Adorable! I figure Lex will take a lot of training when it comes to gifting.

^___^ That's the kind of lessons that can be very fun to teach, I think.

Thank you, hon. I'm glad you liked it.

OMG I loved this, it was perfect and so them. Clark is learning to read Lex when he offers things. And Lex still getting is own way even if only slightly. It is just a keychain...even it probably does cost more then the car...

It makes you wonder who is reading who, because Clark should worry that Lex just happened to have the one thing on hand that Clark said he could get him..*g*

[sue_dreams]

^___^ Hee. Thank you! It's all about compromise. Because Lex still won't be allowed to help if the car breaks down somewhere and we all know that Clark won't pawn the key chain.

I imagine that Lex has (had) a (complete) set of Warrior Angel key chains. But he won't be running out to replace the one he's given away.

Such a perfect Clex scene! :-D

Thank you! ^___^

Awwwwww...... ^______________^

That was absolutely adorable. I love the way Clark tempted Lex into the car - a firm 'no' is never absolute when it comes to Clark! Step One, and then steps from there.

And... rotfl! Um, yeah, our minds were *seriously* on the same track there, weren't they? Writing telepathy! ;D Love the way you brought that out. No repairs worth twice the amount of the car (they can seriously add up to that!), but Lex can get Clark a key chain.

And Lex just happens to have one... ^___^ Clark will never not think of Lex whenever he drives that car, and even after the car is long gone, the keychain with the key is going to be hanging on his wall, memories and love.

{{hugs them both and Sue too}}

[sue_dreams]

Great minds. >D

I think if Lex had went to buy Clark a keychain, it would have ended up with some kind of tracking chip and bug.

And here's the telepathy in action. I was thinking about all Clark's future cars and the fact that Lex gets him a new keychain for every one... leaving the rest to be hung in a place of honor.

*hugs* Thank you.

Loved this! You captured their friendship and banter so perfectly and Lex giving Clark the WA Keychain which probably cost a fortune was a wonderful way to show how much Clark really means to lex. Nice job!

[sue_dreams]

^__^ Lex would give up everything for Clark... except maybe his ability to give Clark everything.

Thank you.
