Graduation Day

Lex was not a strong man.

Despite all the things he had accomplished that begged to differ.

Lex knew the truth he was not a strong man.

~

Lex knew temptation.

Lex knew it well.

Temptation was an old friend.

A friend, who used him, abused him and then threw him to the side like an old toy.

Sometimes he used temptation like the whore she was.

Like any backstabbing friend temptation usually had something special that drew you back even though you knew better.

That was temptation.

Temptation was a beautiful person who didn’t know better.

Temptation was innocence refined.

Temptation offered you everything and promised you nothing.

Inevitably you give in and you usually have the time of your life and sometimes you paid for it in spades.

Lex froze when he entered the guest room. Oh my god.

When he started breathing normally he whispered, “I shall not want. He will deliver me from temptation.”

Not more than 20 feet in front of him was a wonderful site.  First he saw thing he saw were long tan legs framed by white sheets. A nervous hand found its way to back of his skull it was then he noticed he was trembling. He took another deep breath, steadied himself and began muttering again, “I shall not want.”

The blanket had been kicked to the floor. The sheet was tucked up to his thighs and down to his waist exposing a broad back -- a back that he licked and sucked last night. Unknowingly, his tongue ran across his lower lip.

“He will deliver me from temptation.” Lex valiantly tried to think of calming things as he slowly walked into the room. He glanced around the room.  What he saw made him do a double take. On a chair Clark’s clothes were neatly folded. Usually there was nothing so surprising about that but that meant…

“Oh shit!” he murmured softly.

He was quickly drawn back to the bed when he heard a soft sigh and some rustling fabric. Lex could only stare as Clark’s chest was exposed and the sheets rode up higher on his thighs. Lex was sure that Michelangelo’s David would have been named Clark if Michelangelo saw what he was seeing now. When Clark was 15 he was already a gift.  At 21 he was a god. Lex was strumming with tension. Instinct told him to pounce but reality intruded and reminded him that friends don’t jump friends while sober. Even if said friend had pounced on him last night.

Although Lex wanted to continue staring (well drooling actually) at the heavenly body that was on displayed before him he had a job to do, he would put on a brave non-aroused face and wake his ‘friend’ up. So his ‘friend’ will get back to the campus in time to meet the parents who will be helping to move said ‘friend’ to an apartment that said ‘friend’ “really got on his own” which just happens to be down the block from his apartment. Lex smiled faintly as he remembered last night. His eyes seeing the past instead of the lovely image in front him.

“It’s official Lex! I had my last final. I’m packed and you owe me lots and lots of liquid refreshment!” Clark told him as he waltzed into Lex’s office. Lex smiled at the fact that in 7 years nothing changed. Clark still walked into any office Lex had as if he had a right to be there. Which Lex had silently encouraged even if Clark wasn’t aware of it. Lex’s security and staff knew he was available to Clark 24-7. Not even past girlfriends had that kind of access to him.

“Earth to Lex! Come in!” Clark waved a hand in front of Lex’s face.

“Sorry about that I zoned for a minute.”

“So where are you taking me?” Clark asked.

Lex watched as Clark threw himself into one of the chairs in front of his desk. Lex smiled indulgently.

“Well there’s only one place to go when celebrating one’s graduation from the hallowed halls of Met U."  Clark sat up grinning from ear to ear and they both shouted.

“SCOTTIE’S!”

“Excellent!” Clark beamed. Clark smiled that brilliant smile of his and then walked to the door. “Pick me up at nine. I gotta say good bye to a few people!”

Lex nodded then shooed him out the door with his hand.

At nine the Lincoln Town car pulled up in front of Clark’s dorm. Not driving one of his own cars was his only concession when he planned to imbibe lots of alcohol.  Besides if he drove Clark wouldn’t drink and that was out of the question tonight. He planned to get Clark good and drunk. He would normally get a limo but Clark would balk at the excess and it was easier to get around the city in a Town car than a limo. Clark was leaning against the building looking at the sky and Lex took Clark’s distraction as an opportunity to unashamedly stare at Clark.  Clark was dressed in black pants and an indigo blue button down shirt. The neck was open at the collar and the sleeves were rolled up to the elbow. Black loafers on his feet completed a look of understated elegance. Lex smiled to himself; it seemed he finally got the flannel out of the boy and natural fabrics into the man. He waited until Clark realized he had arrived and tried not to think about how his stomach flipped when Clark smiled that brilliant smile again and walked toward the car. Lex was about to say hello when Clark hugged him. Startled by the unusual action he asked Clark about it.

