the persistently shrill appliance. “What?” he snapped.
“Lexy, Lexy, Lexy!” the voice on the other end giggled.
Lex frowned, it sounded like, “Clark?”
“Come out and play, Lexy,” Clark laughed breathily.
“Clark, where are you?” Lex asked in confusion, despite the slight shiver of arousal the tone of Clark’s voice had caused.
“Outside, come and play.”
Lex could almost see Clark bouncing and shook his head in bemusement, “Clark, what are you doing outside at four o’clock?”
“Not tired, wanna play, come o-on,” Clark was starting to whine like a kid and Lex smothered a snort of amusement.
“Are you high?” he asked.
“Nope, nope. You coming, or do I have to come get you?” Clark giggled again, “Hey! We could play hide and seek!”
“Uh, no that’s okay, I’m coming,” Lex blinked, “Give me a minute, okay?”
“Kay,” Clark hung up and Lex stared at the handset for a moment.
He got up and slipped on some sweats, heading outside vaguely worried, but mostly intrigued by the odd way Clark was acting. Walking round the back of the castle, he was suddenly tackled and knocked to the ground by a large, solid mass.
“Ow, Clark, careful,” Lex gasped, slightly winded.
Clark straddled him with a large grin. “Sorry,” he said insincerely, “C’mon, Lexy, let’s go.”
Clark got up and Lex found himself yanked to his feet and up against Clark’s body. He tried not to notice how little clothing Clark was actually wearing. In fact he tried not to look at his friend at all, as Clark had apparently come over in his boxers and nothing else. Clark started to drag him along behind him.
“Go where?” Lex asked. Clark stopped suddenly and Lex bumped into him. Despite having stopped walking, Clark still hadn’t stopped actually moving, in fact he was bouncing.
“Uh, dunno, hadn’t thought of that,” Clark laughed, “Where do you wanna go? We can go anywhere you want.”
“Clark, you aren’t even dressed,” Lex pointed out.
“So?” Clark smiled winningly, “It’s late, no one else will be out. C’mon, I wanna play.”
Lex stared, completely lost for words. “Um, play, what? Clark, what are you on?”
“Nothin’,” Clark pouted, “Don’t you wanna play with me?”
Lex shut his eyes and sighed, the pout and the puppy dog eyes, not good. “Clark, you know I love spending time with you, it’s just, you know, a bit weird.”
Clark’s chin started to tremble and Lex sighed again. “You don’t wanna play with me,” his breath hitched a little and Lex looked up at the sky for guidance.
“Clark, Clark,” Lex waited till his still bouncing and pouting friend looked at him again, from under long, soft eyelashes. “Of course I do, but what can we play at four a.m. with you in your underwear?”
Clark grinned suddenly. “Oh, oh!” he bounced a little more vigorously, “I know! C’mon, Lexy.” Lex found himself being dragged along again, round the castle and down to the swimming pool. Oh. Damn. “Woohoo!” Clark giggled.
Before Lex could say a word, Clark had stripped out of his shorts and taken a running jump into the heated water. Lex swallowed hard. Clark was skinny dipping in his pool. 6’3” of tanned, muscled, sixteen year old farm boy was *naked* in his pool!
“You coming in, Lexy? Or do I have to come get you?” Clark was grinning up at him from the edge of the pool.
“Um, I’ll manage,” Lex said hurriedly, somehow not doubting for a moment that Clark would do as he’d threatened and he wasn’t sure he could cope with said farm boy stripping him and throwing him in the water. In fact, he wasn’t sure if he could cope with stripping in front of Clark at all.
But with Clark acting so strange, Lex decided that it would probably be best if he just got it over with quickly. He toed off his trainers and quickly yanked off his sweats, diving straight into the water to hide his semi-aroused state. As he rose out of the water, Lex sucked in a startled breath. Clark was right in front of him, moonlight making his eyes glow.
“Ooh,” Clark breathed, reaching out to touch Lex’s scalp gently. “Sexy,” Clark giggled, “Sexy Lexy, heh, it rhymes.”
Before Lex could react, Clark had submerged himself and disappeared in the darkness. Lex looked round, confused, aroused and slightly worried. What in God’s name had gotten into Clark?
A loud splash behind him was all the warning he got before he was pushed under. Lex spluttered, swallowing rather more water than he would have liked before he surfaced, coughing loudly. Clark crowed from behind him, but when Lex twisted in the water, he had gone again. Brat!
Lex swam nonchalantly back to the edge and turned, putting his back to the wall only to find Clark right behind him. Sucking in a breath quietly, Lex tried not to move as Clark pinned him against the side of the pool, staring with all the intensity of someone on a high of some sort.
