Nexus: For Eights cont'd

Jul 16, 2007 23:16

Clark is sleeping. Not entirely peacefully, stressful Lex encounters will do that, but he is sleeping. The rest of the farm is quiet as well, with only the occasional moo audible in the late night air ( Read more... )

"You better, or I'll toss you in the lake."

downsidedarling July 18 2007, 17:43:28 UTC

"Oh, yeah right," she says with a wicked grin. "You'd try to toss me in the lake, you mean."

hero_farmboy July 18 2007, 17:44:18 UTC

Clark raises his eyebrows and takes a step toward her. "That a challenge?"

downsidedarling July 18 2007, 17:46:14 UTC

Anna laughs again, twirling to one side to put Clark between her and the water. "Should it be?"

hero_farmboy July 18 2007, 17:48:16 UTC

He follows, circling around so they're both even with the lake. "Oh, I don't know. Right now I'm debating whether to give you a head start or not."

downsidedarling July 18 2007, 17:55:35 UTC

"Pssh." Anna grins, standing lightly, ready to move at any moment. "I don't need one."

hero_farmboy July 18 2007, 17:57:21 UTC

Clark grins.

"Well, that makes my decision easier, doesn't it?"

And then he lunges for her.

She sidesteps easily. Dancer, after all. And it's completely natural to grab him by the arm and shove him towards the lake, because turnabout is fair play, is it not?

Of course, that means she's within his reach now.

hero_farmboy July 18 2007, 18:05:28 UTC

Clark, it must be said, has all the grace of a bull in a china shop. Anna scampers out of the way with little trouble but when she pushes him, he's able to twist around and snake an arm around her waist.

The other soon follows and it doesn't take as much effort as he thought it might to lift her off her feet and spin her around toward the water.

downsidedarling July 18 2007, 18:08:28 UTC

Shrieking with delighted laughter, Anna clutches at Clark's shirt with both hands. If she's going in, so is he, dammit.

hero_farmboy July 18 2007, 18:20:45 UTC

The clutching and grabbing at him is enough to throw him off balance - he doesn't have that perfect control he usually does anymore.

His footing lost, in they both go.

downsidedarling July 18 2007, 18:23:44 UTC

And because Anna has a firm hold of his shirt, when they both fall into the water, her and the shirt go one way and Clark goes the other.

She splutters a little, treading water with a grin, the fateful garment in one hand, very nearly laughing too hard to keep herself above the surface.

hero_farmboy July 18 2007, 18:26:40 UTC

Clark was sort of half prepared for the possibility he might end up getting a little wet in all this. Still, it doesn't stop him from flailing around a bit in surprise, before treading water a few feet away.

"...holy crap this is cold." He eyes her. "Is that my shirt?"

downsidedarling July 18 2007, 18:27:58 UTC

"Yes," she says impishly, and throws it at him. "Quit being such a wimp, there's no ice floating in it, is there?"

hero_farmboy July 18 2007, 18:32:02 UTC

He ducks and the material lands beside him with a slop. Clark grabs it before it gets too far away and sighs at it mournfully. There's really no point in putting it back on now.

"I don't think you quite appreciate the whole 'I've never been cold before' angle," he replies, starting to drift toward shore. "There's a blanket in the truck we can dry off with."

downsidedarling July 18 2007, 18:33:44 UTC

"Yeah, yeah," she says, splashing him. "You're a wimp, Clark."
