summary: every since you and clark tried out “just the tip” he’s been insatiable, borderline insane with need. no matter how many times he fills you to the brim, it’s never enough. not even at his company’s halloween party
It had been a few weeks since you had convinced Clark to fuck you—even though it was just the tip—and since then a few things had changed.
1. Clark fucked you in earnest now.
No longer did he worry about just the tip. He was still gentle and cautious when it mattered, but he gladly fed you every inch of his cock if you asked.
2. He was much more desperate for you.
Yes, he used to quite literally beg to eat you out, but it was different now. More of a primal need. He was on you 24/7 now it seemed, always kissing up on you and murmuring about how badly he needed you.
And you loved it.
Having an otherworldly handsome man grovel at your feet every time he wanted to have sex did wonders for your self esteem. And, you wanted him just as badly.
The only downside about his new insatiability was the fact that he had little shame about the whole thing. He wouldn’t hesitate to tug you off to whatever empty, semi-private room and fuck you silly however he could get you.
Running errands that were taking a little too long? He’d sidle up behind you and press kisses to your neck and murmur something about heading to the car for a quickie.
Hopping into the shower to wash off a long day at work? He was following you in and rubbing up your body, groping at your breasts to get you ready.
Or like now, how you two were crammed into the supply closet at the Daily Planet office, Clark’s hand over your mouth to muffle your moans.
He pounded into you with reckless abandon, his hips slapping against your ass rhythmically. He was grunting into your hair, huffing and puffing each time you clenched around his length.
Outside, the office’s Halloween party was in full swing. People were dressed up and having fun, playing games and having contests, all while completely oblivious to what you and Clark were up to.
“Ohhh yeah, baby.” He groaned, his head buried in the crook of you neck. “Just… just like that. Takin’ me so well. Doing so good.”
His cock plunged in and out of you roughly, each vein dragging inside your walls so beautifully. His cock was so big, stretching you out so nicely, all you could do was babble helplessly against his big palm.
You were so close now, walls fluttering around him with each moan you let out. You could tell that he felt it, judging by the way he moaned against your temple.
“Oh, jeez. Gonna cum. I’m… golly. Where do you want it?” He asked in a whine, continuing to pummel into you while his grip tightened on your hips.
You were so close, so close that you didn’t want him to pull out. And you definitely didn’t want him to ruin your costume with any stains. So, you sucked in a breath and pulled his hand away from your mouth.
“Inside, Clark. Please.” You whined, intentionally clamping down on his length.
He groaned at that, pressing a kiss to the top of your spine as his thrusts grew sloppy. “Jeez—you… are you sure?”
“Uh-huh!” You nodded, holding back a cry of his name. Clark reached around your front, pushing past the fabric of your skirt to find your clit. He worked it in tight circles until you were clenching around him and moaning shrilly.
He clamped his hand over your mouth again as he you both came, spurting thick ropes of cum deep inside you. You felt him fill you up, warm and thick as he continued thrusting just barely.
Just when you thought he was done, he’d twitch and release more and more cum inside you. There was so much, the warmth seeping out of you and dripping down the inside of your thighs with the sheer amount.
Finally it stopped, and the two of you were left panting and sweaty. He chuckled breathily against your neck, inhaling your scent. Things were quiet between you two, the overwhelming need tampered down to a soft, gentle kind of care. Love.
Then there was a knock on the supply room door, and Jimmy’s voice came out gratingly loud from the other side.

SWEET. UNDENIABLY GENEROUS. AND JUST SO GOSH DARN PERFECT
All words Clark has used to describe you—and it wasn’t even the half of it.
Every praise he gave you carried the weight of truth, the warmth of a man who meant every syllable with his whole heart. He admired everything: the way your drive never faltered when you set your sights on something, the quiet determination stitched into the way you carried yourself, the softness you never once confused for weakness.
And Lord, had Ma and Pa Kent heard it all. They’d endured every ramble of his, the kind that started with your smile and ended with a dreamy sigh; they’d caught every dazed grin when he let your name slip into a story that didn’t need it. Lovesick, head to toe—that was Clark when it came to you, and he never bothered to hide it.
Small polaroids of the two of you are pinned to his bulletin board right beside his “to-do” lists—reminders of what really matters tucked in with the mundane. A framed photo sits proudly on his desk from his last birthday, the one where you and Ma Kent are laughing as you smear a streak of homemade buttercream across his cheek, his grin wide enough to split the frame as his eyes shine while they’re on you. And then there are the notes—those little scraps of your handwriting you sneak into his bag with lunch—collected and tucked neatly into a pocket of his agenda, kept as carefully as if they were treasures.
His sweet girl.
Clark wasn’t the only one to see it—everyone in your shared circle adored you. You soaked up affection without even trying, always so warm, so endlessly loved. And he agreed, you deserved every bit of it. If anything, watching people dote on you only made him prouder to be the one you went home with, the one you called yours.
But what no one else knew—what no one could even begin to imagine—was how his sweet, darling girl has the insatiable need to bounce on his stupidly big cock until your thighs shook and your pussy was pumped impossibly full with his cum.
How your sweetness turned shameless the second the bedroom door shut behind you—how you’d sink down onto him with greedy little whimpers, taking every inch of him even when your walls clenched around him like you couldn’t possibly stretch any further.
You’d ride him raw, nails scratching down his chest, spit dripping from your swollen lips as you moaned for more, for deeper. You’d grind down until his cock pressed hard against your cervix, until you were sobbing from the fullness, and still it wasn’t enough. Not until he was spilling into you—thick, hot, endless—until you felt his cum gush out around him and make a creamy ring around the base of his length, practically dripping down your thighs, soaking the sheets beneath you.
You wouldn't give up until you were completely burnt out and even then, Clark learned that you practically drooled when he pumped it right back in with short little thrusts as your eyes lulled shut.
And the filthiest part? You never let him pull out. Not once. Even when you were too sensitive to move, trembling and whimpering, you’d whine into his ear—“mmf inside, Clark…d-don’t pull out”—and he’d stay buried, cock twitching, giving you every last drop.
Because for all your sweetness, all your perfection, what really soothed you—what really calmed that greedy, aching need inside you—was knowing you had every ounce of his cum right where you wanted it.
Because how could he deny you? His sweet girl, the one he adored beyond reason, begging for more of him like he was the only thing in the world that could soothe you. He’d hold you close, his big hands steadying your shivering body as he stayed buried inside, cock twitching with every aftershock of your pussy clenching around him. He’d murmur soft praises against your hair—“s'perfect, honey, you take me so good, I’ll give you everything, I swear it.”
What no one else saw—what no one else deserved to see—was the way you looked wrapped around him, flushed and dewy-eyed with tears streaking down your cheeks, lips parted, a mess of sweetness and sin tangled together. The way your greedy little pleas weren’t selfish at all to him, but a gift, because it meant he could give you more. More of his touch, more of his strength, more of himself.
He’d kiss your damp cheeks when you cried from the fullness, whispering “shh, I’ve got you… it’s alright, sweetheart, I’ll take care of it,” And then he’d cum again, as if his body were answering your need for him directly, flooding you until you went lax in his arms. He loved how your hands would fist in his hair or cling to his chest.
Then there were the moments when you left him completely undone—when Superman himself was the one trembling under you. His face flushed, lips parted, eyes glassy from the way you used him without mercy, working every last inch of his cock like it was yours to take and take again.
He’d lie back against the pillows, chest rising fast, hands clamped hard around your hips as if that was the only thing keeping him grounded. Sometimes he’d try to slow you, pushing down, a helpless groan breaking out when your needy little whines got louder, when your pussy clenched around him so tight he thought he might lose his mind. Other times, instinct won out and those big hands dug into the fat of your ass, guiding you down harder, rougher, until the wet smack of your bodies echoed through the room.
And he’d watch you through it all—your hair sticking to your damp cheeks, your lips swollen from biting back moans, the sweet curve of your body taking him like it was made for nothing else. Every bounce, every roll of your hips left him scrambling between restraint and surrender, his voice cracking as he begged you for more even while he swore he had nothing left to give.
But you always proved him wrong.
Because no matter how many times he spilled inside you, no matter how spent he thought he was, the sight of you writhing on top of him—his sweet girl turned ravenous—dragged him right back to the edge, over and over, until Clark Kent, the strongest man alive, was nothing but a gasping, fucked-out mess under your control.
There was no argument that Clark Kent—the world’s strongest man—was helpless and completely at your mercy when it came to you.
And he gave you everything. Every drop. Every ounce. Every part of himself, over and over, because nothing in this world—or any other—could make him feel prouder, or more wanted, than being the only man who could touch you like this.
summary: yes yes, the idea of you letting your boyfriend use you whenever he wants is hot, whatever… but what if he lets you use him whenever you wanted…
content warnings: smut, free use (consensual obvi), cum eating, lwk somnophilia, kinda subby!clark (#needdat btw), clark basically letting you use him as your personal dildo :3
wc: 1.1k
“You can use me whenever you want, baby. I don’t mind at all.”
That was what he told you.
At first you didn’t know what the fuck he was talking about??
Like… Use him? For what???
He blurted it out while he was making you both breakfast and you had zero clue what he meant.
“Use you?” You tilted your head as he set a plate of pancakes in front of you, a small square of butter melting on top as he drizzled some syrup on top.
He puffed his cheeks out softly before blowing out the air from his mouth with a breathy chuckle.
“Ya know…” he mumbled softly before turning around and flipping one of the pancakes that were in the pan.
You raised an eyebrow questioningly, “Know what?”
You watched his shoulders roll as he turned around, letting a small huff exit his lips as he rested his hands on the kitchen island, leaning over slightly as he looked down at you.
“Like… sexually. If you’re ever stressed or… frustrated… Or just… Wanna have sex, you don’t need to ask. Just take it from me.” He let out a breath he didn’t even know he was holding as he nodded softly, turning back around to flip the pancake onto a plate without a word from you.
Oh.
Your eyebrows raised slightly as you bit the inside of your cheek, nodding softly as you grabbed your fork to cut up the pancakes.
“I will… keep that in mind.”
And you absolutely did.
You kept it in mind when he walked through the door of your shared apartment, you had been laying on the couch in the living room as a random show played on the tv, sitting up slightly as you rested your elbows on the back of the couch and laid your head on your arms with an innocent smile.
“Welcome home.” You hummed softly as your eyes trailed up and down his large figure, his suit jacket hung over his arm, his white button-up hugging his biceps with the sleeves pulled up just a little, a few of the buttons undone—Fuck. He looked so good.
“Hi baby.” He smiled softly as he kicked his shoes off and bent down to pick them up before placing them on the shoe rack you forced him to assemble (you hated that he wanted you to just leave your shoes at the front door when you first started dating).
You readjust slightly as you keep staring, watching his every movement like a predator waiting to attack its prey.
Clark sat upright and froze for a moment, turning his head to face you with a knowing expression at your silence.
He knew. So, he gave.
“B-baby..” He whined softly as you bobbed your head up and down his cock.
He was splayed across the couch, his right arm resting on the couch arm with his left laying on top of your body, his hand resting on your thigh.
You moaned softly as you pulled off him for a second, your tongue swirling around his tip before pressing a soft kiss to it. “So pretty, Clark. ‘Ya know that?” You say before wrapping your lips around him again and bobbing your head up and down on his dick once more.
He nods with a soft whimper as his right hand grips onto the couch arm, his head leaning back slightly as a shaky breath left his lips.
Gosh he’s perfect. You thought as you pull off him for a bit and mumble against his dick, “Touch my pussy, baby. She’s so wet for you.”
And just that, sent him off the edge. His climax washed over him like a wave as his body shuttered softly. Low whimpers and whines leaving his lips as you pull away and tilted your head up at him with a smile, his cum dripping down your face.
“I-I’m sorry!” He panicked as he cupped your face lightly, wiping his spend off with his fingers.
You shook your head with a chuckle before grabbing his hand, and licking his cum off his fingers, your eyes still staring up at him before smiling again.
The second time you kept what he said in mind, it was just about midnight. You had been stirring in your sleep and Clark had been turned away from you as your eyes shot open.
You turned towards Clark and scooted to him as you rested your hand on his shoulder, shaking him softly. “Clark?”
He hummed softly as you pulled him to roll over on his back, the moonlight peeking through the blinds. He moved his arm to make space for you as you moved to straddle his lap, his hand snaking below you to pull his pajama pants and underwear down enough to free his cock.
He already knew. Even when his ass was half asleep, he knew.
He was still soft, so you went to move down slightly and wrap your hand around him before he stopped you, his voice deep and raspy from sleep as he cupped your face, “Hold on.. Look at me for a sec.”
You rubbed your eye with your hand as you looked down at him, blinking softly as you watched him smile lightly. You tilted your head and narrowed your eyes in confusion before you felt something below you harden… What the fuck?
“Ok. Go ahead, baby.” He mumbled softly as he rested his hands on your ass, flipping your satin nightgown up just a bit as he closed his eyes once more.
You were still confused on how he got so fucking hard so quickly but you weren’t gonna question it.
You lift your hips up just a bit as you pull your panties to the side and sink down onto him, a moan leaving both of your mouths as he filled you.
You just about rode him into the next life, your hands resting on his chest as you lifted your hips up and sunk down on him constantly.
You whined softly as you threw your head back, the veins on his cock rubbing your insides just right as his tip kept hitting your sweet spot deliciously.
“C-Clark!” You squealed softly as the soft plap plap plap of your ass smacking against his thighs lingered in the air, your cunt squelching around his cock.
“S’okay, baby… Use me.” He groaned softly as his hands helped to lift you up and down his girth.
Your body shook above him as your climax hit you like a damn truck. Your walls tightening just enough to help him reach his own as you felt ropes of his cum fill you to the brim.
Heavy breaths left both of your lips as you both basked in the afterglow of your spend.
You pant softly with a smile before leaning down and pressing a kiss to his forehead. “Thank you, my love.”
He opened his eyes just a bit with a smile as you then press your lips against his, his hands groping your ass softly.
Spending hours between your thighs, his lips parted as his mouth covers your pussy. He mouths at your mound, his eyes shut tight, the smell and taste of you invading his senses.
He uses his fingers to spread your folds open, giving him a nice view of you. He watches your slick drip out as you clench around nothing. Your clit is puffy, aching for attention.
He smirks up at you before leaning in. He nuzzles his nose against the needy nub as his tongue focuses on circling your entrance, drinking up your arousal before slipping into you.
You squeak, your hands grabbing his hair and tugging at it softly. A deep groan leaves him, his cock twitching as he pushes your legs farther apart, giving him more room.
You squeal and writhe as he enjoys his time between your thighs, drinking up your slick, smearing his saliva all over your cunt.
When your body starts trembling, he knows it's time to give you your reward for letting him eat you out. He focuses his mouth on your clit, licking and sucking at it, while he slides two fingers into you.
You buck your hips against his face, feeling your orgasm getting closer and closer with each flick of his tongue and every curl of his fingers to your g-spot.
His eyes are on you, but the closer you get to your release, the harder it is for him to control himself.
He starts bucking his hips against the bed, grunting and groaning, eating you out with more need and fervor than before.
You come, thighs squeezing his head between them, pussy clenching around his fingers tightly, lips parting to mewl his name, and he loses it.
He grunts, eyes shut tight as he drinks up your slick, his breathing heavy, his hips grinding against the mattress until he comes, spilling his thick cum onto the front of his sweatpants.
He pulls away from your cunt, breathless, his mouth and chin and nose smeared in your arousal. He kisses you tenderly, allowing you to taste yourself on his tongue, before whispering, “God, how I love that pussy of yours.”
synopsis. best friends puppy and bunny have been getting very close since mating. the scournful looks bring your deeper doubts and insecurities to light. puppy does not appreciate you backing out now.
you really don't mean to, is what you tell yourself every time you duck behind a doorway or skitter down a hall the minute you catch the faintest whiff of his scent approaching you. it's only because every time you think about Puppy, your tummy knots up in a guilty, unpleasant way that makes you want to be sick.
you don't regret what happened, or him. you're happy you'd mated with him. relished in the way his knot swelled inside you and he filled you with so much cum that your belly'd chubbed up around it, adored the way he fumbled nervously with the buckle of the collar he slid onto you after. the final claim he'd left on you that night. he'd got it for you as a surprise and waited until after the knot he'd shoved in you had deflated to put it around your neck.
the problem is, you know what people would think if they saw a bunny and a puppy as a bonded pair. it's not often that a prey hybrid like you gets with a predator like him.
bunnies are meant to be with another gentle creature. one without sharp fangs or claws that cut when they grab.
you can already hear how people would murmur about how stupid you must be to let a puppy scent you and mate with you. they'd say he's just following instinct to pop a knot in whatever's closest to him. that you're a phase he'll grow bored of and go find another predator to be with.
they'd never believe how he told you he loved you, how he buried his face against your chest, unable to let go, how he whined when he finally pushed his knot into you because it was the only thing that could quiet the noise in his head.
part of you thinks maybe he'd been pretending. puppies do act out of control more often than any other hybrid, after all.
you skip sitting next to him at meals these days. you leave your burrow a little earlier in the mornings to make sure you won't run into him on your way to your classes. and if you do cross paths, you pretend you don't hear him calling your name.
you find yourself unable to trust him or how much he claims to love and want you, because all you can hear in your head is what everyone else must be thinking.
the separation is not good for either of you, though.
your brains have now been conditioned to want each other, awaiting the final part of your bond - him biting down on your mating gland and claiming you for good. until it gets that, it won't settle.
your body aches in weird ways when you don't see him or feel him pressed up against you. it's worse than loneliness or sadness - it's physical. your skin gets hot, your throat goes tight, and your little cotton tail twitches restlessly against your thighs like it's searching for something that isn't there. you're constantly soaked too. your body keeps preparing for something that isn't coming.
your body thinks you should be glued to him, curled up in his lap, cock deep inside you, knot plugging you full so not a drop of him can leak out.
but you keep running anyway, even while you feel yourself falling apart.
as if it'll help, you start leaving the collar off. you just take it off one night, fingers twitching and bunny ears pinning against your head in shame as you slip it from your neck and shove it deep into your bag where he won't see it.
without it, you feel… less obvious. less marked. less his.
you can't stand how you feel when you think about his reaction if he ever notices.
of course, he notices.
even when you think you're clever, puppy still finds you. his nose twitches when you're near, ears flicking every time you sneak past, eyes tracking you. when you vanish for too long, you hear him pacing outside your burrow, sniffing the air, whining under his breath, claws scratching against the outside surface that you've shut him out of. he knows you're hiding, and it's hurting him.
you can feel it through the bond, a heavy ache that doesn't fully belong to you. it's from him. without you, he's become frantic and needy in his search for you, and his feelings seep into your body, increasing your own.
said feelings make you curl your thighs together under your blanket at night, rutting desperately against one of your pillows that still have his scent, biting back sobs as you cum messily all over yourself just from imagining him. again.
regardless, when you wake in the morning, sticky and ashamed, you still avoid him.
for days this goes on. you won't stop, and he can't stand it. every time you catch even a glimpse of him, he looks worse. darker circles under his eyes, hands twitching when you walk past him without looking, pupils blown wide with bags underneath indicating a lack of sleep. he smells different too, heady and slightly musky, as his body has been leaking little spurts of slick that stain his pants because he can't stop thinking about you.
₊˚⊹ 𐂯
on the fifth day of dodging him, pretending you don't hear his voice, ducking down paths you've never even seen before, dousing yourself in unpleasant perfumes and lotions to mask your scent, all while silently aching for him, he breaks.
you don't know that he's done with this game of chase when you slip off in the early afternoon with your bag over your shoulder and creep through the courtyard assuming you'll get away with one more day of space. he is determined to put an end to this.
he's tracking you intently, having memorized your schedule and little routines and doing the opposite, knowing that's your plan. he tries to ignore the way his cock won't stay soft in anticipation of finding you and having you. his knot is already starting to swell even though he hasn't touched you. he hasn't even touched himself because he adamantly refuses to. it's not enough. only you are enough.
the bond drags him like a chain around his throat, yanking him down the trail you walked. your scent is everywhere, despite your attempts to suppress it. your pheromones don't go away, neither does your natural bunny musk or the slick leaking down your thighs. he growls when it spikes strongly, indicating you just passed through - and his body jerks forward without him even thinking.
he's drooling. his ears are flat against his skull as he pants and whines, making little desperate noises because you're too far, you're too far, his mate is too far-
you decide to skip your morning lesson because you feel too hot and needy to bear sitting in a stuffy room for an hour and a half. you wander out past the courtyard and into the far-off fields, dumping yourself in the grass to try and calm your body. with your eyes shut and your mind focused on the heat in your core, you don't realize you've been tracked all the way out here.
you don't hear the crunch of dirt under his shoes at first, or his loud panting and his tail lashing behind him at the excitement of finally reuniting with you. you only notice when the bond causes the hairs on your neck to stand on end, your own tail twitching.
he bursts through the treeline, chest heaving, sweat dripping down his temples. he looks nothing like your Puppy right now. he looks starved.
"Bun," he gasps. his gaze locks on you hungrily, your scent wrapping around him, causing his whole body to shudder in delight. you're here. here with him. "Bun! why'd you-" he cuts himself off with a low whine, stumbling toward you and dropping himself down in front of you, hands clutching the front of his pants where the obscene bulge strains and drips wetness through the fabric. his tail lashes behind him, making thump thump thump noises on the ground below.
you stare at the sight before you, how he's panting and nearly humping the ground needily, already leaning towards you. his nose catches the scent of your unclaimed mating gland starting to leak open. you stumble back slightly, floppy ears twitching again. "i d-didn't mean to..." the lie comes out of your mouth before you can stop it. you did mean to avoid him, ignore him, cast him aside. he knows that.
his nostrils flare and he lets out a groan, leaning down to press his face against your shoulder, your neck, sniffing and whining like a lost animal finally finding home. "found you," he mumbles, "y'keep running but i always-" he takes a deep inhale of your mating gland, lapping up some leakage. "i can't be without you, bunny, please. i-it hurts so bad, see?" he takes your hand and moves it to the hard outline of his cock through his pants. "it wants you, all of me wants you all the time a-and when you leave me i get like this."
you clamp your thighs together at his admission, your fluffy cotton tail wet at the base from how damp your panties are. his nose twitches at the scent, and his eyes fix on your pretty pussy hidden by your academy skirt. he paws at you for a moment, then trails his eyes up to look for your mating gland and the collar that's supposed to be wrapped around your throat, only to see that it's not there.
his ears flatten against his hair harder, both pointing in either direction agitatedly. now his tail bristles straight out, snarls leaving his mouth almost threateningly. his hands come up to wrap around your neck. "where is it," he hisses. "where is my collar?"
"mph! puppy... puppy i'm sorry, i put it away!"
his claws graze your throat. he's trying to be gentle to avoid hurting you, but it's hard with how you've been treating him the last several days when he's never needed you more, and now you do this to him. the final slap in the face, taking off his gift to you. his eyes widen, getting glassy and wet around the rims. "you took it off," it sounds like an angry sob. "you took it off. you don't want me. you don't-" his voice breaks completely. he takes one hand off your throat to paw at your floppy ears, keeping your head in place so you can't cower away from him. "say it's not true. say you still want me. say it. say it."
your ears twitch in his hands and your face scrunches up a little, more arousal filling your body as he grips on your bun ears firmly. he knows they're sensitive, more so because he'd been biting them when the two of you had sex. it's embarrassing how easily you react to him.
diverting your attention back to the pressing matter at hand and stopping yourself from moaning aloud, you fumble for your bag with clumsy fingers, heart racing. "i-i kept it! ngh, be gentle with me... i k-kept it, see?" you pull the collar out, the leather cold from sitting at the base of your bag all day.
he makes a yipping sound and snatches the collar out of your hands like a starving animal. for a beat he just stares at it, trembling all over. then he lunges towards you, grabbing the back of your neck with one hand to tilt your head up, making sure the heel of his hand presses against your mating gland to get you all dumb and even more aroused by him. he brings the collar to your throat with his free hand, muttering. "mine. my bunny." to you while he fumbles with the buckle and slides the strap around your neck, pulling it snug around your neck.
