It's the day before Valentine's Day. To Clark, however, it's just another day. In fact, chances are it hasn't even occurred to him that it's nearing on any sort of special occasion. As far as he's concerned, he and Anna are just meeting Chloe and Jimmy for a cup of coffee and small talk at the Talon. Nothing special ( Read more... )

"Maybe," Clark replies. "Isn't there some saying about good things and waiting?"

(As well she should be.)

It's some measure of time later - in hours, of course - when Clark settles comfortably beside her and rests his head on her shoulder,

"Happy Valentine's Day." It is after midnight by now, after all.

"I'll say," she murmurs with sleepy satisfaction.

Then, chuckling: "You too, cheri."

"Merci."

...yes, his accent is horrible.

"Aww."

Horrible or not, it earns him a quick kiss to the forehead and a delighted hug.

"You're too cute, you know that?"

"I think it's starting to sink in," he smiles. "I told you I'd pick some up eventually."

"Oui."

She grins fondly back at him.

"I can't say much for the accent, but it's the thought that counts. Besides, I'm hardly one to talk about accents - mine's gone continental on me since I died."

"For shame," Clark teases, pressing a kiss against her throat. "I should teach you some of mine."

"Mm."

Do excuse her for being momentarily distracted by that kiss, and therefore missing the beginning of his second statement.

"Mm?"

"Kryptonian. Something tells me your accent would be about as good as my French one is."

"Ah."

She grins lazily.

"Perhaps. Don't underestimate us bilinguals, though. Supposedly it's much easier for us to pick up a third language than it is for people with only one to pick up a second. Not sure how much truth there is to that."

"Mmm. Maybe we'll find out." Not right now, however. Right now, he's just going to yawn, and nestle himself closer to her.

"Later," she murmurs, brushing his hair away from his forehead with one hand (the better to kiss it). "Right now we're busy."

And judging by where her other hand is going, about to get significantly busier.

There's nothing quite like taking shameless advantage of a boyfriend with near-limitless endurance, after all.

Shameless, indeed. Super stamina he may have, but he does get tired and given their earlier encounter at the Talon, it's been a long day.

So Anna will have to excuse him if he more or less just lets her do as she pleases.

Anna rather delights in being let to do as she pleases, on occasion.

This seems to be one of those occasions.

You can tell by all the... delighting.

Yep.

And Clark, well, he's happy to lay back and do hardly any work at all. Occasionally.

This is definitely one of those occasions.
