Author’s note at the end :)
————————————————————————
“Would you like a refill of your water, sir?”
You looked up at the waiter with a smile, nodding as you watched your empty cup get refilled for the fifth time tonight.
“Thank you.” You told the waiter, ignoring the pitiful glance he sent your way as he left. You checked your watch for the time and realised that it’s been almost an hour.
You closed your eyes and took a deep breath to calm yourself down.
“This is the first and last time I’m letting Zatanna play matchmaker.” You murmured to yourself, taking a swig of your water before slamming it down on the table.
You bit your lip, fighting away your tears as you began to pack up your things before jolting in your seat when a body slams into the chair on the opposite side of your table.
The figure fixes themselves properly on the seat and you blinked in shocked at who it was right in front of you.
“Clark?” You questioned the Kryptonian in front of you. The other man fixing the glasses on his face and dusting off the imaginary dust on the slightly oversized suit he was wearing, his hair slightly askew from when he forced himself onto the chair.
Clark cleared his throat, giving you a half smile that showed off the dimples on his face. “Hi.”
“Hi.” You eyed him warily as you put down your stuff that you already had in your hands.
Clark folded his hands on the table, his eyes looking around the restaurant. “You picked a pretty nice place for a date.”
“Thanks but this was all Zatanna’s idea. She suggested this place and told me that I had to pay for my own food.” You scoffed, feeling extreme pettiness towards your sister.
Clark eyed you in amusement through his glasses, a slight twinkle in his eye. “Yet you still came, why is that?”
“Seriously, Kent, you’re gonna use your professional journalist voice on me?” You gave Clark a look of disdain, the other man shrugging and folding his arms as he waited for you to answer.
Luckily for you, the waiter came by again with a very surprised look on his face. “Well it looks like the night is still young, gentlemen. What would you like to order?”
You and Clark quickly ordered your food with an appetiser to share between the both of you. The waiter smiled before glancing at Clark and giving you a wink.
“I see why you waited.”
You felt your face immediately flush. “Oh he’s not my-“
The waiter had already walked off before you could finish your sentence, making you sag on your chair with a defeated sigh. “Date.”
Your eyes meet Clark’s again, the other man still staring at you for an answer. You rolled your eyes at him, feeling the tightness in your jaw.
“Zatanna said that I needed to go out and enjoy life outside of the Justice League so she set me up for a date and the guy couldn’t even be bothered to leave a text to say that he wasn’t coming.” You told Clark truthfully, knowing that the other man would be able to hear the slight uptick in your heart and call you out on a lie with his super hearing.
You then realised that it was suspicious that Clark was now sitting in front of you. “Wait, how’d you know I was here?”
This time it was Clark’s turn to blush, sheepishly scratching the back of his head as his eyes divert from yours.
Clark cleared his throat, resuming his previously confident position as he smiles at you. “I noticed that you weren’t at the Watchtower tonight so I asked around and Zatanna told me that you were on a date.”
“So you thought it was a good idea to crash it?” You snorted at Clark’s way of reasoning that made absolutely no sense to you.
Clark shrugged, not looking at all guilty by your accusation of him.
You squinted at him. “So if the guy had actually showed up, what would you have done?”
“Does it matter? He’s not here, I am.” Clark replied smugly.
You huffed out a laugh at the other man’s ridiculous response before seeing the waiter return with a tray of food.
“Thank you.” You and Clark said in unison, making the waiter raise his eyebrows at you and subtly giving you a thumbs up before leaving.
You were left a little perplexed, a part of you wanting to run to the waiter to explain the misconception but you knew it would just make you look like a bumbling fool.
“Hey.” Clark’s soft voice draws you back to reality, your eyes meeting his gaze and you feel your face flush at the attention.
Clark pursed his lips. “Don’t think about this too hard, just eat your food before it gets cold.”
“Says the man who inhales his meals in seconds.” You retorted, as you dug into your food. You watched as Clark deliberately ate slower, his eyes fixed on you the entire time as if challenging you to further comment on his eating habits.
You couldn’t help the smile forming on your face as you continued to enjoy your meal, taking your time as well.
“So, what does the mighty Clark Kent do during dates?” You asked Clark, feeling yourself finally relaxing at the situation that you found yourself in.
Clark chuckled, wiping his mouth with one of the napkins. “So this is a date?”