"ngh pup," you moan as his hand pushes on the sensitive ridges of your glands, replacing the pressure with that of the collar once it's around you. then he drags his thumb over the little tag hanging from it, his initials on it being his final straw.
he shoves his face into the uncovered part of your throat, nuzzling so hard your back hits the grass beneath you. he uses the opportunity to pin you down, nosing, licking, nipping at your neck and jaw. pup's big hands are everywhere - pawing at your hips, thighs, and your breasts. he kneads your softness in his hands, rolling fat thumbs over your nipples to make you keen under him. "want ya t'smell like me again, bun... never take it off again, never run again, please please please just be with me!"
his knot is fully swollen now, a hard bulge straining obscenely against his pants. he reverts to his natural instincts and flips you onto your belly to press himself between your plump ass cheeks and underneath your fuzzy tail. "mm… fuck- can't survive it, bunny. i needa have you."
he bucks his hips against your ass, rutting like he's already inside you. whining, his hands slide under your thighs, lifting you slightly more so your crotch is directly against the thick bulge in his pants.
meanwhile, his face buries into the side of your neck. he keeps whining, nose nuzzling and dragging over your exposed skin. he keeps flicking and lapping his tongue over your gland, mouthing at the slick skin but not puncturing it with his teeth yet.
his hands cup the swell of your ass, dragging his nails along your thighs as he shifts his weight against you, rubbing the thick, meaty length of his cock against your slick panties. every tiny grind makes your hips jerk back to meet him, nipples brushing against the soft cotton of your top, back arching involuntarily to meet your ass with his front. you're presenting yourself for him. every movement makes his knot throb against the curve of your ass, and makes his claws dig just a little deeper into your thighs.
Puppy's claws catch the waistband of your panties and tear them down. he doesn't waste any more time, using his free hand to shove his own pants down enough to free himself. he drops his heavy cock against your bare ass, leaking slick onto your flesh. with a loud whine, he rubs the swollen head against your folds, pushing your soaked tail up so it doesn't get in the way. pre-cum smears all over your pussy lips as he rubs himself between them, getting you even messier by mixing your slick with his. it feels so good it makes him delirious. when the head of his cock bumps against the underside of your clit and you jolt, he can't take it anymore, and starts to push forward.
his tip breaches you slowly, the wetness minimizing the resistance of your tight hole. you cry out into the grass, hands fisting it, as he slides in inch by inch, stretching you out with his meaty cock. "mngh- s' so warm," he babbles, throwing his head back as he breaches deeper, your walls hugging onto his cock so tightly that he has to hold back from cumming inside you then and there. "so tight, bun. missed you, missed you so much…" he rocks his hips shallowly, working himself deeper while trying to make sure he doesn't hurt you.
he grabs onto one of your floppy ears to make you arch your back and take more of him, his tail thwacking against your leg as he buries himself to the hilt, knot bumping against your pussy but not going in yet. he starts rocking his hips and fucking into you, cock slipping wetly through your walls sticky and loud. you can feel how swollen the knot is already, nudging at your clit each time he bottoms out. it's begging to be seated inside you, and it's driving him to fuck you harder and faster. every thrust is a messy grind of skin and slick, as he presses his mouth sloppily against your neck.
"hnn, bun, smell so good... y'smell so fuckin' good," he mumbles, tongue dragging over your gland again and catching every leaking drop with his long puppy tongue. his nose is pressed so firmly that he's inhaling your pheromones straight from the source, and it's messing with his brain even more. his thrusts speed up until he's literally pounding you into the grass, flared head bumping against your cervix and dragging back against your soft walls so he can do it again. "gonna go crazy, 'm already s'obsessed with you... you can't leave me again, bun, need y'so much, all the time-"
your arms give under his weight, your chest pressing into the grass. he starts tugging your shirt off so he can have you completely nude under him, big hands squeezing at the fat of your breasts, anchoring you in place by groping you while he thrusts into you hard and fast. the knot keeps bumping and pressing against your pussy, catching a little more each time, stretching you open just a fraction before popping back out.
"need it inside, bun," he groans, angling his thrusts down so the swollen knot slams against your rim, stretching you wider each time until you squeal into the dirt. "please, can't stand bein' out here empty, you're s'posed to be full of me, always. look-" his hand drags down your tummy, palm pressing against the soft bulge his cock makes inside you, "there, feel me? needs to be all the way in, bun. all the way in your belly."
sobbing into the grass he's got your cheek pressed against, your walls clamp down tight around him to drag his cock in for more and squeeze him in place to keep your cunt full of him. your thighs tremble as slick runs down them in messy strings. you milk him with each thrusts, and he lets out a loud cry when you clamp down too hard, his hips snapping forward as the thick swell of his knot finally pushes inside, stretching you open with a loud pop.
his arms wrap around your waist immediately as you scream and flail, hauling you back flush against him as his knot locks into place, shoving his cock even deeper inside you so his tip shoves inside your cervix just a little. he's all up in your guts now, cock breaching your womb. you SCREAM in ecstasy, thrashing even as the knot and his arms keep you stuck to him.
"mm! gotcha bun," he gasps, drooling against your neck as his cock throbs deep inside you, pulsing in time with his rapid heartbeat. "got my bunny back, mnghhhh 'm not lettin' go,"
his cock throbs hard inside you, and you realize he's about to cum, knot swelling impossibly tight inside you as his balls push flat against your folds. his teeth graze your gland again but he doesn't bite yet, just pants and cries loud, desperate moans into your throat as his hips jackhammer shallow and fast. his whole body trembles, ears pressed flat, tail stiff. then he lets out a loud whimper and everything inside you seizes up.
he unleashes his first load of heavy, hot cum inside your belly. it floods inside you in waves, his cock jerking inside you with each spill from his twitching cock, his knot grinding deeper into the snug ring of your entrance. it's pouring out of him in endless spurts, slicking your walls until it's sloshing inside you. his knot keeps you plugged so nothing leaks out, and now you feel stuffed full past capacity. your tummy swells against his palm when he slides his hand down to press against it.
his cock throbs inside you, another gush flooding past your cervix and pooling in your womb as he keeps pumping his cock further to make sure it gets all inside. your ears flop forward since he'd let go of it, and you moan high and needy, eyes rolling back. but he's not done. his teeth start digging into your gland. you know you should be afraid because the bond is forever, but you know that he's the one you want as your mate forever. your gland throbs where his mouth suckles. "do it," you wail. "please, p-pup, just do it!"
and that's all he needs to sink his fangs into the swollen gland.
it hurts at first, the puncture of teeth in your most sensitive spot making you cry out, but it's drowned away quickly by the rush of pleasure that follows. a gush of slick squirts out from you around his knot, splattering his thighs at the same time your bond opens for him and his teeth marks lock into the soft glands. you scream as you reach your peak, pussy spasming around his cock and milking him even tighter. it causes another torrent of his cum to spurt inside you. you squeezed him so tight right now, and your squirting was all it took for him to unload even more.
he howls into your neck, knot expanding to keep in the higher volume of his repeated loads. each one feels heavier than the last, your belly taut and sloshy, stretched round from how much he's dumped inside you. his tongue laves over the bite as his teeth stay sunk, sealing the bond while your body shakes under him.
yes, the idea of reader getting used as a fleshlight is fantastic, but what about reader using him as a dildo? not worried about his pleasure. you're only fucking him because he's a loser with a huge cock.
you're stuffing your panties (lacy, soaked through, reeking of your perfect pussy) into his face in a failed attempt to stifle his loud, unabashed moans. he definitely hasn't been fucked before, if so, not like this. due to his inexperience, he's probably came way too many times already inside you, and so you're bouncing on his fat, slimy cock with cum sloshing inside you and leaking with every bounce onto his pelvis.
"oh fuck- shut up, will you? i'm t-trying... mmnh... to focus," you manage out. trying to sound stern is basically an impossibility when you've got his cock smushed inside you to the hilt.
his hands are fisted in the sheets, knuckles white, thighs trembling beneath you as you sink down on him and then rock your hips back and forth while completely stuffed. this method doesn't give him as much pleasure as it does for you, but you don't care. this isn't for his pleasure, or your connection. all you care about is how deep he hits when you sink all the way, how your cunt's clenching so tight he can't stop shaking.
"f-fuck-!" he whines again pathetically through the lace in his mouth, drool soaking the crotch of your panties where they're pressed over his mouth and nose. his eyes are wide, glassy, fixed on the place where you meet him. it's humiliating how desperate he looks.
"you like getting used, huh?" you pant, beginning to bounce again so the overstimulation hits once more. you let his big, drooling cock drag and catch with each rough bounce. it makes that slick, wet sound every time you move.
"ah- ye-yeah, like it soooo much," he moans so loud it vibrates through your soaked panties, tries to say something, but you shove your panties harder into his face so you don't hear what shit he has to say. his cock pulses again and you can feel more warmth spill out of you, overflowing from the tip, dripping down to his balls in glooping heaps. "such a -shit- big fucking cock wasted on a nobody like ngh! you. y-you don't deserve it."
your voice cracks halfway through but you don't stop or pretend this is anything but using him like he's just a toy that happens to twitch and moan and cum without your permission. your hands are braced on his chest for balance, his skin hot and slick under your palms from how hard he's sweating, poor thing.
you push the underwear just enough to see his eyes, which are teary and rolled back. his eyes clamp shut when you drop down especially hard, and his whole body jerks like he's seizing. his stomach tightens under your hands but the second you grind down again deep, slow and mean, he lets out a strangled sob into your panties, soaked through with spit and the sharp scent of your cunt.
"mmnh, fuck, look at you," you breathe out, "you're crying, sweetheart. is it too much?" you coo mockingly, dragging your hips up until just his swollen tip is nestled at the edge of your cunt, nearly pulling out. the area where his cockhead enters you is smeared in cum and slick. he scrabbles at your arms, needing to be back inside you. then, without warning, you slam back down, clamping hard on him.
he screams behind the fabric. legs kicking. you begin grinding down hard as punishment until you feel another twitch inside you, his cock thickening, spurting another weak, creamy load. his fifth? sixth? doesn't matter.
hear me out… clark with his alien anatomy and going into his rut… finally satisfied with how full his partner is (stomach probably bulging) pulls out but then his cum starts leaking out :( so obviously he has to plug her back up again
he's panting—gasping for air. finally, you're full enough. his skin stopped buzzing and he's feeling somewhat normal again!
"f-finally– you're finally full, sweetie.." he's huffing those words out, his grip tightening around your shoulders that he was holding for leverage. he doesn't even need to use his x-ray vision to see how full you were, he can feel it. he can practically hear it, too.
so it's with a content smile that clark kent bites his lip and pulls out of you slowly, his stomach caving at the sensation of being slightly overatimulated, thanks to his buds rubbing against your slick walls.
he leans in and kisses you right when his tip kisses your entrance goodbye for what you thought was the last time. "you did so well, baby... such a good, good girl, aren't cha?" he cooes before licking a stripe up your swollen lips as you offer him a woozy smile, mind still hazy from the intense breeding.
but right as he was about to get up and take you to the bathroom, he heard it.
he heard your walls push something out of your cunt.
when he looked down–
horror.
his cum was leaking out of you slowly but evenly, small globes of semen dripping down your ass and onto the couch. his eyes seemed dull for a moment, and you thought it was just him using his super abilities, as per usual.
but, no.
he was simply letting the sensations—the buzzing, the heat, the craving—sink back in.
"oh." he simply let out, and your head fell to the side. "what's wron- a–ah! c-clark!" you barely had the time to question him before he used his thick fingers to scoop some it back up and plunge it all into your core. "it's leaking." and he seems so nonchalant about it, almost disappointed.
finally, his gaze bored back into yours, and you shivered at his next words.

Geralt was used to being called 'wolf' or 'white wolf'. It was a nickname he'd had for most of his life and was constantly used by Vesemir and the other witchers. He never thought much about it, just like his own name, he had it so internalized that he automatically responded when someone called him by those nicknames.
That changed, however, when you came into his life. There was something in the way you pronounced those words that awakened a primal feeling in him. It was in the way you looked at him, eyes defiant and playful, waiting to spark a reaction from him. It was in the way your lips moved, always ending in a mischievous smile, and in the sound of your voice, sweet and seductive, inducing him to madness, pushing him to his limit.
Everything about you awakened in him an urge to possess you, to mark you as his so that everyone who saw you would know you belonged to him. He had to make an effort to stop his needy hands to caress your skin, and contain the desperation of his lips to kiss your neck and mark it with his teeth. He didn't care if there were people around him, they all ceased to exist when you called him wolf.
It didn't help his situation that you always played dumb, pretending not to understand the power you had over him. But Geralt knew it was all an act. He knew that you were well aware of the effect that the utterance of that nickname had on him. And you used it as a weapon, a way to get a response from him when you wanted to play. And today you were in a very playful mood.
"What is it? Is the wolf scared of losing?" you teased him, trying to persuade him to take the bet. It was a simple race through the woods, just get from point A to point B as fast as possible to win. Only you had no intention of winning. All you were looking for was the thrill of the chase.
Geralt gave you an unamused look, taking a deep breath to calm the revolt that your use of that nickname had awakened in him. But then, he sensed your perfume in the air, mixed with the intoxicating scent of your arousal. His look completely transformed, frown relaxing into a firm, intimidating expression. The game was on.
"Oh you don't want to play that game, bunny." He warned you, giving you one last chance to change your mind. Once the race started, he wasn't sure he would be able to stop. He could already feel his insides vibrating with anticipation, the chained wolf fighting to break free. He had been locked up for too long, his needs ignored and repressed, so when he let go there would be no turning back. He was hungry and you were offering yourself to him without hesitation. How could he refuse?
You approached him, taking the sword he was sharpening out of his hand and bending down so you could look him in the eye. Your movements were slow, sensual, captivating your lover's gaze. Geralt's eyes got lost in your cleavage for a moment, admiring the exposed skin of your neck and the valley of your breasts as he suddenly began to salivate with need. His pupils widened, staring at you with yellow eyes turned almost completely black with desire. He could barely contain himself and that only increased your arousal.
"I'm not afraid of you." you said, and Geralt held back the urge to tell you that you should be. "Are you, wolf?"
He stood up and suddenly his imposing figure towered over yours, forcing you to tilt your head up so you could look at him. He was so much bigger than you, so much more agile, that it was ridiculous to even imagine you could beat him in a race. But, again, that's not what the game was about.
Geralt leaned in towards you, his lips brushing your ear, his warm breath tickling your skin. "When you lose and you're on the ground begging for mercy, I just want you to remember that you asked for this." he whispered, defiantly, sending a shiver down your spine.
He looked at you and you knew it was time to run. He gave you a head start, knowing he could catch you without even trying —not only because he was faster than you, but also because you had no real intention of winning that bet. He watched you run through the trees, admiring the way your hair moved in the wind. Only when you disappeared over the horizon did he start to move. He walked at a slow pace at first, sharpening his hearing to follow the sound of your footsteps. But when he caught the scent of your arousal, he couldn't help but pick up his pace. It was like a drug to him, an intoxicating scent that messed with the hormones of the big, bad wolf he had set free.
Geralt let the scent of your floral perfume mixed with the sweet nectar hidden between your legs guide him towards you, an invisible force drawing him closer and closer to his prey. When he reached you, he found you hiding behind a tree, taking advantage of the moment to catch your breath. He heard you gasp as soon as you sensed his presence, holding your breath to avoid making your position known. Geralt smiled to himself, finding your small efforts to remain hidden adorable.
"You can't hide from me, bunny." He spoke, approaching you slowly. "I can hear the sound of your quickened breathing from miles away... smell the scent of your arousal... you want this, so why don't you come out and get this over with."
Geralt was offering you a truce, a chance for things not to escalate any further than they already had. Any sane person in your place would have taken it, it was the reasonable thing to do after taunting the wolf like that. But you were not just anyone. You wanted to face the consequences of your actions. You wanted to face the white wolf that Geralt tried so hard to keep in line. You wanted him to do whatever he wanted with you, that was the point of the game in the first place.
You came out of hiding with your hands up in a feigned sign of surrender. Geralt walked a few steps towards you, eyeing you with suspicion. You held his gaze, trying to hide your true intentions. But in the end the smile on your lips betrayed you, letting him know that you didn't plan to give up easily before you had a chance to run.
You barely made it a couple of steps before you felt the warmth of his body against yours, his arms wrapped tightly around you to keep you from escaping. You squirmed in his grip, trying to free your arms from his strong hold, but it was pointless. Geralt was much bigger and stronger than you, so you weren't going anywhere if he didn't want you to. He pressed you against him, pinning your back to his chest as his hands intertwined over your stomach, effectively imprisoning you against his body. You felt his nose against your neck, sniffing your scent with animalistic desperation. It made you tremble, eyes rolling to the back of your head as your heart pounded with anticipation. You pressed the curve of your ass against the bulge growing in his pants in response and you felt Geralt’s chest vibrate with a repressed moan.
"I got you." he growled against your skin before sinking his teeth into the sensitive area of your neck. "You're mine, bunny. Mine."
"I'm yours," you moaned, relaxing into his arms, tilting your head more so he could have better access to your neck. You wanted him to mark you. You wanted him to claim you as his own. "Please, take me." you begged. It was an airy whisper, but Geralt heard it with perfect clarity. And your consent was all he needed.
In a matter of seconds, your back was pressed against the grass as Geralt hovered over you. His hands were all over your body, lifting your skirt and unbuttoning the ties of your top to expose your breasts. His lips kissed every inch of exposed skin, but there was nothing romantic or sensual about it. It was rough, desperate, Geralt sucked your skin with the intention of leaving marks, sinking his teeth into your flesh as he growled that you belonged to him. It was too much and yet not enough. The pleasure coursing through your body was almost unbearable, but you needed more, you needed to feel all of him.
"You knew exactly what you were doing... calling me that name, making me chase you around." Geralt inserted a finger inside you without warning, earning a moan from you. You were so aroused, so desperate for his touch, that he had no trouble at all pushing deep into your core, moving his digit with ease and reaching up to brush against that sensitive part inside you that turned you into a moaning mess. "This is what you wanted, didn't you bunny? You wanted your big, bad wolf to chase you around and pin you down right in the middle of the woods, huh?"
"Y-yes, f-fuck." you managed to blurt out between moans and quickened breaths. Geralt inserted a second finger inside you and the air got stuck in your throat as the pleasure overwhelmed you. He increased the pace of his movements, showing you no mercy as his fingers moved in and out of you in desperate, almost aggressive movements. You could feel the knot in your stomach tightening, ready to snap at any moment.
"You awakened the wolf on purpose. This is exactly what you wanted, didn't you?" he growled in your ear, playfully biting your ear lobe. You could only reply with an incoherent moan, closing your eyes to focus on the pleasure coursing through your body. But that wasn't enough for him, Geralt wanted to hear you say it. "Answer me!" he demanded and you were forced to open your eyes just by the authority in his voice.
"Yes! I-I wanted this, I-I wanted the wolf to fuck me. Please..." Geralt smiled showing his teeth and you couldn't help but think how much he resembled a real wolf when he looked at you like that. His lips were slightly swollen and covered with saliva after working on marking your skin, his pupils blown wide with arousal. He was looking at you like a wolf looked at its prey, desperate to jump at you and devour his meal.
"Beg for it." He said through gritted teeth. He removed his fingers from inside you, leaving you empty and unsatisfied. It took your pleasure-clouded mind a few seconds to process his words, too focused on the high you'd lost to let out anything more than whimpers of frustration. But that was exactly what Geralt wanted. He wanted to see you completely desperate, surrendered under his body, begging for his touch.
"Please, wolf, I need you... I need to feel you inside me, please." You begged him, looking up at him through your eyelashes. He took his fingers covered with your sweet nectar into his mouth, sucking them clean as he moaned around them. It was the hottest image you had ever seen. He was so focused on the taste of your arousal touching his tongue that for a moment you feared he might not be able to hear your pleas for attention.
“I’m yours to take… please, wolf. I need you.”
The pathetic desperation in your voice was enough for Geralt. He wasted no time, freeing his cock from its confinement and thrusting it into you in one swift movement that left you breathless. He was big and even though your arousal was seeping down your thighs, it always took you a moment to get used to the way he stretched you. He showed you some mercy, giving you a few seconds to adjust while he enjoyed the way your walls closed around his cock. Nothing compared to the warm feeling of your walls wrapped around his cock, pulling him inside you, inviting him to stay. It was the closest he had ever been to heaven, if there was such a thing.
Geralt let out a grunt as you began to move your hips against him, urging him to move. He placed his hands on either side of your head, effectively imprisoning you under his large, imposing figure. Then he gave you a sloppy, wet kiss, biting your lower lip before moving closer to your ear. "Just remember you asked for this." He whispered, sealing your fate.
The rhythm he set was fast and rough, his hips moving against yours desperately. The sheer force of his thrusts was such that you had to cling to his body to keep from sliding upward each time he entered you. It hurt a little, but in the most delicious way. He hit that special place inside you with every thrust of his hips, turning you into an incoherent moaning mess that could do nothing but dig your nails into his back in a desperate attempt to keep you grounded. Pure pleasure coursed through your veins as you felt Geralt pressing deep inside you, filling you and claiming you as his. Your sweat covered skin was on fire, only finding relief when the witcher's cold medallion that dangled over your face made contact with your body.
"Scream! I want to hear you, bunny. I want to know how good I'm making you feel." Geralt demanded and your body instantly obeyed, as if he was the true owner of your mind. "That's it, don't hold back. No one is going to find us here, you can scream all you want. It's just me and you."
The forest filled with your moans and Geralt's animalistic grunts. He couldn't contain himself, seeing you underneath him with your tangled hair full of dry leaves and your watery eyes full of pleasure was too much for him. He couldn't stop the fast rhythm of his hips even if he wanted to. The wolf inside him wanted to ruin you completely, to mark you as his and make sure you were never satisfied with any other man but him. You belonged to him, now and forever.
"You wanted this, you craved it... my little bunny, desperate to get fucked like a bitch in heat." He growled against the skin of your neck, sinking his teeth into the sensitive area below your ear.
"Yes! F-fuck, please... I'm so close." You begged him, feeling the familiar tingle spreading in your stomach as your toes curled. His fingers traveled to the little bundle of nerves pulsing between your legs, stroking it with rapid circular motions that increased your level of desperation. You were so close to your relief it was almost painful, but you wanted to wait, to hold back your pleasure so you could explode alongside Geralt.
"You want me to fill you up, mark you as mine, huh? Breed you with my pups so everyone knows you're mine?" It was an empty promise and you both knew it. Geralt was sterile and no matter how much he wanted to, he could not father a child. But that didn't make his words any less arousing. The idea of being his and having his child growing in your belly to prove it was so enticing that you couldn't help but entwine your legs around his waist as a way to make sure he didn't slip out from inside you.
"Yes, please! I'm yours, I always will be and I want everyone to know!"
"That's right, you are. And I'm yours." Geralt grunted, leaning his forehead against yours to look you in the eye as he quickened his movements, his thrusts becoming more erratic as he chased the sweet relief. "Can you feel how deep inside you I am?" He took your hand and pressed it against your lower belly, where you could feel the bulge of his cock moving inside you. "I'm going to shoot my seed so deep into you, you'll carry it inside you until your belly starts to swell up with my pups inside it. Is that what you want?"
"Yes! Please, give it to me, wolf! I need to feel you, please." You begged with your last breath, almost bursting into tears from the intensity of the pleasure you felt.
Two more thrusts were all it took for Geralt to push you over the edge. You came with a cry of his name, nails digging into the sweaty skin of his back as your warm walls tightened around his cock, forcing him to stay inside you. That was enough to trigger his own relief, his cock twitching inside you as he shot his load deep inside your cunt, painting your walls with pearly white ropes of cum. And yet, he continued to thrust inside you, making your body shake from the overstimulation. He wanted to make sure his seed stayed inside you. He wanted to be able to smell the mix of his relief and yours on you for the rest of the day.
When he finally pulled away you groaned, feeling empty. Geralt let out an airy chuckle as he dropped down next to you, struggling to catch his breath. He pulled you close to him, wrapping his arms around you and resting your head on his chest. Even after all that, he still needed to hold you close, to feel the warmth of your body against his.
You stayed like that until your breathing returned to normal, reveling in each other's closeness. You were so relaxed in his arms that you might well have fallen asleep if not for Geralt breaking the peaceful silence by clearing his throat.
"We should head back." he murmured, his fingers tracing imaginary lines on the exposed skin of your arm.
"I would if I could move." You joked as you began to feel the pain in your tired muscles. You didn't regret anything, though.
"I'm sorry."
You lifted your head from his chest to look at him, giving him a smile to ease the guilt he might be feeling for hurting you. "Don't be, you did exactly what I wanted you to do." You reached up to kiss him and he gladly reciprocated, cupping your cheek with his free hand so he could deepen the kiss.
However, he pulled away faster than you expected. You whined again, but he ignored you, getting up from the floor and shaking the dirt off his clothes. "It's getting late, we need to go." He said and you huffed. You weren't ready to move yet.
