FIFTY FIFTH SHOT

[sin_nom]

Clark, are you at least going to give me the chance to explain? I...

That thing with Tony is...

It's not what you think. I know he said he explained it to you, but I think you should hear it from me.

I don't want you to get the wrong idea.

I heard. I wouldn't want to intrude on whatever joke you're playing on, and there can always be another time.

...

Sorry, mom told me that she wanted me over for Christmas eve.

[sin_nom]

I'm not... not playing a joke on anyone, Clark. Please don't...

Oh.

If that's... well, that's alright. We can still get coffee some other time, I mean, if you still want to...

[thesonsent]

I'll check if I can. New Years is a busy time for the paper and all that.

Uhm. Good luck with whatever you and Tony are up to.

[sin_nom]

...So, I guess you're not going to let me explain, huh? Even though he already told you...

I get it. Whatever. Happy Christmas, Hero, hope things don't get too busy.

[sin_nom]

Don't.

Please, I don't expect you to say you care, but if you really do, then just... don't.

[sin_nom]

Your old man was never right about anything, and you and I both know the only reason you said that was to be hurtful.

So, just save it.

[alls_shiny]

You ... doin' alright?

[sin_nom]

I just don't seem to have any luck around Christmas at all. So, that'd be a resounding "no."

[alls_shiny]

I got pretty bad luck myself. This one time, few years ago? Machine I was buildin' blew up all over our Christmas tree. Lit the whole thing on fire.

Daddy and me went out drinkin' instead. Seemed to make the whole thing a lot funnier at least.

[sin_nom]

You're joking. That's... well, at least you managed to take it in stride...

Last year, I nearly lost my best friend forever, and I think I would have if he hadn't forgotten the whole ordeal ever happened. This year, I... might have done it again, with a different best friend, because I made stupid decisions and--

Let me try this again.

Hi, I'm Lady, and you are?

[lightning_larx]

lol.

[sin_nom]

Save it.

[lightning_larx]

How many boyfriends is this at once?

[sin_nom]

Shut up, Larxene, or do you want me to start taking bets on how long Marluxia is going to last this time?

[fillmydarksoul]

That sucks. Do you want to come to Gotham with me and hang out?

[sin_nom]

No.

The last thing I need right now is more superheroes.

[fillmydarksoul]

...

Wanna come with me and create trouble for Azula?

[sin_nom]

Kaylee and I are going drinking. Are you coming or no?