“Answer the question, Kent.” You felt your face heat up, deflecting Clark’s own question.
Clark flexes his jaw, your eyes dropping to his lips when he does so. You’ve known Clark for years, meeting him first as Superman before the both of you felt comfortable enough to reveal your secret identities to each other.
You won’t lie and say that Clark wasn’t easy on the eyes. He had a constant boyish charm that he exuded effortlessly as Clark Kent and a kind yet commanding presence as Superman.
You were glad to be privy to both his personas. He was, in a way, one of your best friends in and out of the superhero business.
“Well, as you know, the last person I seriously dated was Lois. Juggling myself as Clark and the other guy was a little tough for a while with her, so I guess my way of dating was making sure to show up when she needed me.” Clark opened up to you, seeing you nod in understanding.
You rested your hand on your cheek as you thought of another question. “Okay but what did you do to woo her?”
Clark laughed. “A lot of embarrassing things, like spelling her name up in the clouds for everyone to see and letting her use me as an inside scoop for Superman.”
You let out a surprised laugh at that as Clark recounted the number of times Lois would bait him into an emotional outburst during interviews, which devolved you into a fit of giggles with each story told.
You had tears in your eyes by the end of Clark’s tales about his dating life, the other man just grinning madly at you from across the table as you had to fan yourself to calm down.
You felt his foot kick yours lightly, getting your full attention on him once again with an amused raised eyebrow.
Clark chuckled. “Not a bad date tonight then?”
“I’d say so, can’t even remember the guy’s name that I was supposed to originally meet.” You let out a chuckle of your own, feeling a little better now that Clark was here.
Clark grinned, his signature dimples on full display as he leaned forward with his arms resting on the table. “If you’d let me, I would like to take you out on a proper date next time.”
You blinked at Clark in surprise, not expecting him to ask you out.
You tilted your head, uncertainty written all over your face. “I didn’t think you’d be open to dating again after Lois.”
Clark gives you a soft smile. “I wasn’t sure myself after Lois broke things off with me, I mean I thought I was going to marry her.”
You jumped slightly in your seat when Clark reached out to grab your hand from across the table, his large hand enveloping yours and it made you feel hot under the collar at the lewd imagery that popped up in your mind of Clark’s larger stature over yours.
“Then I joined the Justice League and met you.” Clark continued, his thumb rubbing over your knuckles as he spoke. He smiled when you squeezed his hand in response, patiently listening to what he had to say.
“You were like a bright light that I couldn’t look away from. You’re stubborn, headstrong and sometimes a little loud.”
“I hope there’s something good at the end of this sentence or else I’m walking out of here.” You interrupted Clark with a playful glare, getting a small laugh from the other man.
Clark shook his head. “You’re brilliant, you’re loyal and possibly the most beautiful man I’ve ever met.”
“Clark.” You were flabbergasted, feeling slightly breathless at how Clark sees you while you were completely oblivious to his feelings.
Clark lets go of your hand, his face flushed as he sheepishly nodded. Your fingers flexed on the table, already missing the comfortable heat of Clark’s hand over yours.
“I know it’s a lot of information that I just dumped on you tonight but when I heard that you were on a date, I just knew that I had to do something or else I’d regret it.”
You squinted at Clark suspiciously, a smirk playing on your lips. “You totally used your super hearing to eavesdrop on me.”
“When you started to get up from your seat, I might’ve freaked out a little bit and used my super speed to change into a proper suit for a date and flew here.” Clark sheepishly told you, his mouth closed in a thin line that accentuated his dimples and that made you want to reach over and kiss him silly.
You were starting to realise that you completely adored the man that was sitting right in front of you.
“Okay.” You told Clark, the other man giving you a confused look.
“Okay?” Clark parroted back at you, making you roll your eyes at him.
“Okay, you can take me out on another date.” You explained.
Clark’s face immediately broke out into a giant grin and it made your heart skip a beat at the fact that Clark adored you as well, maybe even more.
“I’ll foot the bill.” Clark confidently tells you, making you snort in response.
You shook your head at him, amused. “Not with the salary you’re earning as a reporter, I got this one.”
Clark pouted, forcing you to look away from him before you did something stupid like lean over and kiss him for the whole room to see.
“You’ll get the bill on the date you’re bringing me out to.” You reminded Clark, the other man raising an eyebrow at you.
