"Lex, maybe we should go back to doing this in the house? It's, uh..."

"Easier?" Lex sent him a glare.

"...Warmer?" Clark tried desperately, shifting from foot-to-foot.

Mr. Kent had more-or-less banished them outside. It had been galling to find out that Clark had been going easy on him indoors.

It was worse to find that the barn was turning out to be even more difficult to find things inside.

"It's not really well-lit in here, anyway. And the colors don't stand out all that much," Clark sympathized.

Lex nearly growled belligerently at this pronouncement. "You didn't seem to have any trouble finding them," he replied thinly, shooting Clark a look of his own.

Clark had the grace to wince, but not the sense to shut up. "But I've been doing egg hunts every year since I've been little. I've got way more practice," he tried again.

If Clark was trying to make him feel better, it really wasn't working out that way.

"Maybe it's just that I've got home-front advantage, you know? I already know where all the good hiding places are, and all the places where to look," Clark tried again.

Lex froze. If Clark suggested that they move this to the mansion and he did just as poorly, he'd never live it down.

"Plus, I got to practice with plastic day-glo eggs with my parents before graduating to real ones. Real ones really are harder."

Lex gathered up the tattered remains of his pride and said, carefully, "Ok, Clark."

"Ok?"

"Yes." You win, I'll take the out.

"Um. Right. Good." Clark looked both nervous and relieved. "So, maybe we can go back inside now? For hot chocolate and Easter candy or something?"

"Sure, Clark."

He waited for the thirty seconds it took Clark to retrieve the still-hidden eggs from their locations, watching him and cursing himself inwardly as he saw where Clark had put them.

"Oh, that's not fair! That one was in a drawer!" Lex complained hotly as Clark pulled the last one out of the large free-standing toolchest.

"...Not fair?"

"Clark, there's no way you or your father would be all right with me rifling through your things. I know that. You know that. And you know I know that." It was tantamount to digging into Clark's secrets, as far as Lex was concerned. Unacceptable and disallowed behavior! And Clark had taken advantage of that to win. Totally underhanded, highly Luthorian, and completely unfair! This was supposed to be a Kent game!

Clark blinked at him, then opened his mouth, then closed it again. He bit his lip and seemed a little put out.

"I... I did say you could hide them anywhere, right?" Clark said tentatively. And from his attitude, he had clearly meant the opposite implication from that, as well.

"I thought you meant 'within reason'," Lex griped.

There was a rather long pause, which Lex had not expected, and thus he turned and paid very close attention to Clark. Clark looked vaguely non-nervous. No, extremely not nervous. ...No, scratch that -- he couldn't look less nervous if he tried, which was just...

Something suddenly occurred to Lex.

"...Clark, have you still been going easy on me?!"

"Um..." said Clark.

"Clark!"

Clark winced.

If you keep killing me like this, I might not make it to the end of the game. That last line -I can hear the indignation in it. So, so priceless.

Sorry, sorry, didn't mean to make it unhandleable! ^_^;;; *lol*

Well, we all know he trusts Clark to be all "Kent" and not "Lionel Luthor", right? *g* I'd probably be a little outraged if Clark did something that seemed so tricksy, too ;) --I'm glad that Lex's feelings came across well! :)
