A Kryptonian's Fixation

Clark: Admitting to Lois

Darkseid was a bastard. He really didn't know when to quit or stop. He just wanted to destroy the universe and rebuild it so it would fit his image. What a disgusting thought. It annoyed the hell out of me, especially seeing as I had to use my only sick and vacation days to do this mission!

So, yeah, it took a few days to actually beat him before we were able to get back. It did feel nice not to hold back and smack that bastard around too till the others were able to Boom-Tube him back to Apokolips along with some type of equipment virus. He wouldn't be coming back for a good while.

When we finally landed in the Watchtower, J'onn was already waiting for us. I just wanted to go home and talk with Bruce, I wasn't able to do that so far away from Earth, but it seemed like that was going to take a while.

"Debrief before you leave. Batman's orders." The green alien hummed in his usual monotone way.

I sighed and nodded. Batman wouldn't let me live it down if I didn't debrief everyone on what happened. Thankfully, it didn't take long, even though Batman wasn't there to complain or comment on how I was speeding through everything.

When I had finally gotten to my apartment, I was able to call that hot billionaire. Listening to him made everything feel better. We had even made a plan for an actual date! A date!

"You look like you're floating on clouds." Lois hummed as she walked over to me, raising an eyebrow at me. "And you rang?"

I nodded, looking away. The call, as much as it had relaxed me, had made me a damn blushing mess for the rest of the day. I'm no idiot, I guess I was just purposefully trying not to notice how I felt, and I now had only a few hours before he came to pick me up.

"I think I like Bruce..."

"Of course, you do, he's got a nice personality behind all the playboy and he's seemingly a good father-figure to the little genius." As she talked, she sat across from me, a smirk on her lips and her eyes practically narrowed.

I gave her a mock glare before shaking my head.

"You want me to spell it out, don't you?" Her smirk widened as she leaned back in her classic reporter pose. I sighed, my face warming more as I thought of the words. "I think I'm in love with Bruce."

I quickly covered my face and groaned in embarrassment. How could I have been in love with Lois for years but not act like this yet be in love with a billionaire playboy for barely a month and practically act like a schoolgirl!

"Ha! Knew it! The two of you were practically eye fucking each other."

I felt the tips of my ears burn.

"We were?" My voice pitched and we both winced at it.

She gave me a quick laugh and nodded.

"Yeah. The deepening voices, the way both of your eyes scanned each other up and down. Honestly, every time we had dinner, didn't you notice the both of you would 'accidentally' touch at any given opportunity?"

My eyes widen at her words.

"I was doing that?" I was practically horrified with what I was learning. I-I had at least been liking him since then?!

Lois laughed more, finally standing up and walking over to my closet.

"I take it one of you manned up and asked the other out?" She opened it without hesitation and began to riffle through my clothes.

"Y-Yeah... He's picking me up and I'm picking the place. Causal."

She nodded her head, putting back the only fancy-looking clothes that I had and turned her attention to my nicer causal ones.

"Is it that place near here or the one across the city?"

"It's the middle of the city, but yeah..."

She paused and gave me an amused look before finally pulling out a jade-green plaid button shirt with a white tank top and simple faded Demin jeans.

"You should style your hair more nicely. It'll look like you care." She stayed as she laid the clothes on the bed. She then pointed to my bathroom door. "Shower and change."

I nodded and did as she ordered. I was thankful that she was willing to help me with this. At least then I wouldn't make a complete mess of myself. He was a playboy and had publicly dated dozens of hot models and actresses. I didn't want to embarrass him should anyone figure out who he was and take our pictures.

When I was dried and had pulled on the clothes, Lois began to comb and this mess up and comb my hair. Yes, in that order. It was clear she was trying to go for a certain style. Eventually she smiled brightly and finally left my hair alone.

"Done." She hummed as she passed me my glasses.

I smiled in thanks to her, when I heard a knock at my door. I practically froze, my eyes widening. Was that him? Was Bruce already here?

Lois laughed, shaking her head before she went to the door and opened it.

"Ms. Lane? I knew you lived the building, but I didn't expect to find you here." A suave voice called out.

"Hello, Bruce. Don't worry, just helping ol' Kansas boy over here get ready. Though I never thought I'd see the day."

'Why is she flirting with him?'

I moved out from where I was basically hiding to greet him but stopped. Bruce Wayne, the billionaire to be, was dressed casually in black jeans with a deep blue V-neck shirt paired with black leather jacket. His hair was tossed in a 'just had good sex' way that made his smoldering blue eyes even more breath-taking.

I could hear his breath hitch and his heart rate accelerate, even as his face stayed calm.

"I hope I didn't under-dress." He teased, giving me a smirk.

I felt like I had something in my throat, preventing any words from coming out. Yet, I managed to shake my head, giving a nervous laugh.

"N-No, where we're going, you're dressed perfectly." I assured the best I could.

His smile relaxed as he nodded. His eyes then looked to Lois, who looked to be enjoying the show.

"I think I'm going to steal away your 'Kansas boy', if you don't mind, Ms. Lane."

She snickered as I felt my face warm. I usually didn't like it when other people had called me that, yet... I didn't mind it as much when it came from him.

"No problem, just bring him home before midnight, and if you're going to have sex, use protection~" She waved her hand behind her as she slipped into her own apartment.

Both of our faces were hot at her implication. We weren't like that though! I doubt we were going to even kiss tonight!

"W-We should get going, right?" Bruce gave me a thankful look and nodded.

I really hope this date goes well... I really like him.
