lois tries hard not to get too lost in all things clark kent. he was just so . . . tender , so lovely. add that with the fact he was quite good looking and the pulitzer winner felt like she was ready to melt. “ i’m just good at reading people . . . you’re a foodie , kent. ” »

clark’s smile pulled a little wider, tired but real, and for a moment it softened everything else — the chaos of the day, the story on the screen, even the hum of the empty newsroom.

“you’re reading my mind,” he said, voice low with ⠀ ⟣

he looks every bit the picture of a man that has not left the office. undone shirt , loosened tie and his hair just the right amount of messy. and yet with all of that , he doesn’t look a single bit tired. wouldn’t that be nice ? not to have to worry about the bags »

“guess that makes two of us,” clark said softly, his voice carrying that familiar warmth that always seemed to settle between them like a favorite song. his eyes lingered on her — just a second longer than they probably should ⠀ ⟣

« under your eyes etc , etc.

lois looses herself momentarily in the blue of his eyes , the sweetness of his smile and the warmth of his tone. blinking , she hums and taps her fingers on the metal. “ well since you’re here and it looks like neither of us will be »

glow catches on the screen and her heart does a little flip at the smile that stretches on his lips. she mirrors it. “ you know i live here. ” folded arms rest on the panel , chin resting on her forearms.

“ i could ask you the same thing. ”

clark glanced up, the soft glow of the screen catching in his glasses. a slow, familiar smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.

“lois,” he said, like her name alone made the night better. “thought you called it hours ago.”
