>>Lex couldn't believe the lengths he was willing to go to in order to keep Clark amused, so he would stay and give Lex a taste of what he craved>>
SO true!
>>The buzz and high-pitched thrum of electronics left Lex with a sinking heart. There was only one room with that distinctive sound>>
oh dear... the reckoning cometh. how is it that this is the favored hinge moment for so many of us? because we WANT Clark to know how obsessed Lex is with him?
>>the pain in Clark's face nearly drove Lex to his knees>>
as always...
>>"It's my life, too!...Everything in here is related to my brushes with death since my arrival in Smallville, and they're all inexplicably linked to you.">>
something we would all do well to remember...
>>"I...did. There's nothing new added since that day. I just couldn't destroy what I already had.">>
oooh, good point.
>>"It would have been like losing...pieces of you...a part of you that I could claim as my own.">>
something Lex could NEVER bring himself to do. he has to hang on to any little bit of Clark he can. *sobbing*
>>How you could be so dishonest with me, with yourself>>
um...he's much more honest with himself than you are with yourself, lovey.
>>"What if your father saw this and decided to come after me or my parents? What gave you the right to place us in danger?">>
i sometimes wonder if Lex ever considered that, or if he was so convinced of his own cleverness in that cat and mouse with daddy...
>>"How can I trust you with what I am and how I feel about you, if I can't even trust you to keep your word about something as important as this?">>
oooh, ouch. yeah, that hurts! and i bet Lex's heart just LURCHED at the 'how i feel about you' bit; chances lost (maybe)...sigh. god, these two and the bad timing and the crossed wires...
no subject
