His Kitty|| Clark Kent

Katherine's pov
i rush around the apartment packing a bag. clark calls "you're going? it sounded dangerous" referring to the call i got to go help in a burning rainforest to save as many animals and rehabilitate them and send those that need it to a sanctuary permanently, or to set them back free when they're healthy enough to do so. it's my job. i reply "it's my job Clark. i have to go. not only that but you know i want to." packing quickly. he hands me a anesthetic for my animal first aid kit and i smile taking it from him "thanks"

"stay away from the flames kitty. please. you know all you have to do is whisper and i'll be there to help" he tells me again for the 1000th time. i nod "i know. superman will be there to save the day. just as he always is." he hugs me "stay safe okay? don't risk your life." i nod and he kisses my temple making butterflies fill my stomach and i push them away.

he's my best friend. that's it. it's all it has to be. he doesn't feel the same. i tell him "i have to go" moving out his arms and i finish packing my bag and what's going to be needed for the animals. he nods "let me get that for you" and i nod with a soft smile to him still sensing his worry.

i walk in school clutching my books to me and pause hearing the head assholes bothering the new kid. i walk over and push them away "hey! leave him alone!" Rick the leader asks "oh kent's got a girlfriend! what are you going to do about this Katherine? cry to mommy-wait...she left you didn't she?" his friends laugh. i snap "good luck passing your english, science and math class. and enjoy being in the 6th grade for the third time is it?" my mom didn't leave me. she died. just a few weeks ago actually. the teachers know. but i don't really have friends or anyone i trust to have gone through it with. besides my dad.

he says "cmon i can't do this grade again Katherine! my parents will kill me" i snap "well i don't tudor assholes. beat it" and they do. i look to the new kid and he says "thank you...you didn't need to..." looking at me in awe i guess. he's pretty cute. dark hair and bright blue eyes. hm. i fill in "katherine." holding my hand out and he takes it and i help him stand "clark...clark kent. thank you" i reply "don't thank me. someone had to stand up to him." with a chuckle. he says "but no one has. been here all but a few days and he's been on my ass and no one's done anything to try to help." "i'm the only one that does. so i guess you're in luck." i say softly with a shrug. he smiles "luck" i lead him to the nurse to get checked out and tell her what happened and sit with clark refusing to leave until i know he's actually okay.

i tell clark "i'll be fine and you'll know if im not" knowing he listens to my heartbeat whenever we're apart to know if im okay or not. i don't mind it. the only time ive asked him not to is when id have a one night stand to try and fill the void of feelings i have for him. it's all just temporary. and nothings ever worked so i haven't in a while. he nods and he asks "got everything?" and runs down my usual list of stuff and i grab the two things i forgot and smile thankfully before heading out to the car that was sent for me before heading to a jet where im flown to africa where the forest is burning.
