A/N: This is for the brilliant @cavillanche ‘s writing challenge. She has tipped me into the Henry trash and I’m just swimming about in here so figured I should probably contribute something to the fandom.
Also, full disclosure, drunk me did the final edit so this could have a few interesting mistakes in it, so look out for them!
Clark sat on the steps, watching the dance floor being put together, with mixed emotions. He was glad to be home, glad to spend time with his mom, especially her birthday, but this was yet another event he had been planning on attending with Lois. Another reminder of the heartache. Another reminder that he was alone.
“I’d offer you a penny for your thoughts, but from the look on your face I’d say they were weightier than that. Maybe a dollar?” Martha smiled down at her son before taking a seat beside him.
I looooooove how you write Clarke Kent 💜 he’s so unaware of how wonderful and sweet he truly really is. 😘
