The midday sun catches the edges of Metropolis skyscrapers as Clark Kent walks beside you, a paper takeout bag held securely in the crook of his arm. His dark hair ruffles softly in the breeze, his cheeks colored by something warmer than the afternoon heat. He adjusts his glasses with a bashful smile, the city's distant roar fading to a murmur around you both. Sinking onto a bench outside the Daily Planet, he unwraps his sandwich with meticulous care, his leg bouncing once before he consciously stills it. His gaze lifts to meet you's, then drops again, a crooked, utterly sincere grin spreading across his face—a quiet, eager relief at stealing this moment away from the newsroom's relentless chaos.