“What was that for?” he asked Clark, after he returned the hug.

 “For you being you! That’s all.” Clark smiled again.

Lex raised an eyebrow and then shrugged.

“Well graduate let’s get you loaded!”

Off they went and Lex held true to his word. Clark’s hand was never empty and after four hours of drinking it seemed Clark was finally getting drunk! Lex knew that Clark had amazing stamina but this was just incredible. Luckily he was smart enough not to match Clark drink for drink. Between the two of them, they were hit on by what felt like the entire single women population in the bar and a few brave guys. Lex knew something was up but what he didn’t know.  Every time they were approached Clark shifted closer to Lex and more often than not Clark kept a hand on Lex. Either on his arm or his leg, even if Clark was in deep conversation with someone else Clark’s hand seem to absently stroke or rub what ever body part of Lex’s he was touching.

At one point when Clark whispered in his ear that the guy who just tried to hit on him gave the worst blow jobs. Lex almost dropped the glass he was holding as he tried to process that statement. Lex decided to hold back on the drinking because obviously Clark was finally drunk. Since that was the only way he would admit such a thing. Ironically both of them turned down various offers and ended up back in the Lincoln at about 5 in the morning.  Clark was hanging on to Lex for dear life all the while humming some song from the bar and Lex was just enjoying the feel of Clark around him when the car pulled up. Being quite drunk himself but nowhere to the level of Clark, he maneuvered Clark inside before he got in.

After telling the driver to take him home, he figured Clark would sleep it off at his apartment no sense worrying about getting Clark back to the dorm now.  Lex was so preoccupied with his thoughts of taking care of Clark that Lex was surprised a minute later when he suddenly had a mouthful of Clark. Lex was so surprised that when he gasped Clark took it as an opportunity to slip his tongue inside. Lex was momentarily confused but soon the drunk haze he was in melded into a drunk and aroused haze and he kissed Clark back and the years of pent up tension exploded.

Lex reached up and roughly grabbed Clark’s hair, which made Clark moan deep in his throat and then he pulled it back to expose Clark’s neck, which he attacked viciously. Lex bit Clark’s neck with small nips and bathed Clark’s neck with his tongue. Not to be out done Clark had somehow unbuckled his pants and was now stroking his cock. Lex arched into Clark’s touch temporarily forgetting how to think. Clark expertly worked Lex’s cock and just as Lex was about to come Clark bent and swallowed him down. Lex couldn’t help but explode as he was finally seeing one fantasy come true. Clark continued swallowing and licking until Lex stopped shuddering. When Lex could think again he pulled Clark into a slow lingering kiss. His body was feeling slightly lethargic and that was all he could do at the moment. As the kiss started to pick up in intensity, the driver subtly coughed and Lex realized they had reached his apartment. Clark tucked Lex back into his pants and straightened his shirt and then slipped out the car. He walked around to the other door and waited for Lex to get out.

Lex colored faintly when he realized his driver had had a front row seat for the festivities but he was relieved when the driver caught his eye and faint smile graced the driver’s face. Lex made a note to himself --Thomas gets a great big tip and a raise. Lex smiled a wry grin and headed out to see just where this thing between he and Clark was headed. Clark waited patiently at the door of the car and when Lex exited, Clark slipped his arm around Lex’s waist and they both headed upstairs. As soon as the apartment door closed, Clark pounced and suddenly all Lex could think or feel was Clark. It felt like Clark was everywhere all at once. He could feel the power in Clark’s thighs. He could feel Clark’s erection on his hip. He could feel how easily Clark’s arms wrapped around him and held him in place. Lex was up against the wall and Clark was trying to reach the back of his mouth with his tongue.

