Clark punched Lex, barely checking his fist before turning his back
and walking away. He heard a soft, hurt (physical there, but also
emotional) voice call out after him.
"You're just like the rest of them Clark. Just like the rest."
Clark ignored him and kept walking until he was out the house and a
ways from it before speeding off. He stopped by a deserted field and
collapsed down on the grass. Lex's words suddenly came to him, and he
tried to push back the guilt that came with them. 'No Lex is the one
who lied to me. The only reason I'm like everyone else now is because
I know what a fucking lying bastard.'
His hypocritical thoughts did little to relieve his pain. Before Lex
spilled his guts he'd revealed his love for Clark. "Why do you love
me Lex?"
"Because you're the only real person I know. The only one who takes
my faults and forgives them, puts them behind and moves on. You're
the only one who cared enough to know the man behind the name. You're
the only one I've loved since my mother, and I think you'll be the
only one forever."
Clark had been able to see the sincerity and vulnerability in his
eyes even as he told Clark what caused him to lose control lash out,
and turn his back. Then they had turned ice and empty, shutting down
whatever emotion that had been present.
'Why couldn't Lex leave well enough alone? I had no choice but to
break our friendship... No matter that I have to lie too, I have an
excuse, to protect my family and myself.' He tried to ignore the
queasy, vast blackness creeping up within him, that he lost more
than 'just' a friend, more like a soulmate. But he wanted to be as
normal as possible and that meant ignoring Lex's looks and obsessing
over Lana, not reciprocating words of undying love. Though the thing
that scared him was that he felt the connection between them and that
maybe, just maybe he could have something with him...
'If this wasn't the right thing to do, I would know...Besides Dad
will be happy to hear that a Luthor is out of my life.'
Clark got up and wandered around the field to take his mind off of
the ache in his chest and felt a slight weakening. He looked up and
saw a warehouse in the distance. 'Isn't that where Lex had Dr.
Hamilton staying?' He found out about Lex's involvement in the
Nicodemus flower incident when Lex had broken down and told him that
afternoon, along with several other confessions.
As he walked closer he noticed a strange feeling in his belly and
looked down to see purple glittery shards on the ground the closer he
got to the warehouse. He backed up from the building when the strange
feeling turned into outright nausea. 'Is it meteor rocks? They're not
green though.' He backed up and then turned kicking his speed into
gear, towards the Luthor manor, getting ready to drill Lex on the
shards.
As he blurred everything around him fuzzed out, and then went
completely black. In panic at the lack of light, Clark stopped
abruptly and the light returned once he had. He looked around and saw
himself close to the manor.
'That was weird. Looks like Lex will have to clean up the crap his
lackey did on the environment. With that he walked right up and into
the castle by his usual route.
~ First Skip ~
He walked into the foyer and up the steps to the library where he'd
left Lex when they'd had that talk. He walked into the room and saw
Lex bending over to break, and watched as he straightened and turned
to jump slightly when he saw Clark.
"Clark! You scared me, and you know how many times I tell you not to
sneak up on me. What happened in Hawaii? Did you get the tourists
out? Are you okay honey, you look a little confused." While Clark
stood there rooted in the spot at Lex's reaction to see him, Lex had
started chatting away, moving to stand before him and place his arms
around his shoulders.
"You seem tense. Want me to make it all better?" Lex's voice had
dropped several octaves, and Clark couldn't help to respond to the
harsh rub of Lex's thigh suddenly between his legs. Before he could
open his mouth to protest (or that's what he told himself he would
do) Lex kissed him.
The kiss was sweet and Clark felt a deep emotion well up at the love,
and tenderness expressed with the simple contact of lips on lips.
Then Lex deepened it running his hands up and through Clark's hair,
rocking his hips forward against his body.
Clark heard moaning and realized it was himself. He groaned and tried
to pull away from the body before him and sighed in loss when his
request was granted. Only to gasp when Lex undid his slacks and let
them drop to the floor with his briefs. His shirt followed quickly
after and Clark couldn't keep his mouth from dropping open, staring
openly. He blushed at the deep chuckle from Lex and found his arms
full of soft, creamy, hairless skin over taunt muscle.
:"You act like you haven't seen it all before babe. Why don't we take
this to the couch and you can fuck me till neither of us can move."
