1. Bring them together
(I didn't have an lj when this challenge was issued so I did it later.)
Coming together
Clark was miserable.
Martha did the only thing she could; she called Lex.
Later, Lex was there.
"Where?" he asked. Martha pointed to the barn. Lex nodded. She watched him walk away and did not turn from the window until they both came out. Clark was smiling. Martha smiled too. She watched as Lex pulled her son into an embrace. They kissed like lovers.
Martha frowned but she didn't care, because her son was happy again and if it took the love of another man to accomplish that, she would gladly accept what ever the future held for her boy.
2. Break them up
Breaking Apart
(I didn't have an lj when this challenge was issued so I did it later.)
Clark smashed boulders. It wasn't that hard when you didn't care anymore. Lex was gone and after the fifth month of unreturned calls and angry confrontations where heated words were exchanged, Clark was ready to stop caring about anything.
He didn't feel physical pain at all, but the pain of heartache was a million times worse than any pain he could have imagined in his head.
They say for every year you've been together expect a month of heartache.
Clark marked his callendar. It would take three years for him to get over the only person he had ever loved.
3. Metropolis
Planes
High up above Metropolis, Lex watched Superman hold up the wing of the Jumbo 747. Superman had made it just as the plane lost altitude.
Lex blinked. It was the first time he had been this close. Lex thought he was a hottie.
Heroes were not Lex's usual forte, but for this hunk he decided he would make an exception.
Lex did a double take when he realized Superman was smiling and waving at the passengers.
His father, who had sat quietly beside Lex, tisked and went back to reading the financial pages.
Lex smiled and swore that Superman had blushed.
4. Man sitting on steps, woman sits down beside him and other man unseen aproaches them
On the Rooftop
Clark saw them half a mile away.
Diana sat down beside Batman, her golden lasso brushed Batman's thigh.
From this distance, Clark saw that Batman held something in his hand. It looked like a newspaper clipping. Clark extended his hearing.
"It's really love, Bruce," Diana said.
"I can't believe Clark would do this," Batman said. Diana took the clipping. Clark breathed in deeply. He was a quarter mile away. He saw the picture.
"He'll ask you to be his best man," Diana said.
"I'll say yes."
"Lex loves him."
Clark grinned joyfully.
"I know," Batman said just as Clark landed.
4.1 sequal to On the Rooftop
Tears
Purple bows and lilac scented air.
Thirteen thousand plus guests and Clark sat on the steps of the gazebo away from the main crowd. Selina sat down beside him and placed a black-gloved hand on his arm.
"It was a gorgeous ceremony," she said.
Clark smiled, "Yes, it was."
"I've never seen so many women cry," Selina said.
"I've never seen my father cry," Clark countered.
"Lionel Luthor cried," Selina said after a long silence.
They laughed.
"He'll be weeping uncontrollably when he gets the bill." Lex approached from behind, placed a kiss on the top of his new husband's head.
5. Alturnate Universe
Bathroom Break
Clark sucked on the cigarette and watched as Lex shook and zipped up.
"Did you get them?" Lex said without turning around.
Clark stepped forward and flicked the butt to the nearest toilet. He held the baggie and cash out for Lex. Lex took them and tucked them into his pocket.
"Come over tonight and we can celebrate," Clark said. He slipped a long arm around the bald older boy's waist and nuzzled the pale throat.
Lex smirked. "My parents won't be home until next week. We can 'celebrate' at my place if you want."
Clark growled and kissed the wet mouth.
6. Porn
Cock
Cock and mouth. Clark was here. Lex before him, naked.
Clark mouthed up the pale creamy flesh. He licked up the hard shaft.
Lex moaned. Clark gripped the cock in one hand and wrapped lips around the swollen head.
Lex's body jerked up, thrusting the shaft deeper into Clark's throat.
Lex shuddered and came as soon as Clark's throat closed around his cock.
Urgently, Clark swallowed down all the seed. He sat up and wiped at his mouth. The vision of his sated lover was enough to push Clark over the edge. He moaned and shot all over Lex's thigh.
7. Holding Hands
Sunsets and Warmth
Lex knows the Kents know about them. Even so, he's still surprised when Clark takes his hand with them right there. He swallows hard and glances at them out of the corner of his eyes.
Martha is smiling contentedly and Jonathan is busy trying hard to pretend he doesn't see.
Sitting on the Kent porch, Lex sighs as the big warm hand squeezes his. He turns to look into Clark's eyes. They are shining in the setting sun.
Lex leans in and presses forehead to forehead. A gentle kiss brushes his cheek and Lex knows he is where he belongs.
8. Clark uses power for something other than rescue.
Rescue Me
"I swear I put the jack back in the trunk."
Clark folded his arms and gave Lex his best 'I'm sure' look.
"Come on Clark." Lex made a lifting motion.
"You expect me to change a tire using my strength?" Clark sounded shocked. "What am I, your personal slave? I only use them for rescuing."
Lex chuckled. "Well, if you don't we'll be late for Pete and Lana's wedding. Come on." Lex used that sexy look. It worked. Seconds later the tire was changed and the Porsche was lowered to the pavement.