“Clark?” he squeaked. Lex flushed and cleared his throat to try again, “Clark?”
“You’re so pretty, Lexy,” Clark frowned contemplatively and chewed on his lip. Obviously he didn’t have any idea what that was doing to Lex, who prayed he didn’t get any closer and find out. Clark reached out and traced the line of his jaw and Lex stopped breathing for a second.
“Clark, what are you…?” Lex was stopped from going any further by the finger returning along his jaw and slipping between his lips. The tip of Clark’s finger ran over his teeth and Lex suddenly found it very hard to breathe again, and stop himself from licking Clark’s finger.
“Ooh,” Clark whispered, pulling his finger free, “Wanna play a new game?”
Lex swallowed hard, “Uh, wha-what game?” he stuttered.
“This one,” Clark leaned forward and kissed him. Just a simple brush of lips on lips, but enough to render Lex speechless again. “Well?”
Lex blinked. “Well, what?” he croaked, pressing back into the wall.
“Do you wanna play?” Clark asked guilelessly, staring at him in an oddly innocent way that snapped Lex back under control.
“Clark, I, uh, I don’t think that’s such a good idea,” he started. There was no way he was going to take advantage of Clark in this state. God only knew what Clark would think when he came down from whatever he was on.
Clark pouted.
“No, Clark.”
Clark batted his eyelids.
“No, Clark.”
Clark’s chin started to tremble.
“Clark, please don’t…”
“You don’t want me,” Clark hiccupped slightly, his bottom lip joining his chin in trembling, eyes shiny all of a sudden.
Oh God. “Clark, it’s not that,” Lex shifted in the water to wrap an arm round his distressed friend. “Honestly Clark, you have no idea, how much I… anyway, I just… you’re not yourself tonight Clark, it would feel wrong.”
“Really?” Clark peered up at him hopefully, Lex nodded, “Promise?”
“I promise, Clark,” Lex said solemnly.
“Okay,” Clark smiled brightly and kissed him again, before swimming away.
Lex licked his lips and took a deep breath, wondering why in hell he’d just given up the chance of a lifetime. With a sigh, he followed Clark and they headed out of the pool. There were towels kept down there, so they dried off quickly and got dressed again. Clark was *still* bouncing, and Lex shook his head, wondering both what had gotten Clark into this state, and how long it was going to take till he crashed down.
“What shall we do now?” Clark grinned at him.
“Aren’t you tired?” Lex stifled a yawn.
Clark grabbed his hand and started to drag him along behind him again. “Nope,” he giggled, “Any preferences?”
“Uh, I don’t know,” Lex really didn’t know what to do about his hyperactive friend. “Maybe you should go for a run or something, work off some excess energy?”
“Yeah!” Clark nodded vigorously, “Great idea!”
“Whoa!” Lex was lifted into Clark’s arms and suddenly his breath was whipped away by the speed at which they were travelling. He had to press his face into Clark’s chest to stop his eyes from watering and his breath being snatched away. Clark smelt curiously of clean sweat and chlorine and something slightly musky that made Lex almost want to stop breathing again so that he wouldn’t get hard in Clark’s arms.
They stopped at last and Clark put him down. Lex staggered slightly, holding onto Clark till he got his balance again. Then he looked round. They were standing on a hill top, the landscape totally unrecognisable.
“Um, Clark, what just happened, and where are we?” Lex whispered in shock.
Clark stared at him and bit his lip, grimacing slightly, “Uh, Colorado.”
“C-Colorado?!” Lex exclaimed. He felt faint, “Clark, how?”
“You said run, I ran,” Clark shrugged, “Forgot about the secret, uh whoops?”
“Whoops?” Lex shook his head. “Secret?”
Clark looked down, digging his toes into the dirt, “Yeah, the whole alien thing, I’m not supposed to tell,” he pouted again, “It’s not fair, I don’t wanna have secrets and lie to my friends, especially you, cause I love you!”
Lex choked, not really sure whether it was the word alien or the word love that had flabbergasted him more. “You, you l-love me?”
Clark frowned at him, “Yeah, didn’t I tell you that already?”
“Um, no,” Lex shook his head.
“Are you sure?” Clark tilted his head and blinked at him.
“Believe me Clark, if you’d told me you loved me before, I would definitely remember,” Lex managed to say, still a little shocked.
“Oh, is that why you wouldn’t have sex with me?”
Lex choked again, “Um, I guess, yeah.”
Clark grinned widely, “Cool, will you have sex with me now?”
Lex took a deep breath and shut his eyes for a second, “Don’t you think we should maybe go home first? And then you can explain the whole alien thing, okay?”