Clark groaned and buried his face into the shoulder in front of him
and rocked helplessly against the sexy creature on display his for
the taking.
"*Lex.*" Clark felt himself guided to the couch and shoved down
before Lex crawled onto his lap. He leaned forward and kissed Clark
again, tongue shoving into his mouth hips grinding down against
Clark's body. He left his luscious lips to suck, and then bite his
earlobe, hand finding its way into Clark's pants, and freed his cock.
He pumped in time to the thrust of his tongue into his ear, making
Clark arch and keen in the back of his throat.
Clark jerked and cried out when he felt Lex leave him. Lex was back
with a kiss a second later, and nuzzled against his cheek. Clark
whimpered and arched again when he felt a slick hand coating his
cock. He panted and moved upwards the tip of his cock brushing the
inside of Lex's leg each time he pushed up.
Even engulfed in a pleasured haze, Clark noticed Lex had a hand
behind himself doing something while he pumped Clark. Clark slid his
hand between his legs and almost came when he realized Lex was
shoving his own fingers deep into his ass. Lex grinned at him and
stopped stretching himself long enough to put some lube on Clark's
fingers and then against his ass.
"Come on love. I know you need this. Take what you need."
Lex's words emboldened him to reach behind Lex and push a finger
against the slippery entrance. When Lex arched a hissed he very
gently pushed his finger in, working it back and forth deeper until
he hit something that almost made Lex buck off of his lap.
"Clark! Don't play around! Fuck me already."
Clark trembled at the new territory unexplored and hesitated with his
finger still within Lex. Lex growled in impatience and yanked away
from Clark's hand, and positioned himself over Clark's cock. He
plunged down on the tip and cried out as he sank slowly down the
length clenching each inch as it disappeared into his body.
Clark's head tossed back at the amazing feel of tight heat and cried
out harshly. Lex's cry and mews impassioned him even more and he
couldn't stop his hips bucking up, which drove him all the way into
Lex.
Lex gasped and each cord in his neck came out in stark relief as his
back arched and his head flew back, a strangled groan coming from his
throat. "*Clark*."
Clark knew nothing but blind instinct at that point and held Lex's
hips as his pistoned into the canal above him. Lex began writhing in
his grips clenching crazily. Clark yanked Lex's head towards his own
and growled into his neck. He pulled him down one last time before
kissing Lex, shoving his tongue deep inside his mouth and coming in
thick jets.
He felt Lex shudder all over and come onto his own belly with a
scream, falling into his arms.
"Lex!"
They both looked up when the door crashed open and a figure ran in
calling Lex's name. The figure stopped abruptly and stared in shock
at the sight before him as Clark gapped and Lex's eyes widened.
"What the hell?!"
Lex pulled off of a softening Clark as fast as he could and grabbed
his clothes. The two men on either side of him stared in shock at
each other. 'Clark and Clark. This has to be some kind of dream,' Lex
thought as he finished buttoning his pants and saw Clark # 2 do the
same.
"Okay there had to be a logical explanation."
"I've got one. You got plastic surgery to look like me to move in on
my husband! Your dead freak!"
Lex grabbed his husband's arm trying to hold him back, but only
managing to be dragged across the room. "Clark stop!"
"Why? Are you cheating on me Lex?" His Clark had stopped and turned
towards him quickly with a deadly look in his eyes.
"No! You know I wouldn't honey. But you should calm down. I don't
think your reasoning well right now, and look at him. He's just as
confused as we are...In fact now that I think about it, I think he
was confused when he first got here. Weren't you?"
The stunned Clark on the couch nodded haltingly as if he was unable
to move properly. Lex gently let go of his mate and walked up to the
man who had just taken him. "I think we need to hear how you got
here, and without lies. I don't think I'll be able to hold him back,
and if you are like him, my house would be demolished so please don't
lie. Oh and I suppose showers are in order."
Two hours later they all sat around staring at each other. Lex was
sitting next to his husband rubbing his thigh softly mumbling to
himself. Clark # 1 glared fiercely at him. "And it didn't occur to
you to say something to stop Lex? You just happened to let him think
you were me and have sex with him!?" His voice got progressively
louder and Lex snapped out of his contemplating to squeeze the taunt
thigh beneath his hand again.
