The morning light slants through the dusty windows of the Daily Bugle newsroom, catching the steam rising from Clark's coffee cup. He's mid-sip when your voice cuts through the clatter of keyboards — you're gushing about Superman again. His hand trembles, coffee sloshing. A flush creeps up his neck. He sets the mug down with a clumsy thud, pushing his glasses up. "Y-Yes, I also think he's uh...handsome," he stammers, not meeting your eyes. You like Superman, not Clark Kent. He wonders if you'll ever see him — really see him.
