Devoted, a rambly thought.

For those of you who haven't see it , or could care less, I'll put this behind the cut.
OK, here's the thing, everyone is all "Clark, ya selfish using bastard, the minute you're friends with Lex again ya ask him for a favor you bitch" und so on...
So, maybe this says more about me as a person, possibly negative, but what's wrong with that? did I completely misread Lex's expression, which to me was fond exasperation?
I think not. I know that look intimately, my friends. It's a look I've grown to love.
I think that Clark *knows* Lex likes doing things for him. It seems to me, hardly an ep went by without Lex volunteering to do something, or agreeing to do something for him, because Lex would "do anything for a friend*.
Hello. Friend.
I thought Clark asked him in "the spirit of friendship"to show that they were truly once again friends.
It's a game they play with each other, a much less dangerous one then their other game, the "catch me in a lie, please, game."
The "which one of these ridiculous lies are going to rip us apart for all time" game.
Anyhoo- this is my poor attempt to say, Clark did no wrong there, in fact, he couldn't have provided Lex with better proof of his desire to be friends again, In My Humble Opinion.

They'd both be staring at the bedroom ceiling and waiting for something to happen.

10/22/04 12:20 pm (UTC)I love that phrase: "preemptive blow job"
I wonder if there's a way I can work that into a random conversation.

10/22/04 02:00 am (UTC)Well, not for *all* time. They're immortal, after all.
And not just in the "our grandchildren's grandchildren will know who Superman and Lex Luthor are" sense, either.
In the "not-Jude hung Lex upside down in a straitjacket for *hours* and he didn't have an aneurysm/Lex doesn't have a gravestone in Hourglass" sense.
After the rift, they'll become friends again. Someday.

10/22/04 02:17 am (UTC)And truth? no gravestone? I didn't know that.
Well, yes then, after they get rid of all the crap between them,they can be friends again. And by that time,same sex marrige will be old hat, and they can have a tasteful ceremony among the stars, in the Little Chapel On the LuthorCorp Space Station.

10/22/04 02:22 am (UTC)Well, if he does have a gravestone, several hundred of us on the mailing list missed it, because it was a *huge* topic of conversation/speculation and is one of the key points in the "immortal Lex" manifesto.

Sure beats running off to Las Vegas for romance!

10/22/04 02:29 am (UTC)I like it. I like it very much. And seriously, it makes me think...*jots down more notes in over-burdened idea book*.
(no subject)
10/22/04 02:16 am (UTC)And Clark's pants are still on fiyaaah!
Buh. No, seriously, I probably get off on it. It's a huge part of the Clex dynamic. Still, I love being indignant. Especially when I know that in real life, I'd easily accept it the way Lex does on the show.

10/22/04 02:20 am (UTC)Sorry.
Sure, I see that, it's just sometimes, I'm such a Clark, you know? *G*

I did think it was kinda rude of Clark, but it is the way their friendship is defined, so I'll forgive him. It was good for Lex - Clark letting him help would confirm his place in Clark's life.