"Geraaalt" you complained, pouting. He looked down at you, ready to scold you, but was distracted by the sight of his artwork in all its glory. Your sweat-covered skin glowed under the afternoon light, highlighting your beauty. Your body was covered in his teeth marks and a trail of reddened hickeys trailed from your neck to your breasts and disappeared under the fabric of your dress. You carried his scent on your body, his seed inside you and his teeth marks on your skin. That alone was enough to awaken the wolf inside him once again, though he held back.
"You look beautiful." He said, kneeling beside you to help you knot the ties in the front of your dress, hiding your breasts and the marks he had made behind the fabric.
The softness in Geralt's eyes was such that you felt the need to hide your face, feeling embarrassed and somehow more exposed than when you were having sex. However, he didn't give you time to react as he quickly pulled you into his arms and made his way back to the hut. You relaxed in his arms, wrapping your hands around the back of his neck and snuggling against his shoulder.
"I love you." you said in an almost inaudible whisper. It was as if you were speaking more to yourself than for Geralt to hear you. As if the words had escaped your lips as you were lost in thought.
But Geralt's hearing was exceptionally good. And he couldn't help but smile to himself as he heard those words.
by you and your warm pussy, engulfing his length so, so good and so, so deep. his thrusts were erratic, he could barely focus. there was no consistent rhythm, no thought out dirty talk—it was just clark thinking with his dick.
you would call it pussy-drunk, but he'd argue that it was completely beyond that point. he doesn't know why, but tonight, everything just feels more intense, more vivid, more clear... just, more.
even his buds were unusually twitchy. usually, they'd stay soft until it was time for them to hook onto you and allow him to cum as deep as possible, but today, they were sporadic.
they twitched, altered between hard and soft, and when they went hard, they'd hook onto you and slow him down, which is partially why his rhythm is off.
as for you, you're full of him. full of clark in every way—full of his cum, full of his dick, full of his scent, full of his praises... he was all over you, marking you and feeling you up. everything felt so intense, especially since you had been through a copious amount of orgasms. the over-sensitivity was killing you, but you craved and chased the pleasure he gave you. you loved the high.
his eyes are glassy and hyper-focused on where the two of you meet, bits of sentences spilling out of his mouth to form a bigger one. "f-fuh... i– oh my god, sweets you're so— hmmm, ahhh... it just... feels so– f-fuck..." and he doesn't even bother to think about not swearing, his brain too focused on fucking the brains out of you, and possibly out of him too.
"i- I... baby, I.. m'gonna–" he cut himself off with a gasp when he felt your walls clamp down on him, "m'cumming, m'cumming– cummingcummingcumming—-" he chanted like a mantra, as if announcing it would help him brace himself for the anticipated intensity of it.
it did not.
his eyes went wide, head thrown back as his back arched, hips bucking into you. the buds hardened again, hooking onto the ridges of your walls to shoot his load into you once more.
it wasn't a normal orgasm, the both of you knew it—him the most.
it felt too much, way too much, even for superman. clark gripped your hips as hard as he could without hurting you, arms shaking from restraint. scratch that, his entire body shook. "a-ah! baby, i–" his voice jumped from octave to octave at each word.
suddenly, you felt an even bigger heat from inside you, and when you looked down, your eyes widen.
light.
coming from inside you.
you could see it from the bulge that was obscenely decorating your belly, from underneath your skin.
clark's dick, as weird as it already was, is glowing from the intensity of his orgasm.
the sight made you moan even louder, also announcing your orgasm. "c-clark, i-im gonna–" but he couldn't hear. couldn't even think. if the walls around him shattered, he wouldn't even notice.
and that's what make you fall over the edge.
him basking in your sweetness, your warmth. the way his body yearned you, using up all of its kryptonian energy to fuck into you? yeah, you couldn't resist.
your eyes rolled back, muscles giving up on making themselves useful as all your body focused on was milking him for all he was worth, as if your pussy even needed to squeeze the cum out of him.
his panting became even louder when he saw it, the glowing. he felt a mix of emotions—fear and pleasure dominating. he didn't know how to react, and he swears he tried to pull away, but fuck, he just can't stop cumming.
and the way your cunt his hugging his length, pressing down on it repeatedly... he collapsed.
the glowing died down, and so did the orgasms. he fell on top of you, embracing you tightly as you were still catching your breath. his skin felt sticky with sweat and you inhaled, needy for more of his smell—more of him, truly.
"y-you didn't... you– w-when were you gonna tell me you could... do that?" you managed to heave out, chuckling a bit. "I didn't even... know I could..." he sighs, burying himself into your neck.
he pulled out, finally giving you an opportunity to really breath after being so full. but, truthfully, the absence of his cock did nothing to erase the feeling of being filled to the brim with how much he came, and he saw it. he saw the globes of cum drip out of you one by one, sliding down the valley of your ass.
he looked enchanted by the sight, going as far as pressing onto your pelvis to ease more out of you, making you whimper.
part 1 here :p cuz I promise if u don't read it you won't understand a THING
clark kent feels weird, today.
like, really weird.
this morning when he woke up, he felt like he was having a heat stroke. his skin was buzzing and uncharacteristically warm, but he just brushed it off thinking it was his kryptonian body acting up again.
well, he wasn't wrong.
at work, everything felt worse. he felt intensely disoriented, his head buzzing and spinning endlessly. he had trouble controlling his strength, accidentally shattering his coffee mug or even unwilling snapping his keyboard in half.
but everything got worse when he sensed you.
not saw, sensed.
it was unusual, truly. he spotted your body heat among others, could only focus on your voice, and damn, since when does your skirt hug your butt like that? he quickly shook his head to escape those nasty thoughts but, in vain. it was like his entire body—the codex itself—was forcing him to focus on you. every thought in his head were of you, you, you.
but that was before you interacted with him, before you even laid your eyes on him.
when you did, everything spiked.
as soon as he saw those pretty eyes bore into his, he felt the heat in his chest spread out throughout his entire body. he shifted uncomfortably because of the raging boner he had and licked his lips in what seemed to be dehydration.
and his mind recognized it, recognized you—the groove of your walk, the sound your thighs rubbing together with each step, the familiar beating of your heart, and if he listened close enough, he could even hear the sound of your pussy lips–
"hey, clark," you waved at him and he stopped breathing, clenching his jaw tightly to conceal the ungodly sound that was currently clawing at his lips, ready to escape.
you noticed something was wrong with your beloved, and set a hand on his chest. his usually rock solid skin felt softer and incredibly warmer. when you moved to the right, you could feel his larger heart beating atleast ten times faster than it usually would.
"what's wron..." you trailed off when he grabbed your hand—tightly—and gave you a crooked smile as his eyebrows bent and pinched together. "p-please, dear, go away b-before i–" another spark of heat, "j-just go." and with that, he let you go, disappearing into the men's bathroom and leaving you there, confused and concerned.
it was only hours later, in the evening, that you saw clark again.
you were simply getting up to reheat your food before something—someone—crashed through your living room wall, knocking you down with it.
a strong hand wrapped around your head before you could knock it on the ground and before you knew it, a very familiar pair of lips came locking onto yours, kissing you deeply into his palm.
he pulled away to give you a moment to breath as he dipped down into you neck, licking and sucking. "c-clark what has... what has gotten into you?" you barely manage to breath, the dust and smoke of the broken wall was making it hard to inhale (and see clark at all), aswell as the weight of his body on yours.
"i don't- I dunno, I..." he kept licking your skin like a dog, your taste giving him some kind of sexual gratification. "all day I've been... my body felt so... so freakin' warm and just– I felt like all I needed was you... I couldn't even focus on anything i kept..." he was curiously out of breath, like the effort of simply speaking to you while holding back the urge to fuck your brains out was too much for him.
"...I kept smelling you and- and hearing you... and– jesus, I just.. want you so bad, darlin'.." he licked his way back up to your lips, nibbling on your bottom one softly. "clark," you finally managed to say, the dust settling. "tell me what you need." your hair ran up his back and into his hair, scratching his scalp which nearly made his eyes roll back.
"you. I need you, c-can I have you? please?" and the way he's just asking makes you want to give him everything he could ever ask for.
so you do.
as soon as you let out a soft "yes," he became a totally different kryptonian.
and that's how you ended up with your back arching away from the dining table, shoulders pressed against the cold surface by clark himself to keep you from slipping away at each mean thrust of his hips.
it's been, what, 4 orgasms? neither of you knew and honestly, neither of you cared—matter of fact, you both stopped caring when he finished inside for the first time and it happened.
the hooks.
"i- I wanna..." he swallows sharply, "I wanna feel it again, d-dont you, sweet thing? i-it felt so good, right? right." the both of you nodded dumbly at eachother and he smiled, terrifyingly so.
clark kent looked feral. his eyes were as hectic as his hands, moving everywhere. he wanted to see you, to feel you, to give in to you. he was inside you and yet he wanted more. he wanted you to be his—more than you already were.
"stuffin' you full so that- oh, god, yes— so that you can carry my kids... so that everyone will know you're– m-mine... mine, mine." he squeezed your breast, his gaze zeroing onto the oddly shaped (thanks to his buds) bulge on your stomach before his hand followed, caressing his cock through your skin and twitching every time the buds were stimulated.
it felt perfect, truly. he felt like you were made for him. the gummy texture of your walls fit perfectly with his buds as each of them grazed the crevices of your rugae every time his hips bumped into yours.
"c-clark, I don't... I'm gonna— i- i cant-" he presses down onto the bulge which makes you scream, "y-yes you can, baby, please- one more, just one more- i– please, sweetie, gosh, I love you so much!" his speech quickly became incoherent—a sign of his impending orgasm.
another tell-tale sign is, of course, the hardening of his buds. they were so strong that they halted his movement, burying him deep inside you while hooking onto your ridges. "o-oh my god–" you gasped, feeling the vein on his cock rubbing against your g-spot. "t-too much– I'm- I'm too full, clark!" and he shakes his head, chuckling lowly.
"n-no you're not baby! i-i can see it! you still... you can still handle more..." he starts to look more and more pained with each word, his body aching for release. "p-please.. pleasepleaseplease–- take it, baby, take it... please, it hurts... y-you're gonna be good f'me right? gonna be good and take it?" fuck, it was intoxicating. everything was. his speech, his smell, the feeling of his alien dick literally hooking inside you to cum deep in your womb...
"please..." was all you could mutter, but he understood. his body understood.
his release was cataclysmic. the buds settled slightly deeper into your crevices, allowing him to shoot into you with bullseye precision. "h-holy– oh my‐" he couldn't even speak. his breath came out in short pants and he looked up, as if begging some higher being to release him from this seemingly everlasting ache.
upon feeling his warm cum painting your insides, and hearing him mumble "g'nna make you a mommy... you're gonna look s-so pretty with my– hhnnng... my kid inside y-youu...", you orgasmed aswell. you walls clenched and rubbed against the now soft buds on his dick, pressing down onto his shaft which has his stomach clenching and caving, almost folding the kryptonian in half.
in the midst of it all, you swear you saw his eyes glow red for a moment, but he quickly blinked that away. his eyes flickered back to your face, and then back to you pelvis, before he threw his head back again with a groan.
"y-you're... shoot.." he's barely catching his breath, "you're not... full enough.." and he resumes his thrusting which makes you give up on looking at him, eyes lazily rolling back.
your entire body relaxed and went limp, allowing him to use you as he pleased.
"wanna make you a mommy... and you're not full enough."

You don't expect Clark to kiss the way he does.
He's gentle with it. Following your rhythm, taking slow breaths, letting you take the lead & show him what you felt comfortable with. Clark is painfully aware of how much stronger he is compared to you. So he doesn't force his tongue into your mouth, he lets you roll it in when you initiate it, meeting you half way before he gently tangles your tongue with his.
It's good like that for a while. You like he way he kisses, he's patient. He listens. God knows you love how his hands wanders, squeezing where it'd make you jolt. You love the way he'd adjust himself impossibly close, grinding, stroking your thigh while he takes his time with you — or how he lolls his head to the side, trying to kiss you deeper. You'd always notice how he'd pull away when it got too intense, opting to mouth at your jaw, down to the column of your throat.
Clark kisses you because he wants you to feel good. And it drives you crazy. Not because you were happy about it, but because you'd always felt that he was holding back.
You decide to test your theory.
It's like every other night, you're straddled over his lap, legs on the other side of him. His hands are on your hips, more as a placeholder. Because you're in control. You're holding his jaw with both your palms, pressing your weight onto him while your lips are notched with his. You feel him twitch beneath you when your tongue slides into his mouth. His hand wanders up your back, the other, rested around your hips. It takes a few more licks that you feel him attempt to pull back. But you hold him tight. Biting on his lower lips, enough for it to sting. You feel him groan in your mouth, a slight tremble on his fingers. But nothing more.
You're fully feeling his hard cock poke your ass through his slacks, and you take the opportunity to grind down on him. Your saliva is coated around his mouth, and his yours. It's not until you suck on his tongue that he fully pulls away from you with force. Pupils dilated, panting. It's clear, that you've flicked a switch in him.
He doesn't tear his lips away from you after that. Not even when he's turned you over onto the couch, your belly rested on a embroidered cushion. His lips are on you. Sloppy, chasing kissing at the corners of your lips. It's wet and sticky the way your mouth connects, evident by the string of saliva that follows when they part. Clark has your jaw held up with his palm, while he bullies his thick cock into your weeping cunt.
He'd swallow all your moans, letting you drool around his fingers when he's nosing the nape of your neck. When he spits in your mouth, testing, you fucking smile. He physically feels his brain circuit when you stick your tongue out for him in a half broken smile, wanting & waiting. Looking at him cheeky and sweet. Clark holds back flooding your pussy with his cum right then. So he opts to suck on your tongue, lips, jaw all while he fucks you into the couch.
His lips only part from yours when they're licking into the shell of your ear, breathing heavy and desperate. "Mm-fffuck..fuck. Can I cum in you? Shit. Please. Let me cum in you."

PART ONE | PART TWO | PART THREE | PART FOUR | PART FIVE
clark kent had only ever dreamt of days where he'd meet his match.
he'd accepted that he was physiologically different that the humans that he kept company with. and that meant compromising. which was a multitude of things. he could only every use one percent of his actual strength in his daily tasks for starters — taking a boatload of mental fortitude to contain himself.
that applied to his sex life. an act he indulged in often.
maybe it was written in his DNA, or maybe having a significantly larger body to muscle mass meant your sex drive left you unbelievably insatiable. he couldn't tell. there wasn't much of a reference point he could compare to.
even then, it was…unfulfilling.
the women he fucked weren't to blame for it. truly. he'd learned after a couple of partners that his cock was disconcertingly massive in 'human' standards. to quote the most recent, he had a 'monster cock.' something he took literal offence to initially, but later learned that was a generic term for far exceeding 9 inches. and that meant only ever being able to fuck barely halfway in before most of them tapped out.
it was okay. he was okay with it. being superman had perks, doing good, keeping people safe. being sexually fulfilled wasn't on the forefront of his mind at all. but that didn't mean he couldn't dream of meeting someone who could keep up with him.
and that was why, clark kent was obsessed with you from the second you threw the first punch to his jaw.
"are you — … are you freakin' smiling?"
you had your knee pinned to his pulse point, knuckles flexed with clark's dried blood. other hand squishing his jaw when his smile tenses against your thumb. bloodied pearly whites peeking through. that wasn't the expression you expected from a man who was panting, bruised, and bleeding from cuts on his lips and nose.
"it hurts," he manages through a laughter of amusement, "like, actually hurts." your brows raise quizzically. it was a no shit sort of moment, because well, you'd swung at his face. repeatedly. but the crooked smile he was giving you, made your cunt clench.
"okay. i do not have time to figure out what bullshit you're on. stay out of my goddamn way, superman."
he doesn't chase you when you'd gotten up, free-falling off the museum's building, thumb drive in hand.
after that, getting rid of him was near impossible. he was everywhere you were, disrupting your plans. and for some absurd reason — taking hit after hit, as if testing how much you could deal, and how much he could endure.
the next time you see him, he's skulking in your apartment, rotating a relic that didn't seem like it was from this earth.
"do you have a death wish?"
clark doesn't turn when he hears you approach him, tossing the armored headpiece up and down in his palms. "you're hera," he muses, eyes glinting when your footsteps cease where you stop short of him. the mention of your past alter-ego, sends a dreadful chill down your spine. his gaze drags over your civilian state, formal, a lanyard around your neck, pencil skirt, and a thin black rectangular framed glasses.
you snatch the item from him. dusting it off before putting it back in its' place. "i don't go by that anymore."
clark stumbles backward when you shoulder past him. you don't wait before you swipe him clean off his legs, the cement floors crackling beneath his fall. "i'm giving you about twenty seconds to get out before i fuck you up, supershit."
clark reacts to that nickname instantaneously, pointing at you accusatory. "do not —" he grumbles. shaking his head before pulling himself up to his feet. you weren't paying attention to him, wrist twisted to look at the second hand tick on your watch.
"look. miss hera, i'm here to talk —"
"times up."
the force that sends him crashing into your bookshelf cracks the walls of your converted loft. you sigh, unwinding your wrist from hitting that brick wall-like chest. he doesn't want to attack you, and you see it in the way he's standing up, not getting into a defensive stance.
clark raises his palms to surrender. "please, i'm really not here to turn you in." you listen to him for a second, but you wind up to throw another. this time, he catches your fists, a crackle heard before he twists you around, pressing your fist to your back. "would you listen?"
you swallow thickly, his voice blooming a warmth in you.
he grunts at you headbutting him, and you take the moment to loop your arm around his, throwing him in the direction of your television console.
you briefly hear him mutter a quick 'oh geez that one hurt' in a tired boyish tone. clark looks up to the figure already charging at him. he catches you by your hips when you pounce on him, legs locked around his chest. "ow, ow, ow — i'm serious! just let me talk!"
you huff, holding him in a tight headlock where you were straddled. in the split second you hesitate, he blindly grabs around your back, holding you by the scruff of your neck before slamming you down like he was getting a feral cat off of him.
"that does it." gritting through your teeth, your heels meet the base of his jaw, and it cracks beneath the weight behind the kick. clark whines out loudly, stumbling back. his senses are attuned now, your head whips to the side when he strikes you for real, the glasses you had on flying right off.
"i really don't want to hurt you. " he pants, wiping the blood off his lips with the back of his hand. you attempt to knee him, but he catches you, the whiplash of him grabbing you by your throat has your hand grasping around his wrists.
his cape flutters when clark catapults onto the other side. you let out a yelp when your back slams into the paintings behind you.
he's close now, your chest heaving hard enough to graze his.
you spit out the blood that collects in your mouth, sizing him with a deadly look, "as if you can."
clark looks at you intently, gaze flicking to the smear of scarlet on your lips. his jaw tightens, trying to figure out how he could get you to listen to him.
and then — he licks a stripe over your sliced bottom lip.
your whimper ghosts his jaw, and clark holds you still in place by the neck. large hands spanning your entire throat. your eyes dart to his, flitting left and right. his thumbs shift, just slightly, your pulse slowing beneath.
"you done?" he's close enough that you can feel the hum in his voice. your eye twitches at the smug tone.
"the nerve you've got…" you mutter, your own tongue catching your lower lips. he tenses at the sight of you licking over the glossiness he left.
the thrum in your chest is palpable. he feels it, and doesn't let go. the adrenaline of both the pain and closeness turning into something much more twisted.
"you're strong." clark leans close and you tip your head to the side to avoid him. he takes the opportunity to drag his nose down your neck. "as strong as i am." your breath stutters, thighs thrashing helplessly next to his hips.
"so?" you feel him sigh into your collar bone, his forehead rested on the shifted painting behind you.
"so…you can take it. take…me."
your brows furrow at that, but the answer comes in the form of the monstrosity pressed up against your abdomen, that was twitching. "is…is that what this is about? you needed a super-powered criminal fuck buddy?" the deliriousness in your tone is evident, and it seems to embarrasses him.
"this isn't ideal," he snaps in a hushed whisper. pulling back enough to turn your jaw to face him. "i know you want it too. i can…i can feel your heart rate picking up." he points out.
his face is laughably apologetic considering the span of events so far. "well, it's a given with you humping me."
clark's jaw flexes, "gosh you — the mouth on you." he sputters, the grip around your neck tightening a fraction. "you're so damn crass. this is ridiculous. what am i doing?"
you laugh in his face, and he perks up, staring blankly at just how pretty you looked when you smiled. "are you joking? you have your dick pressed onto me and you're questioning my language?"
clark winces, hips bucking into you when you point out the irony in the situation. "don't…talk like that," he's trying not to acknowledge the fact that he was quickly hardening, but your entire presence was a catalyst. "talk like what?"
he's almost certain you're being obtuse on purpose, but in the off-chance you weren't, "saying stuff like dick, and…humping so brazenly."
a smile curls at the corner of your lips, and your hand drops, two of your fingers spreading apart to trace over the outline of his bulge.
"o-oh geez," he gasps, followed by a breathless "give-me-a-goddamn-warning."
the hold on your throat loosens. so you grab around his cock firmly, thumbing where his tip would be. "you're here to fuck me, right? so act like it."
clark looks to you, brows pressed into a knit. his arm snakes around your hip, "…very well, then."
you gasp at the shift in positions, where he now had you pinned on your unmade bed.
his hand curls around your wrist, slipping them underneath his suit bottom. clark jumps when your softer hands grip his bare length, it surprises you "oh."
"i-it's…not exactly small," he grits, panting into the side of your head when you stroke him with his guidance.
"no kidding. you're hung, big blue."
clark grunts at that, breaths turning heavier the more you're dry rubbing his cock.
"like that. yeah... that's good."
you hum, lifting your hips to accommodate his bigger frame while he tugs his suit off. the impressive size of him comes to your view, and you let out a stuttered breath. your pussy clench almost as a pre-warning.
he drags your skirt up, bunching it at your hips. "g..osh.." he mutters, looking up to see that you've unbuttoned yourself enough to reveal the curvature of your tits beneath a lacy blue bra.
"like that we're matching?"
clark huffs out a strained laughter, head dropping lower. "that's not funny."
the smirk on you turns to a gasp when he drags his thumb over your panties, wetness slowly blooming where your slit would be. your hips tilt to his touch, and he hooks his thumb around the edge of the fabric, letting his finger dip into you just enough.
you moan brokenly, looking down at the erotic sight before you.
his body was definitely as formidable as his cock, biceps visibly flexing at your ministrations. "the point…of this is so you can do what you want. right? just stick it in then."
the tremble in your voice gives away your nervousness.
clark rolls his shoulder, pushing a finger into your cunt, sounding unintentionally smug, "to fuck you…without tearing you. i need you to take at least four fingers."
you clench, on instinct, when he says that. it seems to draw a cocky smile from him.
you aren't sure how long had passed.
somewhere between your second and third orgasm, you lost track of time. clark had his mouth latched around your breast, plunging his fingers deep into you, relentlessly pulling whimpers out of you.
"enough — fuck." you claw at his back, slick with sweat sticking to your cheeks. "just do it already." clark's still diligently stretching you out, marvelling at how your pussy accommodates his digits.
"okay, okay…"
you feel the loss of him all at once and with a flutter, his thighs pushes yours further apart where they were hoisted beneath your thighs. clark angles his thick tip at your entrance.
"take a deep breath for me" he whispers, easing himself into you while thumbing at your clit. the reaction was immediate, you squeeze around him, hips already attempting to squirm away.
clark holds you down, feeding you his cock inch by inch and all you can do is brace yourself. "you feel — so.." he groans out, lips pressed at the corner of your parted ones. you're letting out choked, heavy breaths into his mouth, rendered mute, "so soft, a-and wet."
you're teary, blinking through the blur that prickle the corner of your eyes. he feels your it wet his cheek, and he pulls back, like he'd been burnt.
"sorry, i'm sorry." his hip still. and somehow, the sting grows even more painful when he isn't moving. "are you okay? should i stop?"
your nails dig into clark's arms, dragging them down his bicep, leaving angry red marks behind. he doesn't expect it, when you grab around his neck, flipping him beneath you. you steady yourself on his chest and fully sheath yourself. the two of you groaning out in unison.
"fuck. oh fuck." clark gasps when your hips lift, and snap back down. he grabs around your thighs, stabilising you as you bounce on his cock.
"god, oh my god, it's like, you're in my…throat.." you're whimpering into his mouth, body falling limp after your brave showing of just having him fully in you.
clark holds you up your jaw, drowning your moans in his mouth. his other hand slides down your ass, parting them with a finger, hold firmly around the fat. he takes takes charge to thrust up into you, deep.