Clark huffed. “I remember you complaining about having to pay for food not that long ago.”
“Which means you really have to step up your game, Kent.” You teased Clark, watching as the man flexes his jaw at your challenging tone.
Clark smirked, folding his arms. “I’m gonna charm your socks off, just you wait.”
You let out a sharp and loud laugh that catches some of the patrons near your table slightly off guard before you reeled yourself back in and called for the waiter to get your bill.
Clark grinning at you the entire time, entirely too proud of himself for making you laugh.
“You’re such a dork, Clark.” You shook your head at him with a small smile.
Clark returned the smile. “Only for you.”
~~~~~
When the both of you walked out of the restaurant, you were pleasantly surprised to see light snow falling from the night sky.
You were too distracted by the specks of snow to notice as Clark immediately took his suit jacket off.
“Here, you’ll get cold.” Clark told you as he draped the jacket over your shoulders, the oversized jacket practically covering most of your body.
You blushed as you immediately get hit with Clark’s scent that forces you to hold back a whimper.
You cleared your throat. “Aren’t you going to get cold too?”
“Of course not, I run hot.” Clark smirked down at you, making your face run even hotter at the fact that you almost forgot that he was Superman and that he looked absolutely delicious in a fitting dress shirt and tie.
Clark raised his eyebrows at you when he noticed how silent you became. “You okay? Do you need me to call you a cab?”
“No.” You grounded out, your heart racing at the thought that popped into your mind for what you were going to ask Clark.
Clark stepped closer to you, he frowned with worry. “Are you sure? I can hear your heart going crazy right now.”
“I want to go to your place.” You told Clark, the other man looking back at you in surprise at your request.
At his shocked silence, you continued. “Look I share an apartment with my sister, I don’t want to see her right now after she set me up with the guy that didn’t even show up and now it’s snowing so I don’t really have another place to go.”
“Of course but you mind if I fly us out of here? It’d be better and quicker to get you to my apartment.” Clark asked you as he directed you towards the empty alleyway next to the restaurant.
You nodded before you started to conjure up a spell. “Edih su morf gnirednaw seye.”
Clark blinked, looking around and seeing that nothing has changed. “What happened?”
“I put a cloaking spell on us. We’re able to see each other but others can’t see us so it’d be easier to fly away from here.” You replied, getting an impressed nod from Clark.
Clark sees your body shudder. “You’re shivering, let’s get out of here.”
“Wait, I need something to warm me up before we fly through the snow.” You told Clark, the other man opening his mouth to ask what you needed before yelping when you grabbed his tie and kissed him on the lips.
Clark closed his eyes and melted into the kiss, his large hands grabbing your waist as he pulled you closer to his body.
You sighed into the kiss, feeling Clark’s lips mould perfectly over yours. Your arms resting on Clark’s shoulders as you felt yourself suddenly get lighter.
You broke the kiss and laughed when you noticed that Clark had floated the both of you up into the air.
“Sorry.” Clark apologised with a sheepish smile, he held your body tighter as you clung to his shoulders.
You shook your head with an amused smile. “Don’t apologise, I don’t think I’ve ever made a guy fly into the air just by kissing.”
You felt Clark’s grip on you tightened around your waist as he pouted. “You’ve kissed other guys?”
“Stop that, let’s get out of here already.” You rolled your eyes at the jealous Kryptonian, foreseeing a lot of clinginess in the future.
~~~~~
“Golly.”
Clark breathed out next to you in his bed, the both of you naked as the day you were born.
Your brain couldn’t even comprehend what was probably the most amazing sex you’ve ever had, the both of you were even floating at one point.
Clark shifted so he could face you, a proud grin plastered on his face. “I don’t think I’ve ever heard you so silent before.”
“You practically pounded my voice out of me, Clark. I didn’t realise you were that pent up.” You retorted, amused and if you were being honest, a little sore.
Clark chuckled, pulling you closer to his body before kissing you on the forehead. “I’ve craved you for so long, honey. I couldn’t help myself once I got a taste of you.”
“You’ve got a pet name for me now?” You laughed.
Clark chuckled. “Because you’re sweet, in more ways than one.”
You felt Clark’s hand slide to your ass, spreading your cheeks open as he circled his finger around your hole.
“You’re a little puffy down there, hun. Does it hurt?” Clark asked you, a smirk on his face when he hears your uptake of breath after he taps on your hole a couple of times.
