[Facebook] A tale of two men?

[presspasskey]

Lois had been... okay, not avoiding Clark per se--she wasn't going out of her way to be where he wasn't or anything. A little less present by his side during the day, maybe. She decided to forgo her habit of stealing his coffee, and of sitting on his desk and keeping him from working until he'd agreed to proofread for her

Clark, floating outside Lois's building, watches her through the wall. He knows she hasn't really been talking to him, but she usually opens up for Superman. He drifts closer to the window and taps on it to get her attention.

One of these days he's going to have to use the front door, but this is not that day.

It takes a moment for her to register that tap on the window, and then sighs explosively. Either this is the best thing she could have gotten right now--

Or possibly the worst. Argh, men. If they weren't so much fun (and nice to look at), Lois would honestly write them all off as hopeless.

After thinking about it for a moment, she smiles and swings her legs off the couch to go open the window. She smiles at him--she can't help it, it always warms her a little to realize he's here to talk to her. "Hi."

[smallvillekent]

"Hi," he returns with a smile. She's looked better, but she's also certainly looked worse. He doesn't think this is a particularly bad time... "Can I come in?"

Considering the number of times she's nearly died, having looked worse is a given.

Lois starts for a moment before moving and waving him inside. "Of course," she calls over her shoulder as she makes a bee-line for her ice cream again. "I hope everything's okay? Even CNN seems to think the world's still standing, at least."

"Where should we go?" He stands, picking her up easily as he does so. It doesn't even require a second thought - they're going flying, so she needs to be in his arms.

Lois is happy to wrap her arms around his neck, and smiles at him.

"Surprise me," she suggests. She's in a mood to just turn her mind off for a little while.

Getting out through her window is easy enough, and from there he guides them through the air, flying along leisurely.

If he's taking her toward a colder climate, well, she might just have to cling a little tighter to him.

Lois does, in fact, press just a little tighter, trying to absorb some warmth from him.

"You know, surprise or not, you could at least give me an idea how to dress for these outings," she comments in some amusement.

[smallvillekent]

He hums in agreement, backing her up until she hits the wall. He has to lean down a little to reach her, but it's not too uncomfortable.

"Do you still want that coffee?"

[presspasskey]

Lois nibbles a little on his lip. "Only if you do."

Some part of her thinks that of all the massively unwise decisions she's made, this may beat them all.

She honestly doesn't care.

[smallvillekent]

"I'm good."

He kisses a path down her jaw to her neck, his hands caressing her sides. He's confident that if she wants him to stop, she'll say something. She's not exactly shy.

[presspasskey]

Lois is by far the bolder of the two, although she's more than happy to let him set the pace right now. She's never sure what he's expecting from... whatever it is they are, these days.

Which is probably part of why she just laughs softly, running her fingers through his hair. "Yes, you are," she murmurs absently.