"mm—ff..i-i know. it's a lot." he's blabbering in your lips, securing his hold, feeling your tight hole clenching when fingers spanning enough to graze past it, the tip of his finger rubbing where his cock meets your pussy.
it's too much, and clark knows. "y..ou're doing so g-good."
your breath stutters in his mouth, drooling into him helplessly. fuelled by the praise he gives. "so goddamn good." your cheeks presses onto his, panting when the white hot flashes take you to what's now your fourth orgasm.
it comes with no warning. he jolts once, heaving, thick spurts of his cum shooting deep into you. never-ending, seemingly. clark turns you over in a fluid motion, cock still pulsing into you with deep spurts. he presses his hand flat onto your abdomen, where the outline of him pokes at your belly.
he's in awe, fully in the depths of a newfound pleasure. a heavy palm swiping the sweaty strands of your cheeks.
clark readjusts his hold on you, a finger tearing your blouse fully apart. you jolt when the buttons clatter to the ground. you gasp out when he presses deeper into you. his palm cradling your jaw.
"wait...what are you…—" he tuts, pressing a kiss on your parted lips.

It starts with a spill.
Which—of course it does. It’s not dramatic. Not really the kind of spill that gets you a lawsuit or hazard pay. It’s just enough of one to be inconvenient. A dribble of some lukewarm latte that one of your coworkers left behind (Probably Ricky, that fucking asshole) down the side of your wrist that makes your already-caffeine-slicked skin feel somehow both sticky and itchy.
The sleeve of your Planet Roast sweatshirt is getting sacrificed to mop it up because (a) the napkin holder is jammed and (b) your manager still hasn’t fixed the bar towels situation, even though you’ve asked twice. Politely.
(Okay. Once politely. Once via a passive-aggressive note that ended with a poorly drawn crying espresso bean. Still counts.)
It’s 10:37 AM, and you’re officially in the danger window.
The Daily Planet’s early risers have mostly finished their first or second cups, and the lunchtime rush hasn’t started yet, but there’s always a trickle of stragglers. The ones who survive on iced Americanos and sheer willpower, who come downstairs from their fluorescent cubes in varying states of business casual panic. Some are trying to look busy. Some are trying to look mysterious. Some, cough—Steve Lombard—cough, are actually just hungover.
And then there’s him.
Clark Kent.
You’re not sure when exactly he started coming down to the cafe, but you are sure that he doesn’t belong here. Not in a snobby way, more in a—you are clearly from a much, much better plane of existence than all of these other assholes kind of way. You’re used to people who don’t make eye contact, who steal way too much Splenda and leave their phones on speaker, who mumble their orders while reading off an open Google Doc. Clark’s different.
He holds doors open. Says thank you like it’s a full sentence. He apologizes when he’s the one getting bumped into.
And, crucially, he smiles at the espresso machine. As opposed to you.
Today, it’s a soft “hi,” with a sheepish little wave that he directs mostly at the pastry display like he’s embarrassed to look you in the eye. His cheeks are a little pink from the cold, his tie’s crooked, and he’s got one of those laminated intern badges that all the real reporters pretend not to need.
But no, this guy? He wears his badge everywhere. Like it’s some sort of a security blanket. Or he’s worried someone will think he’s lying about working here.
“Morning,” he says, but his voice sounds like it might not be. Like he needs to double-check the time.
“Morning,” you echo, grabbing a clean cup and only half-listening because you’re wondering if you should give him a pastry on the house just to see if he’d implode. “Let me guess. Medium drip. Black. Room for... guilt.”
That gets a startled laugh. Loud, loud enough to make the woman still waiting for her Hawkgirl Dulce De Leche Frappe monstrosity startle. He adjusts his glasses. Fiddles with his watch, which you suspect might actually just be a glorified calculator. Would have to guess so, since he's always running perpetually behind. “No guilt,” he says. “Just... maybe sincerity.”
“Oh,” you say, eyes wide. “Even worse.”
And for a second, just a blink, he looks flustered. Not in the way the regulars do when they forget their punch card or order a mocha and realize they meant matcha. It’s different. It’s like he wasn’t expecting to be teased. Or wasn’t sure he deserved to be.
“Well… uh… I like your pin,” he says abruptly, nodding to the enamel one stuck to your apron strap. It’s a tiny frog wearing a barista apron and holding a steaming cup that says “RIBBIT AND RIP IT.”
You arch a brow. “Do you?”
He hesitates. “Yes?”
“You sound unsure.”
“Well, I—I meant it. It’s cute. Like it has, uh. Frogtitude.”
“Oh no,” you say gravely. “You can’t just make up frog puns and expect me not to retaliate.”
Clark stammers. Stammers. “I—I wasn’t trying to—”
You’re already scribbling on his cup. Big loopy marker letters, all caps: “FROGTITUDE™️” under his name. Then, after a beat, you add a cartoon frog with glasses. The resemblance is... vague and not really all there, but it's charming, if you do say so yourself.
He watches this entire process with what can only be described as quiet horror and admiration. You pass him the cup like a peace offering.
“I like your tie,” you say casually. “Very, uh. Father-of-the-bride-who-also-coaches-high-school-football energy.”
He blinks. Looks down at it. It’s navy with tiny golden wheat stalks.
“Wow,” he says, adjusting it self-consciously. “I, uh. My mom got it for me for Christmas.”
“Of course she did.”
You’re trying not to enjoy this too much, but it’s hard. Watching him process attention is like watching someone try to download a new emotion over dial-up. He’s not awkward in the charming TV nerd way, he’s awkward in the earnest way. Like he still hasn’t realized he could probably get away with murder if he smiled hard enough.
(You think, selfishly, shamefully, that you'd probably help him hide the body if he could just smile at you instead of the damn espresso machine.)
“It’s... nice in here today,” he says, gesturing vaguely at the café. “I mean—I—I like the energy.”
You glance around at the over-caffeinated chaos.
The guy in the corner booth from the Gossip column loudly arguing with someone on Zoom about the best way to go about the whole Astronomer CEO cheating with his head of HR drama.
The sticky note on the register that says NO “EXTRA HOT” LATTES. IF YOU WANT TO TASTE HELL, TRY GOTHAM.
“Sure,” you say. “If you’re into… all that.”
Clark sips his coffee and actually makes a noise. Like a barely-there huh that somehow contains three syllables and a question mark. You clock the pink in his cheeks deepening. You did that. That’s yours now.
“You’re funny,” he says, and it’s so genuine it actually throws you for a second.
“Well, yeah,” you reply, recovering. “What else am I gonna do down here? I’m not allowed to unionize.”
There’s another laugh. Fuller this time. Like it slipped out before he could hide it. He looks at you, and this time he really looks, with this open, warm-eyed gaze that makes you feel like maybe you’ve done something brave just by speaking.
You drum your fingers on the counter. “You’re not gonna try to tip me with a compliment, are you?”
He panics. “No! I mean—do you want me to? I can—”
“Clark,” you say, slowly, with the air of someone taming a horse. “I’m just messing with you.”
“Oh,” he says. And then, small: “Right. Of course.”
There’s a pause. He fumbles his change, and you’re so tempted to reach over and do the hand-touch, cup-over-cup move from every romcom ever, just to see if he’d faint.
But you don’t. Not yet. You’ve got time. He’s clearly coming back.
Instead, you lean on the counter and say, “Same time tomorrow?”
And he nods, wide-eyed and startled like a deer being asked out at gunpoint even though you both know it probably won't be the same time tomorrow. “I—yeah. Yes. Definitely.”
You watch him leave, sipping his drip coffee like it’s the elixir of life, like you didn’t just ambush him with amphibian-related puns and call his tie ‘dad-coded.’ He pauses halfway to the elevator and glances back once, expression unreadable but soft.
Once the doors to the elevator close, you grin to yourself and write a note on the back of a pastry bag:
Make Midwestern Huckleberry C-O-M-B-U-S-T!
And then you tape it to the espresso machine. Just above the “clean me or I’ll start putting the Large cups over the Medium cups” sign. Grin. Tomorrow, you’ll find out if he can blush all the way to his collar.
.
When you finally clock out, approximately five and a half hours later, you hit the bodega first, because you’re not walking all the way to the Metro Foods just to remember they’re out of your specific brand of oat milk again and pay two dollars more for a smaller carton out of spite. The corner one’s closer. Grimy. Honest. Sells smokes behind the counter and probably a small arsenal of weapons underneath it.
You actually like that a lot about it.
The bell above the door screams when you push it open, but it’s doing its best. Hey, you're doing your best, too. Your hoodie kind of still smells like steamed milk and despair, and your sneakers are still faintly damp from where someone spilled their large iced sugar nightmare and “forgot” to tell anyone. You had the absolutely wonderful (mis)fortune of finding it with your foot.
The fluorescent lights in here are especially aggressive today, which feels… personal.
The guy at the register gives you a nod, the kind that says you’ve been in here enough times that I acknowledge your existence but not enough to ask your name. You respect the boundary, maybe 's why you like it so much here.
You grab a basket and beeline for the produce—because, you reason with yourself like you would a spoiled three-year old toddler, that if you start with kale, you can pretend this entire excursion actually has integrity.
You will not acknowledge that you’re really here for frozen dumplings and pretzels you’ll inhale over the sink tomorrow morning because you forgot to make real lunch again.
Not yet.
Tomatoes are too expensive. Everything is too expensive nowadays. Even the sad little ones with the weird texture that squish when you so much as look at them the wrong way. You poke one out of morbid curiosity. It feels like poking someone’s arm after they’ve fainted. Uh… not encouraging.
“Three seventy-nine a pound,” you mutter. “Fucking recession indicator.”
You don’t mean to wander past the coffee aisle after that. But it happens.
The scent hits first—too sharp, too acidic. Like someone tried to bottle up productivity and ended up with regret.
You shouldn’t even be here. You hate this aisle.
You’ve gone on rants. Real ones. Passionate, foaming-at-the-mouth monologues in the breakroom while nursing a triple shot over ice and picking stale biscotti crumbs out of your apron pocket. Rants that started with "I swear to God if Ricky buys another bag of pre-ground Peet’s I'm going to stage a coup," and ended with "coffee is alive, you soulless freaks, it breathes, it deserves better than a Mr. Coffee drip."
But.
You're the opener tomorrow.
And that means 5:45 a.m. You, alone, eyes crusted, body upright through spite and caffeine residue. You’re the one who calibrates the espresso, who restocks the milks, who makes sure the ancient, haunted BUNN drip machine doesn’t spit hot water directly into someone’s shoe again.
So you double back. Casually. Like maybe you’re here for—what? Dog food? An out-of-body experience?
Your gaze snags on a familiar name.
It’s a brand you respect, even if their whole Portland-vibe marketing leans a little too close to “guy who unironically wears a beanie in July.” But the beans are good. Real good. Sweet and chocolatey, but with a little complexity, a little grit. Not too dark. Holds up in drip, which you need. Doesn’t taste like ash.
The bag is $17. You stare at it like it’s winking at you.
No one would have to know.
You think about Clark, that earnest doofus, sipping that crap with both hands like it’s the only thing tethering him to this plane of existence.
You picture his face if he tried this one instead. Something real. Something warm and round and—God, maybe just sweet enough to throw him off his awkward axis.
You glance around. No one’s watching you.
The bag lands in your basket with a quiet, traitorous crinkle.
You pay in exact change. The cashier says nothing when he scans the bag, just gives you a look that says I, too, have sinned for flavor.
Back on the sidewalk, your tote is heavier than it should be. The wind hits sharp as you walk. Your hoodie doesn’t do much, but it smells like espresso and burnt toast now and maybe just the faintest whiff of rebellion.
Let him try this. Let Kansas boy lose his mind. Let him ask what it is and how you made it and if it always tastes like this.
.
The next morning, Clark’s late. Again.
You’re not watching the door.
You’re not. You’re definitely not timing how long it takes him to get down from the tenth floor and line up like the world’s gentlest golden retriever with a press pass. But you do clock that it’s 8:06 and he usually comes in around 7:50ish like clockwork, which means he’s either dead or forgot his umbrella and got caught helping an elderly woman cross the street while carrying her dog and her groceries and probably also her dog’s groceries.
Which is honestly more likely.
You’re behind the bar with one AirPod in, half-listening to a true crime podcast you’ll forget the name of by noon, when the door creaks open and in he comes—jacket open, hair wind-mussed, glasses a little fogged, holding his press badge like it might serve as protection against the cold and or social consequences.
“Sorry—sorry,” he pants as he shuffles up, already fishing for his wallet. “Someone had their car parked sideways in the loading zone, and then I dropped my notepad in a puddle, and the elevator—well, it made a noise I didn’t love.”
You stare at him blankly over the espresso machine.
Clark stares back.
And then, because it is Clark, he adds, “I think it’s probably fine though! I mean, I told someone. I left a sticky note. Elevator maintenance probably has a system.”
You set a clean cup down and pick up a Sharpie like it’s a weapon.
“Ohio,” you start, eyes narrowing, “do you usually ride in elevators that squeal like a haunted child?”
He shrugs, smiling like you’ve just asked if he takes sugar. “I mean, it is an old building.”
“Clark.”
“I’m sure it’s nothing.”
You sigh, but it’s mostly for show. “Medium drip. Extra room. Extra faith in the structural integrity of ancient elevators.”
“Right,” he says, blushing already. “You always remember.”
You don’t answer. You just pour.
You brewed a pot of those beans you got from the bodega that morning. Snuck it in under cover of darkness, stashed the bag behind the weird cinnamon syrup no one ever uses. If you’re gonna break house rules and your bank account, you might as well break them for something someone worth ruining lives over.
You slap a lid on and slide it across the counter.
Clark doesn’t grab it right away. Just stands there, all soft-eyed, looking somehow both undercaffeinated and deeply grateful to be here. Like maybe this five-dollar cup of coffee is the only stable thing in his life right now.
“Hey,” he says, awkward but sincere. “Meant to tell you—I liked what you wrote on my cup yesterday.”
You blink. “You remember what I wrote? Frogtitude?"
Clark laughs, but it’s almost a gasp of a laugh, like he was holding it in too long. “That. That was—it made me smile all day.”
You try not to show that that does something to you. That this man is genuinely thanking you like you left a handwritten note in his lunchbox and not a badly drawn amphibian in a barista apron.
“You’ve got low standards, Iowa.”
“I don’t know about that,” he says, and then finally takes a sip of his coffee.
And pauses.
And blinks.
And then blinks again.
“Oh my gosh,” he whispers.
It’s not performative. He says it like he’s just witnessed the birth of a star.
You fight down a grin. Hard.
“Something wrong?” you ask, innocent. Not innocent.
He lowers the cup just an inch, looking at it like it’s betrayed every expectation he’s ever had. “No, it’s just—I mean—I don’t think this is the usual blend?”
You raise an eyebrow. “Preeeeetty sure it is.”
He frowns in concentration. Takes another sip, slower this time, as if he’s trying to confirm that he wasn’t hallucinating. “This is... smooth. Like, really smooth. But still rich? Like a chocolate bar that went to college.”
You stare at him. “Do you write poetry on the side or something?”
Clark reddens, fingers curling tighter around the cup. “Sorry! I just—I think I’m having a moment.”
“No, please, go on. I’d love to hear more about your emotional journey through this coffee.”
He clutches the cup closer to his chest, like someone might come snatch it. “Seriously, this is incredible. Did you—did someone special roast it?”
“Sure,” you say, casually wiping the bar down. “We’ve got a guy in the basement who cries on the beans for that extra depth of flavor.”
Clark chokes on his next sip, which is honestly a gift. He coughs and tries to cover it with a laugh, eyes watering.
“I’m kidding,” you say, grabbing him a napkin. “No tears. Just some good taste.”
He takes the napkin with both hands. “I don’t know how I’m going to go back to regular coffee after this.”
“You won’t,” you say. “That’s the point. I’m ruining you on purpose.”
Clark looks up, startled.
You don’t look away.
Just raise your eyebrows. “I mean, the house blend’s a crime against humanity, and I’m tired of pretending it’s not.”
Clark is bright pink now. Full-blush. Red all the way to the collar of his slightly-too-big work shirt, and you try not to think of the image of him—crouched over an ironing board, impossibly large, minding all the little creases.
Success. He does blush all the way down.
“Well,” he says softly, “I appreciate the sabotage.”
“Anytime.”
You say it offhand, because you’ve been trying it out in your head and it fits—somewhere between teasing and affectionate, and definitely enough to make him glance up like he’s not sure if you’re being mean or just... noticing.
You are noticing. You always have.
He fiddles with his receipt, eyes down. “Hey, uh... if I brought in some cookies—like, homemade—would that be weird?”
You blink. “For who?”
“For you,” he says. “I mean, and your coworkers. But—mostly you.”
It knocks the wind out of you for half a second.
“I like baking,” he adds quickly. “It’s relaxing.”
You try not to show your reaction. Fail. “You bake?”
He nods, eyes crinkling at the corners. “Chocolate chip. Oatmeal raisin. Sometimes those little peanut butter ones with the Hershey kiss?”
You raise a hand. “Okay, now you’re just bragging.”
Clark smiles again. Quiet. Unfiltered. Honest.
The bell above the door chimes behind him as another customer walks in. He looks down at his watch—calculator-confirmed—then back up at you.
“See you tomorrow?” he asks.
You tip your head. “You bring cookies, I bring our secret crying man blend. Deal?”
His grin could power the city.
“Deal.”
When he finally leaves your line of sight, you snatch the note from yesterday to add a slight revision:
Make Midwestern Huckleberry C-O-M-B-U-S-T! ABSOLUTELY E-X-P-L—
"Dude, you need to get back to work or something."
"Shut up."
.
A couple days later, Clark brings in the cookies.
They’re in a Tupperware container that looks like it’s survived three different potlucks and maybe a tornado. There’s a sticky note on the lid that just says: “Made these last night. Might be too soft? Also I didn’t measure the vanilla, I just sort of... guessed. -CK” with a little cartoon of a cookie saying “Hi :)”.
They’re oatmeal chocolate chip. Still warm. Still slightly underbaked in the best possible way. He drops them off awkwardly between customers—says something like, “Hope they’re edible,” and then fumbles his wallet and apologizes to the napkin dispenser.
You take one while he’s still there, bite into it dramatically just to make him squirm, and then say, flatly, “This is offensively good.”
Clark—sweet, flustered Clark—beams like you just gave him a Pulitzer.
.
Now it’s Thursday, mid-morning, and you’re on break for once.
Which means you’re sitting in the corner booth in the café’s far back, the one with the wonky cushion and the view of the alley dumpsters. You’re sipping your own coffee for once—your actual coffee, the not-house-blend blend—and listening to some girl on a podcast whisper-shouting about how Love Island is an allegory for late-stage capitalism and mutual destruction disguised as connection. It’s pretty great.
And then the bell over the door rings.
You don’t look up right away. You try not to. You try to hold onto the moment—the horrific British accent, the rare heat of a ceramic mug. But your body knows. Your body alwaysknows.
Sure enough, when you glance up, it’s him.
Clark walks in like a gust of air—rumpled coat, puff of breath from the chill outside, cheeks again slightly pink and tie valiantly losing its battle with gravity. He spots you almost instantly. And you—you pretend not to see him.
You do not wave. You do not smile. You just raise one brow and sip your coffee like you are a god on break and he is mortal and interrupting.
He hesitates for exactly two seconds, then walks up to the counter like normal, orders, does his awkward wallet-fumble thing with the same sincerity of someone offering you their firstborn in exchange for an Americano.
One of your coworkers—Dev—makes his coffee. Dev’s in college and hates everything including his life, so he hands Clark his cup with all the warmth of a DMV employee.
And then Clark... doesn’t leave.
No, he glances over his shoulder.
At you.
And then—God help you—he comes over.
You watch him cross the café with the awkward but determined gait of someone who’s trying not to overthink walking.
“Hey,” he says, standing beside your booth.
You sip your coffee. “You’re lingering, Nebraska.”
He flushes. “Well. I just... I’ve never seen you on break.”
“You mean sitting down like a human person?”
“Yeah,” he says, then realizes how that sounds. “No! I just—I mean—like, not behind the bar. It’s new.”
You raise a brow again. “New enough to investigate?”
Clark hesitates. He looks like he’s going to retreat. But then—he doesn’t.
“Can I sit?” he asks.
And for the sheer novelty of it—he, who’s never sat in here once, not in any of the three weeks you’ve known him, not even when there were pastries involved—you nod slowly and say, “Sure. Knock yourself out.”
Clark sits carefully. The booth groans under his weight, like it wasn’t built to accommodate six feet and four inches of earnest farm boy. He sets his cup down like he’s worried it might be offended.
“You’ve never sat down down here before,” you say.
He clears his throat. “Usually I don’t because of, um... the lighting. It’s—uh—aggressively fluorescent.”
“Mm. Not because of the draft or the, I don’t know, weird linoleum tiles?”
“Those too,” he says solemnly. “Also the smell of despair coming from the bathroom.”
You snort into your sleeve. “Wow. Big talk from someone who’s been down here religiously for weeks.”
He ducks his head, grinning. “I’m a complicated man.”
“No, you’re a journalist with a caffeine dependency and a weirdly solid moral code.”
He raises his cup in salute. “Guilty.”
There’s a brief pause where you both sip. You’re not sure what he expected, but the fact that he’s now stuck in the booth across from you, elbows too big for the table, legs slightly too long for the bench, is clearly dawning on him in real time.
“So,” you say, stretching your legs out a little further, just to trap him. “What’s the angle, Illinois?”
“No angle,” he says quickly. “Just... thought it’d be nice. To talk.”
You raise an eyebrow. “Talk. Like people. Who talk.”
“Exactly,” he says, determined now. “I mean—we’ve been talking already. Sort of. You insult me a lot.”
“That’s my love language.”
He laughs. “Good to know.”
You lean back, stretch your legs just enough to box him in. “So. What would we even talk about? You want my coffee origin story?”
His expression perks up like you just offered to tell him your first kiss story.
“Actually, yes.”
You sip your coffee. “I was forged in a vat of over-extracted espresso and crushing student debt.”
“Ah. A classic hero’s journey.”
“More of a Greek tragedy. There’s no escape and everyone dies a little inside.”
He lets out a soft, real laugh—head tipped back, hair curling slightly at the ends from the cold outside, cheeks still faintly pink. You try not to memorize it.
“So what about you?” you ask, swirling the last bit of your drink. “What’s your tragic origin? Fall into a printing press as a baby?”
“Close,” he says, beaming. “I wrote a very intense op-ed about the school lunch program in eighth grade. Got published in the Smallville Post. After that, I was hooked.”
You blink. “That is... deeply wholesome.”
He shrugs. “I peaked early.”
A silence settles again, but it’s not awkward. It’s... comfortable. Warm.
And he’s got his sleeves rolled up.
You hadn’t noticed before, not really. But now—now that he’s sitting still, now that he’s not fumbling or moving or half-tucking his badge away like it might explode—you can see it.
Clark has arms.
Like, not just functional limbs. Not just hey-I-moved-a-couch-once arms. No. These are storytelling arms. Like if he wasn’t a journalist, he’d be... forging swords or something in Ireland. Or baking heritage sourdough by hand in an Amish colony. Or holding you against a barn door in some kind of emotionally charged, enemies-to-lovers farmhand romance book that you’re not saying you’ve read. Or—
Anyway.
You’re not that fixated on them. You’re not. You’re just—not blind.
It’s a new kind of hell. Because he’s sitting there, all polite and good and earnest, sipping his coffee with his dumb beautiful mouth, and you are trying so hard not to let your gaze drop back down to his biceps again.
“You okay?” he asks, brow crinkled, voice all warm concern like you didn’t just zone out mid-conversation to contemplate the state of his triceps. Like he doesn’t know that his sleeves are a war crime and you’re the sole surviving witness.
“Yup,” you say, way too fast. Like, cartoonishly fast.
He blinks. Tilts his head, trying to parse your tone. “Just thinking.”
Nods a little. Waits a beat. Then, gently, “About?”
You look at him. Really look.
Big blue eyes, impossibly earnest. Brows drawn just slightly, like he thinks maybe you’re upset, or tired, or—God help you—bored. He shifts in the booth like he’s about to apologize for existing.
And you can’t help it.
You reach out—calmly, smoothly, with the casual gravitas of someone pretending they didn’t just short-circuit at the sight of his forearms—and pluck the pen from behind his ear.
Clark stills immediately.
“Oh—uh—” he stammers, straightening up a little, like he’s done something wrong. Like getting his pen stolen is a disciplinary offense. “Did you—do you need to write something down?”
“Don’t move,” you say, already uncapping it with your teeth.
His mouth opens like he’s about to ask something else, but you don’t give him the chance.
Instead, you reach for his left arm—fingertips brushing warm, tan skin—and gently, purposefully, pull it toward you.
And he lets you.
