[for Chloe]

[hero_farmboy]

Clark is not nervous. Not at all. That pacing he's doing outside Chloe's apartment building? Totally not nerves. It's just a second date and the first one was the one he was nervous over. This one should be a breeze.

He just needs a minute.

Finally, after taking a quick look around to make sure no one's watching, he takes a deep breath and speeds up to her apartment, knocking lightly on the door.

It's hard to not just walk in.

"Yeah, I don't think we're compatible in that way," Clark says in what he hopes is a reassuring tone. And then he gives her an odd look. "Uh, not that I'm aware of? I don't get sick, anyway."

Then he adds after a brief pause. "Well, twice, I guess but those were special circumstances."

"Okay."

She can live with that. She's pretty sure of it anyway.

"Good to know," Chloe murmurs before yawning sleepily. She moves closer to Clark, resting against his arm. "Think you can you stay the night? I'll order take out from Szechuan Palace"

Clark smiles and kisses her forehead, slipping that arm around her and tugging her closer.

"That sounds good. I doubt I'll be missed for one night."

"Cool," Chloe murmurs as she snuggles up against him.

She closes her eyes, content just to lay there. A nap before dinner hasn't ever hurt anyone.

And it probably never will.

Clark smiles again and closes his eyes as well, though chances are he won't fall asleep. Just listening to Chloe's familiar heartbeat is relaxing enough.