Something was wrong.

When Clark finally let go of his mouth and Lex was gasping for breath something in Lex’s brain was starting to kick in. Something was wrong but he didn’t know what “it” was but “it” is something. After years of flirting and innuendo what changed? Why now? Was it the alcohol? Did Clark finally feel free enough to act on this? To change their relationship so suddenly with no discussion or anything what did he miss? Lex’s body was ready - really ready - Clark was sucking on his collarbone and that really drove him crazy - he had to stop this. Truth be told he wanted his first time with Clark to be…well special. He certainly did not want their first time to be in a drunken haze that Clark could so conveniently forget in the morning. If Clark wanted to do this, then they would but not like this-- not with an easy way out. If he was going to lose a friend damn it, he would do it right. He would be damned if his dick got in the way. So Lex did the hardest thing he ever had to do. He pulled himself out of Clark’s grip and uttered words he never thought he would say especially if he ever found himself in this position.

“Clark Stop.” He gasped.

“Stop what? This?” Clark answered as he nibbled on Lex’s neck.

“Or this?” Clark questioned and he started rocking himself against Lex.

“All of it!” Lex moaned as his body started to respond to Clark’s teasing.

“Aww! Lex you’re no fun!” Clark pouted as he reluctantly pulled away. “You are terribly…responsible when you’re drunk!”

Lex raised his eyebrow in mock annoyance as Clark uttered the word ‘responsible’ as if it were really a dirty word.  Lex sighed deep and then pulled out the lamest excuse to ever come from his lips. “You need to sleep.” Then it was Clark’s turn to raise an eyebrow.

“What? It’s true! Someone has to meet his parents in…” Lex looked at his watch. “In six hours.”

Clark groaned and banged his head against the wall.

“I’m sure your dad.” Clark cut him off with a loud groan.

“I get it. Stopping...” After that half statement Clark pulled Lex to him and kissed him long and deep. Then just as suddenly he walked away. When Clark was finished Lex was panting. If Lex was thinking straight he might have noticed that Clark walked and talked as if he hadn’t had a drink all night. As it was his mind was still on Clark’s mouth by time he realized he was standing alone in the hallway. Lex leaned against the wall and looked at the ceiling. He should do the right thing here. He should walk away but he was not a saint and right now he decided he would let his dick do the thinking. With a deep breath and slight bit of heartache, he followed Clark into the guest room.

So here it was 9AM in the morning and Lex was trying very hard to forget that the man on the bed had just fucked him through the mattress not more than a few hours ago, Lex thought about the parents he will be meeting in 2 hours. He realized approaching the bed would be a mistake so he decided to call out from the door. Before he could say anything, Clark sat up and yawned hugely his eyes blinking in sunlight. Clark looked around and when he saw Lex he smiled. It was a sleepy little smile and then Clark patted the bed. Lex smiled back took a steadying deep breath and walked to the bed. He approached the bed warily as if any moment Clark would really wake up and realize what he did. Lex sat down gingerly and avoided looking at Clark for the moment. He stiffened when he felt Clark’s hands on his back. Then he sighed when he felt Clark’s lips on his neck. Clark’s hands led a gentle yet persistent assault on Lex’s body. Lex decided to just go with flow. Then he felt Clark’s lips whisper in his ear.

“I wasn’t drunk last night.” Lex felt Clark nibble on his lobe. Clark started kissing his neck and then he whispered in Lex’s other ear. “Did you think I’d play it off this morning?”

Lex groaned “Yess.” Then he leaned into Clark’s body then asked. “What changed?”

Clark easily pulled Lex fully on to the bed. Then Clark arranged himself between Lex’s legs. “I graduated.”

“That’s important how?” Lex questioned.

“I am no longer under my parent’s control.” Clark traced Lex’s eyebrow with his thumb as he absently answered Lex’s question.

“Really?” Lex was distracted by the gentle touch.

“I made a promise.” Clark’s hand stilled as he said this.

“And?” Lex prompted.

“I kept it.” Clark smiled a small secretive smile.

“And now? Lex asked.