He lets you guide his arm across the table, palm-up. Lets you anchor it with one hand while you write on the inside of his forearm with the other—steady and precise, like this is a totally normal thing you do to customers who bake you cookies and blush when you roast them. Like this isn’t the first time you’ve touched him. Like it’s not doing something to you, even though it absolutely, definitely is.
His skin is warm. Firm. Soft in places, freckled in others, with those faint dustings of hair that are completely unremarkable except for the way they catch the light and make your brain lowkey stop functioning.
You feel the tremor run through him—not dramatic, not visible, but real. A low hum under the surface, like a live wire.
And then you see it.
Goosebumps. Skin slowly turning pink. Crawling across his forearm, blooming under your touch like he’s standing in a cold wind even though the café is very much decidedly not cold.
He stares at your hand on his arm like it’s some sort of a religious event. Like he’s worried blinking will make it go away.
You cap the pen back with a little click and tuck it gently back behind his ear.
He still doesn’t move.
You glance up. He’s still staring at his arm when you say, lightly, “I’m free this weekend. Saturday. After five.”
Clark opens his mouth. Nothing comes out.
Closes it. Tries again. “Okay,” he breathes, like he forgot how his lungs work. “Yeah. Yes. I—great. I’ll—uh—yeah.”
You give him a look. Tilt your head just slightly. “Words, Clark. You’re a journalist, remember?”
His ears go scarlet.
“I’ll text you,” he says quickly. “And we’ll... we’ll do a thing. A date. Together. If that’s okay.”
You lean back in your seat like a cat in a sunbeam. Sip your coffee. Smirk just a little.
“That’s the idea.”
Clark’s holding his arm like it’s breakable. Like the number’s written in gold leaf and not cheap ink from a $1.99 pen.
And you swear, swear, you catch him glancing down at it again as he gathers his stuff. Like he’s memorizing it in case a strong wind comes through and blows it away.
His whole face is still pink when he stands up. The tips of his ears are practically glowing.
It’s ridiculous.
It’s endearing.
It’s—dangerous, honestly, how much it makes you want to reach for him again.
You don’t. Not yet.
But you do watch him leave, this tall, flustered, ray of sunshine who now has your number on his arm like it’s some sort of secret message.
The pastry bag note's no longer hanging on the espresso machine. You've taken it home.
.
It’s just a date.
Just. A date.
With Clark Kent.
But it's like your closet is mocking you. Every shirt is suddenly wrong. This one’s too tight. That one’s too try-hard. This one screams, “pleasegod please love me despite my visible trust issues.” And the one you were going to wear, the one you felt okay about an hour ago, now feels like it’s not enough. Like you’re not enough. Which is… probably not great? Mentally? But you’re too deep in it to self-soothe now.
You glance at the time.
Two and a half hours. Technically plenty.
But then your phone buzzes, face-down on your bed.
You dive.
CLARK K.: Hey :) still good for 5:30? No pressure. I mean there is pressure. But only like, fun pressure.
CLARK K.: Wait that sounded weird.
CLARK K.: I’m excited. That’s all.
You stare at the screen for a beat too long, forehead pressed into your comforter. He’s so earnest it makes your chest hurt. You type back with what you hope is cool, flirty detachment and not the energy of someone reapplying deodorant for the third time today.
YOU: yeah, still good
YOU: u need the address or u you gonna x-ray locate it thru the earth’s crust or whatever
Immediately regret it.
Too much. You’re being too much. You’re going to get blocked for making geology-flavored metahuman jokes before the first date even happens.
But then—
CLARK K.: Lol hahahahahahaha
CLARK K.: unfortunately I can't x ray because that's impossible like no one can do that obviously unless you have a radiology unit in your eyes or somethi g
CLARK K.: Anyway, I'll have the address or I’ll else I'll end up at Arby’s by mistake.
You send it. You don’t even hesitate this time. He invited this dynamic, so now he has to live in it.
YOU: if u show up with curly fries ur getting ghosted
CLARK K.: Harsh, but fair
CLARK K.: Bringing my best behavior 😃
CLARK K.: See you soon!
You throw your phone across the room. Gently. With love.
.
When the knock comes, it’s not loud. Three small, polite taps. You check the peephole even though you know it’s him. Because you’re not unhinged. Just… cautious.
And then you open the door.
And there he is.
Standing on your doormat like he hasn’t just obliterated your frontal lobe with one (1) rolled flannel and an orange flower in his hand.
It’s not even a bouquet. Just a single, bright zinnia. Slightly wilted on the edge. Like he wanted to bring something sweet but not too much. Thoughtful but not too presumptuous.
He’s got that sheepish, slightly stunned look again. Like you surprised him. Like maybe he hadn’t been fully prepared to see you either.
And he’s a little out of breath.
Not dramatically. Not like he sprinted. But like he got here and paused outside your door for a second too long, maybe psyching himself up, and now he’s a little flustered and trying to play it cool but failing. Adorably.
“Hi,” he says, and it’s soft, shy almost.
And you—You blush. Full face, full body. Heat blooms up your neck, across your chest, creeps over your ears. Which is frankly rude. Unfair. You were doing so well playing it cool.
He notices. Of course he notices. He lights up like he’s just won a prize.
“You look…” He trails off, then clears his throat. “I mean, you always look great. But wow. Tonight is… wow.”
You take the flower from him, trying not to smile too hard.
“Wow back,” you mutter, because you’re a disaster.
You’re pretty sure this man could say “macaroni salad” and you’d swoon like you’ve just been proposed to. Which is fine. Probably.
Definitely.
He offers you his arm, awkward but sweet. You take it.
And for one brief moment, you think maybe—maybe—you won’t survive this date. But God, what a way to go.
.
Clark picks a diner just a few blocks from your place. Neon sign buzzes a little. Booths are cracked vinyl. Menus are laminated and sticky in that way where it’s not wet, exactly, but it’s not dry either.
You sit across from him in a booth that squeaks every time you shift your weight. He folds his hands on the table like he’s about to say grace or apologize for the dust bowl. Instead, he says, “I haven’t been here in a while. I think the last time was after a stakeout that ended in a twenty-two-hour nothingburger. I was so hungry I ordered pancakes, a tuna melt, and fries. I wouldn’t recommend that combo.”
You raise your eyebrows. “That’s—deranged.”
“I was sleep-deprived and emotionally fragile. And honestly? The fries were great.”
You hum, flipping through the menu. “You brought me to a trauma site.”
“It’s not a trauma site. It’s—comfort food. Nostalgic. The kind of place that still thinks calling something a ‘patty melt’ is sexy.”
You snort. “It kind of is.”
Clark chokes on his water.
And then—it starts.
The conversation, not a thing, not capital-R Romantic or anything, just… this sort of low, steady hum between you. Easy. Weirdly so. He asks you about the café, and not in the fake way people do when they’re trying to be interested. Like he actually wants to know. Like it’s funny to him that the oat milk goes missing every Wednesday and you’re 80% sure it’s stolen by the guy who “works remote” in the corner but only ever types on his laptop when people walk by.
Then he tells his work stories, but not the cool ones. Not the “once I interviewed Superman” stories, though you do wanna ask how he managed to get that in. He talks about how Lois once replaced his keyboard with one where every key was set to type ‘I AM A NERD’ no matter what he pressed. And the time Perry tried to switch to standing desks and accidentally gave himself a back spasm.
“I tried to help him stretch it out,” Clark says, “but then I sneezed and cracked my glasses in half. I don’t even know how. It was like a cartoon.”
“And Perry still lets you write about city politics?”
Clark grins, crooked and earnest. “Well, yeah. But only because I make sure to mention ‘accountability’ every third paragraph.”
“Do you always laugh at your own stories this much?”
He grins, sheepish, pink in the cheeks. “Yeah. Sorry. I just—once I start remembering the details, it gets funnier in my head, and then I spiral. It’s a problem.”
“No, it’s cute,” you say, too fast.
He blinks. You blink. You both look down at your drinks like they’ve suddenly become very interesting.
“I mean,” you say, aiming for casual and missing by a mile, “objectively speaking. Anyone writing about local politics doing God’s work.”
Clark smiles, small this time, like he’s trying not to spook the moment. “Well, you’re really easy to talk to. Helps a ton."
You press your foot against the floor so you don’t accidentally kick him under the table.
“Yeah,” you say. “You too. Except for the patty melt thing. That’s still upsetting.”
“I stand by it. You’ve never lived until you’ve had American cheese with a side of regret.”
You roll your eyes. “How do you not have IBS?”
He shrugs, all innocent Kansas-boy charm. “Good genes?”
You snort. “Is that what we’re calling them now?”
Clark turns bright red. Like, collarbone red. You catch it and immediately file it away as a top five moment of your week.
Instead, you sip your drink and try very hard not to look at his arms again when he reaches for the salt.
He offers to walk you home after, like this is Gotham and not Metropolis, and you’re in mortal danger of getting mugged by a rogue streetlamp or conscripted by a rogue theatre troupe doing King Lear in the park. You don’t say no. You don’t really want to.
Besides, it’s kind of… nice. The way he walks like someone who’s not in a rush to be anywhere. Like he means to make it to the end of the sidewalk and not a second sooner.
He tucks his hands into his jacket pockets like he’s afraid they’ll do something inappropriate if left unsupervised. Occasionally, they drift back out when he gets excited about something he’s saying and then, as if remembering themselves, they’re quickly shoved back in.
“You know,” you say, bumping your shoulder gently into his, “for someone who’s allegedly a professional journalist, you don’t ask a lot of prying questions.”
Clark hums. “I’ve been told my bedside manner is… Midwestern.”
“That’s not a real thing.”
“It absolutely is. It’s like… nosiness with a layer of apology. We’ll ask about your divorce but bring banana bread to soften the blow.”
You shoot him a look. “Your poor sources.”
“I bribe them with muffins.”
You’re still laughing when your building comes into view. The stoop light is doing its usual impression of a dying firefly—glow, flicker, darkness. Repeat. You slow your steps instinctively, angling your body toward the door, signaling with every possible fiber of your being that this isn’t the part where the night ends.
Clark doesn’t catch the signal.
He stops at the bottom of the steps. Full stop. Hands still in his jacket, like he’s clocking out of the shift. Like he’s already back on the subway in his head.
“Well,” he says, and it sounds practiced. Gentle, but finite. “This was really nice.”
You blink. That’s it?
“Yeah,” you say, voice thin. “It was.”
There’s a beat.
Then another.
He just stands there, beaming at you. Not moving. Like a Labrador who brought you a stick and isn’t quite sure what happens next. You stare at him, willing him—telepathically willing him—to pick up the stick.
Nothing.
You glance toward the door, then back at him. “It’s, uh… it’s not super late, if you… if you wanted to come up.”
Clark blinks like you just offered him the deed to your apartment and half your 401k.
“Oh.” A pause. “I mean—I wouldn’t want to intrude.”
“You wouldn’t be.”
He shifts his weight. “You probably have to open early tomorrow…”
“So do a lot of people. That’s not a reason not to have tea.”
“Tea?”
You gesture vaguely in the air. “Or, you know. Sit on furniture. Continue human interaction.”
“I wouldn’t want to overstay—”
“Clark,” you say, trying not to visibly collapse into yourself, “you walked me home. Like a 1950s poster boy. I think we’re past overstaying.”
He opens his mouth. Closes it again. And then—finally—finally—you see it click. His eyebrows do this subtle arch like a cartoon light bulb just pinged over his head. The most adorable software update in real time.
“Oh,” he says again. And this oh is different. Softer. Real. A little horrified at himself.
You laugh under your breath. “Jesus Christ.”
“I’m sorry,” he says quickly, earnest and red to the ears. “I—I just didn’t want to assume. You were being polite and funny and I didn’t want to turn that into—”
“You’re extremely noble,” you say, climbing one step higher so he’s looking up at you a little. “It’s wildly inconvenient.”
He laughs, ducking his head, curls falling into his eyes. “Sorry. I thought maybe you were just being nice. Or—friendly.”
“I am being nice,” you say, leaning against the doorframe, “but I don’t usually invite friendly people upstairs for ambiguous beverages.”
Clark’s eyes flick up to yours. There’s something hesitant there. Warm. A little surprised.
“Right,” he says, and you swear you can see him rerunning the entire walk in his head, mentally cataloguing every flirtation he’s now realizing happened in real time.
You reach for the door handle. “So. You coming, or do I have to start naming teas until one of them sounds sexy enough?”
He smiles, crooked and boyish. “Depends. Do you have chamomile?”
“I have a tea that claims to be chamomile and tastes like sadness.”
He climbs the steps after you. “Perfect. That’s my favorite flavor.”
It's silent when you unlock the door. Just steps in after you, careful not to drip melted snow from his boots on your welcome mat. He shrugs his coat off like it’s second nature to be here, like his body already knows to move slow, stay soft. You kick your shoes off, gesture vaguely at your kitchen table-slash-coffee shrine-slash-tea graveyard.
“Make yourself at home,” you say, voice light, like this isn’t the most vulnerable you’ve felt in weeks. “Just ignore the sink. It’s full of, uh, science experiments.”
He grins. “I’ve faced worse.”
You scoff. “Bet you say that to all the girls with half-dead succulents and a box of Celestial Seasonings they forgot they bought.”
But he just smiles, gentle, and stays right where he is while you fill the kettle.
You busy yourself at the counter, pretending to debate your options while the water heats, even though you already grabbed the chamomile—the knockoff, stale variety you mock on principle but suddenly feel weirdly sentimental about. Behind you, Clark wanders just far enough to hover near the bookshelf, hands in his pockets, polite and fidgety.
The kettle whistles. You make the tea.
By the time you bring the mugs over, he’s perched carefully at the far end of the couch, like he’s trying not to startle the furniture. You sit beside him, close but not touching, and set the mugs down on the coffee table.
Clark clasps his hands. Sits up straight like he’s in an interview.
You try to act normal. You do not succeed. And you don’t realize how close you’ve gotten until your knees brush his thigh and he doesn’t move. Just tenses. Barely. And then… relaxes again.
Okay. Now or never.
“I feel like you’re waiting for a sign,” you say, not looking at him. “Like a signal or something.”
Clark laughs, a little too quickly. “Am I that obvious?”
“You’re very obvious.”
He doesn’t defend himself. Doesn’t argue. Just watches you now, really watches you, and you can feel it, the way you feel the warm buzz of a lightbulb, even after it’s been switched off.
“I don’t want to—” he starts, then stops. “I don’t want to ruin a good thing.”
“It’s tea,” you say softly. “It’s not sacred.”
“That’s not what I mean.”
You don’t speak.
And then—then—finally, he moves.
It’s small at first. His hand brushing yours. Just that. But his fingers catch. Linger. Curl slightly, not gripping, just anchoring. Like he’s still asking.
He’s close enough now that you can see the faint line of stubble on his jaw. The slope of his neck. The soft line of his mouth, which is not currently smiling.
“You’re allowed to kiss me,” you say, and your voice is steadier than your heartbeat.
Clark lets out a breath, and you feel it on your lips before he’s even touched you. His eyes flick to your mouth. Back to your eyes. His hand rises, hesitating near your jaw like he’s not sure where to land, like your skin might flinch away from his touch.
It doesn’t.
It starts gentle—just the press of his mouth to yours, warm and careful—but the second you kiss him back, really kiss him, something in him unspools. The restraint fractures. And God, you don’t expect how good he is at this. How confident.
He tilts his head, deepens it, not asking now. Not apologizing. His hand cradles the back of your neck like he knows exactly where you want him. His other slides across your waist, slow and steady, grounding you as your pulse kicks up like it’s trying to escape your throat.
And he kisses like someone who’s had to be careful his whole life. Like he’s used to holding back and hates that he wants more. Like he’s used to stopping himself midwant.
But not now.
Now he touches you like he’s hungry for it, like this moment is a warm room in winter and he finally stepped inside. Like he’s letting himself want you, all at once, with no filter.
Your fingers find his shirt, the fabric soft from too many washes, and you tug, not roughly, but enough. Enough to make him groan softly against your mouth. He doesn’t pull away.
If anything, he leans in more.
And when his lips part, when his tongue brushes yours, it’s not sloppy. Every shift of his mouth, every exhale against your cheek, feels like a choice.
Like he’s already thought it through and decided: yes. This.
You pull back, just a breath, dazed. “You sure you don’t do this often?”
His eyes are dark now, focused entirely on you. He smiles, slow and wicked and too knowing.
“I never said I didn’t,” he murmurs. “I said I didn’t want to assume.”
Somewhere in the heat of it, your shirt ends up bunched under your arms. His fingers push it higher, slower now, thumbs grazing ribs like he’s not just trying to take it off, he’s trying to understand you.
“Can I…?” he asks, voice low, already hoarse.
You nod, half-dazed. “Yeah.”
He helps you peel it off, careful but not clinical, eyes locked to yours the entire time. Like he’s waiting for your breath to hitch, and it does, and then his eyes drop and he murmurs, “Oh.”
“You’re staring,” you manage, breathless.
“I know,” he says, completely unrepentant.
And then it’s your turn.
You reach for the buttons of his shirt and suddenly your hands are too clumsy for the task. The first button slips. The second is stubborn. God. He watches you with a soft smile like you’re trying to solve a beautiful, impossible equation.
“Let me?” he offers, fingers brushing yours.
You nod. “Please.”
He undoes the buttons one by one. Carefully. Methodically. Like he’s doing it more for your benefit, not his. And when he finally shrugs it off, lets it fall to the floor behind him, you see him.
All of him.
And goddamn.
You freeze for a second, mouth parted slightly, eyes trailing over him like you’re cataloguing a new species.
Because this man is ripped.
Not gym-bro toned or Hollywood-pretty. No, he’s absolutely dense with it. Broad shoulders and thick arms and a chest that looks like it was designed to be leaned against in major catastrophes. Every inch of him looks functional, like he was built for holding, saving, protecting.
“Jesus,” you whisper. “You did not say you were hiding a full Greek tragedy under that flannel.”
Clark huffs out a startled laugh, cheeks flushing pink.“I, uh…” He rubs the back of his neck. “Farm work?”
You narrow your eyes. “That is not just from hauling hay bales and fixing fences, my guy.”
You reach out without fully meaning to, your fingers brushing lightly against his chest, like your brain demanded physical confirmation of whatever softcore mythological nonsense is going on under his shirt.
He catches your hand, not to stop you, just to hold it, then kisses your palm.
“I like the way you look at me,” he murmurs.
You look up at him, gaze flicking between his mouth and his eyes. “I’m trying not to faint.”
“You can,” he says, lips just barely grazing yours. “I’ve got you."
You kiss him again, and it’s greedy this time—hands in his hair, on his shoulders, trying to get closer even though you’re already half in his lap. And he kisses you like he feels it. His hands bracket your ribs like he’s trying to memorize your shape.
Then his mouth finds your neck.
It starts with a kiss just below your ear. A press, then a drag of lips. Then he breathes in and groans.
“You smell so good,” he mutters. “You’re gonna ruin me.”
And then he’s on your neck. Mouth open, tongue and teeth and heat. He kisses like he means to leave something behind. You can feel it—not just the ache, but the intention.
You gasp, fingers tightening on his shoulders. “Clark—”
“Say my name again,” he murmurs, lips brushing your throat. “I’ll do anything.”
He sucks gently, then a little harder. You know it’s going to bruise. You feel it blooming. He licks over it immediately after, like an apology. Then does it again, just slightly lower.
“Clark,” you breathe. “You’re obsessed with my neck.”
He smiles against your skin. “I really am.”
“Do I even need to wear a scarf tomorrow?”
He pulls back, eyes dark. “You might want to. But I’d rather everyone knew.”
You stare at him, dazed, unmoored, panting slightly, and suddenly it hits you all over again.
You like him. You like him too damn much.
He leans in again, forehead to yours, lips hovering.
“You okay?” he asks.
You nod. “Yeah. You?”
But then he stills.
“Wait—” he says, pulling back just enough to blink at you, dazed and kiss-swollen. “Do you—I mean, I didn’t think we’d—uh. I didn’t bring anything. I don’t have…”
He trails off. His ears are pink.
You blink. “You don’t—?”
He shakes his head, mortified. “No. I wasn’t planning on—I mean, I hoped, but I didn’t think we’d... I didn’t want to assume.”
You sit there for a beat. Legs wrapped around him, who is very much shirtless, very much flustered, and very much... him about this. You have to exhale a laugh. “Of course you didn’t.”
His eyes widen. “I’m sorry—I swear I’m not usually—well, I am usually—”
“Clark," You rub your hands along his extremely toned shoulders, to ground you a little bit before the words you're about to say. "I'm clean. I'm on the pill. If it's okay with you, it's okay with me. To…" you cough. "Go without a condom."
Clark goes quiet.
Just runs his fingers along your bare abdomen, then the edge of your waistband. It stays like that for a second, and for a second, you wonder if you've just fucking fumbled this. If he's gonna push you off and walk off that door and now you've just lost the first crush you've had in a year and one of your best, hottest tippers—
"Baby, that's okay with me," He's hooking his fingers down, pulling your pants off gently. "I'm clean too. I'm—yeah, that's alright."
You grin. Let him pull them all the way off, along with your panties, until he's face to face with your cunt and you can see his pupils dilate, lips falling open slightly.
"You're—wow, you're just…. god you're beautiful."
Beautiful, yes. But you're also soaked, so unbelievably soaked under the weight of his stare, and so you shimmy down lower, lower, lower, until you're closer to him. "Get your pants off, then."
"Yes ma'am."
The gasp that escapes you when his boxers drop is… unladylike. He's pink and hard and positively leaking at the tip, fucking massive in a way that makes you sweat a little bit.
Clark tilts his head, one of his hands coming down to give himself a preliminary stroke. "Is—do you like what you see?"
You nod. Because that's the only thing you've got the mental power to do right now. "Uh huh."
He bends down, like a predator on the prowl, until he's slotted in between your legs, cock hanging heavy between the two of you. You move around a bit, trying to get comfortable, trying to prepare, but it's no use.
You just need this man in you now.
And just like that, he's sinking into you without much fanfare, but fuck. There's just so much of him. He's huge in a way that almost feels like your guts are reaaranged, like tomorrow, you're gonna have to call a funeral home and get your tombstone engraved. Something along the lines of: here lies your will to keep going after possibly getting the dicking down of your entire life.
"Hey, I lost you there for a second," Clark snaps you back to the moment, blue eyes looking over your features with concern.
He's paused, only halfway in when you look down, and he's caressing your hip carefully. Like that'll ever compensate for the fact that you feel full, so fucking full. "Need a second?"
"Don't you dare stop, Minnesota."
And then he smiles, dorky and a little lopsided. "Okay."
Your nails dig into his shoulders then, when he shifts, trying for your same to go slow but you can tell—you can tell that it's barely controlled restraint. Everything pulses.
Finally, he bottoms out and it feels like you both release a breath you didn't even know you were holding.
Another shift, testing, trying to find your limits, and you moan softly, bordering on a whimper. Clark looks at you again, and you nod. Giddy up.
When he slowly starts to pull out, you almost whine, the feeling of him slowly vacating, every vein seeming to brush along all your sensitive nerves on the way out. "Oh god. Oh god, Clark, fuck, it feels so good—"
Your words seem to ignite something in him, because he starts thrusting in earnest, in and out, in and out, driving you wild and breathless.
He cups one of your breasts, like it's gonna be the thing that tethers him back to reality, the pad of his thumb skating over your pebbled nipple and twisting, pulling, relishing in the way you hiss and start thrusting back onto him.
"You like that?"
"God, yes. Clark—"
You don't get to finish, because he's tilting his head down to put one of your tits into his mouth and it's warm and wet and sloppy, his tongue massaging over the bundle of nerves and nipping every so often. His other hand doesn't even break a sweat.
It's a fucking attack on your senses, that's what it is, legs spread wide, tits all for his to do whatever he wanted with, and you're just laying back and taking it.
Holy shit.
“Look at you,” he whispers, pulling off of your nipple with a wet pop! until he's kissing up your throat again. “So gorgeous. So good for me.”
You pull him in by your legs to make him go harder, deeper, chasing friction like it owes you something. “You’re not what I thought you’d be.”
His pace doesn't break, but he raises an eyebrow, “What did you think?”
“I thought you’d be gentle.”
He grins against your neck, the edge of his teeth dragging heat over your pulse. “I am being gentle.”
You groan, tilt your hips, when he clutches your hips again, slamming you down even harder. “Jesus.”
“No,” Clark mutters, kissing your mouth again like he means to drown in it. “Just me.”
The room sounds so filthy—him, grunting and groaning in your ear, so profoundly wrecked and needy that it sends tingles up your spine, the echo of his balls slapping against you, thrusts progressively getting harder and sloppier as you both approach that edge.
