Love and Heroes


Clark blinked groggily as he slowly started to wake. Once he was awake enough to focus and take in his surroundings, he realised he was back in his childhood bedroom. He was finally home.

That was not all he discovered. He instantly noticed the slight weight that was draped over him. He frowned before looking down and finding a familiar head of blond hair. He knew who exactly that head of blond hair belonged to. The owner in question still smelt and felt the same that had not changed. He knew it was impossible to forget, considering the owner in question had at one point been his lover.

He sighed and shifted as he gaze upon the sleeping face of his closest, truest and most dearest friend, Chloe Sullivan. He stared lovingly at his friend and carefully reached out and gently stroked her cheek with the back of his hand. He had missed her dearly. There was only three people he had truly missed when he had been gone. They had been his mother, Chloe and Lois Lane.

He noticed her hair was a lot longer; it reached just above her elbows and was now wavy, where as it had been straight and just touching her shoulder blades when he had last seen her. Her skin was still as beautiful and flawless as he remembered it being.

He wondered how his God children were, how much had they changed and grown. He had missed watching little Alfred and Lucia grow up. They had been a little less then two years-old when he had left.

He also wondered about Bruce Wayne, the father of Alfred and Lucia. He wonder if he had returned or whether he been found dead or alive. He knew his friend was in love with the billionaire of Wayne Enterprises of Gotham city, who had been missing for almost two years, before he had left for Krypton, five years ago.

He suddenly froze, his thoughts being immediately cut off when he felt Chloe shift against him. He knew she was starting to wake; by the way her breathing pattern had altered. He lay still waiting for her to wake fully and to see how she would react to him being awake.

He did not have to wait long. He watched her out of the corner of his eye, as she yawned and blinked as she took in her surroundings. He knew she had realised where she was when he felt her freeze beside him. He waited with baited breath for her reaction.

Chloe went to stretched when her arm bumped into something soft but firm and hard and very warm indeed. It took her a moment to realise where she was and who exactly she was laying beside. When it all came back to her, her eyes widened and she immediately sat up and stared down at the figure of her best friend lying beside her. His eyes were still closed.

Chloe who had no idea he was faking sleep reached out and gently smoothed her finger tips across his forehead and trailed them down his nose before reaching his mouth. Just as she was about to touch his lips, he moved quicker then the human eye could see, as he encased her fingers inside of his mouth.

Chloe screeched and tried to remove her fingers from his mouth, but he was having none of it. He slightly tightened his lips around her fingers and started to nibble on them.

Chloe squirmed and yelled “Clark Jerome Kent so God help me, if you don’t release my fingers right this instant, I’ll make what I did to you in the tenth grade look like Childs play. Damn it Kent let go.”

Clark smirked around her fingers before releasing them. Chloe smirked smugly, removing her fingers out of his reach, thinking she had won. But before she knew what had hit her and what her friendly Kryptonian friend was up to, he grabbed her and started tickling her.

Chloe screamed and tried to get out of his grasp and away from his evil tickling fingers. She started to giggle hysterically and squirm like mad when he wouldn’t stop. She smacked at his arms. Both were laughing loudly.

Chloe tried to tickle him back, but he had her trapped, he was to quick and strong for her to escape and retaliate. Soon Chloe was wheezing in between hysterical fits of giggles and her pleas for him to stop. He said “Say uncle.” Chloe shook her head and yelled “No way.”

Clark raised an eye brow and went for a low and dirty blow. He knew exactly where to get her to make her crack and yell uncle at the top of her lungs. He reached for her rib cage and began to teasingly tickle her. Chloe lost it and shirked even louder and redoubled her efforts for freedom and revenge.

Clark grinned widely still laughing and not at all out of breath, much to Chloe’s eternal disgust, since childhood. Clark said between laughs “Give it up Chlo, say uncle and I’ll stop.” Chloe shook her head and exclaimed “NEVER!”

