This is just perfect: happy and playful and passionate and poignant and romantic -- and then the crash for Lex (and soon for Clark). *wails* I love Lex's initial reaction when Clark gasps for him to stop, and then his melting into pure, desperate romance when Clark makes himself clear.
Quick as a shot, Alex rose in one graceful move from the floor, in seconds he was standing, walking away from Clark, he was tucking, smoothing, pulling a mask over his face, until only damp pink cheeks gave away that he'd been so affected by Clark…"Of course, it was too much, too fast. I'm sorry. I'd never force anything on you…I'm sure Chloe's waiting."
"No, that's not what I meant, not *stop*, just…" Clark's chest heaved, and he groaned. "Not on the floor in this dirty room. I'm probably being corny, but I want clean sheets, and time, and room and to hold you and to—to love you the—the right way—"
Alex released his iron control so suddenly he nearly fell. He gasped, "Oh! Oh, yes, me too," he babbled, "I want space, and—and sheets, and—breakfast in bed and. Shit, all that corny stuff. I want it too."
YES! I love that bit so very much, but Clark is going to be utterly crushed when Mahaney drags Lex off after the show and Lex allows it. *wibbles* Clark wouldn't take the fact that Lex is apparently willing to bed Mahaney more than once to mean that Lex is actually in love with the thug, would he? *flails*