Your eyes roll back, lips going soft and reduced to moans that are a combination of his name, more, harder, please. And Clark, ever the people pleaser, he obeys.
His hands are searing, forcing you to arch for him, get that angle that drives you both a little bit crazy. Feeling yourself get closer and closer and closer to the edge, you reach for one of his hands, hard and pressing on your belly, to move it down to your clit, aching and sensitive.
Luckily, he gets the hint. Keeps his eyes on you while he starts mercilessly rubbing that bundle of nerves, grinding you down onto him. "You gonna come for me soon, pretty girl?"
"Yes—" You whine. "God, yes, just please—please don't stop. I'll do anything, I—I'll–"
He presses a kiss to your forehead. "I know, baby, I know."
It doesn't take long after that, with the way he's pinching softly at your clit and how his thrusts rapidly start to get less and less controlled, pushing up against your gummy walls to no abandon, and you gasp—high and keening—one solid hand tangled in your hair—
"Oh, I'm gonna cum—are you there? Tell me you're there, tell me you're gonna—oh—"
You moan, loud and unrestrained, and you clench around him as you finish, seeing stars and constellations behind your eyes.
He's off the edge with you, and if you thought you were full before, you absolutely weren't—feeling the warm, hot spurts of him finishing inside.
Holy shit.
The room's quieted. Just you and him, breathing raggedly, his forehead pressed against yours. Then—a kiss against your cheek. A kiss against your nose. A kiss against your lips.
And then for the crescendo—
"Good girl. Such a pretty baby."
.
It starts simple. Like a “good morning.” Like a “still here.”
You’re barely awake. Still somewhere in the in-between, tucked under your too-thin quilt with one leg out and the other tangled with his.
But then his hands tighten. One sliding lower, anchoring you to him, the other cradling the back of your head like he’s afraid you might vanish. He kisses you deeper, hungrier. The kind of kiss that says I thought about this all night. I woke up wanting this.
His mouth moves to your jaw, then to your neck, of course it does. Of course. You gasp when he finds the same spot he marked last night. His teeth drag there, just a little, just enough.
“Clark,” You gasp—because it’s him, because it’s too early for this, because it’s already too much—and he groans like that’s a reward.
“You taste like heaven,” he murmurs. “I’m sorry. I can’t stop.” Then, quieter: “Can I stay a little longer?”
You peek open one eye, blearily take in the state of the room—your jeans half-on the floor, toast crust on the nightstand, that stupid coat rack leaning like it’s had a long winter. One of your socks is in the plant. Everything’s a mess. It’s all a mess.
And Clark, six-foot-something of rumpled, shirtless disaster, is lying beside you like he belongs here. Like he’s always belonged here. Like this is what he looks like in the morning—hair all askew, sleep still tucked in the corners of his smile, too sincere for his own good.
You look back at him. “I mean. You’re kind of in too deep already.”
His grin gets a little lopsided. A little dazed. “So that’s a yes?”
You reach for himl, like your heart isn’t currently doing somersaults. “That’s a yes.”
Clark smiles, then. Really smiles. All teeth and earnestness, like you’ve just handed him a lifetime supply of sunlight and told him it’s his now.
And it’s almost too much.
The good of it. The sweetness pressed up against your ribs like maybe it’s got claws, too.
But you let it stay. Let him stay.
You groan into your blanket and mutter under your breath, “God help me, I’m gonna have to make you breakfast, aren’t I?”
Clark, already half off the bed, perks up. “I like waffles.”
You sigh, dramatic. “Of course you do. That tracks.”
And that’s where you leave it, for now. With Clark in your bed and his flannel on the floor. With the hum of something that good if you let it If he stays.
things my chronically offline bf does — Clark Kent
summary: clark kent thinks tiktok means the passing of time, you're a (wannabe) influencer. what could possibly happen? answer includes but isn't limited to thirst traps, using your hot bsf to go viral, online anonymous confessions, and one really old cat named bean.
word count: 15k (insane, ik)
content warning: heavy rom-com vibes, heavy on the comedy and ridiculous. heteroerotic friendship, domestic clark & reader (they see each other naked and sleep together & so much more, they're literally disgusting), size difference, reader is a (non famous) influencer but she goes viral thanks to clark not knowing what slay means, clark and reader have no notion of privacy or boundaries around each other, they're also so stupid. heavy fluff, everything is sweet and nothing hurts. an embarrassing amount of slang and memes and tiktok mention (i apologize). this is seriously just crack. oh ALSO protective clark oh em gee i swooned writing that part. lois and jimmy act like creepy twins /aff
notes: this got out of hands, guys. ty for 1k<3 i hope you enjoy! apologies for the slightly rushed ending, i was growing tired with this behemoth of a fic
It’s common knowledge that Clark Kent and technology do not mesh well. He writes all of his drafts on paper. He takes notes on his legal pad with a pencil that he keeps losing, and he uses a cassette recorder for interviews, and he uses an actual camera for pictures. He has a phone, he has a laptop, he just— doesn’t really use them. He doesn’t know how to and doesn’t need to know more than is absolutely necessary (as in how to send emails, how to use Google and how to type his final drafts for proofing).
So anything beyond that, and he’s completely out of his depth. Put him in a complete alien civilization light years away from Earth and he would still be more at ease than if you’d asked him to make a TikTok video and, God forbid, post it.
So really, it only made sense that his best friend was an influencer. You weren’t exactly popular, and you didn’t do it for fame, you just enjoyed sharing your life with the people who stick around. You were a wizard with your phone and could turn any moment into something cinematic.
The two of you were polar opposites. He was the moon, pulled into orbit around you, and it made sense he felt so good whenever he was with you. You were the sun.
He was happy to tag along with you to any of your adventures. Trying out a new restaurant, a new club, vlogging a last-minute trip, trying out PR packages you get.
You’d always been the life of the friendship, and Clark was never afraid of being in your shadow. In fact, he reveled in it. He liked being invisible to others around you, as long as he was seen by you. It was more than finding a distraction so people didn’t look at him for too long and start getting suspicious; it definitely helped, for sure, but it was never what made him want you as his best friend. He couldn’t help it. After all, he was a sunflower. And you were the sun.
Sometimes his colleagues at The Daily Planet didn’t believe him when he talked about you to them, and gave them your username. It didn’t help that he didn’t have any social media so he couldn’t show them that you followed him back. Clark didn’t really care whether they believed him or not.
“It’s not because she has less than a thousand followers doesn’t mean your lie would be more convincing,” Jimmy said with the sageness of a monk. “She’s too pretty for you.” Then, as an afterthought, he added: “No offence, Clark.”
Clark shrugged. “None taken. I know she’s pretty.”
Lois hit Jimmy on the shoulder. “Eve is too pretty for you too but you don’t see me insulting you.”
Clark frowned. “Guys, she’s my best friend, not my girlfriend.”
Jimmy looked at him with pity in his eyes. “Lying about having a best friend is so sad… I didn’t know you were so lonely, Clark. I’ve been failing as a friend.”
Clark just rolled his eyes but didn’t try to convince him, since he didn’t seem like he wanted to be convinced.
“She would love to meet you one day,” Clark added before forgetting. He kept forgetting to. Or maybe, he just wanted to have you all to himself. He’ll never tell.
Jimmy looked at him suspiciously. “Is she just going to be a printed picture of her Instagram feed on a doll?”
Lois and Clark both ignored him.
“If she’s your best friend, she must be a really good person, then. I would love to meet her,” Lois said, before pressing on the follow button. Ding! “Oh. She followed me back already.”
“She knows about you,” Clark said. “She must have recognized you.”
“That was quick,” Lois noticed.
“Yeah,” Clark replied. “She says she’s terminally sick online or something. I never understand her when she says those Internet words.”
Jimmy’s jaw dropped. “He wasn’t lying…” he whispered to himself, mind blown. Which, honestly, he should have seen it coming. Clark was the most honest person he’d ever met. He was incapable of lying to save a life. Jimmy pressed the follow button on his phone too, as if some part of him still wasn’t convinced, and watched with quiet horror as a follow back notification popped. And he couldn’t justify it as you just following back everyone, because you only followed cat and food accounts.
Clark just thought Jimmy was being his weird self again and didn’t pay it too much attention. Honestly, he just took it as a compliment to you, which made him happy. He always felt proud and happy whenever people complimented you, as if he was an extension of you.
“Great, I will call you for the details. She’s gonna love preparing something for the four of us. She’s such a good event planner.”
Of course Clark didn’t text. Not that he didn’t want to, it was just that even the biggest phone he could get was still too tiny for his hands and it made typing a pain in the butt.
“Cool, can’t wait,” Lois said. Jimmy was just staring in the horizon.
Clark smiled. He was happy all of his favorite people were going to meet.
You were waiting for Clark at the Daily Planet’s lobby. You were taking pictures of the regular cat that became an honorary reporter at the office, more exactly.
“Hi Clark,” you brightened when you saw him.
“Hey you,” Clark replied, fondness dripping from his voice until it was sticky and sweet. “How was your day?”
“It was okay, I found this new spot we absolutely have to try together,” you replied, getting on your tiptoes despite your heels to press your lips to the edge of his mouth. Clark smiled instantly, like a switch was flipped.
Some people would say you were too obsessed with image and social media, but Clark knew you better than anyone else. Even if you weren’t an influencer, even if social media and the internet didn’t exist, you would still be the same. You would still take pictures of your day, share your meals with Clark in a spot you really liked, and you would still take video diaries.
“I can’t wait,” Clark replied. “Oh by the way, Jimmy and Lois said yes.”
With his superhearing, he heard Jimmy gasp from somewhere behind. “She’s really real. Wait, I thought he said she was his best friend? Why are they kissing?” Then the unmistakable sound of Lois slapping his shoulder.
He tuned it all out. He would get over his weird crisis later.
You grabbed his hand and dragged him away.
“Oh, yeah, I saw they followed me both. I figured you talked to them.”
Clark squeezed your smaller hand in his.
“What did they think?” you asked curiously.
“Lois said you must be a good person if you’re my best friend. Jimmy… well, I think he really liked you. He said you were way too pretty for me, whatever that means,” Clark replied earnestly.
“He’s an idiot,” you replied. “I’m not too anything for you. I’m just right for you.”
Clark nodded. “Exactly. Perfect for me.”
Clark often offered to learn about internet and what you do, but you just replied, “no it’s fine, don’t worry about it <3” (you made the heart with your hands).
You appreciated his offer, but you knew how all of this made his head turn and how hopeless he was with everything that was even remotely tech-related (don’t even get her started on microwaves and Clark). And quite frankly, you found him cute just the way he was. Like an overgrown, oversized, oblivious but eager puppy.
“You’re sleeping over tonight, right?”
You were asking as if it was a planned event, when in fact Clark wasn’t aware of this until right then and there. But Clark was nothing if not adaptable (he did get adapted to an entirely new and foreign planet when he was just a baby), and nothing if not used to you, so he took it in stride and nodded.
“Mhm,” he replied. “I’ll even make dinner if you want.”
“Deal.”
Walking to your place hand in hand had become routine early on in your friendship and one of the few things Clark would never bring himself to sacrifice. It was home away from home.
“I’m going to the gym tomorrow, you’re coming with me.”
“Okay.”
“Great.”
Clark, being who he is, didn’t need a gym, or at least not one fit for humans, but you asked, so he obeyed.
“What time?”
“Six am.”
That meant you were trying again to renew yourself and to adopt better habits and hobbies. It was something you routinely went through almost every six months. First when it’s the new year, second when it’s June, when you realized you’d been slacking off and not following your new year resolutions, and Clark became your accountability partner.
That title sounded big and full of responsibilities, but Clark didn’t really do anything, really — except show up wherever you went and gently reminded you of your commitments. When it was something really important, like taking your meds, he pressed but other than that, he let you flit through life like the butterfly you were meant to be.
Clark was awake before you, unsurprised to find you pressed against his body, sleeping deeply while holding him like you were scared he was going to flee. Well, considering he was Superman, he guessed you weren’t far off the mark.
With his free hand, he grabbed your phone to check the time since the arm he wears his watch on was currently being repurposed as a body pillow and his heart felt heavy at the thought of disturbing your sleep.
5.15AM. He woke up early, but not too early. Just in time to wake you up so you could enjoy your ‘free time with Clark. That’s what you called cuddling up with him and talking about your dreams before you both had to leave the bed.
“Psst,” he whispered against the crown of your head. “Morning, sleepyhead.”
“No,” you grumbled.
He chuckled softly. “What about your free time with me?”
“Mhmhmhmmm…” you mumbled before shifting position until you were actually cuddling him. “‘m awake,” you said.
He didn’t doubt you. He just thinks that you’re also asleep at the same time.
The both of you stayed like this for half an hour, Clark rubbing his thumb mindlessly on your arm, a quiet and gentle smile on his face while he listened to you ramble about your dream.
“You dreamt I was Batman?” he asked incredulously, swallowing back the laughter that overcame him. “Sweetheart, I’m literally already my own superhero, why would you dream of me as someone else?”
“I don’t know, Clark,” you replied and he didn’t need to look at your face to know you were rolling your eyes. “I didn’t do anything. I was quite literally just a spectator. Don’t shoot the messenger and all that.”
“You’re right. How could I forget you were literally incapable of wrong doing?”
“Mhm,” you hummed. “Better not forget next time.”
You fell back to sleep at six am on the dot. Clark tried to wake you up and remind you of your plans but you declined all attempts with the smooth dexterity of a politician deflecting questions.
“Sleeping with you is its own workout anyway,” he muttered to himself.
Clark quickly left you when he heard someone call for Superman but he came back before you woke up, which didn’t actually say anything about how long he took, since your sleep schedule was as predictable as a string of letters typed by a thousand monkeys on a typewriter.
He was under the shower when you finally woke up and barged in through the bathroom without a care in the world.
“I’m sleepy,” you tell him while peeing.
“Hi sleepy, I’m Clark,” Clark replied while showering.
You chucked the entire roll of TP at him and Clark didn’t even try to avoid it, even though he definitely could have. (You loved Clark dearly, but his dad jokes when you just woke up were unforgivable.)
Morning you was the best kind of you, and it was nice to know that your grumpiness didn’t do anything to erase your lack of privacy, because invasive you was also the best kind of you.
It’s not like there’s anything you didn’t already see.
(To be fair though, you didn’t just start barging in on him when he was naked without a care for his consent, it just… happened.
First it started with you walking in on him changing boxers, dick and everything out. Then it was him accidentally walking on you under the shower (honestly, how he didn’t realize you were under there with all of his gazillion superpowers was beyond the two of you). And then again, you walk in on him because you keep forgetting that Clark’s at your place more often than not, and then after that Clark accidentally used his super vision on you because he thought you were injured.
So you sat him down one day and asked if he minded whenever either of you accidentally sees the other naked and he replied ‘no’, so you asked, ‘would you mind if it wasn’t accidental? Not exactly on purpose but just… not caring at all?’ and he said ‘no’, and you said ‘okay, by the way you have a big shlong’ and that’s basically how it started (after teaching Clark what shlong meant.
Clark only regrets his decision when it’s early in the morning and his hormones are raging and you’re changing in front of him like no one’s watching.)
He was out of the shower by the time you were brushing your teeth.
“You’re not vlogging this morning?” he asked, feeling that same rush of pride he felt whenever he used one of the words you taught him, towel wrapped around his middle. His hair was wet and curled and doing all kinds of swoopy woopy things. His chest was glistening and dripping with water.
“I wanted to but I also didn’t want you to steal my thunder with your naked cameo,” you replied with a floss string between your two front teeth. “Although you would have definitely made me go viral.”
“Ah, my bad,” he replied humorously. “I’ll try to be less… hot under the shower next time.”
You threw the used floss in the bin. “I don’t think that’s possible, unfortunately.”
Clark blushed and the redness followed him right to his neck and collarbones.
You grinned toothily at him so he could inspect your teeth. He grabbed your chin between his index and thumb, and used his thumb to push your lower lip lower. “Mhm…” he hums thoughtfully. “Perfectly flossed. You get a star. Doctors from around the world want you as their client.”
“Yay! Thanks, Clark!”
His lips broke into a happy grin. “You’re welcome. You know, it’s not too late to go to the gym now.”
“I was hoping you wouldn’t say that,” you said. “My past self was crazy. I don’t associate with the likes of her anymore.”
“I see, your past self is being cancelled. Right?”
You burst out laughing before petting the top of his head. “God, I love you Clark. Never change.”
You ended up going to the gym anyway, dressed in your “cuntiest” outfits to “serve” (to serve what? Clark thought you quit being a server a year ago), but all you did was point at things and ask Clark if he could max them all out. Of course he could, and you knew he could, but you asked for a demonstration anyway.
Then, because seeing him succeed flawlessly at every machine (and after attracting every “gym bro” in the vicinity who started asking Clark about powders and training regimen and whatnot, and lowkey looked impressed when Clark replied earnestly to the question of how he became so strong with “By being kind and respectful to everyone”), you decided he now had to do pushups with you sitting crisscross applesauce on top of him.
“But why?”
“I’ve always wanted to know what it felt like to be a barbell,” you replied.
“I think you mean plate, sweetheart.”
“Same difference,” you replied. And of course, Clark was totally convinced.
“Do you mind if I take pictures?” you asked him once you were sitting on him and he was laying on the floor, shirt off.
“You know I don’t,” he replied. He didn’t need to remind you not to post his face anywhere because he trusted you implicitly.
And then he started the pushups with complete ease, because there was no better way for him to spend his day-offs than to go to the gym with your best friend and use her as additional weight.
You took plenty of pictures; some you called aesthetically pleasing and “would do well in tumblr”, others you said were just silly and for fun.
You showed him the pictures while still on his back, your arms on each side of his neck as you scrolled through the pictures for him while he stayed in an isotonic contraction (his muscles didn’t even flail, and it took you almost fifteen minutes to show him everything because you annotated each one.)
“I really like this one,” Clark said, lifting a hand from the floor to point at a picture, still lifting your weight with only one arm.
The picture he picked was one where he looked at the mirror in front of you, and he was obviously looking at you, while you were making a silly face that wasn’t really silly, because it made you look devastatingly pretty. You were also flexing your left arm, winking and tugging your tongue at the camera.
“Solid choice,” you replied, tapping something on the screen. “Definitely one of my favorites too.”
He smiled happily, and then remembered they were in public and he shouldn’t be showing off his strength so much, as much as he wanted to impress you.
So, he pretended to have his muscles locking and asked you to get off, in case anyone was watching. You were always up for a bit of acting with him. You said it made you feel like the sidekick of a hot spy in a film noir.
Clark hung in the side while you took a video of yourself rambling to the camera — he was tall enough that he didn’t worry about his face being caught on camera, but the camera could still pick up your interlaced hands from the angle you held the camera. People would only be able to see his arm swinging and the beginning of his legs.
You were talking about going to the gym and how you earned a big meal after it (though if you asked Clark, he would say you should never feel like you have to earn a meal, and that you could eat anything anytime you wanted if it made you happy).
You set up the phone against the wall so it could take a video of you and the table. Clark was sat across from you, and again, wasn’t visible at all. Not even your face fully showed. Just the bottom half of your face. Your hands did most of the talking as you animated your stories with a floating burger.
The camera captured Clark’s hand across the table, wiping the side of your mouth with a thumb, and your pleased, bashful smile after.
It captured you stealing fries from Clark’s plate, and then Clark sharing half of his fries with you.
It captured your laughter, and then your lips as they moved to form the words: I love you, Clark.
(When you finally uploaded the video to YouTube a while later, people commented:
‘am I the only one who felt like a third wheel throughout the video? I loved it though. Always wanted to be the third to a hot couple’
‘God I see the things you do for others’
‘Guys ik she said he was just her best friend but I’m seriously having doubts rn. Maybe she meant it as in best boyfriend?’
‘You’re so pretty!!!!!! And your bf looks so hot too. Definitely my fav power couple of youtube’
Which then pushed your videos to more people.
You read all of the comments to Clark while he was writing down notes for his next article. His thoughts? “I think they really liked the video. I’m happy for you, sweetheart.”)
You picked a nice coffee shop downtown for your first meeting with Lois and Jimmy. Jimmy couldn’t look you in the eyes in shame.
“I’m so sorry I doubted Clark’s ability to have pretty friends,” he said, before getting elbowed by Lois in the ribs.
“Excuse my friend. He’s a dumbass.”
You took it in stride. You loved them and they loved you. Jimmy helped you take the perfect pictures for your picture dump, Lois and you talked about fashion, and Clark was happy to just step back and watch as three of his five favorite people get along so well.
“How did you guys meet?” Lois asked curiously. She’d been eyeing the way you were both sitting so close to each other it bordered on lap sitting.
“He mistook me for a scarecrow,” you replied.
“We were childhood friends.”
“Clark I love you, but for a journalist you’re really bad at hooking people in,” Lois said. “As for your best friend, she was clearly made to hook people in.”
Clark was too happy to even feel offended, and just let you tell the story. The insult flew right over his head.
It wasn’t anything grand. Clark was in the fields with his parents when he noticed a figure almost his height in the distance, and ran towards it. It was you, standing still with your arms outstretched.
He ran back to his parents and asked if they put a new scarecrow in the fields that looked like a little girl.
Jo and Ma looked at each other concerned before setting off to find this little scarecrow girl.
And the rest was history.
“I still don’t know what you were doing,” Clark confessed at the end of your story. “You won’t tell me.”
You shrugged. “Because I am aloof and mysterious.”
“This raised more questions than it answered,” Jimmy said with a faraway look on his face.
“Good,” you and Clark said at the same time.
“Your friends are really nice. Maybe I should become a journalist too and then become your colleague. That would be so much fun,” you told him after quitting Jimmy and Lois. “What do you think?” You took a sip of your Oreo milkshake you got for take-out.
Clark smiled. “I think you just can’t get enough of me,” he said.
You squeezed his hand. “Yeah, you’re right. I won’t even try to lie.”
He laughed.
He had never realized how his friendship with you could be seen as strange until you were both in college and everyone on campus the two of you were dating. It was common knowledge around all of the campus that you and Clark were the it couple. Even in high school, you’d been both voted prom queen and king, even though you both didn’t even know you were participating. Clark didn’t regret it though, because he got to wear a crown alongside with you and dance. It was one of his fondest memories with you.
“Friends don’t act like that,” people would say. No one would ever be able to understand the bond you two have, so he doesn’t bother replying or trying to explain. Besides, what you have between the two of you was special, and he wanted to keep it that way.
But Clark supposed there was some part of truth to that. Lois and Jimmy were his best friends too, but he would never cuddle in a bed with them, as much as he loved them. He also wouldn’t even dream of letting them peck him on the lips, or, God forbid, walk in on him under the shower.
If this friendship was considered weird, then he was happy to be weird with you. Besides, nothing he could ever do would be weirder than being an actual alien pretending to be human. Or stumbling through your window into your apartment, jaw dislocated and nose bleeding.
“Clark? Is that you?” you called out from the kitchen.
He closed his eyes. Coming here was a bad idea, because he hated the thought of worrying you, but there was also nowhere else in the world he would rather be. “Yeah,” he replied, voice distorted because of his jaw. He heard you close the lid on a sauce pan and wipe your hands on a kitchen towel before hearing the soft pads of your feet walking into the living room.
“Hey, what did I say about tracking blood and mud in my apartment?”
Your words sounded mad but your voice betrayed your worry. You dropped the kitchen towel and reached him in quick strides. He was sitting on the floor against the wall, and you fell on your knees, hands hovering over his jaw, unsure whether you could touch him in this state.
“Sorry,” Clark replied. “Will remember for next time.”
“There won’t be a next time because you’re going to stop letting bad guys hit you, okay?”
He laughed, even if it hurt to. Of course you said it as if it was that easy. It wasn’t, but Clark would make it so.
“Stop laughing at me,” you chided, even as you inspected his nose. “It doesn’t look broken, so that’s good.”
“It healed on the way here. Perks of being Superman.”
“Stop acting like nothing’s wrong or I’ll break your nose myself, and I’ll make sure your healing factor is too busy to handle your nose first.”
“Wow,” he said. “Such violence coming from such a tiny little human.”
You grabbed his jaw without a warning and snapped it back into place.
“Golly, woman! Warn a guy first, will you?” he yelped indignifyingly, rubbing his smarting jaw, before moving it left and right to make sure it was still working. He didn’t need to worry because you were a professional by now, ever since you were both fourteen and you started playing nurse for a Clark who was discovering his powers and trying each day a new way to test his abilities.
“If I warned you, you would never be ready,” you replied, and Clark smiled sheepishly at that. You were right. Despite him being the strongest human on Earth, his pain tolerance was subpar, and he always chickened out before anything like that. Usually, you would at least fake a countdown. “And besides, that’s what you get for making fun of me.”
