But in Canon, Lex is ALWAYS the one initiating contact. Never Clark. Wonder what the reason is.

*blinks*

I never looked at it like that, but you're right. I wonder why it is that as writers, we always develop Lex as the standoffish one, when he obviously very much is not on the show?? I mean, he is with others but never with Clark.

Interesting thought. Perhaps Lex always craves contact and Clark is the only one he trusts enough to allow that contact to occur with. Whereas, when I think about it, Clark isn't very touchy-feely with anyone beyond his parents. Even when he was dating Lana he seemed a little stiff. (That came out wrong).

Hmmm. I'm going to have to pay more attention to this.
