Although neither Clark or Lex felt complete without the other, there were still things about each other which they were constantly struggling to understand. Lex had succeeded in reaching an understanding and even adoring most of Clark's country ways, but he still struggled to understand a few things, like his affinity for greens, his seemingly never-ending appetite, and his preference of country music. He still wished, every time Clark turned on a country station, that something would happen to the radio.
One Spring day, Lex finally found a reason to like such music. They were riding together in Mister Kent's truck. Clark was driving with one arm wrapped around Lex, and though the ride was jostling and yokels were screeching on the radio, their close snuggling still filled Lex with joyous warmth. His eyes lifted to his love in surprise when Clark began to shyly sing along with the radio in his deep voice. Despite the radio's screeching, Lex soon heard only his sweet Clark, and he reveled in a country love song for the first time.
When they came to a stop shortly thereafter, Lex found his breath stolen away by the sight before them. A meadow, filled only with butterflies, wild flowers, green grass, and blue sky, stretched before them for miles on end. Lex's heart went leaping beyond the fluffy, white clouds when Clark opened his door with his arms full of a blanket, take-out Chinese, and one of his mother's pitchers of sweet tea. Lex's heart soared and did loops of perfect joy throughout the sky as he accepted his love's hand and slipped into paradise. Right then and there, he secretly swore to never again be bothered by country's silly love songs for he never knew what other sweet treats might be waiting just beyond.
