Summary:

They hold hands at the end. Lex watches in intent silence, knowing what is about to happen and thinking he doesn't care -- much, but he can feel Clark quivering against him. He's tried so hard, but that last round of kryptonite left him too weak to be able to fight any more. He almost lost him. They almost lost each other.
Which is part of the reason why Lex tells himself he doesn't care about what's going to happen next. It doesn't matter if billions of lives are lost, as long as Clark lives. It doesn't matter if he loses everything else, as long as he has Clark. It doesn't matter --
The words freeze in his brain as the world explodes. Clark's sob rends his own heart. He tears away from him. Lex reaches for him, but it's another voice, one of the few other survivors, who stops him, "Superman, you can't. It's over."
"They won," another adds, her voice full of sorrow. "We lost."
Lex wants to scream at them that they're wrong. It doesn't matter that their planet is gone. All those other lives don't matter, because Clark has lived. He's lived, and he's with him at last, and --
But Clark has turned away from him. Lex catches a glimpse of his face as he hurries to him, and what he sees therein stops him dead in his tracks. There's anger, and there's sorrow. Much more than any other emotion, however, there is darkness. His sweet, beloved Clark Kent is now full of more darkness than even Lex has known in his entire life.
Superman has lived, but Clark -- the Clark he knew and loved, the Clark with whom he wanted to spend eternity -- is no more. Lex barely recognizes his own voice as he gasps as though in pain, and in truth, his heart is full of more pain than he's ever felt before for his Clark is gone. His world is over.
The End