Clark started bouncing again and smiled widely, “Yeah, kay. Then can we have sex?”
“We’ll see,” Lex started laughing, a little hysterically admittedly, but the situation was just so surreal, and he still didn’t know what Clark was on, but somehow he was damned grateful.
Clark swept him into his arms again and Lex buried his face in the strong chest, as they speeded across the countryside. Almost before he knew it, Lex was being lowered onto his bed, and then Clark jumped on next to him, bouncing slightly.
“We’re home,” Clark grinned.
“Yeah,” Lex frowned, “How exactly *did* you do that?”
“Oh, I can do *lots* of stuff,” Clark made a dismissive noise.
“Like?” Lex raised his eyebrows.
Clark pouted, “Come on, Sexy Lexy…”
“Clark, you said you’d tell me about the whole alien thing,” Lex tried not to give in to the leer and the finger tracing random patterns on his scalp.
“Spoilsport,” Clark poked out his tongue and Lex barely stifled a moan. Then Clark grinned wickedly, “I’ve got a new game.”
“What?” Lex asked warily.
“For every question you ask me, I get a kiss.”
Lex licked his lips and swallowed, “Okay.”
“Cool,” Clark grinned.
“So what ‘stuff’ can you do?” Lex asked. Clark raised an eyebrow and Lex rolled his eyes, leaning forward to gently kiss his friend. Clark cupped his cheek, pulling him closer, lips parting under his. Lex groaned, slipping his tongue into the warm cavern where it was enthusiastically sucked.
Lex managed to find enough will power to pull away and raised an eyebrow at Clark, who smirked and stayed silent.
“Clark?”
“Yes, Sexy Lexy?” Clark grinned.
“Are you going to answer the question?”
Clark shook his head, “Nope.”
“But,” Lex spluttered, “You said you’d answer if I gave you a kiss.”
“Nope,” Clark snickered, “I said you had to give me a kiss for each question you asked, I didn’t say anything about answering.”
Lex gaped at him, “But, but that’s not…” Lex glared at his friend who was jiggling excitedly, smirking at him.
“So, can we have sex now?” Clark tilted his head and smiled winningly.
Lex crossed his arms, schooling his features into his ‘boardroom’ face. “Well now, I don’t know about that, Clark,” he said coolly, “You’ve rather reneged on your part of the deal, wouldn’t you say?”
Clark blinked at him worriedly, then pouted, “No fair!”
“No fair?” Lex laughed.
Clark made a distinctly huffy noise and pouted even more, sticking his bottom lip out determinedly.
“That’s not going to work, Clark,” Lex tried to convince himself of that even as he said it, Clark looked altogether too edible. “Listen, why don’t we start easy, like what happened tonight?”
Clark sniffed and looked at him sidelong from under his lashes. “Okay,” he grouched, “I couldn’t sleep, so I had a snack, then I thought I’d come and see you, cause I wanted to play.”
“What snack?”
“Do I get another kiss?” Clark smiled hopefully. Lex nodded. “Now?”
Lex laughed and leaned forward, sucking Clark’s full bottom lip between his teeth, swiping it with his tongue. Clark moaned and started to push him down, but Lex put a hand on his chest and pushed him away. Clark pouted again.
Laughing, Lex tapped Clark’s lip gently, “Put it away, and answer the question.”
“Twinkies,” Clark sighed.
“How many?”
“Uh, like five I think,” Clark frowned thoughtfully.
“Five Twinkies?” Lex raised an eyebrow, “That’s it?”
“No!” Clark laughed, “Five boxes.”
Lex blinked, “You ate five *boxes* of Twinkies?!”
“I was hungry,” Clark whined.
“Jesus,” Lex laughed, “No wonder you’re acting like a hyperactive child on speed!”
“M’not,” Clark sniffed quietly.
“Yes, you are, baby,” Lex chuckled. He found himself on his back under a very pouty Clark. “Clark?” Lex tried to lift his arms, but couldn’t even shift a millimetre under Clark’s grip.
“That’s one thing I can do,” Clark whispered.
Lex swallowed a little nervously, “What?”
“Hold you down, take what I want,” Clark said seriously, “I’m very strong.”
“Clark?” Lex croaked uncertainly.
“But,” Clark sat up, straddling him, “I wouldn’t, I couldn’t.”
Lex suddenly found it a lot easier to breathe. “I know,” he whispered.
“Lexy?”
“Yeah?”
“Why’d you call me baby?” Clark bit his lip, staring at him like an adorable, confused puppy.
