59.1 Talk about jealousy
Well, okay. If you want me to. I'm a jealous person. Envious, even. I'm not sure if people think of me that way, but I am and there's no way I can deny it.
When I was little, I was jealous because all the kids got to do fun things that I couldn't. I couldn't go to birthday parties, or play in the playground at recess at school. I couldn't join boy scouts or try out for any school teams. My parents told me it was because they needed me on the farm until I was too old to call them on it, and then they just sort of didn't answer, which was enough of one on its own. They were afraid I'd do something strange or worse, hurt someone, and then the questions would start. Questions my parents didn't ever want to have to answer.
It hasn't changed much as I get older, although I can definitely do more now than I could before. I've pretty much got things under control enough now that the chances of anything getting away from me is pretty slim.
Of course, as I do get older and grow up, the jealousy starts manifesting about other things. Like girls. I may not have said a whole lot, but like hell I was ever happy when Lana dated anyone else, or when Chloe would blow me off for some hot date. Now that I'm married, it's possibly gotten worse. I know it's incredibly chauvinistic, but she's mine, and our baby is mine, and there isn't anyone who's ever even going to try to come between us and get out without having gone through one hell of a fight. That they lost, because I'm never giving them up.
So jealousy. There you go. Clark Kent is a jealous, jealous man. He just doesn't always act like it, especially when he knows he's not supposed to.
But it's still there.
