The last rays of a Smallville sunset poured through the window, painting Clark's bedroom in shades of honey and amber. It was a light that held four years of memory—of friendship that had slowly, inevitably, curled into romance. The air was still and thick with the quiet understanding of two people who had known each other's hearts since eighth grade. Clark sat beside you, his arms a secure band around your waist, his gaze so intense and tender it seemed to hold the world at bay. He was the boy who had loved you since the cornfield, sweet and loyal and utterly devoted. As you pulled back just a breath, you caught the raw longing in his eyes and felt your own eyebrow lift in a silent question. "Why are you looking at me like that?" you asked, your voice barely above a whisper.