Lex licked his lips. “Well, I uh…” he faltered, suddenly uncertain. He’d never admitted feelings to anyone before, and he wasn’t sure he wanted to trust his heart to a Clark high enough on sugar to admit to being an alien, which Lex still wasn’t sure he actually believed.
Clark wrapped him in a warm embrace suddenly, and nuzzled his neck, “Lexy, I know you think I’m being weird, but I just feel free. I really do love you, have done for a long time now, if that’s what you’re worried about.”
Squeezing his eyes shut, Lex smiled softly. “I love you too, Clark,” he finally admitted.
“Good, can we have sex now?”
Lex started to laugh, burying his face in Clark’s hair, body shaking uncontrollably.
“Lexy?”
Lex pulled back to meet Clark’s slightly worried, confused and amused gaze and grinned, “Yes.”
“Yes?” Clark asked hesitantly.
“Yes, we can have sex now,” Lex chuckled as he found himself pinned to the bed almost before he got the words out. Clark leaned down and captured his lips passionately. Lex parted his legs so that Clark slid between them, settling comfortably along his body.
Hardness dug into his hip and he sighed happily, rocking up to elicit a satisfying moan from Clark.
“Lexy, Lexy,” Clark whispered, “Oh my Sexy Lexy.” Lex started to laugh again and Clark lifted his head to grin down at him. “You’d look sexier without clothes on, Lexy.”
Lex lifted his head and licked Clark’s lips, “Shift then.”
Clark moved to lie on the bed and Lex sat up, pulling his sweatshirt over his head quickly. Then he stopped at a small noise and turned slowly. A gentle smile lit his face and Lex leaned over to drop a soft kiss on Clark’s forehead.
Lex continued to undress, then he carefully pulled the covers out from under Clark and pulled them over him, sliding into bed next to him. Laughing quietly, Lex wrapped himself round Clark’s sleeping form and closed his eyes.
Part 2
“Clark.”
“Mmrfle.”
“Clark.”
Clark sat up, “I’m up, I’m coming.” He levered himself out of bed, rubbing at gritty eyes, and stumbled to the bathroom. His head felt like it was stuffed with cotton wool and his mouth felt distinctly furry and tasted disgusting. After quickly relieving himself, Clark leaned over the sink and haphazardly aimed some toothpaste onto his brush, starting to clean his teeth. The toothpaste tasted funny.
“Got to lay off the Twinkies,” he muttered. Spitting, Clark rinsed out his mouth and splashed his face, finally opening his eyes. Then he frowned.
“Toto, I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore,” he whispered. Well, obviously he was actually in Kansas. To be precise, he was in Lex’s bathroom in Luthor Castle, Smallville, Kansas. Oh. God. In his boxer shorts no less.
Cursing the God of Twinkies, Clark stumbled back out of the bathroom, scratching his head. “Uh.”
“More concise than I was expecting,” Lex smirked from where he was perched on his bed, purple silk robe open to reveal that he too was dressed in boxers. Oh. God.
“I stayed over?” Clark asked hopefully.
“Not exactly, no,” Lex appeared to be trying not to laugh.
“Oh shit! My parents!” Clark gasped. They were going to flip out.
“It’s okay, Clark, I phoned them, let them know what happened,” Lex reassured him. Well, tried to reassure him.
“What *did* happen?” Clark asked warily.
“You don’t remember?” Lex smirked again and raised an eyebrow.
“Um, well, I was kinda hoping what I remember happening was a dream,” Clark sighed. Definitely needed to lay off the Twinkies.
Lex grinned and shook his head.
“We went skinny dipping?” Clark grimaced, hoping he was remembering correctly and he hadn’t completely embarrassed himself.
“Mmm hmm,” Lex nodded.
“Oh God,” Clark had to walk over to the bed and sit down, “I… I took you to Colorado?”
“Yes, you did.”
“Oh,” Clark stared at the floor, hoping it would open up and swallow him. “So, uh, the, uh, k-kissing, was that…?”
“That was very nice, yes,” Lex replied.
Clark blinked, swallowed hard and looked up at his best friend hesitantly. Lex wasn’t smirking anymore, he was smiling, gently. “R-really?”
“Yeah,” Lex reached out and stroked his hair.
Clark closed his eyes and sighed, leaning into the touch. “So you really meant it?” he asked quietly, opening his eyes again.
Lex smiled, knowing what he was asking, “Yes, did you?”
“Yes,” Clark replied quickly, “Not quite how I pictured telling you, but yes,” he sighed.
“Not quite how you pictured telling me about the alien thing either, I’m sure,” Lex said dryly.
Clark flushed and looked down again, “Yeah, about that…”
“It doesn’t matter,” Lex interrupted him.