Clark smirked and went in for the kill; he used one hand to tickle her ribs and the other her sides. That did it, Chloe cracked and shirked “OK, OK, I GIVE!” Clark shook his head and continued as he said “Nope Chlo, what are the magic words?” Chloe glared at her friend whilst still wheezing with laughter. She finally gave in and yowled “OK, OK, UNCLE! UNCLE! I GIVE I GIVE!”

Clark smiled smugly and ceased his tickling. Chloe sighed in relief and fell back against the pillows and panted heavily, her eyes were closed as she tried to get her breathing back under control. Her face was bright red and there were tear tracks from where she had cried from laughing so hard.

Chloe once she had got her breathing under control reached out and smacked him up the side of the head before wincing and holding her left hand to her chest and glaring reproachfully at him. Clark chuckle before sighing and taking her hand and bring it to his mouth before she could stop him. She struggled to release her hand from his grip, but he merely shot her an amused glance.

He brought her hand up the rest of the way and placed a gentle and soothing kiss to her stinging palm. Chloe playfully glared at him, as he placed another gentle kiss to her palm. She grumbled “Damn it Kent you make it impossible to stay pissed with you when you do that.”

Clark looked at her and asked mock innocently “When I do what?” Chloe snorted as he placed another kiss on her palm. “That, when you act like the typical sweet and adorable farm boy.” She felt Clark smirk into the palm of her hand. Chloe managed to pry her hand free from his grasp before ruffling his hair playfully.

Clark rolled over taking her with him. He buried his face in her hair and breathed in her scent. He sighed contently and whispered into her ear “God Chlo, I’ve missed you so much.” Chloe sighed into his neck and spoke in a muffled voice due to his neck. “Yeah I missed you to Clark, but it never made you return any sooner did it? Five years Clark, Christ what the hell did you do, and where did you go?”

Clark sighed as she pulled back and looked down at him, waiting for him to answer her. He cleared his throat before sitting up, taking her with him before placing her on the other side of the bed. Chloe sat up and looked at him, truly noticing for the first time that he hadn’t changed a bit in the five years that he had been gone. Sure he currently looked tiered, but apart from that he looked the same as always.

Clark sighed as he rose from the bed after moving the covers aside. He told her “I’ll tell you what I can whilst I do my chores. My mom obviously needs help around here. Plus I’ve got to burry that ship.” Chloe nodded before saying “Right Kent, but don’t think your gonna get out of it by using the chores as a distraction tactic. I’m a mother Clark; I know all the tricks of the trade.”

Clark sighed there was no shaking Chloe once she sunk her teeth into something. He swore motherhood had made her even more stubborn and hard headed. He smirked in a very un-Clark like manner, knowing of away to get rid of her if only for a couple of minutes to buy him some time to get his thoughts together and in order.

He began to slide his t shirt over his head. He watched her smirk as he bared his chest completely. He raised an eye brow as he reached for the waist band of his pants. She rolled her eyes at him and quipped “Nice try Kent you won’t get rid of me and distract me that easily. Trust me you sure as hell haven’t got anything I haven’t seen nor have I explored to a complete and full extent. I know how your body works better then I do my own. I know all of your sensitive and special spots Kent. Just you remember that.”

Clark sighed and replied “I could say the same about you Chlo. I never forgot how you liked, shall we say certain things.” His meaning was loud and clear to Chloe. She laughed and said “Fine I’ll go down stairs and wait for you to come down. But don’t take too long farm boy, or else I’ll come and get you myself.”

He shook his head as Chloe left his bedroom after closing the door behind her. They still occasionally flirted with each other, but it was entirely harmless. It was just something left over from their two year relationship. You could not help but occasionally flirt with someone you had over a year and a half of sexual history with. But when it came down to it, they were just best friends who love to tease and flirt with each other. It honestly couldn’t be helped if it accidentally turned to the subject of their past sex lives.

Clark knew that Chloe no longer saw him like that, as her lover. She was in love with the father of her children. And he was hopelessly in love with Lois Lane. There was no longer anyone else for him that wasn’t Lois Lane, she was it, she was his one and only. Just as he knew no one would ever be able to come close to holding a mere candle to Bruce Wayne in Chloe’s eyes, not even him.
