While we're waiting for the laptop to stop barfing, how about some more Deal? With jimmies!
Title: Deal
Fandom: SV
Pairing: Lex/Adam and Clark
Rating: 2/pg-13
Deal
previous part
Clark tapped at the study door and Lex looked up, motioned him in and made a shushing gesture at the same time.
“Dad, unless I have full control and final say on projects, I’m not interested in Star Labs.” Lex raised his voice a bit and heard a little inhalation.
He wheeled his chair away from the desk to face Clark, who was looking concerned. He smiled to show it wasn’t important, and went on. “Star Labs is small—insignificant next to Cadmus. Why would I want to be involved in their projects…really? I see. I see.” Lex stood and walked around the big presence of Clark. Concentrate….
“Well, that does interest me. Pediatric medicine isn’t a line I expected you to be involved in—mmm. I imagine it is highly lucrative. Once you get past the FDA. All right. We’ll talk tomorrow. I have other business right now. No, nothing that concerns you or LuthorCorp. Until tomorrow, Dad.”
“Clark.” Lex smiled, the pleasure he felt at seeing Clark still a double-edged sword, even after all this time. Untouchable, desirable, innocent, so very innocent, and so very arousing. He smiled, and knew his eyes weren’t hiding anything, and if Clark chose to interpret it as a brotherly feeling, Lex was content to let it be so.
Clark smiled back. Happy, oblivious to the effect he had on Lex, he walked around the study, picking things up, poking things, face creased in concentration. Lex watched him for a bit, called down to the kitchen for snacks to be sent up, and Clark turned his face to him and grinned. No matter how quietly or secretly Lex tried to order food for Clark, he always seemed to know when he did it, he always blushed and smiled.
Clark also seemed to have no idea how significant it was that he had free access to the Castle. Maybe he thought Lex actually allowed other people to paw his belongings. Allowed anyone to insinuate themselves into his private life, Lex mused. Lex came around the desk, crossed his legs at the ankle, and leaned back on his hands, and let his eyes devour Clark. Maybe he thought Lex considered him so important that food and drink and his home were his right
He sighed. It was. He was fucking defenseless against him.
Clark wandered around the bookshelves, stroking the leather bound spines of the books, and Lex felt a little dash of jealousy. He’d love to be the object of as intense a scrutiny as old Willie Shakespeare was getting—he grinned at himself.
“Lex, I have to write a paper on a Shakespeare play—you know.” He rolled his eyes and waved his hand and Lex thought, I know?
“Can you help me--I want to do something different---not the same three plays everyone else is doing.”
“So, you really need to boost your grade hunh?”
Clark blushed and smiled, but looked Lex straight in the eye. God, the combination of shy and bold made him hard. He uncrossed his legs, sat at his desk and folded his hands over his dick and smiled at Clark. “What happened, Clark? You’re a very smart boy—you should be doing well.”
Clark shrugged and grinned wider. “Lana. I’m…” he finally dropped his eyes and Lex sighed in relief. “I guess I spent a little too much time daydreaming and not enough taking notes and…”
“Paying actual attention?” He knew Clark’s grades were fair, average. He knew they could be much, much better. He wondered if a tutor would help. He’d look into it. He wanted to ask Clark if he thought he needed a tutor, but the phone rang.
*Hi. It’s…*
“It’s you. I know,” Lex smiled.
*Caller ID?* There was a grin in the voice.
“No, I recognize your ring.” Lex’s voice softened, he felt his expression soften and warmth spread from under his ribs, through his body.
*I miss you.*
“I miss you too. How are things with you?” He found himself drawing circles on the desk surface, stopped.
*Fine, fine…how are things in Smallville?*
Lex laughed softly and glanced over at Clark. “Fine. The same…you know.”
There was a soft answering chuckle on the other end. *Lex, Lex…*
Clark looked impatient, or rather looked like he was trying to cover impatience. He glanced at the phone and at Lex, and Lex had the oddest feeling he was staring at his mouth and it was then he realized he’d been smiling since Adam called.
*I’m not going to keep you, I just wanted to check on you, and let you know I’m doing as well as you expect of me this semester. And to beg you to let me come home for the break.*
“Home—but you are going home, you’ve free run of the penthouse--” Clark’s eyes jerked up from his mouth to his eyes. His expression didn’t change but Lex got the sense that now he was listening with every pore of his body.
*Home is where you are, Lex. Please—I want to be where you are.* Adam’s voice dropped, became private, intimate, brushing against his ear like a soft mouth. Lex swallowed and his eyelids dropped in reflex.
“I don’t know…I have things here, business here….”
*I know what the story is. I understand where I am in your life—but does that mean I can’t be happy? Please Lex. Please.* his voice was intense now, on the edge of pained and Lex felt the familiar tug at his heart.
Lex sighed. “Yes, come, okay. I—I’ll be happy to have you here.” He felt his dick stir slightly.
*Good. Love you. I can’t wait to show you how much.*. He hung up and Lex set the phone onto the desk.
Clark obviously was dying to ask who’d been on the phone but he didn’t. Instead, he spent the rest of the visit regaling Lex with tales of Lana’s particular brilliance, her humble humanity, her near perfection. Lex smiled and nodded and ground his teeth—the minute Clark left, he planned to access a particularly juicy porn site and jerk off until he passed out.
He rubbed his face—why must he always turn twelve at the least opportune moment?
******
Lex got up from his desk and stretched, joints popped and he groaned. He’d been curled over the laptop for hours, working non-stop. He’d had to make up for time he’d lost drinking coffee with Clark at the Talon, listening to tales of woe.
Lana.
Sometime, the desire to choke her to death was overpowering. But he let Clark talk on, because when he did, he stared right into Lex’s eyes and it felt intimate in a different sort of way. He had a method for dealing with Clark’s recitation of Lana’s innumerable sterling qualities. He’d spend whole conversations on edge, picturing his dick in Clark’s mouth. Just looking in Clark’s eyes was enough, just a brush of Clark’s fingers over his skin was enough….
Lex bit his lip savagely. Fuck, he hated being pathetic and needy. Even though it was exactly what he was. Any time he was breathing the same air as Clark, he was useless and…pathetic. He walked over to the fireplace and turned the gas up, put something soothing and non-challenging in the player. Music filled the air, and the flames warmed the wall behind him. He made himself a drink, and walked back and forth across the room shaking out his arms, rolling his shoulders. He had no idea so much time had gone by so quickly. He debated calling Clark to ask him how his attempt to ask Lana out had gone.
The phone rang and he checked the ID. A genuine wave of pleasure warmed him. Adam.
*Hello, what are you doing and stop working.*
Lex laughed, soft and low. “I’m glad you called. Tell me a story?”
“*All right, I’ll tell you the story about the prince and the pauper…*
Lex settled back into his chair with his eyes closed and the hint of a smile on his lips.