Clark scowled. "You're lucky we're in a hurry."
9. Descibe a favorite something or someone from the eyes of a Smallville character
Observation
I stand silently above, and watch him walk to his desk. I want to make my presence known, but instead I wait. It's rare for me to observe him in his natural habitat.
He is beautiful, slinky like a panther; not a single motion is wasted.
He moves to sit. He looks thoughtful for a moment. I can almost see what he is thinking.
Looking at him makes me think about what I have sacrificed for him.
He is a Luthor after all.
No matter what anybody thinks or says I love my son with every fiber of my being.
10. Word of the day challenge.
Sold
redoubtable \rih-DOW-tuh-buhl\, adjective:
1. Arousing fear or alarm; formidable.
2. Illustrious; eminent; worthy of respect or honor.
It was hard for Chloe to sit and wait.
She glanced around the corner again only to come face to face with the redoubtable Lionel himself. Her heart sped up.
"Miss Sullivan, there you are," Lionel's deep voice echoed in her ear. He gripped her bare arm and lead her out of the hallway into a darkened room.
When he leaned in close Chloe's eyes widened.
"Let's get to why I called you here."
Chloe swallowed hard and looked down at the hand that still gripped her. Suddenly she felt like she had just sold her soul to the devil.
11. Secret Meeting
Sacrifices
The opera box was blocked off from all prying eyes. Clark never would have thought this was private enough.
He sat down on one of the plush seats and fidgeted nervously.
A rustle of fabric behind him warned him of the arrival. he took a deep breathe.
"Nice to see you're taking me seriously," Lionel Luthor sat down.
"You threatened Lex, what else was I supposed to do."
"No need for dramatics. I merely wondered how long my son would survive without your guidance."
"What do you want from me?"
"Just your brand of expertise." Lionel grinned like a shark.
12. Helen had to be there
Dirty Deeds
It wasn't hard to get the money. She hadn't given the hundred thousand back.
The bar was dark enough for the exchange. A hand caressed down her back.
"You're late," she said.
"I had a few calls to make. It's over?"
Helen looked up at Paul. She handed the thick envelope to him and watched him slip it in his pocket.
"He fell for it?"
Helen held up her ring finger. Paul's eyes narrowed.
"You're not going through with it."
"I have to. Remember," she turned and stood. Her arms slid around his neck. "I'll call you when I'm done."
13. Kansas weather
Of downpours
The torrential downpour hit just as they were running into the castle. By the time they were indoor, they were both soaked to the bone.
Clark shook his head hard. Droplets of rain spattered Lex, who laughed.
"You're getting me wet."
Clark leaned in close and shook harder. His big grin was infectious. Lex couldn't help but grin back. He slid wet arms around Clark's waist and pulled him in.
"So much for our first date," Lex said.
Clark kissed Lex fervently. "We could always continue it in the den."
They kissed passionately until they were interrupted by the butler.
14. Letter S
Seize
The moment was here. He had to grab it while there was still time. But thoughts of what others would think prevented him from seizing it.
Lex was saying something important but all Clark could concentrate on was the shape his lips made when Lex said his name. The way they pursed and curved. The way the scar on his upper lip stretched.
Lex was saying Clark's name over and over again.
"Sorry," Clark said sheepishly.
"You haven't heard a word I've said."
"I was . . ." Clark decided. He leaned in and kissed those lips.
The silence in the Talon was deafening.
15. Not brought to you by the letter f
ef you see kay
"It's not what I wanted." Clark sat back.
"So." Lex threw the large bundle on the table. It landed with a resounding thud and slid to the edge.
"I can't believe you would go to these lengths."
Lex shrugged. "An annulment isn't enough."
"Lois is going to be so pissed. She'll never agree." Clark sat up and slid the bundle close.
"So. It's bad enough that she touched you at all."
Clark stood and pinned Lex.
"She was never even in your class when it came to a good . . ."
A passionate kiss. "Obscene language is not allowed in my presence."
16: No Clark: No Lex
Waiting
Jonathan wipes his hands on the already grease-stained cloth. His son's jeans are snapping in the wind and his wife is watching them dry. He knows what he will find on her cheeks if he looks close enough.
Every day he wonders what he could have said better; what he could have done better. Clark has been gone for over a month and nothing is bringing him back. Their son has the Kent stubbornness even though biologically he's not their son.
For once Jonathan wishes he didn't have to go back to the house and face what he has wrought.
18: Somebody's coming; somebody's going
Suck
The pretty blonde boy's tongue danced across his swollen purple head. Lex caressed a hollowed cheek, and stifled a moan as the tip of a finger penetrated him.
He closed his eyes. He was startled when the warmth was yanked away.
"What the hell?" When he opened his eyes the blonde was gone, and Clark towered over Lex's sagging form.
Clark smirked and reached out to caress Lex's exposed thigh. Lex shuddered as Clark fell to his knees. He watched as green eyes stared up at him, and a long, pink tongue flicked out.
"I think I can do better."