He pouted. “I’m sorry baby,” he said, batting his eyelashes at you.
“Ugh! This is so unfair,” you groaned, before bending at his height and pressing your lips against his pout in a quick peck. “I hate you.”
“I love you too,” Clark replied, not in the least bit remorseful for guilt-tripping you, basking in the bliss of the feeling of your lips against his, as fleeting as it was.
You pinched his bruised nose and stood back up.
“Ow, ow, ow!”
“Don’t even try to talk to me for the next five minutes. I’ll be too busy hating you.”
He was behind you before the five minutes even were up, wrapping his arms around your waist, still pouting. “Why are you so mean to me?” he asked, cheek pressed against the top of your head. He was still in his dirty Superman suit; he hadn’t even taken off his boots yet.
You were trying really hard to ignore him. It was funny, and Clark couldn’t keep up the wounded act any longer. His shoulders were shaking with barely suppressed mirth.
“Message received, baby. I’ll let you be for five minutes. In fact, I’ll let you be for thirty minutes.”
He used that time to clean up the mess he’d left behind (superheroing wasn’t a clean job) and finally take a shower. He tried not to notice how you kept pretending you forgot something in the bathroom while he was showering. First, it was your glasses, which you hadn’t even found, then you had to check a pimple on your face, and then it was your makeup, which you needed to retouch.
“You know,” he said, voice barely heard over the sound of the stream of water. “I’m starting to think you’re just finding any excuses to come check on me.”
You shot him a dark look. “You said you weren’t going to bother me for thirty minutes.”
“I’m not bothering you, but you are bothering me.”
He realized his mistake before the words even finished leaving his mouth. You gasped.
“See if I ever bother you again,” you said, turning on your heels.
Clark groaned, before shutting the water off and grabbing a towel to wrap around his hips and chased after you, dripping water everywhere but unable to care because he just wanted to catch before you locked yourself in your room (and coincidentally blocking him from getting his clothes) and started listening to heartbreak songs at full volume.
“Nooo,” he whined, “you know I love it when you bother me! Please don’t ever stop!”
“Nuh uh,” you replied, escaping his hand narrowly.
“Oh come on, are you really going to sulk at me for that? And why were you so mean to me anyway? Ever since I got here, you were being grumpy, which, don’t get me wrong, I love it, but I don’t understand why, did I do something wrong?”
“Oh I don’t know, maybe it’s the fact that you were injured again as Superman, you don’t take it seriously when I’m worried, you make fun of me when I tell you to be more careful, and you tracked blood everywhere! You know I hate blood! Stupid blood! And your blood isn’t even normal, it’s alien blood!”
You still didn’t stop walking but now the two of you were walking in circles until you were the one chasing him now. It was a ridiculous sight, but it wasn’t an unusual occurrence at your household.
“Wait, what do you mean by alien blood?”
“Your blood doesn’t come off easily, you know that! Remember when I was trying to scrub your blood out of the rug and I kept mixing any chemicals I could find and accidentally made chloroform?”
Clark felt silly for entertaining for even one second the terrifying thought that you thought of him differently, and his shoulders dropped. He stopped walking. And he did remember that time. Of course he did. He’d been sick with worry his muscles had locked in place for a few seconds before he finally spurred into action and got you to a safe place with fresh air and threw away everything else before it did more damage.
He’d made you sleep over at his place for a week to make sure the smell had completely left the apartment.
“Baby, I’m sorry, I know you hate blood, but I really wasn’t thinking straight, and I just wanted to see you, and it made everything else disappear. It’s not an excuse however, and I apologize for it. And I’m also sorry for not taking you seriously when you’re worried about me, it’s just… I’m not laughing at you, it’s just… it’s really sweet how you’re always so worried about me, and you always get so endearing when you lecture me, I just can’t help myself.”
You sniffed. “Okay, fine. I forgive you. And I’m sorry for being so mean to you today. It’s not really because of you. I’m just so irritated these days and lashing out makes me feel better, even though I shouldn’t.”
Clark’s heart instantly broke at your small voice, and gathered you in his arms. “No need to apologize, sweetheart. I gave you a good reason to get annoyed at me, it was my fault.”
“It’s always your fault,” you mumbled, voice muffled by his chest.
He snorted through his nose, unable to help himself. “Yes, baby. It’s always my fault, and I’m sorry.”
“Mhm, and you’re taking me out tonight.”
“Okay, baby. Anything you want.”
There was a comfortable silence before you said, “I think your towel just fell.”
Clark couldn’t look at you for the rest of the day without going as red as his cape in the face and you laughing at him every single time.
“It was time it happened, you know? It’s just the natural course of events.”
You pretended it was fine, but Clark could tell you were embarrassed a little too and that knowledge comforted him a little.
You were laughing at him again. Because he just took out his pocket notebook from his backpocket so he could make a note out of something he wanted to look up later. And he had a tiny pencil that came with it.
“You’re so—” you shook your head.
“An old soul?” Clark offered helpfully as he closed his notebook and slid it back in his pocket.
“Chronically offline, I was going to say, and it’s crazy how even your words reflect how chronically offline you are.”
Clark smiled. He liked it when you teased him, because it meant you liked him, even if he had ten billion other proofs that you liked him.
“I’m going to say words and you’re going to say the first thing that comes to mind, okay?”
“Let’s do it.”
He moved his upper body so that he could fully face you, giving you all of his attention.
“Serve.”
“Tennis.”
“Eat.”
“Food.”
“Slay.”
“Dragons.”
“Flop.”
“Flip flop.”
“Tik Tok.”
“Clock.”
Your face got progressively red as you tried not to burst out laughing.
“Do you know what rizz means?”
“Uh… not really, but I remember Lois telling Jimmy she didn’t understand how he got so much rizz. Is it… freckles? He has a lot of freckles.”
You broke into laughter. “Oh you’re so cute, Clark. I just want to eat you up. In a soup. Like wonton soup but it’s Clark soup.”
“Thank… you?”
“You’re welcome, babe.”
Clark Kent was a mild-mannered, soft-spoken, respectful young man. It’s a truth universally acknowledged. Despite his stature and his size, no one had ever seen him use it in a way to cause harm rather than help. Sure, they’d seen him climb on top of a tree to save a kitten, help lift things from one floor to another, but they’d never seen him use that strength against someone else.
And no one ever will. Not even you. Clark takes great mesures to make sure that it stays that way. He’ll do anything to protect you from anything that could upset you and if it’s truly important, he won’t tell you about it. Why would he ruin your day when he was perfectly capable of handling everything? He was happy to handle everything else while you were busy enjoying yourself, like now.
You weren’t even drunk — you hated alcohol and besides, Clark couldn’t get drunk either so it wouldn’t be fun for him to be the only one sober — but you were feeling the music, and talking to someone, looking gorgeous and in your element in your dress. You looked stunning. Not just because your dress was pretty — though it was — but because you were radiating with joy. You loved going out and having fun and dancing to a music that reverberated deep in your ribcage.
“Hi Clark!” you screamed over the music, even if he could have easily heard you mumble it ten feet away in the middle of fireworks. “You having fun?”
“I am,” he called back.
You grabbed him by his hands and tugged him against you. “Come on, let’s dance.”
“Oh, no, you know I don’t do any of that.”
You snorted. “If it’s just because you’re embarrassed of your dance moves, I won’t judge, I promise. I’ve already seen them all anyway.”
“It’s not that…” he countered weakly. It was exactly that. His gracefulness as Superman unfortunately did not translate to when he was Clark Kent, and coupled with his height and size, he was an actual public hazard. He didn’t want to accidentally bump into someone or, God forbid, step on your feet. He knew you wouldn’t care, but he did, and it made him feel bad.
You huffed. “Fine. I’m gonna go dance with that hot guy over there, then. He’s been trying to talk to me for like an hour but since I thought you were going to dance with me… anyway, it’s his lucky day, bye Clarkie,” you said, before sauntering over to the guy who, Clark had to admit, was attractive.
He watched you talk with him with an unnamed feeling in the pit of his stomach, and he forced himself to take a sip of his water. Maybe he should have gone with you.
But then you were back already, not even ten minutes later. You said you just didn’t “vibe” with him, but Clark suspected it was because you missed him.
“Let’s go home,” he whispered against the crown of your head. “I was getting tired anyway.”
“Bollocks,” you replied in a fake posh accent. “You never get tired.”
He hummed. “True. I just wanted to go home with you.”
“Then let’s go home.”
The streets of Metropolis were half-lit. It was a Friday night in the summer so everyone was still out, despite the late hour. He had your hand in his and you were skipping on the pavement, heels clicking, arm swinging.
He loved you best when you were like this. Happy and blissful and totally unaware of the rest of the world, because you trusted him to have your back, even if you weren’t entirely aware of the many ways he’s had your back.
“I hate the subway,” you muttered, scanning your metro card against the reader.
“Well, you refuse to fly you home, and also walk home so,” Clark replied patiently.
“Should have taken a taxi.”
“And complain about how it’s expensive all the way home?”
“You know, Clark, I don’t think I appreciate how much you know me. Maybe it’s time we start putting some distance between the two of us.”
Clark didn’t need to reply, he merely looked down at the way you were literally pressed against him until there was not a single inch of space left between the two of you.
“Shut up,” you grumbled.
The subway was full despite the late hour so the both of you had to keep standing. Well, Clark had to, but you leaned against him, putting most of your weight against him. He loved it.
It happened when there were only five stops left.
You were rambling to Clark about something even you wasn’t sure about it, when Clark noticed the man behind you who had been trying to get closer for the past five minutes.
His reaction was swift but controlled. Making sure your attention was elsewhere, namely fixating on the bright lights announcing the stations left, he grabbed the man’s wrist in a tight enough grip that it was uncomfortable, but not tight enough to break anything — yet.
“Hey, baby, can you explain to me what Instagram again?” he asked you, voice soft and sweet.
“Again?! You do realize it’s been—“
He tuned you out, not out of malice, just so he could focus his energy into the man who thought sticking his phone underneath your skirt was a good idea.
The man’s eyes looked up in unwarranted anger, ready to yell at whoever dared touch him, but it quickly switched into fear once he saw the stony expression on Clark’s face — and the height and muscle he had on him.
Clark knew he shouldn’t, but he squeezed his grip tighter until his super hearing could pick up the sound of his joints creasing against each other.
“Are you even listening to me, Clark? This is your problem, because you say you want to understand but then you always zone out even before I even start.”
“Sorry darling, there’s just a… bug that’s been bothering me.”
“Silly, just swat it away, and then give me your full attention.”
Clark grinned, and twisted the man’s wrist until it sprained. Just enough to make him second guess himself next time he tried to pull this stunt again — to you or any other unsuspecting girl who may not have Superman by their side. The phone dropped and Clark ‘accidentally’ stepped on it.
“Perfect idea, my smart girl.”
The rest of the ride home went without any other problem, but Clark still couldn’t for the life of him understand what Instagram was.
You passed out in bed before Clark even took off his pants.
He sighed at the sight, but without any real annoyance. He supposed your clothes were comfortable enough to sleep in, but he gathered your makeup wipes from the bathroom.
You mumbled something intelligible when the mattress dipped underneath his weight as he crossed a leg on the bed and sat down, and he smiled. Even unconscious, you were endearing.
He poured some product in the cotton before he wiped your face with it gently. He did the same with another cotton wipe and focused on your eyes this time, removing the mascara and eyeliner he loved so much that made your eyes look even bigger and shinier.
He threw everything away and then got into bed behind you. Sleep had never felt sweeter than when he slept with you in his arms.
Things my chronically offline bsf does
“What’s this?” Clark asked, blinking at the screen you just shoved in his face as if you were afraid he was going to somehow miss the glowing bright box. He was drinking his glass of milk when you walked in the kitchen in a flurry of excitement.
“It’s an idea for a TikTok,” you explained. It probably explained it for most people, but it only left Clark even more puzzled. He knows you explained it to him, multiple times, but he keeps forgetting.
“What’s bee-ess-eff?”
“Best friend. It’s you. You’re my chronically offline best friend. I think the world needs to know about this.”
“Uh… sure?” He wasn’t sure why the world needed to know the things he did, but he wasn’t one to not show you support whenever he can, so he went along with it. “What sort of things do I do?”
“Take notes on an actual notepad.”
“That’s normal, why would they care?”
“You use physical maps.”
“They’re fabricated for a reason!”
You ignored him again. “You print recipes instead of following them on your laptop. Wait, let me correct that. You ask me to print you the recipes because you still haven’t figured it out.”
He blushed at that. “But it’s just so much easier that way! I like having everything I need right in front of me. I don’t want to have to scroll or zoom in or whatever else it is.”
“Mhm,” you replied, unconvinced. “I still think it makes for a really funny TikTok video, so. I’m posting it.”
“Well… okay. Sure. Maybe someone in the comment section will explain to me why it’s so funny.”
You snorted. “I love you, Clark.”
He brightened up, confusion leaving his face. This, he knew. This, he was used to. “I love you, sweetheart. Let me know when you upload it. I want to read comments with you.”
The TikTok was forgotten for a bit. Life got in the way, you got distracted by other shinier, newer, better things, and it was deadline season for Clark, and crime seemed to have multiplied overnight.
So, it wasn’t long before he and you finally got to reading the comments.
“Clark, you’re a famous man,” you preamble.
He paused mid-slurp of his chicken noodles. “Huh?”
“The video blew up.”
Clark instantly looked concerned. “What? Are you okay?”
“Yes, silly. It means the video went viral.”
“It went where?”
“Ugh! Whatever. You’re famous. I got like 35k comments.”
Clark knew what going viral meant. He was just being a little jerk, and you were so used to him being actually that obtuse that the joke flew right over your head.
But the number made him pause. “That many? Where do these people come from?”
“All around the world. Do you want me to read the comments for you or not?”
Clark placed his chopsticks down and stapled his fingers, as if he was getting ready for an important meeting. “Let’s hear it.”
You cleared your throat, readying yourself to start reading some sort of royal decree. “Him having the actual notepad from old iPhone noteapp is taking me out.”
Clark was frowning, not upset, just trying to understand. “Okay, but where is my notepad taking them out?”
“Do you actually want to know or do you prefer living in bliss?”
“Uh… is it bad?”
“No, I just don’t know if you want to preserve your ignorance.”
“Oh. Explain this one. I’m intrigued.”
You did, and he cracked a smile when he finally got it. You kept reading him some comments, explaining them when needed.
“Someone said, this is the only person who would probably survive a nuclear fallout.”
You snorted at that one, knowing that the commenter couldn’t possibly realize just how close to the truth they were.
“How did they know?”
“It’s a figure of speech, honey.”
“Oh. Okay, next one.”
“I am lowkey jealous of him. I bet he is happy and healthy and has clear skin.”
“Could you reply to them?”
“Yeah. What do you want to say?”
“Tell them that if they have questions about how I live, they can ask me. Or I guess, direct message you.”
“If I do that, everyone will flood my DMs but fine. The things I do for you… okay, done. Next. Bet he pays all his bills by check too with a crying emoji.”
Clark frowned. “Why are they sad? Did I make them sad?”
“A crying emoji is basically laughter, don’t worry.”
“Weird. Next.”
“This guy’s got the world’s cleanest internet footprint. Even rainbolt wouldn’t be able to find him.”
“Who’s rainbolt?”
“A dude who’s really good at finding locations in the world with the tiniest picture.”
“Oh.”
Sometime between the first comment and the last one, you’d ended up on his lap, and he’d leaned back against his chair to give you more space.
“What is this one?”
“I hope he knows he’s iconic,” you read out loud.
“Oh. That’s really sweet. I am iconic, thank you. But so are you.”
You smiled, pleased before bursting into laughter. “Oh you’re gonna hate this.”
“Uh oh. Lay it on me.”
“Chronically offline but chronically FINE,” you said, barely able to read it with a straight face. “I should have known people were going to lose their mind over you.”
“I’m fine? As in, nice to look at?”
“Yes, honey. They’re saying you’re hot.”
“Oh. How many of them?”
“That comment alone got fifty thousand likes.”
“Gosh. The Internet is a scary place.”
You kept reading comments, giggling to yourself.
He can write me a letter any time.
I would learn how to use a rotary phone for him.
I’m getting a pigeon just so he can start sending me letters.
“Unlucky for them, you’re all mine.”
Clark smiled, pleased and smug. That’s right. He was yours.
You started including him more in your TikToks, partly because people demanded more of him, but mostly because you enjoyed doing things with him.
You posted another one:
things my bsf does for me because he’s just built like that
Ever since they met, Clark had just felt more inclined to do things for you. He was raised that way, yeah, but it was more than that.
Clark didn’t think there was any door he’d let you open when he was around. Paying for you had always been second nature to him, just like kissing your forehead whenever he was happy. Holding your hands started out because you wanted to hold his hand, but he kept the habit. Now he couldn’t go anywhere with you without holding your hand.
If anyone asked why, he wasn’t sure he would be able to explain why. He just felt like it. Just like walking on the side of the road, or gently guiding you with a hand to the small of your back.
He didn’t see anything out of the ordinary in the things you picked, but somehow the internet had a lot of things to say about it. Surprisingly, they were all nice.
May this kind of friendship kidnap me (What?!)
Is someone going to tell them? (Tell them what?)
I don’t think they’re aware they’re dating. (Clark would like to believe that he would know whether he was dating someone or not.)
THEY SLEEP TOGETHER?!? (Yeah? How else would they cuddle then?)
I feel so bad for their partners. (Clark and you haven’t dated anyone ever, so the worry was appreciated but unwarranted.)
I’m struggling to find a good bf because girls like her are hoarding the good men (What?)
Girl you’re living the life. Where can I find me a man like that? (In corn fields.)
THAT SHOULD BE ME… holding your hand (Oh! Clark recognizes that song.)
Clark didn’t say anything as you wedged your head between his arm and forearm, using it as a sort of prop, only watched in confusion as you took a picture of it using the reflection on the train’s windows.
“It’s for my collection,” you helpfully added.
Your collection of pictures of the two of you. Picture of your hand against his, another one of you flexing your arm next to his relaxed biceps, his hand wrapped around your waist. He never really understood why, but he didn’t need to understand it to feel a sort of understated satisfaction and pride at the sight of the two of you together, your difference in size so pronounced. When asked about it, you merely said ‘Tumblr’s gonna go crazy’ as if it explained everything.
Clark didn’t know who Tumblr was, but he felt bad for them.
But like anything else that you did or said, Clark didn’t need to understand it to support it.
During lunch break, Clark was swamped by Lois and Jimmy who stood over his desk like two very nosy sentinels.
“Did you see your best friend’s new post?”
Clark clicked out of a tab before peering up at his two other best friends through his thick glasses. “Uh… she didn’t show me anything, so I wasn’t aware she uploaded something new. Why? Did she?”
“Oh no,” Lois said, way too normally. “We, uh, we were just wondering if she was going to post something soon.”
“Yeah, we became huge fans. We can’t get enough of her posts,” Jimmy supplied.
Clark beamed. “Oh, that’s really sweet. She’s going to be so happy hearing that. I’ll definitely let you guys know if she ever wants to post something new on the TikTok.”
“Cool, cool,” Jimmy said in his usual shifty way.
“Wanna go out for lunch with us?” Lois asked.
“Uh… sure,” Clark replied with a nod. You were busy that day, so it wasn’t like he had anything planned with you.
Clark wasn’t much of a talker. Around his loved ones, he preferred listening. He couldn’t get enough of it.
Jimmy was talking about his latest date with Eve, a really sweet girl who kind of reminded Clark of you, because she was an influencer too.
Lois talked about her latest investigation against Luthorcorp. You could take her out of the office but you couldn’t take the journalism out of Lois. It’s how Lois and him had become friends when Clark first joined the Daily Planet.
“How are things with her?” she asked once the conversation trailed off and Clark smiled, always happy to talk about you.
“Good, we’re actually going to the movies tonight. I can’t wait.”
Lois slurped loudly on her Oreo milkshake.
“The new horror movie?” Jimmy asked. “Eve and I went to see it last week. It was really good but I think Eve forgot she had her own seat.” He rolled his eyes.
“Eve deserves so much better,” Lois sighed longingly.
“Hey! You said you weren’t gonna say stuff like that to me!”
Lois shrugged. “I lied.”
Clark watched them bicker happily. Weirdly enough, it reminded him of his own parents bickering together.
Clark raised a brow at your look. “Lazy night tonight?”
You were dressed in Clark’s old hoodie that still hung loosely on you and a pair of sweatpants (not his, unfortunately), and your hair was tied haphazardly into a bun. “Mhm,” you grunted. “I looked at my closet and it looked back at me and then I stared back and I realized I was way too lazy tonight to dress up properly. So, you get this.”
“Well, not that you asked, but I still think you’re gorgeous like this. Actually, I think I like you better like this, wearing my shirt.”
“Possessive much, huh?”
Clark rubbed the back of his hand with a sheepish smile. “Ah, well…”
Clark liked going to the cinema with you. He liked buying you overpriced snacks just because you loved them, and he loved it when you inevitably get tired mid-showing and lay your head against his shoulder. Or when you grow bored with the movie and start playing with his hand instead, sending shivers down his spine when you caress the back of his hand with a feather-light touch.
“This movie is so lame,” you grumbled, hand digging into Clark’s popcorn.
Most of all, he just loved you. Even when you were being a harsh critic.
Clark’s eyes crinkled as he laughed. “It’s a children’s movie, sweetheart. What did you expect?” he whispered back.
“Even kids deserve quality! They need to watch good movies at the earliest so that they learn to appreciate good cinema.”
Clark snorted. He usually tried not to be so noisy in the cinema but the room was filled with approximately twenty children who were all screaming or crying or making some sort of noise. His snort flew under the radar.
“Have you always been this passionate about children movie?”
“I was a child once too, Clark. This is very important to me.”
Clark barely resisted the urge to grab your hand, buttery and salty, and press a kiss to it.
Clark cannot exist without you, but Clark thinks that you could exist without him, you just choose not to.
“Clark,” you said one day, phone in one hand and Clark’s arm in the other. “My favorite bubble tea shop is offering free drinks for couples on Valentine’s day. We have to go.”
Clark knew that bubble tea was your favorite, so it was easy to agree. “I’m not sure they count best friends as couples, though.”
“Oh Clark, you dummy. We’re going to go there as a couple. I got us matching outfits. We’re going to be the cutest couple ever.”
Clark heard matching outfits and his heart hammered inside his chest. He was no stranger to matching outfits. It was you, after all, who introduced them to him.
It had started out small: friendship bracelets, then necklaces, then clay rings they made together.
Then one day you’d come across matching beanies and bought them on an impulse, because they made you think of him. Clark had really loved the beanie. His was red and blue, because of course it was. Yours had been pink and black.
From then on, there were no more limits to what you would consider matching. You’d even made him exchange sim cards holders so that yours became black and his pink.
A full matching outfit had always been the next natural course of action.
“Wouldn’t that be… lying?” he said, smiling sheepishly. As much as he loved the idea of wearing matching outfits with you and helping you get free boba, he wasn’t so sure he wanted to help you commit fraud.
“Clark, think about it. We regularly go on date together. Your toothbrush is next to mine in my bathroom. We celebrate anniversaries. We sleep in the same bed. These are all things couples do.”
“Yeah? But we’re not a couple.”
“They don’t have to know that! We’ll just let the facts speak for themselves.”
“Well…”
Clark Kent was about to commit fraud in the name of love friendship.
You got your free drinks because nothing could stand in the way between you and your favorite drinks with pearl shaped tapioca inside.
“Hey, Kat,” you said, greeting the cashier by name as if you guys were long lost friends. “Can you help me out?”
Kat had a confused smile, but she also looked intrigued. “Sure?”
You hook a thumb towards Clark. “He’s been sleeping in my bed for close to a year now, and he makes me breakfast every day, but he refuses to believe we’re dating.”
Clark’s entire face went beet red with sheer embarrassment. “H-Hey!”
Your grin could put to shame the Cheshire cat’s smile.
Kat snickered. “Oh boy, he’s got it bad, isn’t he?”
You showed her your matching clay rings. “Look at this. We made them together ten years ago. And now because he refuses to admit we’re together, I won’t be able to get my free drink.”
Kat’s eyes went big, before looking at Clark like he was really dumb. “Is he blind?” she asked you while looking at him.
“Well, they do say that love makes you blind.”
Oh you were good, and you were such a menace, and Clark wasn’t sure his face was ever going to be able to go back to a normal shade after this.
“Was this really necessary?”
“No, not really,” you admitted, taking a large sip from your straw. Your drink was pink, because of course it was. It’s Valentine’s day, after all. “But it was fun. And I technically didn’t say lie.”
