"I just don't understand," Clark persisted, popping one chocolate ball after another into his mouth and savagely chewing through each soft, gooey center in turn.
Lex sighed wearily and ran his hands over his tired, aching head. He loved Clark with all of his being, but this continuous argument exhausted him! Why couldn't Clark understand what a Hell his life would become if the media ever realized their relationship? Why couldn't he accept that Lex was just trying to protect him from the soulless creatures forever hounding his every step?! Didn't he know that constantly having a camera shoved into one's face was anything but fun?
His fingers splayed apart on his face, and his blue eyes flashed as Clark demanded yet again, "You say I'm good enough for you, Lex, but if so and if you really love me, why don't you want the world to know?!" As a crystalline tear slipped from Clark's baby blues, the last of Lex's fragile control broke.
"Damn it, Clark!" he hissed and promptly reached across the table and grabbed fist fulls of Clark's flannel shirt. Snatching him to him, Lex licked the chocolate off of Clark's lips. As the flurry of cameras went off, which Lex had known would be immediate even here in quaint Smallville, he pressed his lips to Clark's in a mind-whirling kiss. His tongue thrust deep into his sweet, innocent mouth as he drank ravenously of him, and to Lex's secretly delighted surprise, Clark eagerly returned his kiss with full passion and twisted his own tongue against Lex's with a soft moan.
Their kiss continued to deepen and grow ever more passionate as all the townspeople continued to stare, the reporters kept snapping their pictures, and Lex began plotting how to make the reporters forget when Clark finally wisened.