And now you've added some jealousy from Clark into the mix. I love that Adam really seems to have fallen for Lex, despite their less than auspicious start...
Excellent work.
I can't wait to see where you take them next.
no subject
All I can say about what's coming is, I feel sorry for Clark.

I feel really bad for him too. He's kind of a sad character.

Um. Ms. Thang, do you not like Lana?

Silly Lex - pathetic? HA!

Why do you ask?

Ohoh, I don't like the sound of that!
I'd rather be sorry for Adam who, the substitute. As for Lana, get out of Clark's mind! Now!
I want Clark to be happy, even if it has to be eventually.
Great part, Roxy!

Thank you so much lovey. Clak is going to be happy, even if he goes through a lot of bad times first--warning!

serves me right, to have so many IE explorer windows opened ;D
either way, I am starting to love Adam, and my heart is already started to bleed for what may come over him, since I doubt, he can be a real substitute for what clark is for lex... I see lots and lots of broken hearts in the future, adam, lex ... clark....
But then, adam and lex seemed to share genuine feelings for each other... damn!

Clueless Clark going ON and ON about Lana.
Lex wanting to kill her in nasty ways.
Adam swooning over Lex and Lex knows it, and trying to protect him, keeps him away.
Clark jealous, but not really getting why.
Want to see Clark and Adam together, but more, want Lex and Adam to meet again. (And Clark will have to burst in on them because that's what he does always.:)
Anyway, Love this!
*beams*

That's the most important part of this bit, I think--I'm too pleased you liked it! *HUG*
no subject
*sigh* That said, I expect to be hurting soon cause, you know, that's just who WE are, yes?
;D
But I do have to say I'm loving Lex and Adam, as hard a Clex girl as I am, whenever Clark is still hung up on Lana, all I wish is for Lex to find someone else and give Clark the boot (remember Victoria?). Um, that'll be all for now, cause you have more chapters posted and "I gotta go" (as spoken by Adina, hee!).
Love you!

This is making me nervous cause I already really like Adam and don't want him to get hurt:( But the Clex is meant to be, so what can ya do?