“You’re going to be the death of me,” he whimpered.
“You love me.”
“I do. Unfortunately for me.”
“What was that?”
“Nothing, sweetheart. Enjoy your drinks. They’re tainted with the taste of my mortification.”
“Yummy. Extra delicious.”
Contrary to popular belief, Clark Kent was a menace too. He just hid it really well, and only let it show around you.
It was stupid, really. He came across a joke store and he went inside for some reason. He thought he would find something silly or cute for you. Maybe matching disguises.
But then he found a disturbingly realistic cockroach and before he knew it, he was out of the store with a bag and three dollars missing from his wallet.
He already felt so guilty, but also very excited.
Clark was pretty humans all over the globe, metahuman or not, had been able to hear your scream when you noticed the cockroach right next to your eyes.
“Clark!”
Your first scream was one of fear.
Another thing about Clark Kent was that he had a terrible poker face. It’s why you loved playing poker against him.
But it also meant that he was the worst at playing pranks, because guilt always showed on his face. Ergo, you knew instantly.
“Clark!”
Your second one was of anger and Clark smiled, ducking his head to the side. “Good morning?”
“Oh Clark, I hate you.”
But Clark didn’t need his enhanced vision to see the way your lips quirked up as you struggled to not smile.
“Are you free Friday night?” you asked him, peeking your head inside the bathroom where Clark was showering. Thankfully he was only showering and not doing anything else.
“Uh, sweetheart, you know I’m always free Friday nights,” he said, wiping a hand over his face to see you better.
You snorted. “Oh yeah. Forgot you were such a nerd. Oh well, consider yourself not free anymore. You know, you look really cute with your hair pushed back.”
He flushed.
“You blush down there too. Interesting.”
You closed the door behind you and he let his forehead bump against the wall with a dull thud. Oh, he was in so much trouble.
If Clark Kent stopped being dishonest with himself, he would finally let himself admit that he liked you more than normal friends, and more than their own brand of friendship.
His feelings for you ran as deep as the ocean, as old as the birth of his civilization. From the day he thought you were a scarecrow, to his first kiss. His first kiss was with you, of course. It was your first too. You said you wanted to know what the fuss was all about.
Fireworks had erupted the moment your lips touched his, and never stopped once whenever he saw you.
Clark Kent was really in love. With his first kiss, his first friend, his first love, you.
And it wasn’t as scary as people made it out to be, honestly. Nothing was scary when you were there.
When he first started getting his powers, it was scary but you were there. You made it not scary.
When Pa Kent had a health scare, it was really scary, but you were there. You made it not so scary.
Point was, Clark wasn’t afraid of the depth of his feelings for you, because he had blind trust in you. (And something told him that you felt the same.)
Even if you dragged him to random parties on a random Friday after work. It felt weird to spend eight hours cooped up behind his laptop and then find himself in a nightclub that same night, wearing clothes that were way too fitted.
“I need you to wear something good,” you told him before dragging him into an impromptu shopping spree. It was planned for you, but it was a surprise for him. Really, who was he to tell you no?
Your whistling and happiness were worth wearing something out of his zone of comfort.
“You never leave your drink unattended, okay?” you warned him seriously.
Clark only nodded sagely, even though he was fighting the stupid grin that was threatening to break on his face. It was cute how you worried for him, even though drugs literally had no effect on him.
“No drinks left unattended, got it. And I don’t talk to strangers. Unless they’re cute.”
“Don’t sass me, young man. I’m doing this for you.”
His smile turned softer. “I know. Thank you, sweetheart.”
It was a regular nightclub, like any other. You wanted to taste their drinks, take pictures, have fun. Clark was used to these nights. You were there for the fun, he was there for you.
He didn’t usually dance but there was something different about tonight. He remembered the way he felt when you went to dance with someone else, and he didn’t want to make the same mistake twice.
He waited until you finished your drink to ask, “Can I have this dance?”
You looked at him with eyes wide like saucers. “Oh em gee!” you shrieked. “I thought you would never ask!”
If he’d known how happy it would make you, he wouldn’t have kept refusing you.
He wasn’t really used to dancing, and the only thing that came to mind when he thought of dancing was slow dancing. So that’s what he had in mind when he asked you. But then you finished his glass in one go and pressed yourself to him until there was no more space left, and the rest of the world disappeared.
He could feel everything. The press of the swell of your breasts against his chest, your hands gliding along his waist, the intoxicating smell of your lavender perfume.
Oh yes. This was a nightclub. This was how people danced. He swallowed thickly. Maybe he chose the wrong time to ask for a dance.
Your hands are now caressing your neck, up to your hair, your head turned to the side. You were one with the song, and Clark was frozen in place, hands hovering in the air, suddenly unsure whether he was allowed to touch you.
“Aw, Clarkie, getting shy on me now?” you teased him when you noticed him unmoving. You grabbed his hands and placed them on each side of your waist. “Just follow the music. Sway from one side to the other.”
He tried, but God did he feel stiff and watching you in your element didn’t help. The friction of your dancing body against him was doing something to his nerves.
“Look at how the man are dancing with the girls,” you whispered. “Try doing the same.”
He looked, and immediately averted his eyes. “I can’t do that,” he whispered in panic. “It’s… borderline graphic!”
You laughed. “Oh Clark. You’re adorable. I’m gonna grind on you,” you said with that same look on your face that said you were up to no good, and that Clark couldn’t even dream of surviving you.
“Please don’t,” he whimpered in a tiny voice. “At least not here, where everyone can see.”
You paused at that, your teasing smile frozen in place, and Clark watched with barely muted satisfaction at how he’d so easily rendered you speechless.
But then your eyes turned mischievous, and Clark realized his mistake. “I like the sound of that.”
He groaned, throwing his head back. You used that moment of weakness to press your lips along the lines of his neck. Not a kiss, not a bite. Just the soft press of your lips against his neck.
And then you screamed when your favorite song came on, and it was like that moment never even happened.
“This is my song!” you squealed excitedly.
You were so drunk.
Clark Kent didn’t mind taking care of you when drunk. He would like to say it was because he always wants to take care of you, but the truth was a little more selfish than that.
Sure, drunk you was a menace, but when you got tired and sleepy and drunk, you were always so sweet. So clingy, so desperately needy and Clark absolutely loved to take care of you in that state. You were already clingy on a normal day, but drunk and sleepy was a whole other level. If he didn’t have his Superman strength, he would never be able to extricate you from his body. You turned into an oversized, drunk, needy koala. Clark leaving for just one minute to bring you water was enough to send you into an inconsolable state, so he learned to improvise. Again, he was thankful for his superstrength allowing him to lift you with one arm while he took care of things.
Tonight was no different. By the time you both reached your apartment, you were already dozing off to sleep but fighting it, your entire chest wrapped around Clark’s arm.
“Clark, you’re staying the night, right?” you asked, voice muffled and words slurred.
“Yes,” he replied, fighting hard a smile, turning his own copy of your keys in the lock.
“And you’re staying with me, right?”
“Yes,” he replied. This time he couldn’t help the smile. He helped you walk inside.
Your bottom lip quivered, tears already forming in your eyes. You let go of him. “You hate me!”
Clark’s eyes went wide. “What? Where the heck did that come from? I just said I was staying with you.”
“Yes, but you sounded like you hated me when you said it,” you replied, voice already watery.
“Gosh no, what? I could never love you. I love you. Always have, always will.”
“So why did you stop calling me petnames? You hate me!”
You broke into tears in the middle of your living room and for the first time since ever, Clark felt utterly helpless. He hadn’t even noticed that he’d stopped.
“Oh baby, is this what it’s about?” he cooed, and his heart broke when you nodded pitifully. “Come here sweetheart.”
He opened his arms and you launched yourself into them. He closed his hold around you, his arms wide enough so he could hide all of you, and protect you. Your shoulders shook with the strength of your sob, and once again he found himself wondering how such a tiny little thing could have so much feelings inside of her.
“I love you baby, I could never hate you. Forgive me?”
“Okay,” you said, sniffing. A second later, he felt you wipe your snotty nose against the really nice shirt you got him earlier. He suppressed a small laugh. “I love you too. Even if you’re mean sometimes.” A pause. “Okay, you’re never mean. But still.”
“Thank you sweetheart.”
He kissed the crown of your head and you didn’t move for so long he thought you’d fallen asleep, but your heartbeat was still strong and rapid.
“Let’s get ready for bed, okay?”
“Okay.” But you still didn’t move.
No matter, Clark thought. He had superstrength for a reason. He easily lifted you with one arm, and his heart swelled inside his chest at your giggle. You were such a strange girl.
“Open up,” he said with a tap of his finger on your chin after he placed you on top of the bathroom counter, standing between your open legs, and pouring toothpaste on your toothbrush.
“Aaaah.”
“Good girl,” he praised, and started brushing your front teeth in gentle circular motions.
You had your right index finger hooked inside his pants. You always needed to feel him around, even when he was literally brushing your teeth.
Your mascara had run across your cheeks — unable to support a drunken night of dancing and singing and crying; your eyes were slightly red and your undereyes were swollen, and yet you were still the prettiest sight he’d ever laid eyes upon. Your lipstick was smeared across your lips, and Clark wanted to run his thumb across so badly, just to smear it even more.
You were patient while he meticulously brushed your teeth because you’d gotten used to him brushing them for two minutes exactly as prescribed by dentists. He was thorough in his cleaning, making sure you were properly clean before he makes you gargle and then spit in the sink. He didn’t give you water to rinse it off because he’d seen that you shouldn’t do that.
Then, with movements honed with years of practice, he grabbed your cotton pads and miscellar water from your skin care product self.
“Can you close your eyes for me, sweetheart?”
The effect was instant. You pouted. “But I wanna see you.”
“I’ll be quick, I promise.”
“Okay.”
You closed your eyes and he started with them, gently wiping your makeup with the cotton pad. “Almost done,” he whispered. Your fingers tugged at his pants.
Then, it was your lips’ turn, and Clark imagined it was his thumb wiping them.
“Yucky. Doesn’t taste so good,” you mumbled.
He laughed. “Oh baby, you shouldn’t taste it.”
You pouted again.
He used a fourth pad for your entire face, just to remove dirt and threw everything in the bin.
You grinned at him, all sleepy and mellowed out and looking like the angel you were. You were still in your outside clothes — Clark hadn’t gotten to that — and the juxtaposition of your sweet and innocent smile and your clothing was endearing. You could do both so well, and he loved them both a lot, but he always preferred the side of you that felt more like his, the one with no pretenses, no walls put up. Just you and your unfiltered love.
“All cleaned up, baby. Now we just need to get you into some comfortable clothes and we can go to sleep.”
You looked proud of yourself, even if all you’d done was lean sleepily against his chest and made his job a lot harder than it should.
Neither of you blushed when he helped you take off your clothes. You were drunk and sleepy, and Clark would never take advantage of you in this state. His eyes didn’t look anywhere he wasn’t supposed to, and his movements were clinical. His hands didn’t linger, didn’t stray.
He loved you and that meant he would never hurt you.
Then, finally, when you were both dressed and in bed, he gathered you in his arms and listened to your heartbeat until it slowed down. It never took too long, when he held you and you were drunk. You were always out like a light when he cuddled you close to his chest.
Clark got the idea the next day, when you were under the showers and he saw your phone light up with a notification while he was still in bed. It was a notification from TikTok — he recognized that logo.
He grabbed his own phone and downloaded the app himself, and struggled for close to thirty minutes just to create an account. Most of that time was spent figuring out a username (in the end he kept the default one TikTok gave every user).
Then you came out of the shower and Clark forgot about it.
“Wanna go grab brunch?” you asked him, still dripping on the floor, towel around you.
“Sure. Bubby’s?”
“God yes.”
Bubby’s was your go-to restaurant whenever you were hangover — or just particularly hungry.
Clark didn’t waste a second and stood up from his bed, his phone completely forgotten.
It was only a month later, when he received a notification from the app (that confused him for a good ten seconds until he remembered how he’d downloaded the app) inviting him to join a random person’s LIVE, that he remembered the really stupid idea he had.
He spent one hour learning how to use TikTok and another one trying to make a video. He kept accidentally deleting everything with his stupidly big thumbs and he tried five times before he finally finished.
It was nothing big — it wasn’t even a video. Just a static picture and some text, but he did it himself. He even managed to change the color of the words and add a gif (because he thought that was really cute and like something you would love).
He felt silly for how proud of himself he felt. He just hoped he didn’t do anything wrong, and then pressed on the post button.
He wasn’t quite sure what hashtags were or even if they were needed, but he added one just in case — the first one that popped up.
And then he deleted the app, promptly forgetting about it and going back to his usual life. It was either the stupidest idea he’d ever had, or the greatest one. In any case, he was already onto the next thing. Namely, taking you out to dinner in a near future.

You woke up to your phone absolutely blowing up. Clark was at work and had been for a few hours already.
It was strange, you thought as you looked at the hundreds of notifications showing up on your lockscreen. You hadn’t posted anything on there in so long, and definitely nothing about Clark (apparently your videos about him always did crazy well).
Oh no, you thought to yourself. Were you getting cancelled?
Half of your notifications were mentions to a random video from an account with no name and no picture, and only one post.
IS THIS THE BSF?!?!
I KNEW IT!!!!
omg i ship them so bad
Is this @pinkbubbles’s bsf?!?! The girl in the picture looks so much like her
@pinkbubbles GIRL LOOK
LMAO i literally just saw the other pov of this, tiktok knows what its doing
You clicked on the video. It was silent. It was just a picture, one that you recognized. It was you. A few years ago, when you’d traveled to the beach with Clark and he invited you to diner that night. He’d taken a picture of you, and he wanted to be subtle so your entire face didn’t show. Just your smile and your arms.
The caption read: she doesn’t know i am so in love with her.
This had to be Clark. The username and picture matched, and only him had access to that picture.
You burst out laughing when your read the caption and it was just ‘i hope she loves me back #charlidamelio’. But your heart was still hammering inside your ribcage like a crazed horse who wanted to break free.
Clark was in love with you. And he confessed through TikTok. Of all the places. It was so him and so unlike him at the same time, that you didn’t know whether you should laugh or cry or burst inside his office.
Honestly, the crazier thing was that you had posted something exactly like it a few months ago. It was just a video of Clark, not showing his face, and the caption ‘he doesn’t know i am in love with him’. The only difference was that you’d used an actual song, and you didn’t use any hashtags. It wasn’t meant to go viral. It was just… a letter inside a bottle thrown to the sea. A way not to explode while holding onto what felt like your biggest secret.
And Clark had the same idea, it seemed. A few months later, but still. You wondered when was it—what had pushed him to publish something like that. More importantly, how he’d even been able to do this, when Instagram as a concept itself broke him.
Oh God. He was in love with you, and his confession had gone viral. It was such a strange thing to say. Clark, going viral. Clark who only had an iPhone so that he could use iMessage with you and match lockscreens and sim card holders. Clark who thought TikTok was a song and not an app.
You think you’re going crazy. Clark Kent was going to be the death of you.
He was acting like nothing was wrong when you met up with him after work. He had that dopey smile on his face, the one that meant that nothing was wrong and that the world was a beautiful and perfect place to be. He usually had a terrible poker face — just that one time he bought a fake cockroach to scare you and the guilt was written all over his face like face paint for children. One look at him and you realized that the monstrosity you woke up next to was fake, and none other than Clark’s latest childish stunt.
Now
So how did the man who couldn’t even keep a surprise secret without blubbering and stuttering over his words look so serene? As if he didn’t just break the Internet and turn upside down your heart in the same night.
“Hey, baby,” he said, head tilted to the side like a confused little puppy who doesn’t understand why his owner wasn’t acting like normal? “How was your day?”
“Uh… um… it was okay. Thanks! How are yours?”
He raised an eyebrow with a teasing tilt of his lips. “How are mine? Mine what?”
You’d meant to ask how his day was, but at the same time how he was, and your tongue twisted. Oh God. He was usually the awkward one out of the two of you. Not you. Never you. You didn’t even feel that awkward when you’d hugged him once and he felt your stupidly perk and hard nipples. Admittedly, that was because Clark had done something worse just the day before and by comparison nothing you could ever do could ever be worse.
“I hate you,” you grumbled, slamming a weak fist against his chest.
Why did it have to be you who found out? What even were you supposed to be doing with information like this? Kiss him? Offer him a ring?
Clark didn’t look particularly offended by that. His hand merely found its place on top of yours and squeezed. “Come on, let’s go. Where are you taking me tonight?”
Your mind blanked. “Uh. Home?”
“Then let’s go,” he replied, his hand finding its natural position at the back of your neck, warm and present and guiding without being oppressive. He’d done that particular gesture a thousand times and you’d never particularly reacted. But tonight, it was different. Tonight, you were being held by the neck with the knowledge that he loved you. That he was in love with you as well, and that maybe had always been.
Well, if you were being honest with yourself, you would realize that this wasn’t supposed to be surprising. Clark was Clark and you were you, and the pair of you had always been like this — and your weird heteroerotic friendship had always been this way probably because you were both desperately and pathetically in love with each other.
But panicking about required love was more dramatic.
“Clark.”
“That’s my name, yes.”
“Smartass.”
He smiled in reply.
He was being so weirdly normal. As if he hadn’t posted his confession for possibly millions to see last night.
What if that wasn’t even him? What if someone hacked his phone and got his pictures of her? Poor Clark was definitely the kind of person who would fall for a phishing scam. There was a 33% chance of him actually being hacked. This was serious. You had to talk to him about it.
But… not now.
Now, you were going home with your best friend of almost thirty years and you were going to make him make dinner and you’re going to light candles and then you’re going to make him take pictures of you.
It was a regular night for the two of you. Except for the glaringly obvious and impossibly unavoidable fact that made every moment, every look, every touch a thousand times more… charged. More intimate. More…
You were running out of adjectives.
“This pasta is wonderful,” you told him and appreciated the way his ears still turned pink every time you praised his cooking.
“Ah, well, thank you, sweetheart. I wanted to make them from scratch but I didn’t have time.”
“Another time,” you replied. His homemade pasta was to die for, and he always made the best shapes ever. (One time you stole dough from him and made a penis shaped pasta. He couldn’t look you in the eyes without bursting into laughter for the rest of the evening.)
“Another time,” he confirmed.
Silence fell. The flames were still flickering, unbothered and swaying to the dancing of the air. It cast a particularly romantic light to the whole scene. Which was fitting, considering the two of you were apparently in love with each other, and probably have been for the past two decades.
Oh no. Have you guys wasted two decades for nothing when you could have been happily dating and in love? Perhaps you’d have even been married by now. Yeah, definitely married by now.
“Clark.”
His fork stilled mid-twirl and looked up to you, his entire attention riveted on you.
“Could you pass me the salt?”
His sauce was perfectly seasoned but it wasn’t your fault you chickened out right at the last minute.
“Sure thing,” he replied, standing without a complaint and getting it from the kitchen.
You were going to talk about the marriage thing another date. Well, you figured you should talk about the confession thing first.
You can do this.
You should also do something about those really nosy followers of yours who demanded an update quite literally every hour.
You really missed life back when you only had one follower — Clark’s account before he forgot the password and gave up on having an online presence.
You couldn’t post a single story of a cute cat you saw without getting swarmed with messages and comments, and not one of them was about the cute feline.
“Hey Clark, look at this cute cat I saw earlier.”
When in doubt (read: lacking attention), always turn to Clark.
“Oh look at that little fella,” he replied, genuinely excited to see him. You could always trust him to say the right thing. “Was he on your way to work?”
“Uh-huh,” you replied. “He was sooo cute. Almost adopted him.”
“Why didn’t you?”
Oh, yeah. He was perfect.
“Well we hadn’t talked beforehand about bringing a child into this life so I didn’t want to presume.”
“Next time, then.”
“Next time,” you confirmed.
As easy as that. He’d agreed to adopt a child, so the marriage talk would be easier than anticipated.
Naturally, you found yourselves at a rescue center, trying to find the perfect fit for them. Clark wanted a dog, you wanted a cat, so you compromised and got a really old cat who’d been waiting for a forever home for fifteen years.
Her name was Bean (you let Clark pick) and she was both the loveliest and saddest creature you both had ever seen. Her favorite spot to sleep was between the two of you, and she got sad whenever Clark wasn’t staying over the night, so Clark officially moved in. For Bean, of course.
Clark was, much to your dismay, her favorite, but you understood her. Clark was your favorite as well.
“You know,” Clark said one day while Bean was busy purring up a storm on top of his large chest (oh how you were jealous), “she really reminds me of you. She always meows outside the bathroom door whenever I take a shower, and she recently learnt how to open the door. Just to stare at me.”
You snorted. “That does sound like something I would do.”
Clark scratched behind Bean’s ears subconsciously. “It’s not just that. It’s… well, she’s quite clingy.”
“I am not clingy,” you refuted automatically, but it was more of a knee-jerk reaction than anything.
Bean meowed in displeasure too.
“Sweetheart, you’re currently using my arm as a body pillow.”
“Doesn’t mean anything.” Bean meowed. “See? She agrees. We aren’t clingy.”
“Yeah, yeah.” He scratched the top of your head, and you think he meant to scratch Bean’s head, not yours, but you found that you absolutely didn’t mind.
“Meow,” you said, just to really sell it in case he suspected something.

Clark was pleasantly surprised when Lois told him that she wanted to see you again. Jimmy, of course, heard it and was promptly standing guard at Clark’s desk.
“I want to see her too,” he said. As always, he was expertly (read: awkwardly) avoiding the looks a coworker had been giving him for the past three days.
“Uh…” he pushed his glasses up his nose. “Sure. She would love that. And I would love that too.”
“It’s weird, we thought you would be more ecstatic than this,” Jimmy said.
“You guys talk about me behind my back?”
“Duh,” Lois replied. “What else are we supposed to do when you randomly and suspiciously disappear at random intervals during a work day?”
He blushed. “Fair enough. But why did you think I would be happier than this?”
Lois and Jimmy shared a look. “How can he be so big yet so dense?” Lois asked.
“Hey!”
“Honestly, I just want to know what went through his brain at that moment,” Jimmy said, like he was discussing the weather. “Was he held at gun point? Did his phone become conscious on its own? How did he even know how to use the app?”
“I couldn’t have asked better questions myself,” Lois said, nodding wisely as she took a sip from her monstrous drink. “Clark, would you be up for an interview later?”
Clark frowned. “What… what is going on?”
They shared a look.
“I don’t think he knows that we know.”
“Or that the entire Internet knows,” Lois added.
“Or that she knows,” Jimmy appended.
“He thinks he’s sleek with it,” Lois commented.
“Stop talking like creepy twins!” he shrieked. His dignity was never left intact around those two. “What is going on? No, I don’t wanna know. I need to take a break.”
“Should we tell him?”
“Yes. I mean, they adopted a cat together. I don’t think he knows the implications of it.”
“What does Bean have anything to do with any of this?”
“Bean is your child. You’re the father, your best friend is the mother. You guys have moved in together, you co-parent a child, and you’re both in love.”
He finally blushed. “No we’re not.”
“Yes, you are. You confessed to her and she confessed to you.”
“Wait… when did she confess?”
“Oh great heavens.”
Taking an impromptu coffee break, they dragged Clark to the break room where they sat him down (he was going to need it) and showed him his video on Jimmy’s phone and her video on Lois’ phone.
“Who are you and what have you done with our Clark Kent?”
“The Clark I know would have never confessed like this. Granted, it’s cute, but it’s not something Clark would do.”
“He can barely use the selfie mode on his phone!”
Clark Kent really felt like a hostage being interrogated, with the two of them looming over him like menacing journalists who wanted to get to the bottom of this. The only thing missing was the table and a threatening lamp projected right in his face, blinding him. He could very well see Lois with a foot up on her chair, elbow on her knee as she stared him down so menacingly he had half a mind to confess to things he didn’t even do, just to make her stop.
His face was impossibly red, and the only thing he was thinking about wasn’t about how millions of people saw his video, but that you must have seen it, because everyone was tagging you in the comments, and this was definitely not the way he expected to confess to you.
Beneath it all though, his chest was rumbling with pleasure at the confirmation — finally — that you felt the same. Knowing it was different from being clearly told.
“Stop grinning like an idiot, this is making me wanna puke.”
“Gross. Maybe we shouldn’t have shown him this. His face is making a very disturbing and off putting expression.”
“I’m just happy and mortified! Can’t I be happy and mortified in peace?” Clark whined.
“No,” came their reply in unison.
“Guys, something came up. I have to go. Tell Perry I’ll work from home.”
He doesn’t wait a second for their answer. Quite frankly, he didn’t care much at the moment. He had a girl waiting for him at home to kiss her senseless.
