Smallville Fic(let)/Drabble Meme + shameless TVD promotion
I am overcome with many of the feelings on the soon-coming end of my show, (Smallville). So to help myself (and maybe some of you) through this, I propose a.........

ocean jewel, brilliant sea and that other one
“Okay, why the hell are there 50 different kinds of blue on this thing?”
“Just pick one, Lois.” Clark’s voice held barely-disguised impatience; he folded his arms across his chest, feeling like he was ready to bang his head against the nearest wall at this point.
“We can’t just pick one, Clark. What if it looks like crap? And then I’ll have to shower and go to the bathroom in a bathroom that looks like crap?” Lois was frowning at the paint selector in her hand. “Brilliant Sea looks like the exact same thing as Ocean Jewel. Who comes up with these names anyway?”
Clark shrugged. He looked around the store aimlessly and half-wished that someone would call for help or some disaster would happen so he could escape this purgatory. He’d tried to offer his opinion but when Lois vetoed his first three suggestions, he’d decided to leave all the domestic decisionmaking to her and spur her along as much as possible. He knew he wasn’t being particularly helpful with all this but he just wanted to get out of there.
She dragged her finger along the different variations of blue, whispering their names under her breath and stopped abruptly when she got to one, a snort of laughter escaping her mouth. Laughter that turned into a loud guffaw as she read over the words again to make sure she’d read them right.
Clark looked at her. “What is it?”
She brought her fingers to her lips as if to stifle her amusement. “I think we’ve found the perfect blue, Smallville.”
Clark didn’t even care to know what blue it was. He straightened up with an exaggerated sigh of relief. “Finally - now can we go home already?”
Lois ignored his petulant tone, nodded smugly and strolled over to the paint cans, “Yeah, sure - I can’t wait to paint our bathroom all over in Superman Blue.”
Clark smiled, “Great - wait. What?” People had come up with the name ‘Superman Blue’ - for paint colors? He’d literally only started calling himself that a few weeks ago!
He looked at her retreating back before rushing to catch up with her, “Now, Lois - wait - maybe we should reconsider…”

I laughed particularly hard at this one because I just painted my bathroom blue in a house project about a month ago. Actually, we redid our entire upstairs...carpet, bedrooms, bathroom, everything. (Remind me to never ever do that again while I'm actually living in the house because it was a nightmare and a mess.) But literally....I just had a conversation similar to this about a month ago at the Home Depot and I think I was just as annoying as Lois. It's just...all the colors look the same but still slightly different if you hold them in the right light. lol It's very hard to choose! But I have found that men don't seem to see all those little differences. My husband was basically like, "You have like 25 blue paint samples. They all look the same. Why is this even a problem? They are all the same color!!!"
So there's your background for why I already think this is a really, really hilarious story. I was just there.
Also...continuity much? Didn't you include a line in a story a while back that included a mention to Clark agreeing to paint his bathroom powder blue or something because Lois liked it???? Am I totally confusing you with someone else? I swear to God it was one of your stories because your stories and a few select others are the only ones that I reread over and over again.
I can totally see Lois thinking it's hilarious to stock their apartment with Superman stuff while Clark finds it totally horrifying. Superman blue paint....Superman t shirts....Superman dolls. I can totally see her thinking, "This is awesome! We need this." Of course, Clark would be completely taken aback by this.
Now, I'm picturing the sequel where they paint the bathroom. lol

I did include a line about Clark having agreed to some heinous blue for their bathroom - good memory! I can't remember which fic it is though :)
Lois would be so tickled by the hero swag and Clark would be utterly mortified and it'd be hilarious. I want to watch that show :(
Oh.... bathroom painting. Hm. Hmmmm......
