Birthday Fic For Lidia - "Just For You" - by PMD
Prologue:
I remember how lost I was without you, the last three months. And now I find, you felt the same, through this wonderful poem.

Lex's POV
The Mansion
The trial is over and father is in prison, for a long time, I hope. Or as long as he is alive, if he really is dying.
I saw her briefly at the trial. Clark was beside her; another brunette on the other side. She turned and smiled at me. Then she went in with the other two.
Clark turned and glared, warning me away from her. I just stood there, knowing that it's not jealousy on his part as much as protecting her from me. That his feelings towards me right now, is the reason, not that he loves her. I would have loved to go up to say hello but knowing Clark and his protectiveness streak, today was not the day for making waves.
"Sir?"
I look up. "Yes, James?"
"This came for you when you were out."
He walks over and hands me an envelope. "Thank you, James."
I think it's something from Lana; her signature on the rental agreement---but it's not.
It's from Chloe---I smile. Got the mail through without Eagle Eyes Kent seeing it.
I open it up and there's a small note with a printed page. I open the note:
Hey CyberKing:
If you're wondering how I got this past old Eagle Eyes Kent, I had my cousin deliver it after the trial. You know, the brunette on the other side. And I made her promise---if you were home---not to ask for an interview. Trust me---you think I'm tenacious---she could drive the Pope to drink.
Well, just wanted you to know how much I appreciated all you've done for my dad and me and the only way I could do that, was with words---a poem. Hope you like it. I'm really not that great at poems---better at long stories. Which this is turning into. Okay---I'm off---no comments! Hope to see you soon---catch up on what's been happening and all. And maybe get in a snuggle or two.
Love, Your CyberQueen
Ahhhh---Lois---the mysterious Lois she had talked about. Does Lana have competition, when she gets her head on straight again? Maybe we should set up Jason with Lois?
I fold the note and put it away, for safekeeping. Then I read the sheet accompanying it:
Just For You - by Chloe E. Sullivan
I once thought I could love a farm boy
He was dark, handsome, and mysterious
But then I found he loved another
My heart broke into two
But it mended
Leaving more room for love to come my way
I met you, the first year you were in Smallville
A friend saved by our mutual friend
You weren't as scary as others have said
You were just a man searching for yourself
A man who wanted friends and family
A good family, that is
During that year, we were casual friends
During that second year of knowing you
We weren't so close though
I missed it but you had to go through some tough times
But through it, I prayed for you
And I thought my prayers unanswered, when you disappeared
I was wrong
My prayers were answered, but you came back changed
Just like me, your heart was broken
But unlike me, you closed yourself off
Except for our mutual friend
And it saddened me that you were this way
During that time, I fell into a bad crowd
Not yours or Clark or Lana's fault---my fault
I was hurt by the lie of their relationship
Not the fact that it existed
I was drowning in darkness
And then, you came to my rescue
You offered a hand to help me up
I was nervous at first---unsure of why you were doing it
In the end, I accepted your protection
And I will never regret that decision
We worked together, finding out about your father
And his early destruction of family
Then you ended up in an institution because of it
And my feelings changed---I was falling for you
Just for you, I would kill the man who did this to you
But I know you wouldn't want that
So, I helped Clark to find a way to save you
But then the monster took your memories away
You came back to us, changed again
Still, you felt this need to have me around
And I helped you once again, to save Lana
Lex, you don't know how much that meant to my ego
To my conscious and spirit
To actually rely on me and my convictions
Then came the final step to cementing my feelings for you
It happened when I was affected by an old experiment
Of you fathers; I was sprayed by truth
And when the truth came out
I found out something nobody else will ever know
That all you wanted was love from your father
Just for you, I would make him love you
Just for you, I would have Clark say he forgives you
Just for you, I would help get Lana away from Jason
Just for you, I would give you the parents you deserve
Just for you, I would punish those who've hurt you
Just for you, I will love you till the day I die.
Lex, these past three months have been agony for me
Knowing that he tried to kill you and I
Makes me want to kill him once more
But time will take care of this
Just know that every minute I was away
All I thought about was you
Not Clark, my best friend
Not Lana, away in Paris
Not Pete, who's gone away
Not even the Talon
Not even the Torch
It was you, only you
Now I know my heart is full of love once more
Just for you, I will slay a dragon
Just for you, I will play the fool
Just for you, I will stay forever
Just for you, I will play it cool
Just remember, always and forever, that I love you
Just for you
The End
It's been a while since I've ever wanted to cry---even a single tear. The last was with my mother. Now, I can feel them in my eyes. She really loves me.
"Hey?"
I look up from the paper and smile. "Hi."
She walks in, her blonde hair shining in the light---like a halo---my own personal angel.
"You read it?"
I nod.
"Pretty bad, eh?" she asks.
I get up and walk over to her. "Just for you and nobody else, I will say this---pretty damn good, Sullivan!"
"Really?" she chokes out, a tear going down her cheek.
"Really," I reply, before enveloping her in a hug.
"Lex?" she whispers.
"Yes?"
"You do feel the same way, right?"
"Yes, I will do all those things for you too. Especially, loving you for the rest of my life."
She backs away, a smile on her face. Then she leans up and kisses me.
Yes, Chloe, just for you I would slay a dragon and love you forever too.
The End.
