It's Sunday, which means Anna has a day off today.

This is good, because after helping herself to some free flowers last night, she's... shall we say... disinclined to get up.

Incapable of it, one might say.

She's also running quite the fever, and it's rather lucky all things considered that people in comas are not, on the whole, given to

Clark is happy to see it return.

Over the next hour or so, Anna more than likely has limited success in getting Clark's jeans down around about his knees. But they don't ever come all the way off.

[downsidedarling]

Anna, truth to tell, is only sometimes mildly puzzled about this.

The rest of the time she has slightly more important things to think about.

Like that.

And... that.

[hero_farmboy]

Oh, that. Clark likes that. In fact, he'll make Anna do it again.

Then he'll put his own little twist on it and make it go like this.

[downsidedarling]

Innovative!

Anna approves.

Of course, she has the advantage of experience on him...

...he's never seen this one before, she's willing to bet.

[hero_farmboy]

If Anna's never done it with him, then he's never seen it, because Lana sure as hell wouldn't have come up with it.

And it's something that Clark definitely approves of as well.

[downsidedarling]

Approval all round then.

Of course, this next bit would really be easier without the pants...

Somewhat impatiently, Anna tugs at them.

Perhaps he'll let her take them off this time.

[hero_farmboy]

"Sorry, baby," he tells her quietly, grabbing her hands again. "That's one rule you're just going to have to play by."

[downsidedarling]

"You know me and rules, Clark," she says, shrugging it off and moving to kiss him instead. So what if he has a sudden absurd fondness for--

--Ah.

Ah.

No wonder.

The realization doesn't distract her for much longer than it takes to blink, however. Kissing is a much higher priority at the moment. And now that she knows where he's keeping his crazy alien drugs, she also knows how to take them away should he start getting legitimately out of hand.

[hero_farmboy]

"And you know me and not getting my way," he counters. But then there's kissing and that makes everything okay, so long as she let's the whole pants issue go.

[downsidedarling]

Anna is fairly certain she is going to catch shit for this later.

Now, however... well. Clark is a lot of fun when he's like this. Demanding, but she likes a challenge; arrogant, but he has every right to be; controlling, but that can be attractive in its own particular way. And to make up for it he's so delightfully adventurous and, frankly, adorable sometimes.

So surely nobody will mind if she lets him stay that way for a little bit longer.

Not being a complete idiot, though, she's going to arrange things so that she has the chance to subtly brush against each of his pockets, the better to discover which of them contains the fateful rock. Anna is good at subtle. She doubts Clark will notice, especially not with her providing such a... titillating distraction.

[hero_farmboy]

So long as the investigating isn't being done with her hands, he'll be hardly the wiser about it, as he is keeping a very close eye on where her fingers are doing their walking. (And honestly, it's exactly what Clark was counting on when he decided to dose himself.)

But Clark has Anna's hands in places he wants them, so he's not going to complain about much right about now.

[downsidedarling]

Anna's hands are definitely in places Clark wants them, yes. There is really no doubt about this.

It is Anna's knee which makes the discovery of which pocket the necklace resides in, and she doesn't do anything about it when it does.

She's far too busy with other things, really.

[hero_farmboy]

Clark likes other things. And Anna being busy with them. Especially when they involve him.

They can both deal with the Red K issue later.

Like, after he does this.

[downsidedarling]

Indeed!

And after she does that.

Of course... well.

After a suitable interval (and a considerable quantity of this-ing and that-ing), Clark may find himself in a position where the necklace has a goodly chance of falling out of its pocket. Purely by accident, of course. Anna is entirely concentrated on things that are only tangentially related to his pants. Or so it would appear.

[hero_farmboy]

Fall out it does and Clark doesn't exactly notice immediately, considering he's allowing Anna to roll him on his back. At this point, Anna may finally get to see the red glow briefly in his eyes as the effect wears off.

And then the sort of half confused look settles into its familiar place.

[downsidedarling]

"Bonsoir, cheri," she says, kissing him on the cheek.

Yes, she does see the glow, and yes, she notes it for future reference. More signs of the difference between Clark and Clark-on-drugs are always a good thing, though she likes to think she's gotten pretty good at telling the difference.
