Title: Silence
Characters: Lex, Clark
Spoilers: vaguely upcoming eps, but no details

Not betaed.

Ok, so I was in a bad mood, read spoilers on aelora's board and had two seperate nightmares playing out this season finale. It was extremely painful.

I'll open the svart update tomorrow. I'm too tired. But it's done, so that means lots of art tomorrow.

The silence is painful and tangible, his
throat closed.

He can’t even begin to voice what‘s inside
his head, his rational thought urging him to take one step at a time.

 

“You tried to stop me.”

 

Lex stares in Clark’s
direction. For the first time, the impression on the boy was unreadable to him.
Did he ever know this person?

 

“Yes”. The reply is almost a whisper. Be  ashamed, he thought. I gave you everything and this is what I
get in return? He doesn’t voice it. This time, it had concerned him. This
time he’d had the right to know.

 

“Just tell me why.”

 

“I don’t know.”

 

It’s not good enough.

 

“I think you better leave,” he says. He
can’t stand to look at Clark right now. Can’t stand to be in the same room with him. He knows he taunt, that any minute he’ll fall apart. But
not in front of his friend.

 

“Lex, I can explain.”

 

And
maybe you can. But I doubt that can be enough.

 

“It’s too late, Clark.”

 

He looks at the boy. Clark
looks genuinely frightened. Like he’s scared to loose him.

But it’s for the best. Cut it now, before it’s too late.

 

Too late.