You hid your face against his bare chest, feeling the heat rise in your face as you nodded. “A little bit.”
You then felt Clark lift your leg up as he descended his body so he could line his face up with your hole.
Clark frowned. “It’s really red, hun. You should’ve said something earlier, I would have stopped.”
“Clark, don’t make me say it.” You hid your face behind your hands in shame.
Clark looked back at you with concern. “What do you mean?”
You groaned, feeling embarrassed before glaring down at him at where he was resting his head against your knee.
Clark gives your knee a small kiss, rubbing his hand against the side of your leg in a comforting manner. “Come on, you can tell me.”
“Fine. I like it when you manhandle me okay? It’s hot when you get a little bit rough.” You murmured, looking away with red tinting your cheeks.
Clark blinked in surprise. “Oh.”
You felt a small tinge of doubt forming in your gut, thinking that Clark was repulsed due to his lack of response before letting out a surprised yelp when Clark lifted your legs instead.
“Even so, hun, if you want me to be rough with you then you’ll have to accept that I’m going to take care of you right after.”
You gasped when Clark’s large tongue licks your red and sensitive pucker, making your body shudder as Clark circles the rim of your hole.
Clark lightly blew on your hole, watching it open and close and chuckled when you tapped the sole of your foot on his shoulder as a warning.
“Sorry hun.” Clark smiled at you, his eyes twinkling with mischief before he resumed eating you out.
You felt heat pool up in your gut again and you let out a whine when you start cumming all over your stomach.
Clark pulls back with a grin, watching as you were left breathless again before crawling up on the bed to spoon you.
“God, we’re sticky.” You murmured as you felt Clark kiss the back of your neck before taking a deep inhale of your scent.
Clark rumbled happily. “Let’s take a nap first, I’ll help you in the shower after.”
You yawned feeling the night’s events finally hitting you as your eyes fluttered shut, your breathing slowing down before sleep took over you.
“Cute.” Clark chuckled against your skin as he let sleep consume him as well.
~~~~~
You walked into the break room of the Watchtower and paused when you saw Clark standing suspiciously in front of one of the tables with his hands behind his back.
His Superman suit and cape were wide enough to cover most of the table so you couldn’t see what he was hiding.
You unbuttoned your tailcoat as you walked closer to him with an amused smile when his hungry eyes drop to your waist for a second before looking up at you again.
“And pray tell what’s my boyfriend trying to hide behind him?” You teased Clark as you stood on your tip toes to peck him on the lips, the other man reciprocating with a small smile.
Clark stepped aside and you gasped at the sight before you. It was a romantic candlelight dinner with roses in the middle of the set up.
“This is the second date, I assume?” You quirked an eyebrow at Clark, who chuckled in response.
Clark pulled out the chair for you to sit down before going to the other side to sit across from you.
“I know it’s a little difficult right now for you to have some free time between The League and doing shows with your sister so I thought I’d bring the date to you.”
You grinned, your heart skipping a beat at how perfect your boyfriend was. “You’re such a sap, Kent.”
“Only for you.” Clark winked.
After the dinner, Clark grabbed for your hand. His thumb rubbing the back of your knuckles nervously.
“What is it?” You asked, suddenly worried.
Clark looked up at you, determination written all over his face. “Move in with me.”
“What?” You gasped, feeling Clark’s hand squeeze yours as if you were suddenly going to run away.
“Move in with me. I know we see each other often here at the Watchtower but I want to be with you, I want you to be the only person I wake up to every morning and be the last person I’m with every night. I’m so deeply in love with you and I want to always come home to you.” Clark spoke passionately and you felt your heart swell at his conviction.
“Okay.” You replied with a small smile.
“Okay?” Clark gasped out, surprised.
“Okay, let’s move in together.” You confirmed, making Clark let out a whoop before standing up and pulling you along with him so he could embrace you.
You giggled at his antics but returned the hug as well.
“I love you too.” You told Clark, making him pull back from the hug with a giant grin on his face before locking your lips with his.
You felt yourself get lost in his lips before pulling back with a dazed look on your face and laughed when you realised that the both of you were floating in the middle of the room.
“Sweetie, you’re making us float again.” You murmured against his lips.
Clark sheepishly chuckled as he floated down to the floor. “Whoops.”
