Under the Weather
By: Smallville's Girl

Clark woke up, stretched, and turned over to look at his lover. He took one look at Lex, and was instantly worried. Lex lay on his back, dripped in sweat, face flushed. Clark could see his eyes working behind closed lids.

“Lex,” Clark said, gently shaking Lex awake. Lex opened his eyes and looked up at Clark.

“Clarg?” The question came out strained and Lex sounded very congested.

“Lex, are you feeling okay? You don’t look so good.” Clark put his hand against Lex’s forehead. Although he couldn’t real feel hot or cold, Clark knew that Lex appreciated the thought.

“I don’ feel so good,” Lex said softly. He never got sick. However, he had been working so much, not only at the plant, but also on his own. He had been working on collecting as many meteor rocks as possible in order to keep them from his father. He was experimenting with the meteors in order to try to find a way to make Clark immune. He had been burning the candle at both ends, and was now paying the price.

“Let me call Gabe, and let him know that you won’t be in today,” Clark said, reaching for the phone.

“No, I can get up,” Lex said, and immediately tried to get out of bed. He was almost out of bed, when he suddenly fell back. He instead listened to Clark on the phone with Gabe.

“Yeah Lex won’t be in today …. No, I’m sure he’ll be in tomorrow …. Yes, just call if anything drastic happens … Thanks, bye.” Clark turned to Lex, and looked him straight in the eye. “You’ve been working too hard lately. Take this for what it is; a sign. Stop working yourself to death, otherwise I will no longer have my gorgeous lover with his extreme stamina anymore,” Clark said, placing a soft kiss on Lex’s forehead.

“I know, I know. I promise to tage id easy from now on,” Lex said in a heavily congested voice.

“I’m going to go downstairs and make you some soup, and send Enrique out for some cold and flu medicines. You take it easy.” Clark left and let Lex sleep.

Lex didn’t know how long he slept, but when he woke, Clark was waiting for him with medicine in one hand, and a tray with soup and water. He silently gave Lex the pills and watched as he drank the water. When he was satisfied, he slowly spoon fed Lex the soup, alternating between soup and kisses. When Lex had finished the soup, Clark looked at him with a loving smile.

“All right, housekeeping needs to change the sheets, because they are soaked with your sweat. So here’s what we’re going to do. While they are changing the sheets, I am going to give you a bath.” Lex lay still as Clark gently lifted him and carried him to the bathroom. Lex looked over Clark’s shoulder, and saw the housekeeping staff enter the bedroom with a fresh set of sheets. His vision was obscured when Clark closed the bathroom door. Clark sat Lex on the counter, and slowly and lovingly removed his clothes. When Lex was completely naked, Clark undressed himself. When both Clark and Lex were completely naked, Clark turned and began to run the bath water. Lex watched the play of Clark’s muscles beneath bronze skin. He was jolted out of his daydreams when Clark was suddenly in front of him, and placing him into the bathtub.

When Lex was settled, Clark slipped into the bathtub and settled himself behind Lex. Lex leaned back against Clark’s chest, reveling in the hard muscles that rippled under his head when Clark reached for the washcloth. When the washcloth was all sudsy, Clark began to slowly rub it over Lex’s body, lovingly cleaning the sweat off his body. When he was sure that Lex was clean, Clark leaned Lex forward just a bit. Lex had an idea of what was coming, but loved it every time. Lex was waited, and was rewarded with the feel of Clark’s lips and tongue on the back of his head. He never knew how erogenous that bump on the back of his head was until Clark had his way with it. Lex moaned as Clark’s tongue worked its way around that bump, licking and sucking. Lex moaned louder as he felt Clark’s teeth nibble around the bump. Clark alternated between nibbling and sucking, carrying Lex closer and closer to climax.

“I think,” Lex moaned, “that I am starting to feel better.” He felt Clark smile against the back of his head.

“I’m not taking any chances. This weekend, you can do whatever you want. Today, you need to rest. Let me do this.” Lex relaxed as Clark turned him around, and placed his lips against Lex’s. Their tongues and lips tangoed, finding a rhythm. Hands roamed freely under the water, gripping and sliding. Clark’s hands made their way to Lex’s ass and he grabbed tightly, and pulled Lex closer, pressing their bodies together. Lex moaned and began riding and grinding against Clark, waiting for release. Clark moaned, and raised his hips to meet with Lex’s. They both climaxed together, and fell limply together.

“That was fabulous. I feel fabulous,” Lex said with a slow smile.

“You feel fabulous because of the medicine I put in your system. The sex, well, that was just a boost,” Clark said with a grin. Clark stood up, picked Lex up, grabbed a towel, and carried Lex to the bedroom. Clark dressed Lex in a pair of pajama pants and laid him on the bed. Clark pulled on a pair of boxer briefs and laid himself down next to him.

“I love you. What would I do without you,” Lex said softly, eyes drooping with sleep.

“Work yourself into a frenzy, and give yourself a heart attack. But don’t worry, I’ll always be here,” Clark muttered. He watched as Lex fell asleep, and then fell asleep to the sound of Lex’s soft snores.