"Clark...Please let it go."
"Let it go?! He touched you and only 'I' can touch you like that."
"Well technically he's you, so your point is moot." Clark # 1 growled
and Clark # 2 stood and paced holding his hand down, fingers splayed.
"Look, I didn't mean to let it happen but I wasn't really thinking
when he kissed me and stripped. I'm sure you know the feeling."
Clark # 1 nodded reluctantly and pulled his mate into his arms to
caress the soft skin and nuzzle at his neck. Lex watched the other
Clark pace in front of him agitatedly.
"Well if what you say is true then I think I know what happened. You
see Dr. Hamilton was very...eccentric. He had crazy ideas, and I let
him go unchecked for quite some time. I happened to drop in on his
and discovered he was trying to develop interdimensional travel with
a chemical he had developed based on the meteor rocks you came down
in. I stopped his work because of the potential danger to Earth, and
destroyed the chemical as well as all his work. If the Lex in your
dimension didn't know about the work he wouldn't have known to clean
up the mess Dr. Hamilton made."
As Lex talked Clark # 2 had sat down abruptly. "So your
saying I'm in another dimension?"
"Well if you were travelling with your speed, then perhaps something
in your body's make-up triggered the crystals to make a portal of its
own and transferred you here."
"Will I be able to get back?"
"I don't know Clark. I'm sorry."
"Oh God!"
Lex and Clark # 1 looked at each other and then at the anguished boy
before them. Lex suddenly felt bad about his actions. 'If I was more
observant I would've seen the virginal innocence, the youthfulness in
his eyes. I'm sorry I took your innocence Clark...I had forgotten the
way you used to be before you took me for the first time.'
Lex stood and went over to Clark # 2 at a nod from his husband. He
went and sat next to the Clark and rubbed his back soothingly.
Soon the trembling stopped and he looked up at Lex with large tear
filled eyes. "I fought with you right before it happened. You told me
you loved me and then you told me everything you did, and I walked
away without telling you I love you too. I 'hit' you and
walked 'away'. How can I live when the last thing you received from
me was pain?"
Lex felt tears in his own eyes and looked over to his husband. Clark
# 1 got up and sat on Clark # 2's other side. "I don't know what to
tell you Clark, but that you'll have to try and find a way back to
your dimension and set things straight. I found out that Lex is
softer on the inside than you'd think, and if you love him, you'll
have to work hard at his forgiveness. But word of advice forgive him
yourself, before offering him something he'll see through a mile
away. Lex and I'll help you in every way we can." His face was a mask
of determination and it strengthened Clark # 2's resolve.
"Thanks. I think I need to eat. Can I raid your fridge?" At Lex's nod
he got up and walked out towards the kitchen.
"Well he must've been here a lot to know the way around the house."
Clark commented.
Lex just smiled at him and scooted over the gap that Clark # 2 had
left. "I proud of you. You forgot your jealousy and helped him find
hope. You know I love you right?"
Clark grinned and wrapped an arm around his waist and bent his head
to kiss him slowly and with a quiet passion that had Lex moaning and
pliant against him instantly.
"Yeah I know. Besides virgin's got nothing on me. He can't take you
to the level I do." Lex snorted and snuggled up to his egotistic
mate. A whisper into his ear made him a pile of much inside. "I love
you too."

Two weeks later Clark was standing before a trail of chemical that
Lex had synthesized for him when he found the recipe for it. Clark #
1 and Lex stood behind him standing close. He looked back at them and
smiled at the image they made. 'When I get back to you my love, I
promise I'll never leave, or reject you again.'
Lex had reasoned that since the low level of dimension hopping he was
doing would wind down that perhaps the effect was like that of a
skipping stone. You pick it up from the ground and skip it until it
loses velocity and skips one last time before dropping back to the
ground.
So Clark would continue in the skipping until he returned home. That
was his hope anyway. Something to keep him going.
He mentally checked off a list of his supplies. Food, water, clothes,
and plenty of the purple chemical that helped him skip. He turned
back to the couple and waved, having already said their good-byes. He
looked toward the horizon and watched the sun cast a beautiful gold
over everything. 'I'm coming home Lex.'
He zoomed over the crystals and skipped, not knowing what was coming
to meet him.
