~ Today never happened before. ~
Lex opened the door slowly to find a tearful Clark staggering in.
'Clark!' he cried, reaching out to support his friend. 'What's wrong? What happened? Is it Lana?' he added, as an afterthought. He knew how much the younger man thought of the girl, and he would never do anything to jeopardize their relationship - no matter how much he himself loved Clark.
'No, it's- Yes, I mean- We're done. She broke up with me, Lex,' he whispered brokenly. 'I thought she loved me!' he cried, sobbing into Lex's shoulder.
Lex's heart skipped a beat - they were done. He lifted Clark's chin, looking into his eyes. 'She broke up with you?' he asked softly. As Clark nodded, he felt himself getting suddenly calmer.
'I will always be here for you, Clark,' he said, 'no matter what.' And then he kissed him gently, waiting for Clark's response.
The younger man closed his teary eyes and kissed him back, melting into Lex's embrace as he realized that some things would never change.
