Unexpected

Smallville, Clark Kent/Lex Luthor

An entry for dodecal Challenge #7. "A Smallville character (or characters) receives a surprise. A surprise that's either welcome, unwelcome, or both. Describe what happens!"

A variation on my story "The Best-Laid Plans," for oxoniensis’ Clex Hexed Sex challenge.

Lex opened the manor door himself this time, when the bell rang at 12:59. Clark was only one minute early.

"Hi," he said, stepping inside.

"You're early."

"We had a date, didn't we?" Clark pressed a small bouquet of late-autumn mums and asters into Lex's hand.

"Mine?"

"Just wanted our first time to be special."

"It will be," Lex assured him, and Clark moved in for a kiss.

"We've waited so long," Clark was fidgeting, practically standing on tiptoe.

"I thought you should be seventeen," Lex reminded him, "And, the day has finally come. But first, a drink?"

"Lex, I'm seventeen today, not twenty-one."

"Just this once," Lex opened the study door.

"Surprise! Happy Birthday, Clark!"

"Mom...Dad...Chloe...Lana...Pete. What a surprise!" Clark sputtered, blushing, teeth clenched. He glared balefully at Lex.

"I'll kill you," he muttered.

"We'll celebrate later, I promise." Lex chuckled. "Just us."
