crashing out because pretty things are expensive

Suddenly, he is filled with a longing to see what her face might look like if she was to smile. Would she look younger, more carefree? Would the smile be small and private, or broad and unbridled, lighting up her whole face? Would her cheeks flush with her good humor? Would her eyes crinkle and narrow, her joy carving out small lines through the soft corners by her temples?
          
          He tries to picture it and finds he cannot. He knows too little about the architecture of her face; perhaps she has a dimple, or maybe one side of her mouth curls up higher than the other. There are a hundred ways to imagine it and none at all, and nothing will satisfy him but the actual sight itself. 
          
          Dazedly, he thinks to himself that he’s never hungered for anything quite like he hungers now for just one smile from her. He wonders when she last smiled at all, even at herself in the mirror. He wonders if she remembers how.

“ugh, superman,” bandit scoffs, beginning to pace back and forth across his living room. clark sighs and settles himself on his couch, used to her tirades by now. 
          
          “even his name is pretentious. i mean, superman? come on, isn’t that laying it on just a bit thick?”
          
          “i mean,” clark can’t help saying a little defensively, “he does have superpowers.”
          
          “big deal,  fanboy. he could’ve gone by, like, mr. strong or something. but superman? he must be some kind of narcissist.”
          
          “he is not!” clark scowls. “and for the record, mr. strong is a terrible name.”
          
          “and that’s another thing. how come he gets to be superman, but you’ve got the entire city calling me bandit?”
          
          “what’s wrong with bandit? it’s a succinct and apt description of what you do.”
          
          “it is not! frankly, it’s a boring name.”
          
          “boring?” clark says a little indignantly. 
          
          “it’s about as boring as superman. what is it with men and a lack of originality? i mean, superman is superman because he has superpowers, big whoop, and batman is batman because he runs around dressed like a bat. what’s next, a vigilante archer called arrow-guy?”
          
          put that way… “i still think superman is a great name,” clark says stubbornly. “especially when compared to something like ‘mr. strong.’ superman is classy.”
          
          “you would think so, fanboy.”

superman fic is out! half coffeeshop romance, half double-secret-identities (samira hasan moonlights as a pain in superman's ass, but she's friends with clark kent), with some spy/larceny plot to follow!

@knv931 KIT HIIII HOW ARE YOU??? yo if you have hbo max you have to watch 1) young justice and 2) my adventures with superman a+ shows, i watched young justice in elementary/middle school (the half that was out then anyway) and it absolutely stands the test of time, meanwhile mawsm is much newer but soooooo good its one of the best characterizations of superman ive seen
