Day Six: How Will I Know?
Today's prompt is:
Vow
Lex attempted to look innocent. He was pretty sure he failed miserably, but only because he was able to keep a straight face for thirty seconds before laughing so hard that he nearly had trouble breathing. Good thing he had started out on the couch.
"Lex! This isn't funny!"
"It.. it kind of is..." Lex half-babbled, wiping tears from his eyes.
"I've never seen Tess so mad!"
Oh, Lex had known it was going to get back to her in all the wrong ways. Going after her lover like that and giving him a good scare would either scare him off or have him stick around even harder. Either way, Lex would get a better read on Emil, Emil would get a better understanding of himself (he was not a stupid man by anyone's accounts), and Tess would have an emotional and mental double-handful of a mess on her hands to deal with. That'd teach her to mess with him and his own love affairs like a shot across the bow -- keep her nose out of his personal life, or he'd repay her in like kind and full measure.
What Lex was more interested in knowing at the moment, though, was whether Emil had actually been the one to say something, or whether she'd had to find out second-hand from the Watchtower security feed, which he had not blanked out or otherwise wiped for the duration of his visit quite purposefully.
As it turned out from Clark's half-coherent yelling, it was the latter.
Well, well, well thought Lex, bemused. The man's got balls. ...Well, he'd just proved himself in Lex's book. He doubted Tess was happy with the man for that little stunt though, for exactly the same reason.
"--and you promised not to--!"
"--do anything physical in retribution," Lex ended. And waited.
Clark glared up a storm, but he hissed out a sigh. "I hate it when you do that," he ended, the epitome of frustration as he ran his hands through his hair, before sinking down to straddle Lex across the cushions he was seated upon.
"Hey," Lex said, reaching up to gently cradle Clark's face with his hands. "You know me."
"Yeah, I do. Ready to half-kill yourself to keep a promise, really careful with your wording, and ulterior motives for everything. So what was it this time?" Clark groused, then paused and stared at Lex, reassessing in utter disbelief. "Oh my god, you can't be serious."
"Well, look at it this way -- what would you do if some guy was getting serious with Kara?"
"That's different!" Clark exclaimed.
"Oh? How so?" Lex asked rhetorically.
"Because Kara is sane and a nice person, and Tess is psychotic and scary. You should've been warning him about her, not the other way around! He doesn't need scaring into behaving like a gentleman!"
Lex's mouth dropped open. Then he started laughing again.
"It's not funny!" Clark protested adamantly.
"Last thing... I ever expected you... to... ahahahaha!!"
"Oh god, seriously. Shut up." Clark rolled his eyes and whacked Lex in the arm gently.
"Just, could you promise that you'll at least run this stuff by me first? If there's ever a next time?" and by his tone it was obvious that Clark was hoping and praying to god that there wasn't one.
"Sure thing, lover," Lex quipped giddily, and got a kiss for his trouble.

Ah, well, it is supposed to be Clex-intensive, and I felt like I was pushing the boundary a bit with 1/4 really being Clex interaction ^_^;; Maybe in a flashback in the future? --Though I get the feeling that CLark and Emil may disagree with you there! *lol*
*g* Clark's no dummy!
Glad you enjoyed it! *bows*
