Okay so this is like the third Smallville fic I've ever written but I've never posted one before, I've posted a few One Tree Hill fics before and gotten some nice feedback so i decided what the hell might aswell post this! This fic's mythology is a little different from Smallville's. First off it begins about six months after the season six finale. It's generally fluff so don't expect me to go into great detail about how things went down after the finale. Also promise happened very differently so ignore any Clana that happened from then on because in my Smallville universe it doesn't exist, basically Lana married Lex and they are still together it's a little more complex than that but i will explain it in the fic. Also Lois, Clark and Kara are the only ones out of the cast left in Smallville/Metropolis and have been for a few months and Kara is much younger than Lois/Clark she's around 16. So yeah this is just a little ficlet about Clark and Lois's 'feelings' and how much they've come to realise they mean to each other.

Chapter one.

There are certain people you just keep coming back to; she is right in front of you.

"Lois move." Clark commanded as the brunette dramatically planted herself in front of the television.

With a huff she stood her ground squaring her shoulders. "This is my apartment farmboy in case you've forgotten! Not your mom's apartment over the talon, my brand new apartment in Metropolis and i won't tell you again, get your great big dirty feet off my property!"

He eyed her quizzically, trying to hide a smile that threatened to escape as she tried unsuccessfully to push his feet of her coffee table.

Lois let out an annoyed sigh. 'What was he made of? Steel?' she thought as she tried once more to force his legs down with no avail.

And if she was honest with herself she'd admit she wasn't trying that hard to move them. She'd gotten used to seeing Smallville stretched out on her sofa over the last few months. Seeing him so relaxed and at ease like that gave her a warm confusing feeling she couldn't identify, something close to comfort.

"Don't make me get Kara to kick your ass when you get home!" She threatened, smirking when he visibly cringed.

"Lois, can you please stop encouraging her! I swear she seems like she's related to you more than me!" Clark rolled his eyes as he pushed her lightly out the way continuing to watch the TV.

Lois let out a gasp of indignation as she stumbled slightly, "Hey don't man handle me buddy!" Sensing Clark's mood was waning she took a seat next to him trying hard not to twitch at the site of his feet still firmly planted on the table.

As Clark become lost in the plot unfolding before them Lois took her time carefully scrutinizing the man before her. His strong muscular body was hidden under flannel and jeans, his raven hair was unkempt and unruly; and lurking behind his blue eyes was a murky sadness.

Sadness that had a lot to go with loss; his father's death, Lex's constant betrayal's, Lana's ultimatum, his mother's new job, and Chloe moving away all took its toll on Clark.

But sometimes when he smiled the blue orbs transformed and appeared crystal clear, which reminded Lois of the ocean. Some days she felt like she could stare at them forever and get lost and other days she wondered what it would be like to look at those eyes through sleepy lashes, curled up in bed with his muscular body keeping her warm.

She coughed slightly shaking her head of the delusional thoughts and re focused her attention on the show.

Clark Kent was handsome and had a certain charm about him; yes she'd known that from the first time she'd laid eyes on him. But he was also completely obsessed with his ex-girlfriend not too mention the fact that he once held some resemblance of romantic feelings for her very own cousin.

No, fantasying about Clark Kent was not an option. Looking at Clark as anything other than a friend was not an option. He was her colleague, her partner at the Daily planet.

That was the end of it.
