Yeah. I thought you knew I wouldn't say 'no'?

I just can't believe you took the pleasure of asking from me.

[ravenscars]

I never assume that sort of thing.

Well, damn. Forget I asked.

[uplifters]

Is it still spontaneous if you know it's coming?

[ravenscars]

You don't have to ask right now, if you want to keep me on my toes. Surprise me. Something like that.

[uplifters]

Surprise you?

That's a dangerous thing to ask of Superman, Mr. Constantine.

[ravenscars]

Is it? Because now I want it even more.

[uplifters]

Well, golly! All right. You asked for it!

I hope you're on guard from now on, John. Lest you do anything you might regret...

[ravenscars]

[ This is the cutest thing in the world, and John is absolutely furious about it. ]

You got it, mate. I'll keep my eyes open. Maybe even behave. Who knows?

[uplifters]

There's no need for that.

I like you just the way you are.

[ravenscars]

Didn't expect to be your type, Kent.

[uplifters]

[ Clark laughs in surprise. He waves off the look Lois gives him over the divider between their cubicles. ]

Do I need to have a type to want to get to know you?

[ravenscars]

[ John squints and brushes it off, parrying it with a question. ]

You can't possibly tell me you don't have a type.

[uplifters]

I don't have a type!

Do you?

[ravenscars]

You're a weird bloke, Clark.

Of course I do.

[uplifters]

What is it, then, O Enlightened One?

[ravenscars]

[ He feels especially dumb for not predicting this question. ]

What? God, I don't know. I like people who have their shit together. Hope is attractive. Optimism. Bravery. Patience and compassion. On a purely physical level, you ought to be bigger than me and I'm a sucker for dark hair and eyes and nice hands.

[uplifters]

Wow. You've thought about this.

Must be great that it isn't that hard to be bigger than you. :-)

[ravenscars]

I have a lot of time to think.

Oh, low. Low.

[uplifters]

How is that low! Isn't it better to have a bigger pool of prospective physical partners? [ Not that Clark Kent, virgin of over three decades, would really know.

But akso, he really was just giving John shit for being short. ]

Gosh.

[ravenscars]

I didn't say you were wrong. I just didn't expect you to call me out like this.

[uplifters]

You know I'm not much for lying.

[ravenscars]

That's for shit sure. Still getting used to it.

[uplifters]

"Getting used to it"?

[ravenscars]

Your honesty, yeah. Consider the company I keep.

[uplifters]

What company do you keep?
