There are tears in his eyes as he turns away. "It's okay," he says, though his heart hurts. "I know you have to go. They need you." I need you, too. He wishes he could tell him, but he knows he should feel guilty for trying to delay him even a second from saving the world.
He expects to hear the swoosh of his cape as he flies off at any second now, but he turns swiftly back around when he hears his boots falling quietly on their balcony. "You need me, Lex," Clark answers, cupping his lover's face in his hands and caressing him with his fingers and thumbs. "You need me just as badly."
"But they -- "
It is then, just as Clark's mouth is angling down towards his, that the Clark Kent in his dream does something else the Clark Kent he loves in reality would never do. "Fuck the world," he seethes. Then his mouth drops onto Lex's, his tongue slides smoothly into his mouth, and Lex is almost lost.
Almost.
He turns, grunting softly, in his sleep, and his hand falls across the other side of his bed. Even in his subconscious, he knows the covers have grown cold there. Clark is gone, as he always is when he awakens. It may be days before he sees him again and months longer still before Clark needs him as he's needed him this past night, as Lex needs him every night.
But in his dream, Clark is still there, still holding him, still kissing him, still choosing him above all the rest of the world. Lex sighs and slips back into his dream and into Clark's passionate, sweet kiss.
The End