“Huh?” Clark gaped at him in astonishment.
“It doesn’t matter,” Lex repeated, “I knew you were different, special. Quite how different… well, I just had to shift my perceptions slightly.”
“But, don’t you want…”
“Nope,” Lex said firmly.
Clark didn’t know what to do, he’d expected to have to explain about the meteor shower, the pod, his abilities, the crash, everything. But Lex seemed completely unconcerned.
“Um,” Clark shifted uncomfortably, “So…”
Lex smiled and took pity on him, “Wanna play?”
Clark raised an eyebrow, smirking a little at the childish tone of Lex’s voice, until he remembered Lex was imitating him. “Tell me I didn’t sound like that!”
“Well, I *could* tell you that,” Lex laughed, “But then I’d be lying.”
Groaning, Clark flopped back onto the bed, “Does that mean I really did call you Sexy Lexy?”
Lex shifted and lay down next to him, head propped up on one elbow, “Yeah, but, as long as you don’t say it in public, I admit, I liked that.”
“Really?” Clark laughed.
“Yeah,” Lex chuckled.
“Sexy Lexy?” Clark started slightly nervously.
“Yes, Clarky?”
Clark giggled, “Can we have sex now?”
Clark thought that maybe he should feel insulted that his answer was Lex lying back on the bed and laughing hysterically, but he wasn’t. And besides, the sight and sound of Lex laughing uncontrollably was definitely something he wanted to experience more often.
For now though, Clark leaned over and sealed his lips over the pink panting mouth of his best friend. Lex stopped laughing and started moaning instead. Definitely sexy. Slim but strong arms wrapped round his neck and pulled him down. Clark slipped an arm under Lex’s waist and manoeuvred them up the bed, before settling himself between Lex’s legs; a position he distinctly remembered enjoying the previous night.
He managed to keep his lips fused with Lex’s throughout, a feat of brilliance that he was very impressed with. Of course Lex’s vice-like grip on his head *had* helped somewhat. And the voracious sucking of his tongue, which was really, *really* nice. In fact he really should get some of that in himself.
Lex moaned again and Clark couldn’t help grinning into the kiss.
“What?” Lex pulled away and pouted.
“Just you, I like you all needy like this,” Clark chuckled.
Lex snorted, “Yeah well, some of us were just getting started when certain others just crashed out without warning.”
Clark flushed and looked down, biting his lip so he didn’t laugh, “Heh, yeah, sorry.”
Lex rolled his eyes, “ Yeah, well, I didn’t kick you out of bed, did I?”
“No,” Clark bit his lip harder.
“Clark?”
“Yes,” Clark cleared his throat, the suppressed laughter making his voice come out a little high, “Yes?”
“Can we *please* have sex now?”
Clark looked up, a little uncertain from the tone of Lex’s voice. Lex was staring at him seriously, but Clark was relieved to see a glimmer of amusement in his eyes. “Yes, Sexy Lexy,” Clark laughed and pounced.
Epilogue: One Year Later
“Open your eyes.”
Clark opened them and looked round from the top of the hill where they were standing. He was a little confused, “Where are we?”
Lex smiled and looked down. “Colorado,” he waited expectantly.
“Colorado? Why Col… oh. Oh my God, Lex! Is this…?” Clark gasped.
“This is the exact spot where you first told me you loved me, a year ago today,” Lex said quietly. He was pulled abruptly into Clark’s arms and whirled round.
“You, wow, Lex, I can’t believe you actually found it…”
“Bought it,” Lex interrupted him, wrapping his arms round Clark’s neck.
Clark blinked in surprise, Lex’s romantic gestures never failed to amaze him, “You, you bought it?”
Lex nodded. “For us,” he whispered.
“Jesus, I love you Lex,” Clark bent his head and kissed his lover soundly. Lex kissed back urgently for a moment.
“I’ve got something for you,” Lex pulled back slightly.
“Something else?” Clark shook his head, “Lex, this was more than enough, God, just bringing me here would have been more than enough.”
“I know,” Lex smirked and held out a wrapped box.
Quirking an eyebrow, Clark took it and ripped off the paper. He stared at the box, then at Lex, then back at the box. His lips trembled and he snorted and, as Lex started to laugh, Clark collapsed, laughing hysterically.
“T-tw-twinkies?! You b-bought me Twinkies?” Clark gasped, wiping away tears.
“Well, it seemed appropriate,” Lex chuckled, sitting down next to him.
“Mmm, very,” Clark sighed happily and pulled Lex over on top of him. “Come here, my Sexy Lexy.”
Lex grinned and kissed him.