“And now I. Want. You.” Clark looked into Lex’s hazel eyes and his tongue sneaked out and licked the corner of his own mouth.

“Is that all?” Lex drew back when he realized what Clark just said.

“No.” Clark’s voice was husky with desire. “It’s just the beginning.” Clark leaned back and let Lex evaluate the depth of what he just said.

Lex looked into Clark’s eyes and all he saw was heat.

Enough talk Lex decided and proceeded to take advantage of the bounty that was laid out before him. This time there was no rush. There was no alcohol dulling his senses. There was nothing to separate him from the reality of the situation. When Lex finally realized how serious Clark was he took control and all at once, Clark melted Lex’s embrace. Lex decided that there is nothing better in the world than Clark’s mouth.  No scratch that. There was nothing better than Clark; all of Clark. With extreme tenderness and a whole lot of love, Lex made love to Clark.

Lex relieved himself of his robe and boxers and removed the sheet that was tangled around Clark and stared. Slow and unhurried, Lex explored Clark. Lex found out that Clark was really sensitive on his inner thighs. Lex discovered that he could drive Clark into a babbling, mindless and quivering mass of flesh when he had his tongue in Clark’s behind. Lex relished how perfect he felt when he was inside Clark. Lex thought that the feel of being inside Clark was intense but that was nothing compared to what he felt when he saw Clark come. Clark was breathtaking. His eyes were shut tight, teeth bared and the muscles in his arms and chest bursting out. Clark’s entire body radiated power and Lex came without a moment later, calling out Clark’s name in that final moment. When Lex woke he realized Clark was wrapped around him.

Sadly Lex looked at the clock.  It was noon! Shit! They were so late.

“Clark!”

“Mmmm.” Clark shifted slowly against him.

“Clark, get up!”

“Don’t wanna!” Mumbled Clark sleepily.

“Clark, it's twelve!”

“Yes and?” Clark grumbled as he buried his face in Lex’s neck.

“Twelve o’ clock!” When no comprehension followed Lex shook Clark. “You’re parents Clark.”

“Yes, what about them?” Clark’s voice was rough with his sleepy reply.

Highly annoyed at this point Lex barely ground out an answer.

“Yes Clark. What about them Clark?”

Hearing Lex’s patience run out Clark ran a soothing hand down Lex’s chest. “I called them already, they won’t arrive until 4. We have plenty of time.”

“When?”

“I called them yesterday. I told them that I would be celebrating my graduation.” Clark smiled wickedly before he continued.  “And early morning would be a bad time to come pick me up.”

Lex nearly shoved Clark out of the bed he was so ticked.

“Let me get this straight. You. Set. Me. Up!”

Clark smirked a bit at Lex’s outrage and tightened his hold on Lex before Lex could bolt out of bed.

“I did no such thing. I believe that’s your specialty.”

Calming down a bit Lex stared at Clark like he never saw him before.

“What was this promise?”

Clark furrowed his brow in confusion.

“What?”

“This morning you said you made a promise. What was it?”

Clark smiled faintly.

“I did wonder when you were going to ask about that.”

Lex gave a pointed look.

Clark quickly continued.

“You see Mom figured it out before I did and she made me promise.”

“She figured out what and what did you promise?” Lex differentiated.

“Mom figured out that I was head over heels in love with you.” Lex’s mouth dropped open, which Clark took as a sign to continue.

“So she made me promise that I would finish school before I did anything.”

Clark waited to see if Lex would interrupt. Seeing the slightly shocked look on his face, he continued. “She wanted me to be sure you were what I wanted. She said I really should experience college life without all scrutiny of who you are and being “out” on campus. So I agreed.”

It seemed Lex was over his shock because after that he raised his hand and traced Clark’s face.

“Yesterday you graduated.” He surmised as all the pieces fell into place.

“Yeah, I did.” Clark answered, when he saw Lex had gotten it.

Lex smiled. It was a small smile that lit up his entire face. Clark smiled back. It was that brilliant smile that Lex had seen more often in the last two days than most of the time they had been friends. Their friendship was ending but hopefully their friendship was a strong enough base to build something wonderful together.

Well we shall see what this will become.
