Title: Just Married Author: Nadia Mack Rated: K+ Disclaimer: I Own Nothing Summary: Lois and Clark got married and neither knows how they got there. Author's Notes: I got bored so I started something new. My draft for Metamorphosis is in the office, hence why there are no updates for that. I dare not redo it, I'm much too lazy to even try to attempt it. Thanks Marcy for the tag line.
Prologue: A Night Shouldn't Forget
Standing right outside the lavish hotel room, he stood before her with a roguish lop-sided grin. He looked irresistible in his black tux. She had to do a double take when she saw just how handsome he was.
"You really do fit that suit very well"
He shrugged. "They're rented"
"You could've bought them and kept the price tag hidden"
"You should've came with me when I picked it out"
"We would never have made it out the dressing room"
"Now that you've mentioned it, you should've definitely came with me," he winked, pulling a bouquet of white lilies from behind his back. "I tried to get red roses, but hotel management was threatening to charge me for thievery if I touched their garden."
As he pulled her body against his and breathed in deeply the soft fragrance of her hair, he felt all the years of intense alienation dissolving inside of him. He kissed her deeply, feeling her body rise against his. The white lilies he brought for her fell from his hands to their feet, and barriers both had never known they'd built were suddenly melting away.
The feeling of loneliness was gone.
He felt her inching him toward the bed now, her whisper soft in his ear. "How long has it been since your last time?" she lightly teased.
"About a year ago," he said, kissing her again. "I'm sorry if I'm not very good"
She maneuvered him onto his back on the soft Serta mattress, easing her slender body down on top of his.
"But you're making it really easy to learn fast," he said, breathless as he savored her touch through the white satin dress. "God, you feel amazing"
"Right back at you," she whispered, unbuttoning his pants. "Why do I get the feeling we're gonna regret this in the morning"
He sighed. "But not tonight." He didn't feel like himself, not entirely, but he didn't care.
They both didn't.
She shed her dress, dropping it unceremoniously to the floor. "Don't I know it"
Many hours later and a feeling of satisfaction embodying his morning rise, he moved to find himself accompanied by another person's warm embrace. His eyes snap open at the implication.
Oh my God.
He looked around to what looks like a hotel room with unfamiliarity. He looked down on himself and saw that he was completely naked. Trying not to stare, he glanced over to his companion and realized who she was immediately.
"Lois?"
After hearing the sound of her name, Lois groggily opened her eyes. Sunlight pierced through the blinds hitting her straight in the eye. She held out a hand to prevent any further blindness to her morning when the man's voice startled her senses wide-awake.
"Clark?"
They stared each other in their uncomfortable positions for a moment until sharing a, "What the hell?" in simultaneous bafflement.
She tugged on the bed sheets as Clark jumped out of bed with two pillows, one covering each important body part.
"Clark, what are you doing here?" she asked, aghast.
"What am I doing here?" he repeated her question himself. "What are you doing here?"
"Apparently, I was sleeping"
"Naked?" he questioned alarmingly.
With the morning confusion, she finally registered her lack of clothing and tugged on her bed sheets around her even tighter.
"Oh"
It was at this point that neither of them knew what to say. Everything was a blur. Lois didn't know what had happened the previous night and apparently, it went the same with Clark. Their memories, completely blank. It freaked them both out because now they woke up in a hotel room, naked and worst of all, they woke up in a hotel room naked together.
How absurd and wrong is that?
"There's got to be an explanation for this," he recommended as a means to rationalize the situation, but unfortunately, it fell flat.
"Yeah, and while you do that, I'm gonna go change." With the speed of a professional Olympic hurdler, she got out of bed with the bed sheets still tightly wrapped around her, wandering around the room picking up all her loose clothing. This morning wasn't getting any better and the outcome is becoming even bleaker.
Clark stayed put waiting for her to close the door of the bathroom before looking all over the place for his own clothes.
He sighed, confused until the doorbell rang.
Instead of opening it, he talked through it. "Yes!"
"Um… good morning, Mr. Kent. We've got your breakfast ready," the person behind it announced.
With curiosity, he opened the door and a man pushed a cart in with the morning's food arrangement and a vase full of fresh lilies. Clark continued to look on confused.
"Uh… thank you"
"Will you and the Mrs. need anything else?"
It was too obvious a slip for Clark not to notice.
"Excuse me?"
"Will you and your wife be needing anything else?"
Clark raised his eyebrows, stunned to silence. After a beat, he could only shake his head. To the hotel staff, that was a signal for them to leave. And leave they did. Once he was alone, he closed his eyes and prayed it wasn't true.
"Umm… Lois!"
"What?" she said, coming out fully dressed. She saw Clark's shocked expression. "What's wrong?"
He turned to her direction and held out his left hand, the gold band on his ring finger shining. Lois is speechless. He couldn't mean what he could possibly mean. So once she looked down into her own hand, all hope that the last 12 hours were some gigantic mistake came fading away.
It just got ten times worse.
They were married.
